Kristin in watercolour

[Julie Deane]

Brenda -

Good for you! I especially like your first sample.

I tried a few weeks ago to do a sample profile in watercolor, but gave up in disgust. The November gala I do for my hometown may want me to do watercolor pieces, but I just don't have the knack. Charcoal and pastel will have to do!

Folks who are able to get a good likeness and rendering in watercolor have my utmost admiration.

Oh, I see I posted at the same time Cynthia's samples went up. Thanks for sharing these!

Thank you, Julie. Watercolor is kind of satisfying in that it happens very quickly (compared to an oil painting.)

There was a time when I wouldn't have had much to put into watercolors either. I wouldn't rule them out altogether if I were you. At some point you may try them again and really like them!
