Fresh baked painting! MMMM its still hot and melty.
Ok I just finished this one about 5 minutes ago. at least I think its finished I might play with it a little
But with watercolor you get one shot to get it right. Theres no re-working an area, once its on the paper that's what you get. As far a process goes. I usually don't paint the same thing twice. I don't do any pre sketches, I just get an idea and go for it. I do have hundreds of sketchbook pages full of ideas I haven't had time to deal with.
I had requests for larger pieces. and incidentally most of my pieces ARE large. however the last batch of watercolors were small.
this new piece is the first one completed in the next series. these paintings are 15" x 20" watercolor and ink on hot press rag board.

close up so you can see whose peeking out of the Bure
