A Work in Progress...

29 Faces In May... this makes # 2


A  watercolor sketch... with a splash of blue!


Gathered up some vintage paper and music sheets.
I will use this to create her hair. 


I do not think she will object!



As I was working on this sketch a few things came to mind...
I see the color blue and think of breathing, the ocean and purity.
Also, why I am working in watercolors? 
Working on vintage paper is difficult enough. 
Then applying watercolors can create even a bigger challenge.
Thoughts to ponder... 
I just might discover something new about myself.


She is wet and waits patently to dry.

Happy Wednesday!

    i love this... i'm such a sucker for ANYTHING painted on words or sheet music. :-) I really love the acrylic flowers too, in your other post. Your take on the blue, and purity...and learning something about yourself was interesting to me. (art always teaches us something, doesn't it?) These are wonderful faces. Have a great week April! xoxo

    She's lovely. The watercolor on the paper is such a great effect--so soothing and tranquil. You're off to a great start! xx
