I just finished the AquaVember challenge again in November. I created a new watercolor piece every day that month. My favorites are probably the portraits from the 30 piece series. I’ll probably post some more pieces later, but I really wanted to post these right now.
9×12. Prismacolor Pencils
This is actually an old piece, but I didn’t post it here for some reason. I created this portrait with a live model in about two hours. You can do some amazing things with toned paper. The trick is to use the smooth side though. I usually purchase Canson Pastel paper and one side has a tooth to it. I would love to create more toned pieces, but I’m really trying to paint as much as I can. I’ve obviously been trying to paint with watercolors and I’m teaching myself how to use oils. I will always love the control that you have with drawing though. Oils is an interesting medium and hopefully I’ll post a decent oil piece soon. I have a lot to learn.
Lizanne. 9×12. Watercolour
I actually finished this piece during the Summer of 2012. I don’t know why it took me so long to upload it here though. I was probably trying to wait until I could photograph it. The scan added a lot of yellow to the image unfortunately.
9x12 Watercolour Portrait.
After applying layers and layers of watercolour, this image continues to be soft. Do I really need solid opaque layers though?
9x12 Watercolour portrait.
Yes, I’m still around. I’ve been working on portraits and paintings a lot lately. I’ll eventually flood my blog with the new work. I’ve been told that I don’t paint, but I actually draw with paint. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or what. I am self-trained, so I have a hybrid technique I guess.
Anyways, I’m still available for commissions. Serious inquires can be sent to: lawrence.devon@ymail.com
