Challenge

The sketch

I started a new portrait today. Portraits in watercolor are always a challenge to me. That probably has something to do with my style when painting them, tending toward very representational. This means getting the features correct or the painting just does not look right. Actually this painting will (hopefully) replace another one that was never quite right. Another part of the challenge is the long amount of time since my last portrait and all of my recent abstract painting and collages. But challenges can be good.
