Done during art school, but not when classes were in session. I was hanging out with an old friend here in Denton and we were painting and I decided to draw her real fast then paint it in. This was fun, spontaneous, and took about 25 minutes to complete.
Portrait of Kelly
Watercolor on Arches.
I’ve been working on a drawing during my seldom down-time at my job. I started using clear re-enforcement tab stickers on the hair. I’m hoping to gouache over this and that the gloss will still shine through the paint someone instead of just being crappy and chalky.
So sorry for the horrible quality, I didn’t have access to a scanner on my lunch break.
I love her peppermint curls. So cute. I was inspired for this one. Start to finish took about an hour and a half. I need to do more of this sort of thing. IDK why i haven’t yet.
I must say, having an animated gif-booth at a wedding shower was super fun. I’ll post more when I get them :)
So, this is me. This is me doing the cabbage patch. So original.
My classmate and art school comrade Michael Bales is one of the best painters I’ve ever met. You guys should go check out his work because uhm, amazing!
