Sunday Sketches - Woman in Profile






For Sunday Sketches I've done a 'woman in profile' (5" x 7") in watercolour paint, which I am still getting used to.  It's kind of fun, in a softer, less forgiving way.

And Lissa is having a giveway please visit! 

Sandra asked what was my inspiration for this painting and here it is, the photo I saw in the newspaper:

A woman with a lot on her mind it seems. Great use of lines and colours.

Looks like you are having a great time playing with your watercolours and drawing her profile. Just wondering if you drew from real life or a magazine?

I was inspired by a photo I saw in the newspaper, I was trying to find the clipping but I guess I threw it out, wanted to post it for you. I made up the hair as the lady was wearing a headcovering.

Your watercolor is very pretty! Watercolors are one of the less forgiving mediums, but they can be lovely. I'm glad you're giving them a go.
