third times a charm

promenade-paintings

I just completed the second attempt to paint a portrait of my sister and brother at their annual Jane Austin holiday in Bath. I am so disappointed with both. Its so strange. I am happy with most of the painting except the faces. And in both of them its like I did the same thing, even though I was trying not to. Its like I am doomed to over work the faces. It is a real sign I need to practice more before I make another attempt. I am going to go to the library today and see if I can find a book on watercolor portraits, and get to it.

more stuff to learn.

    I actually really like the faces on the one to the left. Is that the new one? Has a cool blurred effect.
