Live Model Watercolours

These poses range from 5 minutes to 45 minutes.  I think a shorter pose is better for me because then I don't have time to ruin my painting.  Knowing when to stop is one of the hardest things!

I painted these sketches in August, either on the beach or from the porch of the place we were staying in Cape Porpoise...It was beautiful!

Flowers, Flowers and More Flowers!!!

Thanks to Elizabeth Galante's magnificent flower selection!  The top painting is of a Proteus, a flower I had never seen before.   It is most extraordinary, what I would call a space flower!  All water colour on Arches Aquarelle.
