Todays' work. this 9" by 12" watercolour portrait was commissioned by the winning bidder at the Cancer Society's annual silent auction. When worthy causes request a donation from me, I usually donate a gift certificate for an 8" by 10" portrait.
I bumped the size up on this to 9" by 12" more for my own convenience - it's easier to paint a good likeness when it's a little larger.

Oh, and tie-dye is a lot harder to paint than I thought it would be.

Original not available.

Gorgeous! Love the fact that her bathing suit is so bright

Thank you very much! This is one of my favourites - that tie-dye look isn't as easy as I thought it would be in watercolour.

The girl is so cute and that tie dyed swimsuit is well rendered

~theancientofdays Oct 27, 2008

Thank you very much! I think the commissioner will be happy with it - I put a little extra into it since it was a charity thing.

This is such a beautiful painting! So realistic, as always! Great job!

~theancientofdays Oct 27, 2008

Thank you very much!

It was certainly challenging - the skin tones, tie-dye and angle of the head were pretty tough. Glad you like it! ^_^

Really really stunning painting Chris

love the skin and the background

~theancientofdays Oct 27, 2008

Thanks very much, David! I added a little burnt sienna to the skin to give her that summer-glow look. I literally got lucky on the background - I didn't want to get too detailed for fear it would take away from the subject, but have just enough to look like shallow water and sand.

Well you surely got it right on this Chris
