Feeling like spring!

It's Valentine's Day, and it definitely feels like spring here on the west coast. Buds, bulbs and birds springing out ...

​
In the studio we are starting the portrait portion of the WCIII class... very exciting. Using mannequins initially to draw head- proportions and angles etc.- and then will try 3 different approaches to portraits in watercolour: 'classic', loose (in the amazing artist Ted Nuttall fashion), and stylized (in a more graphic, colourful fashion).

On my easel- I have finally finished up a couple of commission, and another 2 acrylics (one will be submitted to our local art gallery's Member's Show next month). 

The class with John Schevers was wonderful , and although my  piece didn't turn out as we expected , I have done several other small works -- 8x10" on wood-- in this style. Totally love them!!

More wonderful student work--- in progress...

and painters drawing, and painting...
