painting in process - 'nude torso'

She's at it again! 

With this painting, I tried to get a little more "watercolory."  I have been told that my watercolor style is a lot more like acrylics than it is watercolors.  I don't at all think this is a bad thing (and don't believe that's what other people think either), but I do want to keep expanding into new territory.  

So this painting I really worked with adding more water and blending.  It's a small difference from my last ones, let's see if you notice.

  1. I love it, its great to see you pushing out of your comfort zone! I definitely didn't mean that your acrylic style was bad, I hope I didn't offend you!

    I'd love to see you working with underwashes too - laying down all the lighter yellow first, and then building the darker colors on top. The drawback is having to wait for stuff to dry in between!

    Sorry, I'm probably a pain in your butt! :o)
    I did watercolor renderings in architecture school, and I was amazed at how different so-called "proper technique" was than I expected. I tried photographing some of my work but I am TERRIBLE at photographing art.
