I actually paint a LOT of figures and portraits that never make it to this blog. Many don't fit the personality of this blog. This one fits nicely and is one with which I'm particularly happy.
The way I see things in watercolor, gouache, charcoal, ink, graphite, pastels and a few pixels

watercolor, 2018
available, 8"x10"
A quick portrait from an old black and white photo. I used my new favorite caucasian flesh mix of yellow ochre, DaVinci red (or any warm red), and cobalt blue. A bit of perylene maroon (or any cool red) is used in the middle shadows. It looks much better in person. The scan always tends to add a bit more yellow, which is difficult to fix without altering the other colors. I'm still working toward photographing all my paintings. Right now this is a content, if not happy, medium.
