Description

Sunoculars - 16" x 20" - March 2014 - Watercolour

Have you ever tried photographing a fair-skinned, light-eyed child? No fun at all. Constantly squinting when facing the sun, and this was no different with Robin. When I started painting this picture of her that I took when she was much younger, striking a pose she naturally assumed, she confessed to me that her eyes were usually closed, hidden behind her make-shift sun visor. I was the one who had to squint when working from this photo, at first believing that both eyes were closed, but no... one eye was open.

Thanks for looking!

I just featured this painting in an article featuring great realistic watercolor paintings!

Fantastic Realistic Watercolors! ~ October SpecialOctober 12, 2015
Since I am attempting to teach myself watercolors, I decided as my first journal since coming back to DA in several years would be highlighting the wonderful traditional realistic watercolor artists here on DA! I have chosen paintings made with watercolor paints as well as watercolor pencils as long as the pencils were also made wet with a brush.
Show these artists your love by faving their pictures and leaving a comment.
