Iskamontero in the garden

Here's one I've been working on for a challenge on Redbubble.





Watercolour, 10" by 12" crop from an original size of quarter sheet, on Fabriano Artistico HP paper, which is a rather smooth surface. Was going for a real sunny feel with this one.

The reference photo was supplied by Iskamontero herself, for a portrait challenge on Redbubble (in the Bubbler Portraits group).

    I like the way you did her eyes. Very appealing.

    Thanks Nora, it's an appealing pose, with that slightly upturned look.

    You got it--the sunny feel. I do so admire the simplicity of your portraits.

    Thanks Linda. Believe me, they don't seem simple when I'm painting them! Nice to know they don't look overdone.
