Sunday Sketches

I really challenged myself today!

It was a study of lines versus softness. I wanted to sketch my grandson sleeping but how do I define the features without loosing the softness of his face?

This is the first time I have done a watercolor portrait painting with lines.



No, he is not related to Spock ;)

  2. LOL at the spock comment. He really doesn't look like spock, though. :) I like the way you left his hair soft and feathery without lines. Baby's hair is so hard to depict, I think. His looks just right.
