Portrait of Linda watercolor on 300lb paper 11x14
The spring issue will be out in April.
I've been working all week (yes over the holidays) for my next article in watercolor magazine. I have a column there, but the next article will be on painting watercolor portraits from photos. I will include one or two paintings I've done from life, but the main part of the article will talk about how I use a digital camera and photoshop to help me make better portraits from photos.
Here's the "almost complete" painting that will be featured in the article.

I use a glazing technique with watercolor that I learned from Sondar Freckelton which avoids mud altogether.
I hope at some point to put a little video on Artist Daily showing how I do multiple glazes with pure color at some point. Lots to do right now but it's on my "to do" list.

Lovely painting. While I'm not a watercolor painter I am working on portraits in pencil. I'm looking forward to reading about how you use a digital camera and photo shop to enhance photos. Should be helpful with my drawing.
