portrait of a black man, In my ongoing love affair with watercolors, I tried painting a portrait. I have always been intimidated by the human form. I am pleased with this painting, but I want to loosen up. I'll be painting this again, only I'll try to be looser. I tend to be too tight in my painting at times. I used a picture from a magazine as my reference. He looks angry!
For his skin color I used a classic triad for dark skin: cadmium red, raw sienna and ultramarine blue. I chose the green background as the compliment to the red in his skin.
I just signed up for a 3-day drawing workshop with Susan Hope Fogel in mid-August. I can't wait! I try to take one workshop a year. Susan Hope Fogel lives locally to me and in the beautiful town on Warwick, NY. It's 3 full days of drawing :)
