painting of hemingway with a rifle.

i wish the colors didn't turn all washed out and stuff in the picture, because they are a lot more vibrant and alive in the actual piece.

face and hand work best because of the integration of the pigments and page.  these rest feels a little too wash-with-a-color.  nicely done in general though.
A mistake is a mistake.
The same mistake twice is a bad habit.
The same mistake three or more times is a motif.

i wish i had a better camera or something, because it's not nearly that washed out. however, i'm not one to make excuses. so, thanks for the compliment. i don't usually get around to doing very much "fine arty" type of work, so it's nice to hear positive feedback.

not washed out, made with a generic wash - the saturation is pretty high.  like the painter's version of gradient fill.

the face and hands are much more fluid, inspired, and the shapes create interest.  even the blank lower part has it's own character in a way the rest doesn't, although the rest of this color-shape (where it's under the gun and meeting the shoulder) is also unresovled.

Watercolors are tough, this is a great study :)

oh i get it. yeah, i guess you're right.
my biggest problem with watercolor has been over doing things, and i was just afraid of it being too messy. i wanted a few detail spots, and then one focal point (the eye).
overall, i'll try again with a portrait of hunter s thompson.
