Kathryn

This Sunday is our Art on the Boulevard Show.  It takes a lot of time to prepare for it.  But I have been painting.  Yesterday was portrait day.  The model sits for four 20 minute sessions.  The first session, I draw with a pencil.  The next session, I paint the face with watercolor and put some color in the hair.  I have all the colors in puddles on my palette.  I leave the side that the light hits without color but I soften the edge.  Next, I paint the background and the clothes.  The final session, I fine touch the eyes, mouth, nose and hair.
