Some portraits
This one is my (now ex)girlfriend, Vicky.


My friend Maggie:


Self Portrait:


Currently working on a portrait of my friend Chelsey.


I draw them out on ink paper with 2H pencil, and then transfer the drawing over to the watercolor paper. I've been using Winsor & Newton watercolors on Strathmore 140 cold press paper with a 00, a 3 round, and a 5 round. Maggie's and my own only took a few days. Vicky's took a week, and Chelsey's is going on 4 days now (I'm further than that picture, but my camera needs new batteries).

I got my first commission ever a couple weeks ago, I'll be painting portraits of a woman's 4 children. I'm super-excited by it!
