Value Study

For Paint Party Friday

I am submitting this

value study.

 My instructor called it a

 whimsical type portrait.

One of these days I will learn to do

real portraits.

Learning where to put the darks,

and the lights...and

to give contour to the scarf etc.

Then for the background

I just added lots of color,

watched as the paper buckled up

(that's what cheap paper does btw)

 laid it flat and let it dry.

Doing this created lots of blooms,

but I like the texture of it.

I've learned that blooms are okay in watercolor.

It's not such a taboo thing anymore.

Hope you have a wonderful day!

Savor the Day!
