Joan's Portrait

Joan
Watercolor on Paper
15" x 11"
Wanda M. Spangler-Warren
2011
New group attendee Joan was elbowed into the model chair after a recent no-show at The Art Center's Wednesday portrait group.  She had no idea we'd be expecting her to sit for four twenty-minute sittings, and I think she may have been a bit tired by the end of the two hours.  However, I was pleased with my portrait that morning.  I was concentrating on softness of skin tone and line, and I was working to also soften edges.  I hope Joan likes it, too.

Thanks, Jill! I will have to wait a week or so to give Joan a copy of this...we are not having our portrait group this week because of the Thanksgiving holiday. Hope to see her before Christmas.

This is one of my favorites. The softness and values are lovely. I am sure she will love this.
