This I painted in my sketchbook from a photo. The weather warmed up a bit in February and the snow started to melt and created large mud puddles. I liked the lighting in the photo. It had a moody feeling. I used a limited palette of mostly Ultra Marine Blue, Burnt Sienna, Cerulean Blue and Pthalo Green.
Below is a little watercolor sketch I did this winter for fun. It is titled, La Parisien. I used two colors Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Sienna.
Watercolor I did of 1930s Actress Ann Harding from a Pathé Pictures lithographic movie poster. Fun to do the portrait in watercolor.
