Deb Smith Watercolors

My assignment is to paint 2 faces for Ten Thousand Villages to photograph with jewelry for their blog. I have some examples, a color scheme, and some models to paint from.

I chose the wild-haired model to paint first. The small sketch helps with color choices and technique.

I soaked the paper, wiped off the excess water with paper towels, then added watercolor paint.

I can add detail after it dries. It's a bit wild looking but I plan on making 2 attempts for each painting.
