Here is a watercolor I did for a friend of mine. 8 1/2 X 11. It's the first nondigital piece I've done in quite a while. Let me know what you think and what i might work on more for in the future, please. Finished some of the detail with colored pencil.

Hereis the reference I used for the painting.

Thanks,

JMN

P.S. Water color is a darned hard medium to pull off. It requires a lot of planning before hand, but it's worth it for some of the great effects you get like what you've seen in Spooge Demon's speed pics. In this pic i like how her dress turned out. Pretty cool stuff.

Impressive handling of the paints! I like it. Though I must admit it feels more like a marker rendering to me than a watercolour, but I am guessing that is due to your palette.

Thank you. I can see your point about the marker drawing. I still tend to over work my watercolors. That's why I like her dress so much, because I got a nice affect with few brush strokes.
