Artist's Comments

I've decided to practice faces and watercolor skin tones. I've faved four awesome portrait stock photos and I'll be drawing them, then painting them.

So, this was my first one. It does look better now that it's painted. The scanner really brought out that black smudge under her eye. Not as noticeable in person.

Sometimes a picture can retain the colors better than a scanner. I was having trouble with colors. I'm not sure if Payne's gray was a good choice for shadow. Thank you!

Yeah. It saw the blotch under her eye and said, "This is a midtone! You said to darken the midtones!!"

Sadly, I'm so old that I shout at scanners, and other gadgets, all the time when they chose to ignore my demands. *sigh* They never listen. :D
