recent watercolor sketches

the same qualities that make watercolor so attractive also make it
difficult to control, and even harder to correct.
.......when watercolorists start  over they have to reach for another piece of paper.
from the book "watercolor painting" by tom hofmann

i feel there is always something wrong with my sketches, sometimes the portraiture doesn't quite lookalike
or sometimes i have overdone the watercolor or line drawing.....

  2. Wow, these are magnificent! I love the way your line searches out the forms and still captures the values. Plus I love the multiple images on each page. I think the watercolors are wonderfully sensitive. Really great work!
