Beginning stages of watercolor painting...a light sketch of the outline |
Initial washes of color...very light |
Adding some shadows and building up the washes as I go Finally got to start working on some of the Peru art tonight. I had some visitors in the gallery today, and I was telling them there would be a Peruvian art show at Christmas, so I thought I should at least start on something! This photo of this woman in Cuzco was one of my favorites. I like the light and shadows, and the colored pattern on the clothing, etc. This woman was selling little Peruvian dolls, and she was in front of our hotel every morning as we boarded the bus. One day the police came and ran her off; they are not supposed to be selling items to the tourists outside of the marketplace. But she was back the next day...hopeful for some customers! I will continue to work on this painting and will post as I go. sheltongail@hotmail.com |
