Watercolour Portrait of Mum

This is another portraits I did of Mum. It was my very first attempt with watercolours. I wasn't very happy with how the watercolours turned out, so I added water colour pencils over the top. This is my favorite portrait of Mum, thus far.

Still working away on my many, many projects at the moment. Working on all, finished none. ***sigh***

One commissioned portrait just about finished and another that needs a lot more work.  

Working on original artworks, as well as some other special items, for my Etsy store.

Planning my classes for Life Book. There is still time to sign up, if you haven't already.

May you have a wonderful day.

    Hey there Dee, Yes, I just love to draw eyes. The eyes are the first things I draw. If I can't get them the way I want then the picture will not work for me. 'The windows to the soul'. Thank you for the lovely compliment. I really do appreciate it. I hope you are well and in good health. =D
