Hoppy Easter

I so love the style of painting very loosely with watercolour, leaving a good bit of the painting up to the viewer to piece together and yet it is so difficult for me to do. I literally have to make myself walk away from a piece to stop myself from filling in 'just a little bit here' which leads to a little bit more over here. That's where it would be wonderful to have a magical undo' switch, sigh.

This is painted with permission from  Peter Winshaw"s photograph from the Photos for Artists facebook group. It is done in a limited palette of burnt sienna and ultramarine blue. I'm really pleased with his face and ears, which is what drew me to the photo in the first place. 

I'm still working away at the colourful bugs seen in my last post and also have the acrylic piece and another watercolour on the go. So lots to work on at the moment, depending on my mood LOL.
