Ethan

I am so keen to develop a looser approach to watercolours.  Here is a picture of my son Ethan.  I started with a contour drawing and then began with the darks.  I also tried to go out of the body as soon as possible to the dark tree in the background.  I did the road and the green grass last, after the shadow, which was a problem perhaps – but it feels great to just do it with out trying to be perfect – mmm very good.

I will try this again as soon as I can.

    This is so dynamic. A lot of artists would gladly give up their eye teeth to be able to draw/paint with such facility. The shadow really gives the leap to it.
