This week there was a new model at the drawing group, always interesting to have someone new. I did these two portraits in watercolor in 25 minutes. I begin with washes of color, never drawing them in. The charcoal was done on Strathmore paper. The charcoal was done in 15 minutes.
These were done with the Saturday morning drawing group of the Skokie Art Guild. The charcoal drawing was done in 15 minutes and the watercolor portrait was done in 25 minutes. I am not liking the texture of the charcoal paper and don't think I would buy another pad of that. The watercolor is on 140 pound Arches paper. I'm only specifying the time because I could d a much more thorough job with more working time.
