Here is the work in progress . I have them blocked in ...be sure to click on the image to see larger and more detail .. enjoy

....I wanted to do a poitrait of some dear friends , but I always struggle with my first drawing looking like a characture. So this time I took a brush and some thin watercolors on typing paper and just flew through to get rid of that first strong image that comes out. This was done in 10 minutes. I enjoyed doing this so much I may have to do more of these. On Every Day Matters there was a discussion about right and left brain drawings. This one came to mind when they were discussing weather one should be very precise or just let it be quick and loose. This was loose and so much fun!

I think you've done a terrific job of them. They look more lively in your painting than they do in the photo. The freedom and fun you felt while doing this really shows!!

Thanks Brenda! So when I finish the real portrait, should I give them the characture? too much fun! Thanks for looking!

Cathy,
Great collection of sketches/paintings - in so many media. Loved seeing all of them. Please keep sharing with the group.

Don't you just love sketching in watercolor? It's freeing, for me at least, because I can't expect to be very good at it! I agree with Shirley, a great collection of a variety of media. --Carol C.
