A great portrait Marjorie, I love the loose way you have painted her hair.

A superb portrait Marjorie. I find good watercolour paper will take a bit of bashing about.

It's beautiful, she's beautiful!

Beautiful watercolour portrait Marjorie

Absolutely gorgeous in all respects Marjorie. I like Arches, as you mentioned it’s great for lifting out colour, I’ve even stuck it under the tap to erase bits.

Lovely work Marjorie.I like how you’ve managed to capture the shadow of the glasses on her cheek.

Wonderful. You make painting specs look easy, but we know otherwise! Another gem Marjorie.

Beautiful daughter and beautiful watercolor, Marjorie. Maybe the paper is too rough.

Trying out new watercolour paper - Arches Cold Pressed, fine grain. It’s beautiful! I made lots of revisions and was able to wash out mistakes very easily. It takes quite a bit of a bashing. My daughter when she was deciding on reading glasses. Can’t remember if she chose these.
