Algodonales, Cádiz

Transparent watercolor on 12 x 15 140 lb Arches.  Worked on the fog with Magic Eraser.  I did a value sketch yesterday which helped some but it was still complex.

found on Flicker at www.flickr.com/photos/inmaserranito/5421114802/ Following up on a suggestion from my recent watercolor workshop to do a value study before painting. I guess to keep all your struggles in the sketch and be able to put down the paint with freshness. We'll see if it works for me.

Krystal Vallarta Beach

En Plein Air transparent watercolor on 140 lb Arches paper.  Last painting at the workshop.  I didn't have some of the tools and the beach got blazing hot.  I had to quit and go swimming.

fairsquare for Julia Kay Portrait Party

Just got back from Mexico and chose Mexico colors for this Irish face.  Should have had more reds and less yellows.

We are doing self-portraits to celebrate the production of 10,000 portraits by the combined members of the Julia Kay Portrait Party. Transparent watercolor on 140 lb Arches watercolor paper.

Another Photoshop Version of Jimmer

The Jimmer for JKPP

Did the watercolor and started playing with the image in photoshop.  Not the expert at that as the Jimmer is.

Transparent watercolor with layered washes

Madregal for JKPP

Trying out some large brushes and a little wet in wet.  Still do not have the nerve for much wet in wet, but I like the large brushes.
