Quick sketch type portrait of my son as a child

Quick watercolour brushwork sketch from life

I did this painting years ago of my son. I had to be quick because he wasn't going to stay still long. I had my watercolours mixed and brushes ready. I took some deep breaths and a moments meditation and a few quick strokes and he was done. Mind you this wasn't the first one. I had a couple of goes, before I was happy with it. Even though he is looking down, I was pleased that I managed to capture his cheeky smile. It's not perfect, but it's a painting that jogs my memories of those happy days. If I wanted perfect, I would have taken a photo! Have fun! Best wishes, Tricia.

I apologise readers for not posting a blog for awhile. I have been busy doing lots of stuff which has thankfully included doing some oil paintings and attending a life drawing group. I also went over to the beach for awhile and studied the sea. I have attempted a couple of sea inspire paintings.

I promise I will post some photos of my new works up soon.Until then I will say cheerio and I hope you are enjoying art also.
