Sometimes you just want to play around, learn something new, or try out a new technique. Both of these paintings were done for those reasons.
They are also an expansion on the values discussion we have been having for the last few week. Although these are portraits of five people (and yes if you know them you would recognized them), they don't have ultramarine blue hair or faces. I do have to admit that the hair color in the portrait of the three individuals while not exact is in family.
Both of these paintings were done in watercolors using a lot of water to get the background puddles and drips. It was fun to play in the puddles!
The first portrait is of a friend's children (if you recognize them no names please). The second portrait is of my sister, niece, and nephew. One of the dangers of being a family member or friend of an artist is you might just become part of an experiment!
