Watercolor Portraits













































Watercolor on watercolor paper, 5x7 inches

I'm just finishing up this order, its funny I feel like I get to know all these strangers I draw, even though I often don't even know their name. If I ran into one of them on the street they would be pretty creeped out that a stranger recognized them ;)I'm still trying to figure out how to use watercolors.

First Family Picture

Pencil on Paper, 11x14 inches.

I love this photograph so much! A woman contacted me wanting to get a present for her parents, she is getting married and wanted a family portrait drawn. The really fun part is that the newborn in this picture is the woman getting married :) She says this was the first picture they have of them as a whole family. So cool :)

Through Heaven's Eyes

This photo was taken while flying home from Alaska, I felt so lucky to be able to look down on God's creations like He does.

Smile!

Pencil on paper, 8 x 10.

This was a fun order, such crisp lines and a great candid smile.

Multiple originals.

Pencil on paper, 5x7

You've seen this one before, the woman wanted 4 original drawings. Although I really liked this picture, it isn't very fun doing the same drawing 4 times. ;) I was really excited to be done.


birthday present

Prisma colored pencils: 5x7 in.

A lady ordered this picture for a friend's birthday, working small with colored pencils is actually harder than I thought. I keep thinking these other mediums are simple like pencils but they aren't, I'm still figuring out the colored pencils.
