A portrait a day - Day 3 - Mom

a portrait a day 3

Watercolor on Canson Montval 140lb cold press paper, 9x12". 20+15 minutes.

The reference photo is my mom holding my baby son. I think she actually looks more like me here, but then - I kinda look like my mom ;). Not happy with the bottom half of her face...Kept going back to it and couldn't get it quite right. But like I said to my husband today, that's the advantage of a large project like this: I don't care too much about one painting out of 206. Even if I only get 1 out of 10 right, I will still have 20 good paintings in the end!
