First Performance!

 I am proud of this painting that was a commission for a special friend. It is of his granddaughter in a play. I was so attracted to the theatrical theme and enjoyed creating the lighting effects in watercolor. It was a challenge but I am pleased with the result. I took photos of it in stages as I developed the painting. They are posted below. The painting was done on 300lb Kilimanjaro watercolor paper.

Nice chronology. Helps me to understand your approach in developing the composition. Do you also develop the initial sketch from a photograph?

Hi Gene! Yes I do develop it from a photograph. I also use Photoshop as a design tool also.
