DAY 30 & DONE @sktchy.bsky.social
Did my "final" make the grade? I wanted to convey that our muse was emerging from a time of darkness and finding lighter times.
Thanks to all the instructors who led us through 30 Faces 30 Days Watercolor 2025.

I posterized the reference photo to give a graphic and dramatic change between gradients. Then I started painting this stripey faced portrait before I found out it was the instructor's mom. Oops! I hope I'm forgiven

I picked up the wrong blue for the palette. I grabbed a multi-pigment blue instead of Phthalo blue. My color mixes were a wee bit off. But I like my Teal-haired lady!🫶

'Adornment' Jewelry tells a lot about someone. The HAIR, cowrie shells, dreadlock jewelry, arm cuff, necklaces and earrings are this woman's adornment package. I featured the jewelry with metallic paints.

Is she waiting for pizza? Snooping on her neighbor? Did she hear a weird noise? What do you think she's looking for?
I used Rockwell's self-evolving paint color Peat Bogs. Texture!

I present THE BLUEBERRY FARMER. He's been out in the sun all day. Up all night keeping wildlife off the crop. May have spilled some blueberry wine in the process. It's a mess; I had so much fun.

I had more success with this complimentary pairing. It didn't trigger the chromatic aberration nearly as much. This woman's attitude says, "Pissed Off!" Which I know a lot of people are right now. So I went with it.
