A precious friend of mine lost a precious friend of hers this past week and invited me to do a painting of little Peri. I decided to follow it photographically from the start to finish. So here are a couple of the color sketches I did, and the first couple hours of painting progress on the actual piece. The two sketches each have elements and color choices I like, so they are what is informing my decisions in the painting. It is a "gridded" watercolor on Windsor&Newton 140lb hot press paper. 11x16 inches. I love doing animals in this technique, but landscapes and still lifes are equally interesting.
