In Progress, Maria Kovalenko Leysens


I usually don't like to post too many "in progress" works but this watercolor is moving along nicely and I thought I would share.  You can see the original vintage photo that I scanned and work from my computer screen. I find that works best for me when working from photos. I can brighten some areas  to get details and change the color temperature if needed. It helps if the photo is in focus to get detail, but if the photo is blurry, I can get general shapes and attitudes that makes for a different kind of portrait.
