Giving Life to a Watercolor Portrait by Kathy Michels

New Glowing Skin



Old Lifeless Portrait


This portrait was very muddy looking and had no life. I gave her several face lifts and repainted over and over until I was happy with her glowing skin. Each piece is a learning experience and an adventure.

I like what you did, Kathy, but if it would be up to me.. I wouldn't touch it. I like the first version too. Either way - it is beautiful portrait. If i would be the girl you painted, it already would be on my wall!
