Watercolor in Progress by Kathy Michels

I always love working on my dancers.  This time of year I don't paint as often as I'd
like because I am always on a photoshoot somewhere.  Having lupus really restricts
the time I spend outdoors.  Springtime is a wonderful time for me to be out getting
photos that I will paint from during the hot summer months - though I do tend to
overdo it!  I am hoping to have "Artists at Work" finished up in the next week or so. 

Pretty in Pink by Kathy Michels

Pretty in Pink is approx. 10" x 22" watercolor I

finished this summer.  An adorable little girl that was so excited as she prepared for her ballet dancing.

Watercolor Belly Dancers WIP by Kathy Michels

I am continuing my work on my watercolor belly dancer painting. The photo shows half of the painting. The full piece has two belly dancers. The dancers were dressed in goth instead of the brilliant color costumes I had anticipated. So I decided to focus on the knives and bellies and took a more artistic approach to the painting. It has been a challange and been fun dealing with the skin tones, lace, feathers, fake flowers, etc.
