Classwork

These are the beginnings for the Gullah Woman paintings we will do in class. These are both size 11 x 15 watercolor paintings showing two different beginning approaches. The colorful painting has a wash of color under her skin as well as the background. The colorful under painting will add to the richness. The red brown painting is started as a value study.
