Sketchbook Challenge - 4th May 2012
On a shopping trip to find clothes for Samuel we ended up in Debenhams where he insisted on trying hats on. He looked really cool and in advance of his age plus there were some really nice lights and darks. I think this sketch of Sam, has the potential for a larger finished painting. I am unsure of what to include in the background but feel that the loose effect of the colours drifting off works well.
Half way stage between drawing and painting. I have put in all the darks that make the contrasts with the lights of the skin tones. This is different from the normal working of light against dark. At times it can be easier to work watercolour dark against light especially if you have some light areas the you want to keep.
The finished sketch as it appears in my book.
