My Watercolor Series

9/16/2013

So I'm taking a watercolor class at the Glassell School, with the amazing watercolorist Janet Hassinger, and a couple of weeks ago I decided on the theme for series project for this semester. Coincidentally, I had chosen Lucy's hair as the theme, and since the subject of hair came up so auspiciously last week, I decided to share the progress of my work with you. Of course, I'm just getting started on it. But I will keep updating it's progress so people can see the various stages of a watercolor paintings and the development of the series. I plan on using various techniques, color combinations and different stylistic approaches.

This is a preliminary sketch. It's interesting how the hair really takes on an abstract look. My colleagues had a hard time identifying the subject of the painting (which pleases me, as I always dabble on the fine line between reality and abstract (shapes).

Piece 1, maintaining the neutral color scheme of the sketch, working negative spacing the locks and adding preliminary value range.

I think there is a lot to explore in Lucy's hair, literally!

Here are some pieces from my previous series, on Agave plants. Perhaps there may be some subliminal similarities despite the contrasting subject matter.
