Portrait of Archer with Hoodie

 Not for sale, 13 by 17 inches, Watercolor on watercolor board

This is my second portrait watercolor painting. Using watercolor in an airbrush is a bit more labor intensive than using acrylic. However, I don't use watercolor in the traditional sense in which the white paper shows through in the painting. I use a white watercolor paint in the airbrush to paint in the whites. 

Nude Study on Watercolor Paper

Click to Bid, 8 by 10 inches, Acrylic and watercolor on watercolor paper.
I always like how watercolor paper absorbs paint.  In this painting I applied watercolors using a sponge on wet paper. The bleeding of color was a bit uncontrollable but I like the results.  The figure was applied using airbrush with acrylic paint.

This painting represents a "change-up" for me.  The background was done while the paper was moist. The paint was applied with an eye dropper.  I then covered the background with frisket and airbrushed the flower.

This is somewhat different from my recent paintings.  In addition to being a watercolor the background is done with tissue paper.   I began by covering the face drawing with a liquid frisk.  The watercolor paper is then moistened and the tissue is applied.  The color bleeds from the tissue onto the paper.  The tissue is removed after the color is allowed to bleed onto the paper. Once the paper is dry I removed the liquid frisk.  I then made a poster board stencil and airbrushed the face.

This is a painting that I had posted earlier.  However, I recently went back and made some additions to the painting.  It's also one of the few watercolors that I've painted.

Watercolor                  11 by 14 inches                                                                                             Another change of pace for me.    Watercolor is very different from acrylic in many respects.  I tried to keep this piece loose compared to my airbrush acrylic paintings.
