Another sample of a couple steps before the final result. Here I show the initial pencil and one of the two faces almost finished. Don’t know why, but personally I love the contrast of part of drawing watercolored and the other just with the pencil and I almost always do photos to my drawings in that state, before finalizing them. What do you think?
Some data for those of you interestend in such things ( I have been asked several times) is that most of my watercolors are done on Canson Montval 300 grams paper and with an old Schminke watercolor box for which I have much affection even though it’s made powder.
You can see the final outcome of this drawing in particular on my Watercolor Gallery

It seems that the last time I showed pictures of the process of a drawing you liked it. So this time I’ll show the process of a watercolor (if it’s not obvious, my favorite painting technique). Also this time is the process of a very special (for me) painting. Not only because it was the first “serious” portrait in watercolor but because this is my grandfather (r.i.p). I did this portrait a few years after the death of my grandfather as a gift for my grandmother and although I didn’t know how it would came out , I can say that this drawing came out on it’s own, almost as if it was alive under my brush. Maybe it was the special affection carrying or. .. I don’t know. The fact is that this drawing is my favorite among all I’ve done throughout my life ….
As always, I expect your comments.
