Limited Palette Study
I have been doing so much sketching with my Doc Martin Hydrus watercolors, I thought I might have forgotten how to paint. I found a charming reference photo in Wet Canvas Reference Library, and did this while watching Upstairs Downstairs last night.
The colors didn't scan too well, and Photoshop didn't warm it up as it is in real life, but I still sort of like it. In "real life," the skirt shimmers. She reminds me of my daughter-in-law, which makes it even better for me.

It is a lovely painting, the lady is just so relaxed, I like the atmosphere.
Hi Dee, thanks for visiting my blog.Your art work is terrific. I am going to take a longer look. Upstairs Downstairs, wow it's been years since i watched that. Great paintings.
Thanks, Cathy, for stopping by! Thank you for your nice compliment, as I think you do some beautiful work as well. Upstairs Downstairs is "forty years later, i.e., 1936. Interesting ... Love your forsythia!
