| Katie & Alex Finally a real posting! This is a commission I did for a very good friend of mine. She's giving it as a Christmas gift. As a matter of fact she commissioned this same piece last year for a Christmas gift to another person. This made it very interesting and yet again another learning experience. I usually write down all the colors I used. Even pencil lead softness. Guess what I didn't do the first time? Luckily I had a digital pic on file and could match things up. Next, I usually keep the initial drawing I do that is used to transfer on to the watercolor paper. (you don't sketch on the watercolor paper. make your mistakes on the initial drawing) Guess what I didn't keep? Next make sure I don't change anything up too much, no artistic license. I figure if she liked the first one enough to reorder don't change a thing. All in all I think they are the same. As a matter of fact I think this one is a little better since I had practice on the first. Now off to mail it. |

Wow -- You sure made it work. Sometimes it's almost a blessing in disguise when we don't do what we think we did do to stay organized. You had to go back and completely re-create this piece and just look at it. This couple's personality just shines through. I would LOVE to know these people. They look so kind and fun! Great job!
