"RO" This Morning in Black




“RO” This Morning in Black
My attempt this morning to paint her in the pose she provided for a session with Independent Painters Group.
18”x 24” watercolor on cold press

  1. Classic, little shadows under her eyes, slightly tired, she keeps her pose

    1. If I had been doing the painting for “RO” rather than for accuracy, I would have reduced the shadows. She’s getting older too☺ She looks much younger in previous paintings I have done of her.

  2. I have always found black to be a difficult colour to paint...but you have captured it's depth brilliantly.
    The way her dress shimmers, I assume it is satin?
    For me, she is hosting a dinner party...and is awaiting the first guest's arrival...:)

    1. Burnt Umber and aqua marine blue works okay.
      I’m sure the party will be a success. She’s such an elegant lady☺
