Watercolor class Tuesday 10-2: with another good critique on where this painting stood, I was able to finish it off. I was thinking about a strong border as part of the painting so was glad when it was suggested.
Finished!
The blue outside the strong border is part of the painting.
Watercolor on Yupo, 16" x 20"
I used an unfinished figure drawing as the basis for this painting. It worked so well and was so much fun, I picked out another unfinished figure drawing for a second one which will be on another sheet of Yupo (also about 16" x 20").
You'll have to check in tomorrow to see the start of the new one, which I'm calling "Fem."

That. Is. So. Cool!!
The lines really do add a lot.
Congratulations on a great image!!
This does look finished well with that border. I like the flowing figure Minerva set amidst the geometrical shapes and the border. Looking forward to the next one!
How neat to use your figure drawing as a basis for the painting. I like the way you finished the painting.
Love it, Rhonda! Especially the border and the background and like Ann said, how cool to use your figure drawing as a basis for this!!! And on yupo at that!!! Wow!
Thanks so much, Nava, Susan, Deb and Ann! I'm thinking, on Sandy's suggestion, of trying to get this one in a juried show this fall. Of course, by then, I'll have another dozen others painted I like better!
