two paintings

I did these quickly in class yesterday because I was too frustrated with the "circles". I don't know how to finish the one of Colette, I don't really want to do the background that is in the photo (a carseat) so I was thinking of just doing dark...nothing. I used hotpress paper which is notoriously hard to control and is better suited for really free water+color. The other excuse is that the mother+child painting is originally in oils so it is hard to transfer that to watercolor. Still I like drawing and I like details, sort of. So if there is a picture out there that you want me to do let me know and I will try to oblige. XO
