Chasing Bubbles

O                                                                    

 I was attempting a picture of Josie from a photo and was reasonably pleased with how the face was coming. I left it unfinished to work on the bubbles and disaster struck. The more I tried to.make them look like bubbles, the more they didn't. 


 So I went online and found a tutorial on watercolor bubbles
 Voila! Evidently I'd been going about it all wrong. So I've been practicing.                                             

 Eventually I'll have another go at a second picture of Josie and the bubbles. Right now, I'm having fun practicing

Painting anything transparent must be difficult. I've seen some stunning paintings of glass vases, don't know how they manage to do them.

When watercolors do things with water, reflections, etc...I tip my hat to the artists! Such difficult planning to keep the highlights in the white of paper...and bleed the colors elsewhere! Kudos to you Vicki... the last ones are very good IMHO.

You captured Josie very well.

They make nice enough images on their own.

Good likeness of Josie.
Do you still have use of Messenger, or has FB cut you out of that too?
