Mitch

Mitch

Meet Mitch, my husband.

Today I decided I’d try my hand at doing a portrait watercolor painting, and feel rather satisfied with my first attempt. This, of course, is not counting the one I did of Mitch fishing since there is not much as much detail in his face.

    I think that some guys can wear pink and get away with it,
    mind you it is definitely not a colour that I would choose 😦

    This is a brilliant portrait Deb, well done you 🙂

    • Look at the reference photo, Andro…he’s wearing burgundy.
      I was going with a rather light pallet when I painted him.

        Yes but he still looks fine in pink, this is a positive thought my great friend, burgundy or pink it is a colour that suits if you know what I mean? 🙂 Have a lovely day today Deb, here it is raining again but hey it is the UK 🙂 lol

    • Thanks Bo!

      Hey, Bo, how’s the connection and internet speed working out with it?
      Hugs xx

      • So far the connection has been great (and Gatorhead is a in a dead zone for most things…ask Phil and Chester) and the speed is only a little slower than the high speed dsl I use at my friend’s house.

        • That great, Bo! Connection reliability and speed are so important! So does this mean you can use a device larger than your phone now to get on the internet too?!

          Reply
          • I have two laptops and I could log on to this MiFi with up to 5 devices. My next major purchase will be an ipod so I can at least check things on the net while I am in Dr.s waitin’ rooms etc. No more down time. (Right now an Ipad is pretty much out of the question.)

            • That’s wonderful, Bo! Now we can all enjoy seeing more of you, my friend! You enjoy yourself now…I’m sure you are! Hugs xx

    That’s quite good. Portraits are always difficult, and I think they’d be even more so in watercolors.

  15. Hi Deb
    After comparing your painting to Mitch..
    I’d say you’ve done a pretty good job mate!

    Do you know Deb .. the warmth that I felt from your previous painting, the small beach house
    has stayed with me 🙂 thanks x

    • Thank you, Gary, and for checking the reference photo too! 🙂

      Really, Gary, I had no idea it could leave an impression like that with you. Thank you for sharing those thoughts with me.
      I’m going to miss summer.
      Thanks for such a kind comment, Gary! Hugs xx

  19. Awww you know I love portraits! 🙂 And I think this one is beautiful, Deb. It’s cool to “meet” Mitch. 🙂

    • That means a lot coming from you, Cha. You are the queen or watercolor portrait painting. If you got any tips for me, please don’t ever hesitate to share them with me. 🙂 xx

  20. Hey… that looks a lot like Mitch! 😉
    Very nicely done, Deb!!!
    🙂

    • Also that wink was supposed to mean that I recognized who you had painted before I read your description about who you had painted…
      but after I posted this I was afraid it might read like I was implying it does not look like Mitch, which, of course it does… SO…
      wow! I’ve tired myself out! I think I need a nap!
      🙂
