A watercolor portrait

Portrait, watercolor 11" x 15"

 Back to watercolor for an attempt at a portrait from a photo. While the proportions and features are more or less correct, the expression evaded me. So, no name. But I'm not unhappy with the result.

The Lake

The Lake, acrylic 25 x 20 cm

Palette knife and three colors plus white. Used cobalt instead of ultramarine for a better water color and brighter greens.

The Sugar Maple

The Sugar Maple, acrylic 12" x 9"

I love how in the autumn some sugar maples have half of the rainbow of colors at the same time, from dark through chartreuse green, yellow, orange and bright red. Like a whole forest in just one tree.

This is another attempt with palette knife and reduced palette, though I did add cadmium red too.
