Watercolor sketch

(C) 2016 Dale DiMauro

Recently, I purchased this multi-media sketchbook, at a local Michael's, with my fifty percent off coupon. The end result is that for eleven dollars I hope to be able to develop my portrait skills as I fill this book with all kinds of drawings and paintings.

I value these kind of sketchbooks in the winter months when there is more time to record places and people that I see as well as the natural color and light on the land.

This is a pencil sketch turned into a simple watercolor with minimal washes. I like how the intensity of the gaze and colors flow off the paper. I found the paper did not buckle as often is the case with sketchbooks, thus it was a huge benefit.
