The subject that every amateur attacks (easily available and don’t moan when you ask them to sit still for more than five minutes).
Fabriano hot press watercolour paper, Winsor and Newton Gouache, about five inches square.
I haven’t painted anything other than digitally for some years, and most of what I have done has been pattern based rather than (attempting) realistic subjects. I am frightfully rusty and my drawing skills are definitely not what they were when I was a teenager. Combination of wearing multifocal lenses and arthritic hands! C&C welcome. I know it looks vaguely roselike, but doesn’t capture the soft back light from the original reference photo (one of my own)-the drawing wasn’t accurate enough and that makes the painting harder.
