A sudden feeling hit me, while cleaning the edges of a glaze. How uncanny, the suddenness I mean, and relief – it’s worked well enough.
It’s finished!
Oh, what am I talking about; the Angelica painting. I’ll take a photo tomorrow and upload soon after.
Next some portraiture, but I don’t like posting them on here.

I’m painting daily of late, playing with watercolours and finding it
rather fun. It’s a surprisingly precise medium despite all of the
blobby washed puddles that many artists work with. I’m using it for
portraits, something I am honing about now.
I’m getting there too.
The
route through works like this: do portrait sketches a few times to
discover the "issues"- the things that can go awry. Play with the
details in close-ups, as well as drawing from memory, this serves as a
warning. By now, you get to know where erronious elements can creep in.
Sketch it again in colour several times working away from the
dependence on tone until you understand the colour.
Only then, draw it up onto the canvas.
