This painting was also done for the Watercolor Workshop June projects. This 2nd project was to be a portrait in watercolor of a child (or anyone.) This painting of Ryan was done from a photo I took of him at my laptop computer 3 years ago, when he was 5 years old. The painting is 12" x 9" and is painted on 140 lb. Arches hot-pressed watercolor paper. Isn't he adorable? He still is - just older!

Ryan is more than adorable; he is soooo cute! Love how you painted this piece, Barb. Your work is always beautiful.
Such a beautiful painting.
I am particularly taken by the hands!!!
Love you!

Hello Barb:) Beautiful painting! Great job on the clothes and the shadows. Very nice!
Sherry - He is adorable - and he knows it. He can get most anything when he bats those big beautiful blue eyes. Thank you for your always wonderful comments!
Donna - his hands were difficult to paint - sort of different positions than I usually paint as he was intently using the touch pad. It always amazes me that these young children can adapt so quickly to the eye-hand coordination necessary to do this task.
Love you too - hope all is well with your back. We just found out this week that Rock has cancer of the right vocal cord - so send lots of prayer our way, dear friend!
Renate - I appreciate that you like the clothes - I worked hard on his sweat shirt - I was working on hot-pressed watercolor paper and it was difficult to control the shading the way I wanted.
I am glad you like it!
