On this water color I changed the hair a lot after the model session.
I waste a lot of money when buying materials. Its just an personal obsession – I can’t stop myself from always getting the most expensive option there is. In retrospect it payed off though (at least in that case) – erasing colors like this can only work with quality paper. You want to be able to add a lot of water, rub it with brushes and scratch around on it without damaging the paper itself. It’s 300g Arches paper hot pressed. It never let me down so far.

Well, if the results of your obsession to get the most expensive options are always like this then I would really like to see what will happen if you turn ithis into compulsive obsessive!
Heh, thank you. But please don’t encourage me on my way to financial ruin ;)
My reader always fails to tell me when you’ve updated your blog darn it!
But yea, it’s the results that matter! This portrait worked out great, can’t believe the skin tones!
:/
Could you let me know what reader you use and how you subscribed? I want to repair this if possible. The feed works fine for me.
You can also use the “facebook like” – it does automatic updates. Although it might be double sometimes with my profile.
