  • OK, we got the scanner going. 


    Please excuse the poor quality of these scans, I'm not going to mention the software package, but I will say I can't wait until my iMac and related software (PhotoShop) arrive.


    These are watercolour on postcard sized watercolour paper and will be posted out to other artists who have joined in on the watercolour postcard project on the painting/critique site.


    I have entitled the series 'Many Faces' (you'll see why)... they were inspired by a book I've just finished reading 'Memoirs of a Geisha' - in it they described how the Geisha would apply make-up in different ways to highlight/downplay different sections of their faces to portray particular emotions, or invoke emotions/feelings, however in my paintings I haven't used only the face of a Geisha.


    So far I have a series of six, here are the first two.



    Many Faces 01



    Many Faces 02


    Please, be gentle - I've already confessed at being overwhelmingly average with watercolour.
