This is the continuation of the 2nd study of Sadie painted on an 1/8th sheet of watercolor paper. I failed with the straight watercolor so mixed the watercolor with gesso to get a little closer resemblance. The left thigh showing behind the right leg needs to be darkened and her fingers lengthened.
For your viewing pleasure here is a photo I took yesterday of some of the local strawberries I stemmed. Don't they look luscious. Today was the annual Strawberry Festival where they serve strawberries to several thousand people.

Those strawberries look soooooooo good! I can't believe how early you get fresh strawberries!!! (I just heard that a bad tornado ripped through Oklahoma. Are you okay in your area?)
Never say "failed" - it was a good learning experience, right? You "learned". ;-)
This Sadie is looking really good! I like how the neck looks much smaller now.
The tornado was very destructive, damaging many, many homes and other buildings. I haven't listened to the news this morning but it is my understanding that there were also a few deaths. I step-father's sister lives in Pitcher and she sat out the tornado in her home and survived it.
Thanks for the encouragement Deb. It still isn't Sadie as I made the depth of her head to wide (from front to back). It does look more like her though. I'm going to start a big of her and hope to work all the way through in staight transparent watercolor. Sandy suggested going larger so I am!
The three dimensional look of the arm is fabulous. EXCELLENT shading and color choices. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Sandy!
Great color, look and feel; your work on Sadie is very appealing.
Thank you Bob. I do appreciate the feedback!
