Here's a portrait of the great accordion player John Whelan, painted in sepia watercolor by the light of a neon beer sign at Mary Kate's pub in Mahopac, New York.
Wonderful little study. Whelan has provided the soundtrack for many moments in my life, including working in the studio. I hope he's doing OK, I seem to recall he had some health issues. I notice this portrait was done a while back.
Did you use sepia watercolor pencil with waterbrush, or actual sepia watercolor?
You've indicated the medium and the source of the light. No mention as to how motivated that light was, or whether any of the beer found its way into the artist before, during, or after the painting...

Off topic. Have you seen Avatar? The way natives chose their flying beast its suspiciusly similar to the way skybax do...
ReplyDeleteSteve, this was painted in a watercolor paper book with a regular cake watercolor set, using the sepia, with water in a film can.
ReplyDeleteChristian, I'm looking forward to seeing it.
Anyone else watching Dinotopia today. Its on the Sci Fi channel until 2pm. I'm watching it now and enjoying it.
