This is another painting on yellow legal pad paper. This time I sketched a face out in pencil and then added the watercolor over top. This add a nice linear quality to contrast with the more organic brush strokes. The pencil also adds some detail--it makes the entire piece appear to be rendered more tightly, though the paint itself is less rendered. Originally I was going to cut this piece up, like I have been doing with my other pieces lately; but I founds this piece engaging enough on its own, and I did not want to loose that by cutting it up.

I enjoy seeing the entire image. I feel that it is stronger now than when you cut it up.
