Catching Snow Watercolor

[Charlie Eve Ryan]

Great job, Rob...really nice work. I love the challenge too, go for it!!

[Leontine]

@Rob-Smith I will accept your challenge as well. What is it?

[Rob Smith]

I went back and did a completely new sketch and then a new painting for "Catching Snow". The final image is a combination of traditional and digital watercolor. More traditional then digital.

Eyes open or closed?

I love the color so much and the character as well. I prefer eyes close but if you want them open I think you might want a little white dot or sparkling in her eyes.

[Dan Tavis]

I prefer the eyes closed, because she has her eyes open then seems to be paying more attention to the viewer rather than enjoying the moment in the snow. Awesome job!

I too prefer the eyes closed and I really like the colors in these. One minor thing that I noticed was her chin seems a little long, you might want to lower her facial features a tad to make her look more child-like.

[Rob Smith]

@joanie-stone Thanks for your suggestions. That seems to be a trend with me. Here is a the revised image with the facial features set a little lower on the head.

[Dan Tavis]

Nice! Beautiful colors by the way. I use M.Graham watercolors as well awesome paints

[Leontine]

[Rich Green]

@Rob-Smith I always really enjoy your colors - it adds so much fun, interest and joy to your artwork!

[Rob Smith]

I recently went back and re-visited the original painting/idea. I made some changes digitally to the image and renamed it "Its Snowing".

[Bobby Aquitania]

Great pieces all, on the this last one, maybe change the sunflower to something more Xmas-sie? A star, reindeer, or candy cane? The green contrast makes me think this is the first snow, maybe a light blue glaze on top would show the weather transition more?

@Bobby-Aquitania Thanks for the suggestion!
