Carolyn and Carl

A speed painting for sure!  This was a gift for my friends wedding.   I was pretty happy to paint at all at 6 months pregnant and still feeling pretty sick.  The skin tones only had one pass but I was still pretty happy with the result.

The Kiss

I decided to expiriment with gouache.  I chose a wedding photo from a friends wedding that I had wanted to paint for some time. Instead of approaching it like watercolor I used them like acrylic paint.  It made a big difference in the results. I'm excited to have a new medium to add to my favorites!
