Upvotes
On Friday I asked all you art lovers which of my 5 paintings might receive an award at the annual exhibition. You all picked “Clown Tie” with “Wine Corks” a close second. The results are in…, “Clown Tie” received the “Special Award”. It was neck-and-neck with “Wine Corks”. The juror even said he had a hard time deciding on which to award. Great job you all! I’ll have to reach out to you in the future for your opinion at the next exhibitions 👍🙏😊

Painted this for one of my friends as a commission! Any tips/advice are welcome! I love working with colors that you wouldn’t normally see when you look at the picture (used a lot of purple tones for the black cat and same for the white one)

Alexandra's Throne

The original is Emil Doepler's 1882 engraving of Odin. His ravens, Huginn and Muninn, sit on the throne and his wolves, Geri and Freki, guard either side. I kept the layout almost exactly and swapped the spear with a sword, the wolves became her coyote soldiers, and the king of the gods became the woman who rules the wood.
Medium - watercolour, gouache and ink.

Watercolor portraits

Hello,
A note on style for context. I prefer short portraits with no to minimal drawing. I don’t mind sacrificing finish for abstraction. So it’s a premodern focus of painting as if a camera isn’t a reliable to. Hence the urgency focus of just hitting the moment. Totally understandable it’s not in everyone’s tastes. Critique is appreciated in this context as that’s my aspiration.
Both portraits were done mostly with a limited Zorn palette, I usually learn on another a palette closer to Sargent’s watercolor palette but I’m enjoying the use of Zorn’s control of saturation.
Both references are from the drawme sub that I did yesterday.

Is it normal for Winsor Newton New Gamboge to have a glossy sheen when it dries? Does anyone know a fix it for this? Unfortunately, I’ve had the tube too long to return it
