50 minutes painting for @aligator_watercolor_community 50th painting challenge.

This was a very special experiment and I had to focus on the few parts that brought the portrait to life. It was a very exciting and instructive process.

BTW the cute model is my neighbor girl Lena and we love to paint together.

This time I've used the vibrancy of QOR watercolor pigments and I love them a lot. The paper isn't really my thing, too smooth
but great for learning.

I feel abstract and need some free open sky and much space to breathe and be. So I paint myself there.

That’s my first attempt #monetmania inspired by @jeanhaines newest tutorial at #jeanhainesonlineartschool .. really a little bit scary to work without any primary drawing. But as a warm-up exercise absolutely perfect and I hope that my next results will be better.

I‘m unsure if it is really finished 🤨 I have a bit of struggle with her skin on the arms and legs. The rough paper does not allow a soft lifting and blending… and so I declare it for art and ready 😂😅😂😅 . . Inspired by a license-acquired photo from Adobe Stock DATEI-NR.: 89697754. I have discovered this image and I loved it at first sight and know, I must paint it. It was a little bit complicated because I had to buy first a license and it isn't allowed to sell this image. But none of that frightened me and I really enjoyed working on this wonderfully happy and optimistic motif.

Sweet plums are one of my favorite autumn fruits and I love to paint them. So I have done one Ampersand Aquabord and I love this surface for still lifes.
