So I couldn’t resist taking part and enjoy the whole process very much.

Is it reckless? Maybe. But what does dreams know of boundaries?”

SKTCHY ARTSCHOOL watercolor #30faces30days. Still jumping through the challenge. Another painting of Gina’s precious daughter for Day 23, this time painting along with @ginahaweswatercolors herself  and a lot of inspiration from @jennybarnes. So much learned during this portrait challenge, it's so great to see other artists working.
