A further portrait painting on Yasutomo mineral paper, I like this tricky surface very much, which pushes me to paint more loose and spontaneous. The portrait too is inspired by a photo reference on ©MuseumbySKTCHY.

is my submission for Ali Cavanaugh's Patreon challenge #41 other side of you - Art Class of Ali Cavanaugh. Done on painting board primed with Qor Watercolor ground. The result is a very smooth surface, not so easy to handle but you can remove nearly any pigments from it. These challenges are amazing and help me coming out of my comfort zone and stretching my skills. I'm so very happy to be a part of this wonderful group. 

I've lost after 17 wonderful years my beloved Xenia last Friday and I'm really heartbroken. Our furry friends are part of our family and it's not easy to let them go. But painting this double portrait helps
