Portrait of Anna

This is a watercolor of my friend Anna.  I did a 15 minute sketch of her from life, and also snapped a quick photograph with a gray backdrop.   I used Winsor and Newton  half pan watercolors on a page from a 5.5" X 8.5" sketch book.   I worked on the painting portion about 2 hours. I used ideas about bright colors from Arne Westerman's book.  The window was also borrowed from his book.

ITNW1437 (Introduction to Internet) last blog

Dr. P:  I read all the student blogs, and noted that Ronald's blog seemed to be up to date.  I think I successfully posted a comment to Ronald's blog.  It seemed I had to go through several password attempts to get there, but I wanted to post one comment to one student blog.  I know it seems like these blogs are sort of in a vacuum.
In late Jan, I was supposed to provide links to two web sites of interest to the topic in my web page.  I posted a link to Arne Westerman's site, but did not post a link to a second site.  That link is for http://www.melstabin.com/index.html .   One of my earlier posts featured my attempt of one of his "how to" projects.
