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.
