study for illustration


6"x5"
watercolor on illustration board

Today I needed to work on some studies for a possible illustration job. I thought about doing it in oils but the client wants more detail than I usually put into my oil paintings. So my thought is to go with watercolor. Not being "a watercolorist", I am trying to find a way to work with the medium to get the kind of detail they are after and that looks good! I was pleased with this study. I did another one on watercolor paper rather than the illustration board and definitely was NOT impressed! I will explore this more tomorrow!
