Practicing


I love kids playing at the beach and I think every watercolorist  has painted one.  Just for that reason I have avoided painting kids on the beach.  Well, I was walking and saw this little girl.  Loved her pose with the arms extended and took a few pictures of her.  I knew the hair would be a challenge so I started there first.  For some reason the painting just came together AND I had two hands and two feet to do.  I love her hair.
