I’m working hard at a more minimal approach to watercolour, trying for a “less is more” result. I’m so happy with this portrait of Haley because this is close to what I want. There’s none of the horrible overworking I’ve been guilty of a lot recently. I feel like I’m getting better at gauging when to stop, though I think I could (should) have added a last layer of yellow tone here.
I painted this is my Laloran sketchbook with Zecchi Toscana watercolours and finished it with Prismacolor coloured pencils.

I love drawing things. These days I am rarely found without a pen, pencil or stylus in my hands. In my working life I spend a lot of time in meetings and classrooms, reading papers and strategies, so my home life provides a creative antidote to all that! I also have chronic pain, lots of it. I have scoliosis, fibromyalgia and CRPS, so my life is a balancing act, trying to balance work, which make me feel part of the real world, with pain, which is ever present, and art, which soothes my pain.
