| Sepia is a rich dark brown, grayish color and it creates a classic look in portrait painting. I have added sepia to my watercolor palette. These are my first steps in painting in light values of sepia. This portrait will be painted in sepia only, using a range of values. |

| The supplies for this portrait are very simple and include 1 tube of sepia watercolor by Winsor Newton and a pencil. The beautiful ceramic mug that is holding my watercolor brushes is by one of my favorite Michigan artists, Sue Bolt, http://www.suebolt.com . Sue, her husband Russ, and their daughter Lori are exceptional artists from Charlevoix, Michigan. |
