Aunt Betty in Watercolor
This is my great Aunt Betty who is a very special and remarkable lady. She was in her 90's when this picture was painted and it is incredible that she just celebrated her 106th birthday!!!
Happy Birthday Aunt Betty!!! We Love You!!!!
Aunt Betty has amazing stories about her long career in Detroit as a floral designer and owner of a floral shop. I spoke with her today and she told me that she continues to work and help people. "I don't sit in a rocking chair and feel sorry for myself."
I asked her to comment on aging and she said: "If you can grow older gracefully and happy you will accomplish everything."
SEPIA WATERCOLOR PORTRAITS
 |
| 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. |

| This is a sepia portrait of my husband that I painted many years ago. The inner mat matches the sepia. |

Welcome to KraftyMax
In her own words she has a valuable message for all artists which is to spend your energies on what is a good fit for you.
"But, one thing I can say as a tip is that no matter which of the wonderful ideas you find in Crafting Success Books, find what you like and work it. Don’t try to do everything all the time, I tried and found out I had no time to bead. Now I work on what fits with me and I really work it and just check in with some of the others on occasion."
