Japanese Selfie Valentines

8.5x5.5 ink and watercolor on Bienfang for mixed media sketchbook done today; no pencil used only black Tombow brush pen putting in the darks first.  With these two lovebird couples taking selfies with a pink phone it is perfect for a valentine of sweethearts.  I only colored the floral dress of the girl holding the phone, the hair flower and middle wrap of the one in white.  A script liner #1 brush used with water to bring black out to make grey for a three value piece.  The photo is courtesy Dewi of WetCanvas and will be featured on this month's Watermedia challenge.

Shoppers

15x22 gouache on hot press paper 140 lb, an exercise in painting female figures with all their heads on the same plane.  This was using only one model so I've made them all different as far as dress and hairstyles.
