Geisha Girls

22x15 watermedia of two Asian women I drew from dolls then added imaginary costumes and umbrellas painted a few years back.  I used gouache, watercolor, Caran D'Ache on 140 lb hot press paper.  Here's another one that I drew letters and numbers on the background, then added and subtracted areas and glazing over others.  When almost done I used color spots to punch up highlights of these two sweet girls.  This work is SOLD.

Geisha Dolls

15x22 gouache on hot press Lanaquarelle 140 lb, drawn yesterday in watercolor colored pencil and painted today.  I also dropped in several places watersoluble oil pastel.  These dolls were a part of an Asian display at a very large antique store and I got remarkable photos from which to paint.
