Alec - just a portrait

Melissa

Another girl's portrait... For Melissa I did 2 portraits, one for her, one for me. I give her the choice and this is the portrait I still have (I would have chose it myself...)

This is a 9" x 12" acrylic ink & watercolor on Strathmore watercolor paper, 300 g, and if interested just email me and I give you all the details.

May in September...

Even if these days were beautiful late summer days - probably not many left - the title is referring to something more simpler...

This beautiful young lady is May (or Mai)...

I've painted her on a 9" x 12" Strathmore watercolor paper, with acrylic ink and watercolors... And since today was a special day (I've received a grant from the big city of Sherbrooke exactly for a project of mine - already started - called "People of Sherbrooke") and May a very nice young lady (I reapeat it but she really was nice, twice as the usual) I gave her the "masterpiece"...

Beautiful weather for portraits...

There is a close connection between the weather and my portraits: since I work them in the parks of the city I depend on beautiful weather to get models... these days the weather is quite fine, here, in Sherbrooke, almost summertime...

This is one portrait I'm proud of. I don't know exactly why, but I like it.

9" x 12" watercolor and some acrylic ink on Strathmore 300 g/140 lbs. watercolor paper.
I'll keep this one for my personal collection...

Rodrigue, the Cid

Another portrait - this time a bit older (the watercolor as well as the model) of a Sherbrooke inhabitant. An ex-professor at the University, it seems, a very picturesque figure I intitled "Rodrigue, the Cid" in honor of Charlton Heston's movie "The Cid" because the whole portrait had something, let say, "heroic"... Maybe more of a Don Quixotte but still nice...

9" x 12" acrylic ink & watercolor on Fabriano 300 g watercolor paper. Email me if you like this very, very much...

Melanie

That's one of the things I did last summer - in fact, a few days ago...

As usual, a 9" x 12" acrylic & watercolor on Strathmore acid free paper (300 g) and, also as usual, if interested, give me an email... I promise not to skin you alive...

Chloé

Poetic name, interesting face! Another of my "in the park portrait"... I spend on it probably between 35 and 45 minutes (maybe less... sometimes it depends on the time the "model" has).In a good day, I can make between 5 - 7-8 portraits... 2-3 are usually quite good, some reasonable good and one or two bad straight out...

This one is a 9" x 12" (I'm using pretty much the same format; some day, I hope, I'll be able to paint big, big canvases...) and, as usual, an acrylic ink & watercolor on Fabriano 300 g watercolor paper. Contact me if you like it so much as to spend some money on it...
