Comments on: "Watercolor Wednesday" (53)
Wonderful, Elena. The texture on her skin is amazing, and she has so much personality.
What’s next?
The uncertainty of the future.
Love everything about her…especially that drip!
Hi, I love your art, I have been looking and looking at this, it’s just inspired. And has inspired me to go away and learn some proper watercolour techniques! Thank you x
Thanks so much!
Hi! i’m Simi an italian blogger, iìm a cook, i follow your blog,it’very beautiful! good sunday!
Thank you Simi! Much appreciated:) Enjoy the day!

Thank you Uday!
Profile works….that’s when they are most alert.
or completely taken off guard;)
Really?! then I must salute you
No salutations deserved-I’m sneaky with my camera, then transpose with brushes.
So lovely! Initially I felt this woman looked so strong. Then, as I looked at it longer, something about the look on her face reminded me of my grandma as she searched for things in the kitchen cabinets. An everyday moment captured.
Micah, pleased to know that you “read” this watercolor perfectly. Thank you:)
You capture that expression really well.
Thanks Sandee:)
very lovely
Thanks:)
The sum of EVERY brush stroke culminates in a wonderful character here in your painting of this lady Elena !
Thank so very much Poppy!
Oh wow Elena, I’m pulled right into her character – you are so effective in developing this with your brush. The dignity of knowing – love it.
Thanks so much Mary:)
Beautiful Elena! Nice brush strokes, and her expecting look seems to maintain the whole weight of her body! Just the same way as we look at your drawing! ; )
Much appreciated Palmira. Thank you!
A very powerful portrait.
Thanks very much Louis.

Thanks ever so much Marina:)
Wonderful depth given by the colors you’ve used 🙂
Thank you Allyson. I did not skimp on the color;)
Wonderful!
I love how you are able to capture the essence of a particular moment like that.
Thank you so much Sarah.
Grandma Jean! Love it!
Yes indeed:) Thank you!
I agree with all the above–what grace and dignity you’ve bestowed/revealed!
Much appreciated. Thank you!
Fabulous portrait Elena. There is so much character captured in this painting! Brilliant!
