Watercolor Studies

Throughout the year, I do referenced watercolor studies to keep my skills up.  While it is not necessary to be a proficient watercolorist to paint watercolor comics like 7" Kara, I find it helpful, relaxing, and useful to refute naysayers who cast aspersions as to my abilities.

These were painted using waterbrushes, Kuretake's pocket set, and Fabriano Artistico watercolor paper.  These studies were painted from life.
