Twins

My oldest daughter has three boys, these are her twins. I want to learn portraits - the loose watery kind which scare the heck out of me - but unless I practice I will never learn anything - This sketch is from a picture (obviously, as they do not pose at one year of age.) Bits are actually representative but then, not enough to really be a portrait - and the watercolor is just scary. I hope one day to look back at this and feel a sense of improvement.

bsolutely fantastic first effort Sandy, seriously...I don't think you'll be waiting long to see improvements, you obviously grasp portraiture very well.

This is lovely, and so precious to look back on in years to come. I think paintings contain so much more than photos.
