Almost . . . In Despair . . .

In Despair . . . 


Have really got to like this square format for paintings, so tried it out recently on a couple of portraits in watercolour. This is named In Despair and is based on a ref with many thanks to Steve Evans. I do find this format gives even more focus into what's really important in the painting. The eyes . . . . The soul . . . . Your feelings . . .  


Almost . . . 

This one was painting just prior to "In Despair" and another ref thanks to Steve Evans.



Both paintings measure approx 20 x 20 cm and 34 x 34 cm Including Mount (Matt). Originals are without any words or large signatures, these are merely for display purposes. Both are available to purchase by contacting me at info@stephiebutler.com

Your use of color is incredible. I love to look long and hard at your portraits and I still don't know how you do it. How you get just the right shades and the right temperatures to bring out the soul of those children. It's awesome!

Hi Katherine....My apologies to you too for replying so late, it's been a busy time of late. Thank you so much for your lovely words. It really is a case of playing and trying different things. I notice a difference in my work when I free my mind and let go, take chances.
