WIP - In the Swim of Things

 


Using a photo to paint in watercolor - with permission.  I have miles to go.  
I chose to paint this
because of all the lovely water swirls above the figure.
The figure has crazy foreshortening as it comes toward the camera and
I feel the water distortion has something to do with
that foreshortening, as well.
It looked challenging - and it definitely IS!
Using 8" x 8" Ampersand board treated with housepaint 
and Qor watercolor ground.
