    Portrait of my wife

    I have been working on using the watercolor brush to make skin-tones that blend evenly. In this piece, I also used an airbrush tool on the neck.

    I updated the image. When I printed it with my wide-carriage Canon, the gray hair was a little bit too blue, so, I worked on the hair to "brown it up a little bit" with the "soft pencil" tool.

    She's well preserved for a lady in her early fifties. She's really young at heart.
