Thẩm Thúy Hằng, Watercolour Drawing Pop Stars

Thẩm Thúy Hằng, (1940 -)
Thẩm Thúy Hằng is a Vietnamese actress. During the 1950s and 1960s, she was a star of the film industry in South Vietnam.
Part of my study.  The hair style echoes in Amy Winehouse 70 years later.. something timeless about it.  I think.

Wonderful Watercolour Drawing, Oriental Beauty of the 60'!

Billie Holiday, Watercolour Sketch Pop Stars

I put a tint of cold blue in the picture…after listening to Billie's "Blue Moon".. I love the gardenia in her hair in the moon light. I am learning to use the scan and the new Photos of Mac… my head is really spinning like the dancing of Fred and Ginger in "Cheek to cheek"! :-)

Celine Dion, Watercolour Sketch

I am struggling with the new photo app today.  I am a turtle on a steep learning curve.  I much prefer to be in the garden drawing plants.  Can't get the app to work so I look at the drawing file.  This image is one in a series ..  the look does haunt me a bit.

TEA FOR TWO, Watercolor Painting and Sketching Figures

With a brush I sketched and painted this small watercolor on the spot.  It was a scene in an 100 year old art club.  When the lady painters stopped and prepared a tea party, I grabbed an opportunity to record a lively and lovely scene.  It took about 15 minutes.  Because I thought I would not see such a beautiful setting again.  I raced.  My heart was pumping as my hand was moving real fast.  When I finished, I was in a bit of shock.  The face expression, the warm and liveliness I wished to have were there.  This painting stayed as my favorite since.
