Step by Step Watercolor Painting of Two Girls

I thought I would share the step by step process of the watercolor painting I did of two girls recently.  I started out with doing a detailed pencil sketch.

I then added a watercolor wash of amazonite genuine to both the skin tone areas and the background.  On the background I added salt.  I let the salt dry and then brushed it off.

I then started to add some shading with raw umber.

After the first layer of raw umber was dry I added a second layer of shading with raw umber.

I then used burnt sienna to start to add some details and a bit more shading.  I love using layers of watercolors in my paintings.

After that was dry I added more burnt sienna and some rose madder.

I added more rose madder and used quinacridone purple for the dresses.  I used salt for the dresses.

I used brilliant orange and cerulean blue for the hair.

I continued shading the painting with amazonite genuine, burnt sienna, paynes grey, and ultramarine blue.

I added a final layer of brilliant orange and paynes grey to the hair and last but not least, my signature.
