Classy Lassie in Watercolor

 This piece is from a tutorial by Karen Campbell for Awesome Art School. I drew "Classy Lassie," by eye, while following Karen's directions using a Graphgear 1000 Pentel Pencil on Fabriano 140 lb. hot press paper. After I drew the girl, I drew the wall of apartments in the background. I used a blending stump on the buildings for shading.

I used Prisma watercolor paint doings parts of each each at a time. When the paint on the girl was dry, I used a Altenew gold gel pen for decorative details. I tried a sponge with watercolors for plants on a balcony. Decided not to do more with that, so I added plants on the background with watercolor and a brush. When the piece was dry I added a bit of Molow Blackliner for more depth.

"Classy Lassie," came out pretty good for something, I wasn't sure I was into doing!
