I think I might be done with these back-of-a-business-card portraits. They’re so fun, though, and I have SO many left (business cards). Anyway, here’s Randy. Oh, and they still don’t know… shhhhh…
Watercolor on the back of one of my old business cards
Still on the back of business cards (and, boy!, do I have a bunch of those left)… Our son in his Robin costume.
Owen: watercolor on the back of my business card
And now… Steve. Yes, it does appear as if the whole crew will be subjects.
Day 4… Kurt. Looks like I’m gonna end up painting the whole crew. Hope they don’t find out. 🙂
Day 3 of painting quick portraits on the back of a business card. Boy, these are fun! Meet Terry.
Carl (last post) was so fun, I thought it would be neat to draw the rest of the crew at work. My job title changed a few months ago and I’ve been holding on to my old business cards ever since. I didn’t want to throw them away, although I should have. Such a hoarder! 🙂 Anyway, now I’ve got at least a hundred little canvases (or should that be canvii?). Best get to work. Here’s Faye.
A salesman cold-called me yesterday and gave me his business card. I dislike cold-calls. I was just about to toss the card when I thought I might be able to use it some other way. I flipped it over, and just before the end of my day at work, I did a 5-minute sketch of Carl (dude here at work). Who knew the backs of business cards would take watercolor so well?
