The Essence of Morgan in Watercolor

People have often asked me “how do you create a portrait”?

My response is so sad, I don’t really know! When I start a painting I start working on the eyes, nose and tongue. Once I start those something happens and I become immersed in the painting and it just happens. I decided I should see for myself, how a painting does really happen. I started taking photos of each step, if I could remember to take the photo. Sometimes I would be through a step or two and all of a sudden remember I needed to take a picture. So the following photos were the best I could do to give you the step by step procedure I use to create the essence of a pet portrait.
