Description
And this is the reason I was practicing painting.I made this for the contest with the theme "Hello" but, more importantly, it is the first major painting I have done with watercolors in years. I am so pleased with how it came out.
The characters are Beau, a WWI medic belonging too and his fiance, Emery, an ambulance driver with the VAD
I deliberately used the dirty water instead of the clean to mix some of the colors to give them a gritter tone.
I also mixed about a vat of olive drab. guess I am gonna have to paint more doughboys this week.

Aw, look, tis Emmy and Beau. Aren't they cute together? Yes Beau, stop looking so depressed and shell shocked. Your girlfriend is smiling at you. Work up a slightly less lost and blank expression if you can, hm?
It is a nice job on the painting, especially with making Beau's uniform look sufficiently dirty and blood stained.
At least olive drab is a pretty easy color to mix? And it's always better to have too much than too little, right?

well the beauty of working in water color and not acrylics is that I can use it again, as long as I don't wait too long. I better draw some more dough boys. Not sure how you manage somehow!
I do feel awfully sorry for him. I am glad i did well on the uniform.
Thanks so much for all your lovely, lovely comments. You leave the best ones.

Wow!! This is so amazing! I love how clean it is, and your painting is superb! Their expressions speak volumes about how they must be feeling. It's really a wonderful piece. I think this is my favourite of your works so far! Stunning
