Weekend Watercolor Painting

 

 

Little Boy in the Swing

Hello everyone!

I wanted to share to all how special this illustration to me.

I was really challenged in using watercolor as a medium. I had to push myself because I wanted this done. I promised myself that I would do an illustration for the little girl who got accidentally hit with the iron swing on the back of her head!

She randomly ran below me when I was swaying the swing high.  I had to instantly jump off the swing on mid-air.  I thought I might had cracked her skull or anything.  I panicked for a sec. I could clearly recall her tearful agony. I could survive  her mother's deep blaming stare but not of those helpless child's look. I was really sorry even I did not mean to.

Wheew! So, there it goes. I had to, definitely, do one illustration for that experience.

Despite that, I had to decided to use a little boy in the illustration because I used a little boy's photo as a reference. I thank my friend for that photo which he took on that day. XD

Here's an image of my painting. I hope you like it! Thanks for visiting again.

 

I was so much dedicated to this illustration. I did many version of it. I did 2 pencil studies before I got to step on the watercoloring stage. Then, after I finished my painting. I decided to ink one of the sketches I did. XD

Here it is:
