‘Celtic Dancer‘

This is a 9 x 12 watercolor on Ampersand aquabord (Claybord textured) museum series  panel.  It is finished with a spray varnish and framed like an oil painting.

The model was a pretty young girl at a local Celtic festival, complete with the ringlet curls all the dancers wore.

I recently saw watercolors on panel at the Easton Waterfowl Festival and wanted to give them a try.

Painting on the panel is unlike painting on paper or canvas and would take some getting used to.  I think I’ll stick to watercolor on paper and oil on canvas.
