EDM Challenge #79: More Ears

 

When this challenge was announced, I sketched an ear in pencil because I lacked the skills to paint it in watercolor.  Then I decided to take photos of each of my grandchildren and practice.  The ear on the left is Robbies and it was painted in a Super Aquabee.  The two on the right were painted in a Moleskine watercolor journal.  It is definitely easier to scan the Moleskine.  I used alizarin crimson, winsor lemon, burnt umber and Payne's gray.

Shirley, these painted ears are great! It's neat to see something we can't see on ourselves and how we interpret the ears of others around us. I think you did a great job of getting the skin tones, too.
