Portraits in Sepia Watercolour
Watercolour is the ideal medium
to capture the fleeting
delight of childhood,
to preserve your memories ,
and to create an heirloom that will be treasured by your children's children.
This is a portrait of Shea, a charming boy who loves horses. It was painted in sepia watercolour on 22" X 30" Bockinford paper in Nov, 2005, in Bahrain.

Seana has developed her signature approach to watercolour portraiture, using only one or two shades of brown. These tonal studies evoke a nostalgic quality with resonance of Victorian photographs. She likes to work from her own photographs, ofter catching a fleeting glance or characteristic gesture that would be impossible to capture in a formal studio sitting. Taking the photographs is an essential part of the creative process, giving Seana an opportunity to get to know the sitter a bit, and to always accentuate the positive! This makes it an ideal medium for children's portraits.
