I worked on a sheet of Yupo, a synthetic paper, to do this watercolor. The sheet was primed with a thin coat of gesso, which allowed a little more control in applying washes.
We made a quick trip to Portland last weekend to spend time with our two month old grandson Grayson and his family. Here he is, putting on the charm. Is he a cutie, or what?

Quite wonderful; looks like you're changing the Yupo game, Don!
Love this reflective pitcher and in watercolor, none the less! I have a heart for painting reflective silver and this is right up my alley! Great job!
the pitcher is quite wonderful! the light the shadows, they hold the eye.
and your grandson is more than cute... you gonna paint him?
ps i notice you did not put him up for sale;)
Grayson's expression makes me think you told him a joke. He's super cute!
Hi Don,
No doubt about it--he's cute as a button and what a great smile for Grandpa!
Great painting, too. Can't forget about that with all the baby cuteness.
Sincerely,
Gary.
Grayson is an absolute delight - and the painting is unbelievable. Watercolour you say? I can't get it!
Thanks a lot, David!
Thanks, Amy and welcome to the blog. I took a look at your lovely paintings--many shiny, beautiful things!
Thanks a lot, Rahina. I did a drawing of Grayson awhile back--no doubt a painting will follow. And no, I didn't put him up for sale! We'd have to have an offer well up in the six figures before we'd even consider it. :^)
He's pretty easy to coax a smile from, Silvina...such a doll. Glad you're back blogging--you were missed!
Hi Gary--thanks. You'll always be on my good side if you say nice things about my grandson. :^) Yes, I do want to paint him.
Sheila, you're very kind--thanks!
Really cool guy, Don! He 'll make his way! How you paint, looking watercolour as oil! Amazing...
How are you doing, Rudhi? Thanks for the encouragement!
