Ethnic series sketch of Senegal West Africa wrestler by Gloria Poole of Missouri 1 Sept 2014 acrylic on 9x12 paper.
I put a gloss acrylic varnish over this painting because in the BBC photo the wrestler was glistening with sweat and water from the drinking bottle. But the gloss varnish [because it is very thick] smeared my signature in watercolor but it is my signature. I drew this in watercolor pencils first, so scroll down to see that . I draw first before painting 99% of the time, but sometimes I draw in graphite, or charcoal, or sepia, or ink. I erased my notes in pencil on the do-over except for the title because I thought about painting in a background, then decided not too.

| Preliminary drawing with watercolor pencils of ethnic series sketch Senegal West Africa wrestler, by Gloria Poole. I drew my version of a photo I saw in the BBC news yesterday, which was a great photo. I do not think I did justice to the photo. I do not attempt to exactly reproduce a private person as a general rule so I modify it some to make it different so it is more an artist's interpretation, instead of an exact likeness of a real, living, private person. |
