Sepia Watercolour Family Portrait From Old Photographs

A few years ago I bumped into a Primary School teacher, who taught me when I was 9/10 years old. Since then we have seen one another quite often at various functions and events. Recently She asked if I could help. Her family, apparently, had significant milestones in their lives approaching, and she wanted something to capture her grandchildren all together at that moment in time forever.  Having seen my artwork at several exhibitions, she asked if I would do a ‘Timeless’ portrait of them from photographs. The idea was for her to present the portrait as a surprise at a family event. She hasn’t brought it back, so, I assume it went down okay!!!

‘Brothers’

This Watercolour painting was to recreate an old black and white photograph which was quite damaged with age. Instead of painting in black and white I felt a warmer sepia tone would complement the scene much better. I was very happy with the outcome!
