Linda & Sabrina

Watercolor portrait of Linda and Sabrina.
tlbtlb.com tlbimages: Linda & Sabrina final
This 11x14" portrait is printed on Hawk Mountain Art Papers paper on an Epson 4000 using a custom paper profile created by Cathy's Profiles.
Below are close-ups from the portrait:

tlbtlb.com tlbimages: Sketch of Sabrina
I was very pleased how the sketch of Sabrina turned out so I did a little bit of additional work on it in Photoshop by duplicating the layer, using Gaussian Blur (1.5) on the duplicated layer and then reducing the opacity of that layer to 75%. I then did a Merge Visible to a new layer and used a Channel Mixer Adjustment Layer (blue channel at 100%) to convert the image to greyscale. I then added a border by creating a path around the image, stroking the path with the zigzag brush and then added an inner shadow layer style. The image is about 5x7" and will be printed on an 8x10 sheet of Hawk Mountain Art Papers paper on my Epson 4000 using a custom paper profile created by Cathy's Profiles.
Below is the original photograph taken by JC Dill, an excellent photographer.

This is the final working image. In Photoshop, I took JC's image and made a color/exposure modification and cropped and resized the image. I removed the lead rope clip because I thought it was a bit distracting given it's position and I opened up Linda's eyes just a tad.
