Painting Of Boys Playing Baseball
Sometimes the best sports action takes place on the bench where sportsmanship, character and friendships develop. A sympathetic friend who will stand by your side can mean more than winning the game. Even though they are losing their baseball game, the three boys pictured in this watercolor painting seem to be winners all around. Although it is meant to be fun, little league baseball can get very competitive and sometimes intimidating to inexperienced younger children. A good coach and understanding parents who offer encouragement can go a long way to building confidence and life skills.
I painted the impressionistic background of this watercolor painting using a wet-on-wet technique by strategically dropping greens and blues onto wet Arches 300 lb. aquarelle paper to represent distant foliage found surrounding most baseball parks across the country. The details of the boys were painted on drier paper with a dry brush method in order to have better control over the outcome.

Though the style is very different, the composition and subject matter here are so reminiscent of Norman Rockwell and you've created the same kind of homey, nostalgic mood. This has got to be one of my favorites of yours Hanne - though that is more than a little difficult to pick one among so many. Gorgeous work indeed. F/V FB
