Partner painting

I painted her, so of course I have to paint him! It was hard to find a photo of Governor Tim Walz without an open-mouthed toothy smile, but I finally managed to do so. I didn't want to have to do teeth again, after the Kamala portrait—the teeth were the biggest issue for many viewers, and I must admit that when you draw in pen, you still need to stop and think about suggesting rather than drawing every line, to get a better effect.

"Tim Walz" is drawn with Uniball pen and painted in watercolor on 140-lb. Fabriano coldpress, 9x12 inches.
