Portraits By Marilyn - Commissioned Portrait and Pet Watercolor Art

At the Beach

Marilyn Jacobson — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 23:54:09 +0000

Here is a sketch with watercolor pencil of a father and son at the beach. I may try a watercolor later. I need to work on the perspective of the ocean waves, so it won’t look like they’re about to be washed away!

A picture of me with my painting “And He Called His Name Jesus” at the artist’s reception of the Seeing God Juried Art Exhibit. Beautiful art. I’m one of 29 artists selected to participate.

Path of Light

Marilyn Jacobson — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 19:14:24 +0000

These two images are actually one picture. Watercolor on yupo is fun and challenging. It is not easy to apply as much color as I would like to have in the painting, because of the nature of the yupo. The goal is to create a path of light on the rocks; to be effective, the rocks and perhaps the water should be darker. I like the rush and splash of the water.

Attending Greg Lipelt Workshop

Two paintings completed during the Greg Lipelt workshop on portrait painting. I especially like the portrait on the right.

Mother and Son Share Joy in Portrait

Marilyn Jacobson — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 17:15:57 +0000

It’s fun to capture the joy in this portrait. What can be better than enjoying a sunny day together? This painting captures a wonderful memory!

Snow Leopard Painting

Marilyn Jacobson — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 21:35:35 +0000

Here is the completed painting of a snow leopard, a magnificent animal. I will make numbered giclee prints of this painting. Perhaps the shop at the Como Zoo would like to sell prints of this painting.

New Year’s Goals

Marilyn Jacobson — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 23:03:56 +0000

For 2012 my goal is to sketch daily, from real life when possible, or from T.V. I want to focus mainly on people in sports or performing music. Here is a sketch of various hockey players I did while watching the “Wild” on T.V. They beat Edmonton 5 to 3.
