Portrait and story by Magdalena Kraus

Watercolor Academy Art Competition

My name is Magdalena Kraus. I'm 80 yrs old. I'm a widow. This is a portrait of my husband; used a photograph for reference. My husband died in 2021; miss him so much that painting his portraits has been my way of keeping his face alive - I never want to forget his face.

I find watercolors very difficult compared to oils.

I've followed the posting of the students of the Watercolor Academy and I think if I win, I'd be able to do better watercolor painting with the courses from the Watercolor Academy.

I need the votes of those who think I'm worth the free watercolor course.
