Hi everyone! I hope you're all safe and doing fine! Recently, I've been practicing different techniques in using watercolor. But to share with you, I've never done any portraits before! I never have the real courage to do so because I thought I do not have a hope for doing such kind of art. And it's too bad for me that I didn't saw my capabilities before. BUT it's never too late. During the quarantine period, I've decided to get out of my comfort zone, challenge myself and try new stuffs. And here are the results! If you'll check out my previous blogs, I've already posted my very first attempt and previous studies in doing portraits using watercolor but honestly, this painting is my currently favorite! :)
I really just wanted to share this story of mine to remind that everybody has so much more things that can do, and sometimes getting out of our comfort zone can turn into something beautiful we didn't expected :)
Materials used:
Prang watercolor on Canson watercolor paper
This are my work in progress.
-I'm still practicing free hand sketching but for now I'm using grids for a more accurate edges :)
-Here you can see how I layer my works part by part upto the finished painting. Mixing skintone was the very tough part for me because it basically sums up the whole color combination through out the painting. Also, detailing was the crucial part because watercolors are harder to rework unlike acrylic and poster colors.
