Another Watercolor Study
A little ink line work, expressive hued watercolor, and a touch of colored conte crayon. Painted in 150 lb. cold press watercolor paper. 15"X18". From a B@W photo I found on the web.
I have to tell you, your latest expressive watercolors have left their mark on my psyche. I woke up this morning thinking about a portrait and how I should do it and immediately thought of these blocks of colors you use. Not sure I can do it justice but might have to give it a try!
