Portrait Workshop.

I went to a portrait workshop this weekend and did a drawing and a painting ... not brilliant, but I plan to practise!!

Portrait of a girl - Layla, in watercolour.

I had to have another go at this portrait of Layla. I am much happier with this one, but I will probably have another go at a later date. I have learned to sketch in a 2B pencil for the outline of a watercolour - that way the pencil doesn't spoil the clarity of the paint.


The blog makes this look very pale, but the original has good depth and colour, which I'm pleased with... you could click to get a better view, but it still doesn't quite show it..

Woman's Face in watercolour.

I decided to keep working on this one as it wasn't quite right. I can see progress in my work, but I have a long way to go!!
