First watercolor portrait, in progress

[mouadmst]

This is my first watercolor painting. It was extremely difficult in terms of getting the right color tones, and I had to paint several layers to reach this initial result.

I like seeing the progress of this. Very nice work.

Thank you. I won't hide from you that it was a wonderful experience. Watercolors have a special charm and add a touch of elegance to the painting.

There’s a lot of talent on this site.

Yes, that's what prompted me to try these colors, especially when I see some amazing works here and some useful experiments that increase the artist's experience.

Nice job! I'm just starting with wc too, this has inspired me to try a different approach.

This is really excellent. Portraiture is notoriously difficult. This shows remarkable talent in the way the values and colors are blended without streaking or blooms. What I find intriguing is that your non-traditional approach is so refreshing. Working one a few select areas with a build up of different tones, rather than light washes over the whole painting, really seems to be working. Please continue posting your WIP.

I am at one with Joy. Perhaps gouache would be an ideal medium to try with your painting technique as well.

You are right, but what I currently have available are only watercolors.
