I spent a few days working on this watercolor portrait. It was a very enjoyable project and a very frustrating project at the same time.
My model is one of my favorite young ladies who is one of the sweetness people I know I was hoping to capture her sweetness in this project.
The over face turned out well but the photo doesn't do it justice. I began with a wash of light rose and then went over with some senna and violets to get the shading in and the highlights.
The hair in the reference photos I took was a mess. She has beautiful long hair but it was all over her knit shirt. I should have simplified the hair and edited it with more care to give the picture a greater unity.
I may come back to it later and try to clean up the hair a bit. I'll try lifting some of it out with a brush of clear water and paper towel. Then reintroduce the fix with a fresh application of color. I might use black acrylic or even black gesso to the hair.
