Watercolour practice 1

Reflection 2 26th October 2018

The colour looks a bit faded in this photo, the first one is nearer the right colour.

I wanted to practice painting water colour faces

I want to improve my water colour techniques.

I would like to improve my shading techniques in water colours and to improve my neatness.

But overall I am happy with the picture and consider it finished when I have cut the picture to size.
