Click Image to see larger version in my gallery 7 x 9 in - 18 x 23 cm Watercolor This was a quick try at doing something for a portrait thread on PaintingFriends.com.
I was trying to work in a Charles Reid style, doing nearly everything in as near to a one touch as you can get. Strong darks with control, go in once. I find it very hard, which is why there are very overworked areas. However taken as a whole it is clearly going in the direction I wanted.
The reference is curtsey of the MorgueFile.
Cool Roger. You captured her expression, especially around the eyes.
