Description IN WATERCOLOUR!!! This is the first time I've done a watercolour portrait.

Oh man watercolour is hard x___x
If I had put anymore colour into this painting the paper probably would have died.....When i started adding the red to the plaid shirt that doesn't really look plaid, the paper started coming apart ahaha.... Well I just used my sketchbook paper which happened to be the thickest paper I have, which isn't thick enough. awesome. And the paper wrinkled too much, and i had to erase the shawdows on the scan ): Anyhowww other than the shirt the painting came out okay xD

I still need to work a lot of brush control etc. I've rarely painted before, rarely used brushes. Elementary doesn't count. Look forward to more of these experimental portraits!


Wtheck is with the line?! I reuploaded the file and it still wont go away T__T

Nice job!
Is this your first real watercolor?

Yes, it is a little annoying- its very easy to screw up the paper -__-

I'd recommend real watercolor paper, its a very difficult medium, there are lots and lots of layers..

good luck! and gazette ftwXD
