'' If something is good, don't spoil it''
That was my moto while doing this one. Portrait is subject done for centuries, emotions written on someone face, skin tone, eyes..
Maybe that's why I love to paint them so much, like a path or stories written on someone face..
And as I done them in 2017, sure I will continue with them in this year :)
Lately I am trying to work with larger amounts of water, learning how to control it in connection with color..Watching process of drying and waiting for results.

Drawing beneath is simple, just few lines without many details. Later I am entering into them with color.
First stages of process looks messy, water should be watched and controlled all the time and you can do that by using brush, taking of too much of it from paper and also with some kitchen paper towels.
Between stages it's important to wait for watercolor become dry to see the results before going further. From this first messy one I usually wait over night.
This kind of brush is good because it takes lot of water and color, and its shape allows you to make different line and spot sizes.
After being dried well, stepping into details
And more of them, also using less water and more color
Until it's finished..
Hope you liked this small tutorial of mine. Also I hope someone of you who are fan of watercolor technique will try out your skills, because I believe art needs lot of practice and results don't come over night :)
What an amazing watercolor!!! Very impressed!!!

this is great - watercolor is a very hard - and often underrated - medium! The balance between the free flow and control is excellent!
Oil or acrylic, you can make and fix mistakes. Not so with watercolor. Bravo!

Beautiful colours, you really have a special eye for colour. To me, it says a lot about how you must see the world to be able to see the unity & balance in colours like this. It's great you are able to express it in your work and we are able to be inspired by it. Lovely!

Ooh this is wonderful ! I would be fearing of spoiling the painting with a a clumsy gesture... you have to be kinda bold to do watercolour ;-)

thank you @kiki.tan, but this one you see is product of some 30 years of hard work and drawing :) So, it's not only talent, usually it's more work :)
