Portraits



Portraits- Using watercolour to create realistic skin colour was very difficult for me as i wasn't used to using blue tones to add shadow. I didn't want to add too much detail as i wanted to focus on the realism of the skin. I found this quite difficult but has helped me feel better mixing my colour palette an doing portraits. As for the charcoal portrait I felt more comfortable using it as it was easy to blend and get the shadows right.

I don't feel fully happy about this drawing as i didn't add much tone or shading.
