Watercolor Portrait - "Keith"





My first attempt at a portrait in watercolor.  I worked from the picture and am very happy with this!  :)

This portrait is of Keith - someone I loved a long time ago.  He passed away last year and there are many that miss him dearly..

You should be proud of this, it's a lovely memorial. Consider continuing to work on portraits, it appears you may have a knack for it.

very nicely done with all of the contrasts in the skin tones.

What a beautiful portrait. I love those soft colours and low contrasts...

This is really, really, good. I not only see the likeness, I see the character, at least the kindness in the person's face - which is rare for a portrait artist to portray
