Create a Watercolor Portrait

ASSIGNMENT

Your assignment is to paint a watercolor portrait, using the tips and techniques you learned in the videos. You don't have to paint two figures like I did; I only did so in order to demonstrate the differences in painting light and dark skin tones. Your drawing can be as stylized or "cartoony" as you like, as long as the skin tone colors are realistic.
