Day 6 - Prussian green

This is my favorite of the entire series, this color surprised me! I didn't expect this rich, beautiful duochrome color bringing so much life into this portrait.

Day 7 - Deep Scarlet

Scary angle, but once I dealt with the sketch, all of the other things (watercolor) fell into place. I enjoyed this one more than I thought I would, but it was tough.

Loved this challenge for myself as well :)
