Watercolour Portrait Essentials: Color, Values and Character

Wonderful execution Maximilian. The shading in his face is perfect :)

Your painting is beautiful, Maximiliane, and you should feel very pleased with this result. There is a lovely sense of character here, with confident brushwork and really expressive colour throughout the face and clothing. I can see the progress you mention, especially in the way the light feels soft and natural across the portrait. It is great to hear you enjoyed the tutorial, that enjoyment always comes through in the final painting. Thank you for sharing this, it is a wonderful piece and a very rewarding to see!

Really well done Maximilian. Excellent. The colours are perfect and his face and shading just brings him to life.

This is a wonderful portrait Maximliane. You have given the handsome young man life. I love this portrait so much.

This is amazing  Maximliane...beautifully done

I am quite happy with my portrait and I see improvements. I think next time I would focus on adjusting the difference between light and midtones. In any case I did enjoy the tutorial a lot
