Portraits colorés : explorer les techniques expressives à l'aquarelle pour peindre des visages

Beautiful work Kris! The bold colours really capture the energy of the Holi festival, and framing it makes it look even more striking. You’ve done a fantastic job balancing all those vibrant hues while keeping the portrait strong and expressive. Thanks so much for sharing it! 😊

Thank you Will. I think I know more now. This was 4 days of 2 hours sessions with the layering and drying. But I have learned new stuff I need to try. 

Wow, absolutely superb Kris! You’ve managed to convey so much emotion and feeling with the expression you’ve painted. I love the burst of warm colours behind her as well :-)

Thanks Will! I had some Brusho for that beginning abstract splash of yellow, red and orange, it really pops! I used your line drawing. Such a wonderful idea and so fun to paint!
