Hi Adriana,

This is the outcome of my watercolour portrait exercise. 

I applied a purple underpainting as you previously mentioned. Next, I applied a more warm color towards red and brown to begin to define the eyes, nose, etc.

Even though I could not make the drawing as smooth as yours, I like the result and can say that I will use watercolour more from now on.

Thanks for the class!

Robson.

Hi Adriana,

 

Thank you for the class, it is very enjoyable!

The warm up exercises made sense to me and I think I am getting the hang of it. 

Will try the portrait later on and let you know the results. I did not have the same colors you used but tried my best to match them with the ones I have.

Also, I used a fine black pen for the outlines and a white pen to increase some highlights.

Thank you,

 

Robson.

 

Some trials using the watercolour techniques from Adriana Dominguez Álvarez's class.

In this exercise I used the base color technique, gradually adding layers. The outlines were made with a black permanent marker.

 

This tip about the different color zones of the face is very handy. I will try to make more conscious use of it in the portrait exercise.

 

This one is still drying.
