Fundamentos de retratos em aquarela: cores, valores e caracteres

Love your sense of humor Christine ~ Always gives me a chuckle!  He has a true boy expression and I know my son had a black eye or two at this age. But really, your piece has true character. The layering of colors is perfect and your background is so smooth and subtle it sets up the scene beautifully :)

hledí do dálky s takovým smutkem, ale i nadějí. Je úžasný.

awesome Christine! Congratulations !!well done too!!:)

He's great! So much expression and feeling here! Maybe he got a bit tipsy at Christmas and walked into a door hehehe ~ either way, he's wonderful! Very well done! Happy New Year :)

Thanks Joanne...many  happy returns 😊 

Christine this is a brilliant portrait. I can relate to this brave young guy's expression. Perhaps he has been through the war and received a shiner, ( I usually do that swelling stuff on the mouth) but his beautifully painted eyes tell us he will win the war! kidding aside, his skin tones are wonderful and the depth you've created is so well done.

This is such an engaging portrait, Christine, and I love your sense of humour about the process. Portraits can feel unforgiving, but what really comes through here is the strength of the colours and the honesty in the expression, which is far more important than absolute perfection. You have clearly absorbed the spirit of the class and approached it with courage and curiosity, and that is exactly how real progress happens. Thank you so much for your kind words, and for giving this challenging subject a proper go! 😃👏

Thank  you Will... I really  did enjoy it and as you know  you will always  be your own worst  critic:*)) especially  when  you  can see you're  mistakes sticking out ...have  a wonderful  new year  and thank you  for  all your  hard  work  ...I really  appreciate it :*))

I love the skin tones you got; there's a lot of subtle variety and the warm and cool tones play off each other well. Also love the soulful introspective expression, it has a lot of interest and feeling.

Thank you Charlotte  very  kind...happy new year 

I like it. He has  a lot of character and expression.

Thank you  Maximiliane ..happy new year 

Very cool, Christine, he turned out so beautiful. I love the soft transition of colours, the soft and hard edges, and his expression. Looking forward to painting him too.

Thank you Ingrid.. very kind... looking forward to seeing him... happy New Year Ingrid 😄

Splendid! Out of this world! Christine, if you auction your art, you will be a millionaire.

Very nice Christine maybe he is celebrating 2026 already! Will be looking forward to taking this class real soon. Is very 3d.

He looks like  he might have been  celebrating  already...true... we've all been  there :*)))

Loved this class with  Will, full of vibrant  colours  and fantastic  subject...in saying  that I  wish mine didn't  turn out like he had a swollen  eye and a bit like  he's  been through the wars...many  thanks  Will  for a very  informative and interesting class...
