Word of mouth of recommendation brought me new clients every now and then.
In 2011, a mother of 3, wanted her kids portraits painted in colour on paper. Watercolour is a challenge for beginners but it was fun exploring with new mediums as well as making mistakes.

These are my first few watercolour portraits. I believe it takes more than just practice in watercolour. There are many different aspects to look at when using this particular medium in artworks such as the above. It takes a lot of understanding in light, pigments, colours, shadows and reasonings to the techniques applied.
Portraits are already difficult. Watercolour adds on the challenge to it. Therefore combining it would be a good practice in order to improve my watercolour skills. Advice from lecturers and tips from other artists also helped me in many ways of understanding the usage of watercolour.
Thanks for reading!
