Painting Watercolor Portraits

Two portrait works in progress from a Stephie Butler workshop.









First, the young girl. This one is almost done. I will add a few small details and leave the rest as is.







Second, the old man. I selected this subject to learn wrinkles (character lines), beards and fabric. I have more to do on this painting.



I've been wanting to get back to portraits, and this workshop did the job. Generally, I paint portraits with oil paint, and I'm glad to have learned this watercolor technique as it is just what I've been looking for. I will be focused on portraits for some time to come.
