Old man with red turban

Watercolor on Paper

The big red turban and the man's weather beaten face were the two reasons I did this portrait!

    Brilliant! Absolutely outstanding work on his face. The turban I think could do with some more darks in the shadows, or perhaps it is the red showing up like that on the monitor. Kudos!

    Hi Ramesh,
    The portrait is great. Just as Nithya mentioned, I feel it is better if there is one more darkest value to the turban.

    Good portait. IMHO the wrinkles and Turban details done with line work could have been avoided
