Two Portraits

Watercolor on paper, 11 x 15 in.


Charcoal & White Chalk on paper, 11 x 15 in.

I was so much fascinated by this image that I painted 2 different versions of it. The original reference was in B & W. Who knows, I may paint yet another version :)

  2. This is awesome. The complemnts trick has worked really well in the watercolor. The charcoal version has more character though.

  6. Fantastic portraits. I like the colors in the first one, and the sense of sunlight on his face. The charcoal one has a strong character development and his expression is wonderful. Looking forward to seeing another rendition!
