Watercolour portrait

It has been summer holidays, with some watercolour stagnation.  Rather than reading watercolour books, I have been enjoying reading some wonderful books by the Norwegian author Tove Nilsen ("Øyer i hjerter" and "Kretadøgn").

As I couldn't quite find the inspiration for painting, I started watching watercolour videos on youtube the last days. Some of the videos there are really great for inspiration, as well as to watch others' techniques.

The inspiration led to this blue portrait.

    This is a lovely portrait - love how you have captured the face with so few colours and have used the tones. I'll be looking up your inspiration on Youtube.

    Thank you very much. :) Yes, there are all sorts of watercolour demonstrations on youtube - of varying quality, but some are really great. It is fun to watch all the different techniques and motives of painters around the world. Have fun!
