This weekend, I talked this portrait of my friend's nephew.
In tackling this portrait, I decided to start with my pencil and then use watercolor. I didn't start with my normal fountain pen with Platinum carbon black ink.
Pencil and watercolor without ink
This was a departure from my normal style, but I kind of liked it. So, I posted it on Sktchy and asked for feedback. The majority of the feedback was that I should leave the portrait as is - and the hardest thing with watercolor is knowing when to stop!
So, I thought I would tackle this next portrait of Kiana - in my usual style with fountain pen and ink first and watercolor next.
What do you think? Which do you prefer - watercolor & pencil or ink & watercolor?
