OK, do not laugh...or at least too hard. This is one of my first attempts at doing a watercolor of an actual person (in this case me). I did a sketch of my nephew a few weeks ago, I had been trying to do this for some time but have never been happy with what I have done in the past. I was motivated by a good friend of mine Sy, she does some wonderful paintings and I was talking to her about it and she convinced me to try again so I did. While they may not be perfect yet they are getting better. I really like the way my nephews pencil sketch came out so I decided to try and do a watercolor and I used a photo I had of my (it was a photo that Sy had taken). I am to some extent happy with it, I still need some more practice and will continue to try and then hopefully be able to do one of my nephew that I will be happy with. I like the hair in this painting better than my own hair, but the nose and mouth definitely need some work.
