At last.
I just finished this, My first real watercolour portrait.
I'm moderately pleased.
Watercolour is unforgiving and I can see my mistakes but it's better than I guessed it would be.
Here is a still-life in pastel pencil on smooth black paper.
Roger, that is a beautiful portrait!! There is nothing in that one that needs forgiving!!
Good work and I am sure it did take time.

Roger, I like still-life paintings. I am still amazed at what you do with those colored chalks - (sorry pastels, I believe).
Very good and the subdued colors blend very well.
You are advancing in the fast lane!!
