Watercolours are an increasingly popular medium for portraits, creating a delicate and fresh look. I like to add effects which create a sense of movement and enhance skin tone, such as dry brushing and spattering. Watercolours are obviously the medium of choice where the colour of hair, eyes or fur is a prominent feature, but also work equally well for enhancing the delicacy of skin tone, or creating a dramatic contrast, for example, in an animal with strongly contrasting fur colour.
Take a look at my galleries of Watercolour Portraits, Watercolour Pet Commissions, Animal Watercolours and Miscellaneous Watercolours or view a selection of my watercolour paintings below.
