Hi steemians, I would like to share a portrait I did using watercolours on A5 paper. Splash and paint drip effect. It took about an hour and 45 minutes to do.

Step 1: Outline and basic colours.

Outline done with pencil. I add base colours and like the way they naturally blend together and drip down the page.

Final piece

Below is the final piece with filters added.

I like the overall dramatic effect created with watercolours and the eyes when using an opposing colour. I made the eyes the most detailed to bring focus on them.

Hope you liked this post!
