Lady in the Light, watercolor, 8x6"

After watching a Sktchy watercolor demo by Alison Pinto, I tried my hand at drawing (see below) and painting this sweet face. I want to assemble a good palette for watercolor portraits, so tried Alison's interesting palette (see bottom of post for pigments and reference photos). So far I know I do not like Burnt Sienna in portraits.

I was a little happy with this painting until I realized I'd given her googly eyes and started trying to "fix" the painting, which with watercolor translates to "wreck" the painting. Oh well. This is a scan I made before I started "fixing."
