As I mentioned in another thread, I have begin watercolour painting and feel like sharing the results. I think I'm getting better, but started off laughably badly.
This was one of my first attempts, from a couple of weeks ago:

This one is from yesterday, and I'm much happier with it overall:

Still a lot to do on it yet, but I'm pleased with the way it is going.

I love watercolours. The second one looks best to me too. Might you also try some famous people? A watercolour Laurel and Hardy?

I hadn't thought of it, but yes I might indeed! As I say I'm quite aware how limited these are, but I'm really enjoying learning new things as I go. I'm noticing things that need correcting in all of them as I look at these photos too!

Is the painting why she is your soon to be ex-wife? I think it looks pretty good, myself!

Finished article. Still notice the wrong things more than the right ones, but this is absolutely the best I can do at the minute.

No we've been separated now for more than three years and now she is suing me for divorce so that she can marry someone else.

Thanks! Pleased with Stan; Ollie's eyes are too close together. I enjoyed doing it a lot, though.

I had another go at this, a while back. This is my niece.
The background is truly awful, looking like some kind of apocalyptic nightmare, but I like the way the light falls on her face.

The improvement in your technique is clearly visible. That looks really good.
