Enzie,
Under no circumstances should you give up on watercolor. As I have noted elsewhere I am a better oil painter in part because I learned to paint in watercolor. Once you are able to trust your drawing skills you will find that a little courage and confidence will see you through the problems associated with this medium. I tell every class that I have ever taught that the first thing you must realize is that you will fill a lot of trash cans in the learning process. Since the method is one of working from light to dark you will learn to be effective in use of darks. You will also learn that you have to paint with more confidence and directness than you deserve but it eventually works. Watercolor portraits are not for sissies.
