Hi David,
That may be the scanner alot of light got to it because it was still on the strecher platform. I will post a better picture.
The shirt was left undetailed on purpose I wanted that to recede in the background and have the face stand out
This picture is probably better but still not perfect.
I will also post a closeup

I might switch to oils later but it is expensive and messy for now I have to stick to watercolor.
Do you think I would get better results with oils?
It is a hard medium (watercolor) to work with once you make a mistake it is almost unfixable.
Thank you also I was doing this from a bad photo all the color was washed out so it was challenging perhaps from a flash I am not sure.
The chin is a fat one though there were heavy lines but I thought that was due to the photo since there was only real light and real dark areas.
Any comments on that??
Thanks for the critique David.
Jen
