30 Day Portrait Challenge: Part 1

I decided to shake things up a bit and take 30 day watercolor/gouache portrait challenge. They are far from perfect, but just experimenting with different techniques and mediums. I’ll be posting the results every few days.

6 x 9 in. On 140lb white watercolor paper, unless otherwise stated.
