Excellent, Very impressionist in stlye but retaining likeness a powerful watercolour. Good light and depth, we only differ in that I use more washes and build to the likeness. You have a very good eye.

Thanks. watercolor is a difficult medium to handle and your works are its standard. I am novice yet but I will fallow my experiences. :grin:

Don't be so hard on yourself their very, very good. I have my stlye and you have yours, I could never paint digitally like you, I have no idea with oils. I draw poorly with a pencil I'm only a good drawer with a brush and a good observer of faces.

well...hats off to those who can control watercolor on wet paper! I become an abstract expressionist in that environment. This is great Shahin... :clap:

In fact I wrestled with the paper. Think about a lazy person that is accustomed to easily oil paint techniques and now he is in front of a speedy drying paper and crazy runny washes. It was a nightmare! A ruler caster!
