thanks for this..... its well interesting to see this..do you have a web site with step by step works at all ....or is this a stupid question!!!!...lol

Thank you, Although I will try to answer any questions from others or will advise anyone, I paint only for myself. Websites and tutorials I leave to others more qualified than me. I now a lot of tips and techniques, some I have learnt from other artists and some I have invented myself. I did the 4 pose painting to show the flow of work. I hate people making money out of others with things that should be free.

it's so artistic and look so fresh! I love it so much...lookin forward for another work of yours...

Thank you, I'm have a bit of a reat I normally paint five to ten paintings a day. I have a very activive time at the moment. It's nice to have another watercolourist on the site.

Do you use a wet paper when you start? I'm very interested in watercolours and I have used watercolour pencils some times, but I haven't had time to try them on portraits..Should I start with watercolour pencils or just original watercolours?

Ok by it's name a wash is a wet area. But not soaking a controled wetness. First apply the clean water evenly, if possible, then mix a water paint solution up and place onto paper this will give many varing effects, the thing is to remember the good ones, play first before using on a portrait. W/C pencils, Both is the easy answer, I have used w/c pencils to set out a drawing or now a brush, any ordinary brush not a pencil of any kind ( in japanese style).

Okay thanks for your advice
