I'm so in love with these Holbein paints. The cold press paper was a new thing for me too (the next piece will be me trying out the it press). This uses the same sketch as my last piece although I modified it some and took a little more time on the sketch, which originally was thrown together in a half hour. Even this better version I managed to get done mostly in two days (my speed is improving!!) * I had so much fun that I stayed up way too late last night to do her. There's a part of me that wanted to go in with colored pencil and do some more work that way, but I feel like the hot press will be better for the way I do that. * My inexperience with watercolor still shows to me but I feel like I made a lot of improvement and have been learning a lot. I need to learn these paints though and learn to remember which one's reactive a lot (like the red of her paint!) * I'm so happy with how she turned out. I started out wanting a sketchier piece and I did start heavy with the graphite, but I strayed away from that as I went, but that's okay!! * * * #artsharingdaily #freeartfeature #artfeaturehelp #artistic_support #artsplacess #artbynights #artsguideig #artwork #artinstagram #dailyart #instart #artworks #watercolor #watercolors #watercolorpainting #watercolour #watercolours #watercolorpainting #illustration #portrait #holbein #holbeinwatercolors #archescoldpress #coldpresspaper #bluehair #warpaint https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu4J4C6Hhem/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13d6afwjtb0ux
