This is a great water color portrait. I really like the tones of the skin, the eyes are great, and you have achieved a nice glossy look the the hair. Nice work. Thank you for sharing.

Comment from Bette Davis


You are very much talented.. Katya.. This toddler's portraiture came very nicely painted, the shining hair, the eyes, the very sensitive area by her/his mouth and teeth, the shadow and light techniques..Furthermore this hidden and so bashful and innocence smile.. Really an outspoken work.. Keep the excellent work going.

Comment from Spirit Dove


This is very rich looking for a watercolor. I love your soft green background and how you used the same color for hightlights to add texture to her hair.
Very well done, great skin tones and shading.

Very lovely portrait of this young lady. Nice depth and good attention to your details. I like the way your shadows and highlights have brought up her expression. Shirley

This is an exceptional watercolor portrait. Watercolor is one media I have never been able to work with and I admire people who can do such a wonderful job with it.

Outstanding shadings, excellent use of color, splendid knowledge of the human figure and the shirt pattern is outstanding. His eyes are so expressive and the reflections in this is magnificent. Great work.

Being an identical twin myself, I can appreciate this. In my case, you could paint my brother and just make a photo copy of it and put my name one it. Very nicely rendered portrait. I am certain it was greatly appreciated.

You have done a remarkable job on this. Your detail is amazing and the use of the watercolours has worked nicely Has a nice pastel type effect here.
