        Good morning, Good morning,
        I am starting something new: portraits in water color (so far from photos but my goal is to do live painting). I started this one yesterday and I would like to get your Help! with this project and get your inputs as I go along…
        Not sure if you can recognize the fab four.

        No name cold pressed cotton paper 300g/m2, 18 * 24 inches,
        mainly W&N colors

        Thanks a lot already for looking and commenting – I hope that I am getting better …

        Hello, Good bye

                Hi all,
                Here comes the second revision after adding details on mouth and eyes (thank you for your feedback, Kaylen). I will continue with more layers to reach better values.

                Any other c& c is welcome, since I am new to painting portraits in WC.

                Cheers and thank you
