Lovely watercolour portrait. I love the expression of the Warrior and the wet skin...and, you have a great gallery.

A really excellent piece. So vibrant and full of life. You've probably alreay tried it, but I actually like Arches hot pressed for portraits. It lends a very transparent quality to the painting.

Thank you for your kind comments. Can anyone tell me how I can search the site for selected artist's galleries? At this stage I haven't tried the hot pressed papers - I know some artists really enjoy the ability to lift off and rework paint in the smoother surface. Perhaps I'll go and hunt some down and try it. You never know.

I'm still trying to find a paper I really enjoy - Fabriano is getting close. This image came from a frame of Mel Gibson's film Apocalypto - about as gruesome a movie as you'd ever care to see and not a line of english - all subtitles. But what wonderful cinematography.
