Centurion

Beautifully done. Very effective; it conveys the strength of a Centurion.

Wonderful characterful face Ruth, great effect using only one colour. I've tried a few pictures using the one colour, it's a good exercise in tones.

Very impressive.

beautifully done, Ruth, very effective monochrome

Thank you very much, everyone! Using only one colour is certainly a great exercise in tonal management - it has helped me improve my handling of watercolour.
