This is new for me - I’m trying loosen up, stop before overworking, and explore color. These are my first efforts at quick studies with watercolor. I gave myself a fairly short timeframe (15 min) to work with a hard-to-control medium. LOA gave me all profiles this time.

I’d appreciate feedback - hope I linked them correctly. They’re in my sketchbook
Thanks

These are beautiful. So effective while very simplistic at the same time. I immediately recognized those profiles. My only critique would be the hair on the 1st portrait is blue and black which I do enjoy but I think if you added a little more green into the blue then the cool olive colored skin tone would mesh better.
