Beautiful and casual. I love the colors you chose...and please keep doing so - makes your painting so less predictable! Children's mouths are red...blah, blah, blah...thank you for doing something out of the box, how refreshing! lol

Which colours did you use for the shadows please?

[@MelissaCart]

It seems like forever since I painted in watercolour even though the last portrait I painted was about 5 months ago. I was learning and still learning :). But the colours I used to paint this portrait were ultramarine blue, yellow, and burnt umber, permanent alizarin. I added black for the darkest areas since brown and blue wasn't dark enough. I can't remember exactly which colours I used for the shadows (sorry I have to relearn again) but maybe red/blue/brown.

Brush name please

[@MelissaCart]

I used silver black velvet watercolour brushes

[@gerhardbarkhorn2781]

Overall the watercolor is so nice. But need to work on the red color. Children have a red mouth, I would even say pink-red. This is not a criticism, but a wish.Good luck.

[@MelissaCart]

Thank you!! I’ll keep that in mind 😊
