Self Portrait
It's been 30 years since I did my last portrait! This 5 x 7" watercolor and ink painting was challenging for me. I think self portraits are tough! I used Inktense watersoluble pencils, applied with a brush (not as a pencil), also watercolor and a touch of gouache for highlights. I like how Inktense becomes non soluble after it dries, which allows me to apply lots of layers.
