Practice portrait started in Corel Painter by using digital gouaches (applying what I learned in theory about the medium, especially regarding tiling. Finished in PS) and a watercolor sketch done after watching a nice tutorial by this gentleman:https://www.youtube.com/user/jniths
I feel I can control watercolor more now and apply reasonable textures more controlled. Still have to practice more and I´m going to start using gouaches and oils soon. Experimenting with different traditional media gives one so much more understanding of colors and painting which can easily be transfered to the digital medium as it offers vastly more options and mistakes are easier to correct,e.g. in watercolor, working from the lights to the darks needs getting used to. You have to plan more carefully and leave out the lightest parts.
