Watercolor Wednesday: Black & White Portrait

Hi everyone, time to post another step in my expedition into watercolors.

Here I was trying to start some portraying (which I have never done before). So I hopped over to shorpy.com to get a model. I cropped out the face of this picture:

I did some sketching by hand on a 13:9cm area:

And then starts the coloring…

…until I came to an end.

The finished picture does not look like a copy of the original, but has it’s own “quality”. For a first hand-sketched portrait it is not too shabby.
