    Watercolour portrait

    This painting done on my iPad mini is the result of many layers combined in an effort to get a watercolour effect. I don't think the ipad creates watercolour that effectively, but I enjoyed the hours of effort trying to get the look I wanted

    Niloc, I can see how many hours you would have put into your painting. Watercolour effects can be so difficult to achieve, and you have been very successful. Well done!

    Brilliant, Niloc! I love how you have it bleeding into the face around the temples -- that really integrates the style into it beautifully.

    @ Mr Ploos -- go man go!!!!!!
