Painting a Watercolor Portrait of a Boy

Add dark colors

At this point, I like to add darker-value colors to the painting to further define the forms. I started with the hair, moved to the eyes, the corners of the mouth. I mixed red and burnt umber for the areas around the mouth and nose. This was also a good time to work into adding more details to the garment.
I gently lifted the reflected area under the chin, and added a little yellow color as the reflected color from the yellow shirt.
