Marlon Brando- or 'Jor-El' - watercolour study for larger painting.

I could have taken this further in terms of some of the values, but I felt the proportions could do with tweeking, which is impossible to do with watercolour, particularly when it gets to a certain stage. I am happy enough with it as a study, I felt I learnt a lot through just using the black watercolour, something I've done very rarely. My aim is to make a large-scale painting in colour from a black and white reference. I love using just the black watercolour to sketch with, I found it very relaxing, gradually building up the values. I'm sure I'll be doing it again soon!

Lovely stuff Paul, I love using watercolours myself. An artist friend gave me the tip of adding Gouache for certain colours to add vibrancy, works a treat!

I was never sure whether Brando's squinty look was more contemplative or constipated - but whatever it was you've nailed it!
