I have long admired the charcoal "mugs" of John Singer Sargent. But I don't like charcoal. So I thought of trying to do them in watercolors, as a color monochrome. Here is my attempt. I see some problems with it. Mostly the tilt angle of the eyes, should be a little less. Also, I tried to center it by drawing a box around the head and hoping the lines would fade away as the background was filled in. That didn't happen. I'll try painting wetter in the future.
