Portrait of an unknown youth, 11" x 15"

Well this is supposed to be a blog about watercolour landscapes but I recently succumbed to doing a portrait as a bit of a change. It must have been at least 30 years since I did my last watercolour portrait and it'll probably be many years before I attempt another.  One thing for sure, I find they take twice as long as a landscape, and always the temptation is to capture the likeness of the subject.
