watercolor portrait

Here's a speed watercolor portrait done on A5 sketch book.  I was not particular about capturing the likeness of the subject. The main intent was to experiment the process and pick one or two tips from it for future attempts.

acrylics painting

I bought the acrylics paint long back and totally forgot about it after using once or twice. Most of the paint got hardened and spoiled.  Just thought of sharing one random work which I did recently with the colors that came out of the tube(which were still alive and flowed out seemlessly).  Here's the palette, it doesn't have much colors for the obvious reason stated above.

and here is the final result..

please let me know your thoughts on this :)
