Child Portrait, the painting stages of a watercolor by Linda Young

Tonight, I only had about an hour to work on this portrait and THAT was at 10:45 tonight.  In this session, I added some color to the storybook, and put washes of burnt sienna and cobalt on his shirt.  Hints of wrinkles now beginning to become more apparent.  I also made some adjustments to his left hand to lighten the fingernails and soften the top of the hand.
