Water for a desert.

It takes a lot of water to get smooth washes and even tones in watercolor. There's a strange balancing act that occurs between the water in the palette, water in the paper, and water in the brush - too much or too little in any of those areas will be met with chaotic results. Working on large scenes like this one (even at 8.5x11") will require larger brushes than the ones I have been using.

A Competent Profile

As I start to become more familiar with proportions and measurements for the various faces I attempt to draw, I am starting to wonder how to make a more complete portrait with my limited time. Do I stick to lines? Do I bring a brush and some ink? Which lines should I include? Which shapes are important to represent? Maybe this is a good time to look at the work other artists have done and try to work out some of their methods.
