Calle Aldama Watercolor

I was commissioned to do the red version of this artwork, but I wanted to practice different color schemes and styles so I also did a blue and purple version.

9x6 watercolor paper with pencil, ink, and watercolor.

Purple version without decorative frame

Ink sketch done before watercolor

Final red version. This felt like it had enough contrast, so I didn't add ink lines like in the blue version.

Pencil drawing done before watercolor. The actual pencil lines were lighter than represented in this image.

Final watercolor wash

I added ink lines at the end to give it more contrast and texture.
