Watercolor portrait process - a gift to my neighbor

It's been a while since I shared a painting process. This year, I definitely slowed down my pace of uploading videos. I was planning to make a video sharing my recent life. Unfortunately, I got sick, so that'll have to wait.
However, I still want to share a painting process of my recent favorite portrait painting. Hope you enjoy it, and I'll see you again soon!

How I would love to see the neighbour's reaction to his portrait! 🤩😀 I can just imagine how happy he must be of this extraordinary gift.

Superb neighbours...both🤗🤗🤗

Amazing. You have a special talent for portraits Eric and I’m fascinated by the process. You manage to preserve the transparency right to the end. Thanks for sharing. Get well soon.

What a lovely story about your neighbor. I think you have the same qualities. Kindness and peace. Jesus taught us how to be kind. He says to love your neighbor as yourself. ❤️❤️❤️ we can’t pick our neighbors but we can be kind. 🙏🏻 thank you for this tutorial on portrait painting. I’ve been asked to paint a person and I always feel under qualified because I’ve had trouble getting the likeness of the person. I may try again. 🥰 Your tips are wonderful. Don’t be gone so long again! Lol praying you feel better soon!

Thank you for your kind words 🥰 this really makes my day!

Great work 😮 thanks for sharing.

Eric, I love your portrait of your neighbor. Such careful detail, and it still looks loose and exactly like him. I appreciated your videos of Chien Chong Wei and Ellie Yu and can see how they affected your approach. I hope you feel better soon! Take care.

Thank you, Esther! :D

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Excellent 👌... kindness is so well expressed ❤

Eric, do you use grids to do your line drawings?

[@Cafewatercolor]

I dont personally. Nothing inherently wrong with using grid, but it's just not how I like to work :)
