Watercolor sketches

Photographs as everyone knows enhance the contrast significantly making areas in shadow, very dark. So when one tries to paint from photograph on a large size paper, the painting does not have the same impact as the photograph. So I wanted to try something on a small size paper and ended up selecting a pocket size sketchbook. Here are 2/3 sketches I made yesterday and day before. I loved the effect, I hope you would like them as well.

Getting out of comfort zone

I am now trying to get out of my comfort zone trying new subjects with figures, textures and so on! Hopefully the experiements will help in building new skills.
