Native American in Sennelier watercolour

This was another painting that was way out of my comfort zone. For one thing, it was created in the Strathmore watercolour journal and it's a bit like trying to paint on hot press. Paint lifts so easily off that surface when rewetted and the paint skates around but I admit, I am a poor workwoman blaming her tools.

I first saw this 'Native American' figure on YouTube; his name is Alexandro Querevalú and he originally comes from Peru but now lives in Poland! I'll put a link to his website and YouTube channel on my Pages in case you want to check him out. 

It took me longer than usual to paint this and I admit I was losing both heart and patience by the time I decided to stop faffing around with it and move on.
