Painting online with watercolours

Painting online with watercolours and here a portrait of a young woman and as usual I sketch in the main features before I put watercolour to paper. The paper I am using is Bockingford 140Lb paper (300)grams) and using a number 9 kolinsky sable brush and a smaller number 4 for detailed work.
 

I mix cadmium red with yellow ochre and a touch of ultramarine blue and start on her forehead, sometimes I start with the hair, it just depends on how you feel at the time.

With more ultramarine in the mixture I carry on where I left off working wet in wet. I did a little spattering in the background.

More colours are added to her face and an hairband in her hair is added working wet in wet. See how the hair blends into the background on the left here.

The front part of her hair is added and more spattering is added to the background and my aim here is to blend some of the hair with the background.

The eyebrows and eyelids are added using a smaller brush and more form added to her nose and sometimes at this stage I work wet in wet and leave some areas hard.
