Watercolor Experiment Continues...

My experiment with watercolor keeps continuing, and as I do more and more, the learning is immense and teaches me what to do first and what next, as a step by step approach. Most important it teaches me patience to wait for a day to dry completely and then apply the next layer. This painting was done whenever had some 15-30mins free time, did not do in single stretch. Obviously friends and colleagues in office appreciate, but only I know where the mistakes are :) and ofcourse a professional would easily find them. As always your critics are welcome to improve myself.

Radha Krishna - Experiment on Watercolor

Guess what I did this weekend? yeah its again Radha Krishna in watercolor. This appeared to be easy at first sight, since I dont have to draw the real face, but ended up really difficult in preparing the background with those dark colors. I should have used masking fluid to cover the main picture and played around with the background dark colors, its ok, another learning. experiment continues...

Please provide your valuable suggestions to improve.
