Chinese Brush Painting/ Self Portrait

Self Portrait
Watercolour in sketchbook
This is one of the little self portrait sketches I have been making on a daily basis. I include it here as it's watercolour and I was trying out an unusual technique I discovered. I covered the whole page with a light wash and then drew into it using one of those pencil erasers. This makes a rather nice soft line and I like the idea of drawing with an eraser.

This subject appealed to my perverse sense of humour.

    Thanks Paul, picture received today.
    The ultimate trifecta is that I bought the picture.
