Hi Scottie, at 15:13 when there was a pool of watercolor by her neck, did you leave it or did you sop it up with a dry brush before you used the hair dryer?

Wow! Nice!! Thanks for including that tutorial. I really appreciate it. I’m going to try it.

That was a good one, Scottie, thanks. I especially appreciated your adding the dimensions to the portrait; very helpful. I've got to get my hands on an Australian hairdryer! I live in Japan, so of course mine is a Panasonic, but it takes me a couple of minutes to get my washes dry, whereas yours are parched within 2 to 3 seconds! 😂

Thanks for the tutorial Scottie, enjoyed practicing! : )

Thank you for doing this one. I am a dark skinned African American woman with curly hair. This will help me to do self-portraits. It came out really poorly. But I'll post it anyway.
