The Happy Rizzi House
This is not watercolor, but a great way to celebrate the inclusion of art in all aspects of our life.

Seeing It Simple
Portraying people, whether it's a portrait or a figure study,  can be daunting for any artist if you are not used to it. Indeed it can be tricky, but no more than attempting a still life, landscape or animal if you don’t know what you are doing. The key is like many things in art - simplification - whether it be the features or the body itself.
Breaking the face or body down into simple blocks or shapes will make it much easier to judge proportions and give you a flying start on your drawing, before you have to consider adding colour.  For example,  here is a useful little chart to get you started on a basic portrait.
