WaterColor Portrait of Aquaman

Hello everyone ,
I'm back with another work of mine. Its a portrait painting of a DC character Aquaman which is acted by Jason Mamoa

Starting with the base colors the sky, water , and the body of the character was done . For both sky and water cobalt blue was used as the ligher shades. Then pursian blue and a mixture of cobalt blue and light green was applied to the sky to build up the intensity and layers . As for the water a mid tone in blue called Cerulean Blue was used and for the draker shades Pursian blue with a little touch of Black was used.For the water i used sprinkling technique to create the droplets of the water in the white shade and a mix of white and Cerulean Blue is used of the base of splashing water

For the face , I started with yellowish tone of the skin then went on adding the draker shadow tones in burnt umber and raw umber . and then for the mid tone it was a mixture of Deep green , yellow ocher and a little bit of black.

For rest of the body shades of brown , yellow ocher , and combination of deepgreen and black was used. Some final touches has been done with color pencils. Finally the highlights has been applied with white paint and color pencil

So this the steps i used for creating the painting. And here is the reference pictures i used .

Hope u like it.
