Continuing Watercolor (March and April 2014)

I worked on the hat adding pattern and texture.  It needs some more value work.  I worked on the background a bit showing options.  I cleaned up the edges of the bike and started adding shadows to make it have form.  I added a blueish shadow to the jacket and started adding seams (which need more work...).  I worked on the hair and the face (wow does the face need help still...). 

I am using a dark (indigo and burnt sienna) and cobalt to paint a value study.  I plan to add the sky on top in order to blur it a bit.  I may add the lines with a very sharp watercolor pencil.  Usually use a brush but think this might be easier.
