2026 Self‑Portrait Challenge, Week 1 Take 2 is all about starting fresh. For this second attempt, I decided to create a new version of the portrait — this time focusing only on myself as the subject and painting it entirely in watercolour.
In this video, I talk about what it felt like to sketch a portrait freehand again. It’s been a long time since I’ve drawn without using carbon paper to trace the initial outline, so this was a real return to fundamentals. Filming the process also turned out to be incredibly useful. Just like athletes who rewatch their performance to improve, reviewing my own footage helps me see where I can adjust, refine, or rethink my approach.
I also share some thoughts on the rhythm of watercolour — how it demands that you be fast and patient at the same time, responding quickly to the paint while still giving it space to settle and do its thing.
At the end of the video, I show both versions of the Week 1 portrait.
I’d love to know which one you prefer! 😌
