Shadow portrait attempt:

This is a shadow face portrait. Quite honestly, I haven't worked with shadows on a portrait, but for now, I hope I can get better at it in the future!  Anyways, to make this I used shades of pink, red, brown, and blue watercolor. On one half of the face I used dark blues to create a shadow effect for the eyes, lips, and nose.  I learned how to prevent the paint from bleeding through the paper with controlled and steady brush strokes. This picture appears peaceful and content.
