warmth in watercolour

This sketch of bowtie is quiet old, it got caught up in my unscanned backlog.... but i love the warmth of the colours... notice there is hardly any skin tone in this one.. i had become pre occupied with the light, the shadows and her she but glowing personaility... so i let the colours of the shadows & highlights take over... watercolour is quiet an amazing medium
