As part of my final for my drawing II class, I'm painting a watercolor portrait of Czar Nicholas II because everyone knows how much I love him. We have to create 3-6 pieces of artwork reflecting something "vintage", like from 1900 to 1989.

Here is a comparison with the photo I'm basing my work off of. I won't have time to finish it if I attempt to paint all the epaulets, (it's taken me three hours to do only the face and should piece) so I'll have to simplify it quite a bit.
