Portrait Repair

Here is an example of a painting that needed some help. I started this in watercolor and loved most of it.(first picture) But I'd started this not knowing that this surface would not lift. (It was Arches board). I had used miskit on the hair, and did not like the effect, and could not lift it off.
Someone suggested doing the hair with pastels, which I'd never tried before. So I did.
 (second picture)

I am pretty happy with the result now. My youngest grandson. 







Note pastel used on hair and some of the green shirt.
