this is excellant, it looks like you did it with chalk pastels, that can't be easy to achieve with water colors

Watercolours don't fight, but they can run ahead without you.

That is one of my favourite scriptures.
I think I want to see the red behind his hands darkened a little (more like a shadow), otherwise it kind of detracts from the prints in his hands.
Anyways, your use of watercolours is beautiful.

Thank you for your comment! I agree about the red, but I don't think I could've gone over it again.
