Course Description:

The representation of a human will always stay a big challenge for the watercolorist. This course includes a plethora of essential skills to feel confident in working on portraits. We’ll study color mixes, from the basic combinations of skin tones to complex color gradients to convey the intended emotion. We'll learn the rules of composition to ensure our watercolors are filled with atmosphere and dynamism. Special attention will be paid to building character, considering proportions and conveying emotion.

The course includes work on simple, light sketches as well as long, complex projects with a strong focus on detail.

Beyond the basics, this course is packed with unique techniques and personal insights gathered through years of hands-on practice. Expect insider tips, creative approaches, and time-tested methods that will elevate your watercolor to a professional level.

By the end of this course, you'll learn to paint portraits mindfully and easily, preserving the freshness of watercolor and the individuality of the model, whether it's a quick sketch or a more in-depth work and you’ll learn to choose the right techniques according to the task at hand.
