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.

I like Michael since he is a calm man and very understanding person. And there is so much information here that I watched the recording several times to absorb it all!

Lots of exercises, always correcting, demonstrating, and giving feedback on our homeworks. All of it makes this class great and its contents are mandatory. I regret not taking it sooner.

An inspiring teacher who doesn’t just explain technique, but helps you truly feel the medium and believe in yourself. After the courses, I understand much better what I’m doing and why, and I feel far more confident overall.
