Gouache portrait for beginners

In this class I will teach you how to paint a gouache portrait step by step.
We will work from a photo reference, that is enclosed in the project and resource section. 

I will explain the basics of a standard face so we can learn how to place the facial features accurately

After that, we will draw our portrait from the reference photo 

We will then build our portrait layer by layer, adding details and refining colors and values  

At the end of the class you’ll be able to paint a gouache portrait from a reference photo in realistic colors.
