How to paint compelling watercolor portraits

Hi arties, I know how scary it can be to approach a portrait, but don’t get scared! Watercolour is based on water, which is tricky to control. But that uncertainty allows us to create even more emotions with our painting. The most important In any painting is the knowledge of tonal values, and knowledge of light, its colour and properties.

I, being a watercolour artist for more than 7 years have gathered enough techniques and tips and have finally made a course that will fit learners at all levels. 

In this course, I will break down the steps on bite-size chunks so you can also start your projects with me and will progress immensely after this course completion.

You will learn how to mix colours, preparing swatches for your subject, obtaining different tones. I will then teach you from adding your first layers to building it towards a complete detailed piece. 

Overall, I take you through my thought process in making a visually compelling art piece.
