This step-by-step beginners’ workshop explores the “how-to-do” of watercolor portraits. Using photographic references, we’ll look at the different brush techniques, facial features, skin tones, and application of light to dark values within its soft or hard edges. Connecting the portrait’s shapes and composition,  the finished painting can offer exciting life to the image’s personality.
