What is this workshop all about?

Painting people in watercolor can be tricky, especially if you are trying to achieve a relatively good likeness.

There are several things that will help you in the process, but the three most important are planning, control and understanding how to represent light and shadow convincingly.

In this Watercolor Mastery Workshop our focus is on watercolor portraits. I'll be sharing with you all of the essential information you'll need to know to be able to paint beautiful and convincing portraits of your own.

Here's just some of what we'll be covering...

*How to turn the form with color instead of value for a more interesting and beautiful portrait.

*How to have ultimate and predictable control over over the medium when you need it most.
*How selecting the right tools for the job will make or break your painting.
*What the best colors are to represent different types of skin tone.
*Quick and easy facial anatomy that you can use as reference for every future portrait.
*The importance of simplified backgrounds and how to use them to your advantage.

*Easy to remember portrait composition.

*How to apply the "6 Simple Steps to Any Watercolor" to all of your portraits.

And so much more!

Then, we will apply everything we learn to a guided step-by-step demonstration of the painting shown below. As we go from step to step, we'll discuss the techniques and concepts we learned and how they directly relate to this painting.

This is definitely a watercolor workshop you will not want to miss.

This workshop is approximately 3.5 hours long.

FAQ

Watercolor is a type of painting created by mixing colored pigments or pan paints with water in a tray palette. Using a paintbrush, the translucent paint mixture is then applied directly onto a textured, cold-pressed piece of paper. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned artist, watercolor painting is a great skill to learn!

Simple and easy! Watercolor painting is an amazing skill that can be learned relatively quickly. You can even learn the basic fundamentals and techniques of watercolor and start painting within a few weeks!

David J. Rogers uses the terminology: "tea", "one -percent", "two-percent", and "cream" to refer to the consistency of your paint mixture. This simple analogy David uses refers to a 1% milk consistency, 2% milk consistency, tea consistency, and cream consistency when determining the thickness of your paint.
