Join watercolour artist Amanda Webster for this 2-3hr workshop webinar to learn how to paint effective portraits. You can also use one of your own, should you wish. ** Details below ** Broadcast live from England on 14 June 2022.
**See Reference photo and recommended materials below**
SUMMARY
In this workshop, Amanda will demonstrate how to draw the face, how to start, how to relate distances between the features, achieving a likeness in pencil, ready for painting in watercolours.
Next you will learn how to apply a medium tone of paint to the features, then overlay coloured washes to achieve skin tone. Finally, touches of white gouache will be applied to the lights of the eyes if necessary.
Anyone is welcome to use their own photo reference or one from Amanda. See below.
Mid-workshop, we will take time to take a look at your own sketches/paintings for review and comment from Amanda (should you wish to share).
