In this informative workshop, Renato will walk you through how to successfully paint watercolour figures. It will commence by walking you through his drawing guidelines where you will be taught about composition, human proportions and how to create expressions. Then, the painting process will teach you how to put together three layers of your painting: the first preserving light and giving mood to the scene, the second defining the main shapes and planes and lastly a layer for detail and highest contrasts.
