In this class I will be showing you how to make a watercolour painting based on a photograph. I am hoping to provide the tools for creatives of all levels to learn and develop their watercolour skills, by starting at the very beginning, offering a couple of techniques to get your photo to your paper, and then going through all the steps to create an expressive portrait in watercolour.
I will be taking you through the materials we will need, how to find your image, some basics about the human face and also about watercolour, and we will then be practicing working with the technique. Subsequently we will look in depth at the steps to create a watercolour portrait, covering each section of the face one by one. We will also be using graphite pencil as a tool to help us get expression and contrast in our painting, but we want it to stay in the background, as first and foremost we want the watercolour to be the protagonist.
