Watercolour Portraits

Course info

About the course

We begin this journey into portraiture with a feeling for structure and proportion of the head, tone, and colour. With this base, we turn toward more interpretative approaches: loose, wet-on-wet sketches, transparent layers, and washes. A special focus will be placed on watercolour palettes, to achieve luminous flesh tones and rich shadows. We will work with both models and photographs. Prerequisite: one sessions of watercolour and one session of portrait drawing.
