Strathmore Artist Papers's video: Watercolor Portrait Tutorial

From the Strathmore 2018 Online Workshops, follow along to Kelly Eddington's lesson 4 tutorial on realistic watercolor painting: Practicing Facial Features REFERENCE PHOTO AND PRINTABLE INSTRUCTIONS: https://www.strathmoreartiststudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Week-4-Instruction-Sheets-Workshop-1-2018-Realistic-Watercolor.pdf We’ll use skills learned in Week 3’s workshop to paint a limited-palette watercolor portrait using your choice of colors. After drawing a pencil outline of our subject’s main features, we will use masking fluid to establish highlights. Then comes the fun part: we will coat the entire sheet of paper with several analogous colors. Once that is dry, we will work on the features using a darker color. This colorful twist on an old-school exercise is popular for a reason: it makes portrait painting a lot less intimidating.
