The first part of the day will be spent learning how to mix colours to represent realistic skin tones, and the various techniques that can be applied when striving for a likeness in a watercolour portrait. We will examine shadows and lighting, and how these can be used to dramatic effect. As well as painting portraits in a traditional style, later in the day we will be experimenting with more contemporary approaches to painting portraits, and the chance to experiment with some slightly less conventional techniques and colour combinations. You will be encouraged to paint in a loose and lively way. We will be painting from photographs and all reference material will be provided, but please feel free to bring in any images that you might like to paint. A course for those with some experience of watercolour painting.
