Watercolor Class- one color portraits
Learning to paint faces (and almost everything else) is easier if you leave color mixing out of it. For this watercolor lesson, the next step after Coloring Book Portraits, we again painted using one color in different values.

Wow, you have some very talented students! I love this exercise and might have to try this one. Thanks for explaining your lessons here!
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteThese really are wonderful! I like to draw upside down sometimes, too. It's pretty amazing what happens. nancy
ReplyDeleteFull of talents being displayed here. I am thinking of what to draw... I'd like to do something with SuperBowl I guess...since it's like an epidemic here in Louisiana ^^
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! I've been struggling with Grazia. My pencil study wasn't correct, and I've got to loosen up. This will do the trick, I think (and hope).
