Portraits in Watercolor Part 1 - Independant study

This course is little different than traditional portrait painting, here you will learn it's not just about depicting only the face, head and shoulders of our subject, it's also about capturing personality, with the focus is on skill building, so you will be able to paint your own portraits.

What you will learn using my looser painting style, is how not to get caught in the need of being perfect, rather using any of those so called mistakes to your advantage and how to translate them to give our subjects more character and life.
