I'm Darren from Watercolour Mentor and welcome to 'How to Paint Watercolor Portraits'!
Portrait painting is challenging! Especially challenging for beginners. By the end of this class, you will be able to easily turn any photograph into a realistic portrait with my portrait painting process and be able to show off your vibrant portraits to your friends and family!
I'm going to simplify the portrait painting process for you by showing you:
This is a feature packed class, and I have included many demonstrations to provide you more opportunities to learn how to paint different subjects.
So if you're ready to boost your portraiture skills, join me in this class and let's have some fun!
Demonstration Paintings covered in this class:
Part 1:
Pick two or more of the portraits shown in this class, and try to paint each portrait demonstrated by following along with the demonstration. Try to spend as much time as possible on the drawing until you are happy with how it looks. If you're feeling adventurous, how about changing some of the facial features or trying some different color combinations?
Part 2:
Find a reference photograph of a person whom you'd like to paint - consider trying to paint a family member or a loved one as you will be more familiar with their facial details and feel a personal connection towards the subject. Using the techniques and processes shown in this class, transfer the reference photo over to your sketchbook or watercolor paper, and paint with watercolor. Upload your project to this class! I will provide feedback and answer any questions posted in the discussions and projects.
Note: my scanned paintings, pencil sketches and original reference photos are attached below.
