Hi and Welcome to Painting Faces In Watercolor: Fun Sketching Exercises!
Faces and portraits are one of the most challenging subjects for beginners and advanced painters alike. In this course, we’re going to take the pressure off and work on understanding basic facial anatomy and create some quick and expressive sketches of some watercolor faces.
By the end of this course, you will be able to turn a reference photo into a portrait sketch, and feel more confident in understanding how to use layering techniques efficiently to paint skin tones, shadows and facial details.
Although we’ll be using a variety of reference photos, the aim of this course is not complete accuracy but rather an understanding of how to create quick impressions of a subject via sketching in pencil and watercolor.
This is a feature-packed course, and I have included many demonstrations to provide you with more opportunities to learn how to paint different subjects.
Join me in this course and let’s get painting!
