Please add name to Wait List on their Webpage, I will contact you for the next class!
This workshop is for those who love watercolor painted portraits, have basic watercolor skills, and supplies. This is not a VERY beginner watercolor class nor is it a class on how to draw portraits. I will l focus on techniques of applying thin washes using various colors to attain believable luminous flesh colors, painting hair, fabric, and backgrounds. Also tips/tricks to confidently get a portrait on paper (transfer or trace), even if you do not consider yourself a portrait artist.
Other techniques will include shading with charcoal to hone the concept of layers. At first you will paint along with me on the image I provide, later you will paint your subject(s).
You will be able to leave your supplies overnight for the next day!!
To maximize lesson time in class and learn/review some basics, I will provide information to read/watch and print out before the first class. You will need a device able to view PDF files, YouTubes, and articles from my webpage. (Let me know if you do not have a printer)

Summary Note: Each student will own a wide range of supplies. This list is long and detailed. The big take-away is you MUST have 100% cotton paper (Arches, or equivalent, see UMD Bookstore or Hobby Lobby). I will have some paint and brushes to use. I have some palettes with artist quality paints to purchase.
