Perfect for beginners or more experienced painters alike.
Join me for a day of painting people in watercolour.
Painting people can feel a little intimidating, but it's actually a huge amount of fun. With a few pointers and a little shift in mindset it doesn't have to be any harder than any other subject!
Starting with a few tips and a couple of warmup exercises, we will then move into painting a more pulled back figure in the morning. By this I mean most of the figure in the painting but still relatively closeup - think musician, child playing on the beach, person in market place etc.
In the afternoon we will focus on a full face; but not a "formal" portrait attempting an exact likeness, rather a fun and expressive capture of a face. No pressure for a likeness but rather focus on capturing a face in watercolour whilst having fun doing so!!
In both cases I will talk you through some very simple and easy to apply ideas and a simple process to get great results.
I hope this day will set you up in feeling a little more confident to paint people moving forward!
The general format of the day will be quick demos from myself, followed by attendees guided painting,
Follow my demos, bring your own photos, or a mixture of both.
