Description
Portrait Painting with Watercolorw/Michael AdamsMarch 6, 202710:00AM - 4:00pmPainting a portrait, particularly of a loved one or friend... carries with it, a lot of pressure and expectation. It is challenging because you want to be complimentary and reflect their personality. Working from photographs can be difficult, but don’t have to be a slave to your image. I will show you various strategies for using references and inspiration to be creative and personalize your painting.
Demonstrations will include wet-on-dry and wet-into wet techniques using multi-layered washes to achieve light and form. Also, controlled puddle washes for single color or gradated background washes. The process will consist of cleaning up the drawing, painting the background, underpainting, layering (glazing) and detail work.
Artists will be required to have your portrait drawn out on watercolor paper to paint for the remainder of the day. I will send everyone an optional materials list and details ahead of the workshop date.
