Painting Watercolor Portraits: A Simple Approach From Photo to Finish

Jan Kunz shows you every tip and shortcut she has to help you get a portrait you can be proud of. Jan starts with an information-rich photograph, and demonstrates all the steps you'll need for success: drawing and sculpting facial planes to help ensure a likeness; use of photocopies to access value patterns; getting your value shifts right, using Jan's “40 % rule” choosing color mixtures for skin; painting a mouth and teeth that look right; placing the final crevice darks to bring your painting to life; and integrating the whole painting with background colors. This workshop will save any painter years of trial and error with a difficult subject.
