In this watercolor portrait class, you are going to learn how to paint a realistic eye step-by-step.

To get started in portrait painting, we will practice recreating the impression of realistic skin with a fun and simple sphere exercise.

Then, we will paint an eye using only two colors so you can better focus and get used to the process of realistic portrait painting with watercolors.

You will learn to :

• Mix the right consistency of paint for portrait
• Paint in layers with watercolor
• Use techniques to achieve the impression of smooth skin.
• Add fine strokes and details for realism.
• Use white gouache to create highlights in a portrait.

This class is best suited to intermediate watercolor students who desire to learn new techniques and dive into watercolor portrait painting.

Each lesson is real time. The exercise is an opportunity to practice and gather the confidence to paint realistic skin without the details. With the project, you will be able to implement what you learned and take your skills a step further with more realism techniques and a finished eye painting.

Join me to paint this realistic watercolor eye. All you need are basic watercolor supplies so don't wait any longer and dive into the world of portrait painting !
