In this video I'll show you the EASIEST approach and process for practicing portrait painting in watercolor.
Despite what many think, portrait painting doesn't have to be extremely challenging, as long as you:
1. Choose great reference photos (high contrast, clear values)
2. Focus on drawing the ABSTRACT SHAPES you see
3. Work in perhaps 1-2 values, and monochromatically.
Here are links to the reference photos for this one, plus 2 more I think you'll find great for this:

I hope you find this video useful! 😊🙏🏼

Darn, that was a convincing demonstration. It’s all about the shape.
I loved this demonstration, it really teaches you to train your eyes to only see the subject as a series of positive and negative values.
Effective reminder that portraits shouldn't be so intimidating. You're so good at this!

Oh thank you so so much ☺️☺️ I’m so happy I can help
Loved this video . Definitely going to try it. Thanks.
Loved this tutorial thank you
Wow! This is awesome. I have been avoiding portraits because they scare me like you said. This is such a good tip, especially if you just focus on the shapes, you won't be freaking out because it is supposed to be a face. I love this. Thanks! I will be trying this soon!
This is brilliant!!!! I’m going to try this,, thanks Liron
Great demo. Thank you! I teach this method to my drawing students. Trying to simplify shapes based on tones and values. Trying to do that more as well because I come from painting photo-realistic environments for film and tv…So used to painting every detail but there is something so amazing about an artist that can combine shapes so beautifully.
Your video subjects and teaching is by far the best on youtube. Your painting quality is getting way up there dude.
