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:
1. pixabay.com/photos/man-portra...
2. pixabay.com/photos/face-high-...
3. pixabay.com/photos/woman-girl...

I hope you find this video useful! 😊🙏🏼

    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.

    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.
