How to Paint Portraits in Watercolor: Sketching, Abstracts & More

I am so excited to announce this! I’ve been fascinated by portraits for as long as I can remember. Seriously, anytime I'm at an art gallery or museum, I usually stand in front of the portraits, observing ALL the details and creative style of the artist, whether large, expressive ones or simple sketches found in glass enclosures in the museum.

In 2023, I participated in the #100daychallenge and challenged myself to draw portraits for 100 days. I fell in LOVE with the practice & art of portrait painting!

If you’re like me, admire portrait paintings, and are curious about creating your own, I have special news for you!

Portraits Made Simple: Create Your Own Watercolor Portraits

I've been studying how to paint portraits for years now. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll see my many pictures and reels of portrait sketching posts.

After completing the 100-day challenge, I found my love for learning to sketch the human face and anatomy. Although I wouldn’t call myself a pro at portrait sketching, I’ve found what works for me.

Sometimes, I work from photo references, and sometimes, I don’t, but every time I sit down and create a portrait, I learn something new.

I'm ready to share everything I've learned inside Portraits Made Simple!

This class will focus on 3 of my favorite techniques for developing simple, effective, and easy-to-do portraits once you get the process down.

I’ll explain how I sketch and paint my own portraits, how you can sketch and paint portraits in your own style, and how I found my style through painting portraits.

Think of this as any of my other Made Simple classes. You’ll be given the tools and techniques to help you learn and sketch any portrait. And, of course, I’ll walk you through my own portrait collection and some of my favorites,

This class is available at a discounted rate for students who join in the next two weeks. I hope you can take advantage of this early access deal, and I look forward to seeing you in class! The sale ends on July 8, 2024.
