Finally Feel Confident Painting Portraits: Portraits Made Simple + Exclusive Live Painting Session
If you’ve ever admired a beautifully crafted portrait in a gallery and thought, “I wish I could do that,” you’re not alone. Portrait painting can seem like a daunting challenge, especially if you’re just starting out. But what if I told you that mastering the art of portrait painting is something you can achieve, even without any prior experience?
In this post, I’m going to share how you can finally feel confident painting portraits, regardless of your experience or artistic background.
Why Portrait Painting?
Portraits have always fascinated me. There’s something incredibly captivating about the way artists can capture the essence of their subjects–the details, emotions, and personality that come through in a well-executed portrait. Every time I visit an art exhibit, I find myself drawn to the portraits first, marveling at the skill and creativity on display.
My own journey into portrait painting was long and filled with challenges. I spent years learning through in-person classes, online tutorials, and countless books. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. Now, I want to share what I’ve learned with you so you can avoid the struggles I faced and start creating portraits you’re proud of.
Introducing: Portraits Made Simple
Portraits Made Simple is a comprehensive course designed specifically for all skill levels who want to learn the art of portrait painting. What sets this course apart is its focus on helping you develop your own creative style, rather than simply mimicking the techniques I will teach.
Here’s what you can expect to learn:
Confidently Sketch & Map Faces: You’ll learn multiple approaches to sketching and mapping faces, giving you the flexibility to find what works best for you.
Master Facial Features: Understanding how to draw the eyes, nose, mouth, and ears is crucial in portrait painting. This course will guide you through each feature with clarity and precision.
Add Color with Watercolors: Adding color to your portraits can be intimidating, but it doesn’t have to be. You’ll learn how to use watercolors to bring your sketches to life, creating depth and vibrancy.
Choosing the Right Reference Photos: The quality of your reference photo can make or break your portrait. I’ll show you what to look for in a reference image to ensure your portraits turn out beautifully.
Mixing Watercolor Paint for Tonal Value: Get comfortable with mixing watercolor paints to add tonal value and color, making your portraits more dynamic and realistic.
Practice Techniques for Growth: Finally, I’ll share the best ways to practice portrait painting to keep you from getting stuck and help you grow your confidence.
Why This Course is Different
Many portrait painting classes teach you a single method or style, leaving little room for personal expression. Portraits Made Simple is different. In this course, I will introduce you to my 3 favorite approaches to portrait painting. These techniques are designed to help you explore and develop your own style, so you can create portraits that are uniquely yours.
