Want to improve your portrait paintings and create more realistic, expressive eyes in watercolor? 👀🖌️
In this step-by-step live watercolor class, I’ll guide you through my complete painting process for a set of luminous, realistic eyes while sharing the techniques, artistic decisions, and thought process that help create depth, dimension, softness, and lifelike detail.
Throughout the session, we’ll practice essential watercolor techniques while also focusing on important portrait concepts like eye anatomy, value relationships, edges, color mixing, and layering. This class is also a fantastic opportunity to practice mixing believable skin tones and learning how subtle shifts in color and value can bring facial features to life.
Practicing facial features in isolation is one of the best ways to improve portrait work because it allows us to slow down and better understand structure, proportions, anatomy, and the smaller details that make portraits feel believable and expressive.
Whether you’re looking to improve your watercolor realism, gain more confidence painting portraits, or better understand how to paint eyes with depth and luminosity, I hope you’ll enjoy painting along with me! ✨🎨
