Paint beautiful watercolor portraits: Painting realistic eyes is so much fun and can really level up your portraits - in this class, we'll paint both light and dark skin as well as go over basic watercolor techniques.

Whether you're a beginner or experienced with watercolors, I hope you'll join me in this class, if you want to improve on painting realistic portraits.

We'll do a few exercises and warm-ups, going through a few of the basic watercolor techniques used for painting and blending realistic skin, take a look at how to use gouache in your watercolor paintings to help enhance your work or to fix mistakes - and we'll practice layering before moving on to the more detailed eyes.

This is just about practicing and improving your own techniques and approach to painting. We're going to keep a relaxed mindset - don't worry about making mistakes, it's an opportunity to learn!

In this class I'll take you through;

- Supplies and materials needed.

- A few basic techniques such as flat washes and blending (wet in wet and wet on dry)

- How to use gouache in your watercolor paintings.

- A simple study that'll allow us to practice layering/glazing and getting familiar with our color palettes.

- Basic anatomy of an eye

- 2 realistic eye paintings/studies - one with light, and one with dark skin.

This is the fourth class in my watercolor portrait series. You may benefit from having watched some of my previous classes (the introduction going through the entire process, sketching & color mixing).

You'll be able to find the references used, as well as my sketches (if you don't feel like creating your own) in the projects & resources tab.

So if you're interested in learning how to paint realistic watercolor portraits, I hope you'll join me in this class!

You can also check out my class on watercolor fundamentals - where we'll go through a lot of the basic techniques, like paint consistency, water control, glazing, blending and lifting.
