Learn to break down the values into just 3-value groups to simplify your watercolour portrait painting process!

Watercolour can be a pretty challenging and unforgiving medium, even for more advanced artists. My latest class, Easy Watercolour Portraits: My 3-Value Group Method!, is all about my approach of breaking down the values to just 3 major value groups to build up my portraits. There's really no secret or trick behind it; I break down the values to the shadows, the mid-tones, and the highlights.

In this class, I share exactly how I break down the features of the face (eyes, nose, lips) into these 3 groups of values, and show step-by-step, how I build up the portrait in paint through several real-time demos. The 1-hr long, full portrait demo shows how to put all lessons in the class together to create a beautiful, sophisticated watercolour portrait, sharing tons of tips along the way. My goal for this class is to help make painting portraits in watercolours less daunting and more approachable for students of all skill levels!
