If you struggle with figuring out what colours to use for mixing skin tones, then this class is for you.
This class goes through the basics of watercolours, aiming at simplifying portrait painting, and sharing techniques that are suitable for stylised characters.

<ul><li>How to select the colours for mixing skin tones</li>
<li>Watercolour layering techniques to build portrait paintings</li>
<li>Watercolour effects for skin textures and vibrant hair</li>
<li>Tips for creating a portrait with multiple people</li>
<li>How to transfer sketches onto watercolour paper</li>
