Black + White Watercolor Portraits

Class Information

Values in all paintings are important. Challenge yourself to paint a watercolor portrait in black & white. Prior to adding that splash of paint to the paper, we’ll note the shifts from light to dark, better assuring a more pleasant outcome.   First, we’ll sketch (or trace) the portrait followed by a light wash to establish light values.  This is followed by a darker wash to establish shadows.  Finally, details are added.  The result will be a pleasant surprise.  All artistic levels are welcome!
