Joyful Watercolor / Finding Your Style – Lesson 4: Watercolor Self Portrait

Description

Join the Joyful Watercolor / Finding Your Style workshop with instructor Shayda Campbell! In this joyful and inspirational 4-part series focused on both watercolour education and play, students will fill the pages of a watercolour sketchbook with practice illustrations, floral compositions, watercolour techniques, and finished pieces.

Lesson 4: Watercolor Self Portrait

Small Choices, Big Style
In this video lesson we will paint a watercolor self portrait! When it comes to painting and illustrating people, there are so many decisions to make! How do you draw eyes? Are they detailed and expressive with perfectly placed pupils, or tiny black dots just sitting alongside the nose? Once again, we will use watercolor paints to create an illustration full of joy and whimsy and we’ll take note of the choices we make along the way, that especially in a self portrait, can contain an ocean of depth, meaning, and of course, style.
