Paint Expressive Human Figures in Watercolor

via Skillshare

Overview

Welcome to my Human Figures Watercolor Class! We will paint 2 interesting subjects- 1. Lady in Sunflower Field and 2. Couple by the Wooden Terrace.

Today we’ll discover the joy of painting Human Figures in watercolor. I really like drawing people because each image has its unique story to tell. Painting them is like capturing memories and emotions in a more intimate way.

Today I'll share some secrets on how not to be afraid to portray figures, how to easily sketch and turn simple sketches to a creative watercolor work.

We will start the class with important theories about sketching. I will share the techniques on how to easily sketch a human figure that will help you overcome your fear in drawing.  I will also teach you how to sketch the human figure based on our reference photo.

 Second, I will share the easy way to mix colors for hair and skin tones and show you a step by step process with detailed instruction on how to achieve an atmospheric human figure painting using a very limited color palette. By the end of the lesson, I aim to help you gain confidence in sketching and painting people.

This will be one interesting and exciting subject to paint and I cant wait to see you in class!
