Experience the joys of painting portraits with vibrant skin colors using five of six transparent colors in watercolor. Paint along with me or bring you own photograph. When painting portraits we are painting the shadows and good values are important. If you bring your own, they need to have been taken with good lighting. It is best to paint a picture with lighting on at least one third of the face and good shadows on the remaining portion of the face. Lighting from flashbulbs will light the face unnaturally and lighting from above (in noonday sun) or lighting below the face is not flattering.
