Watercolor Portraits Workshop with Tara Sweeney

About this event

This class runs Fri, Sept 18-Sun, Sept 20, 10 am-4 pm each day. Paint a glowing watercolor portrait in this three-day workshop with artist Tara Sweeney. Students will work from a photo reference to create a three-layer monochromatic value study and then a full color painting in a four-value, hold-the-white approach to transparent watercolor. Students will build confidence as they explore split-primary color mixing, wet-into-wet mingling, transparent layering, intentional edges, and lively brushwork with playful warm up exercises, expert support, and individualized feedback. Following along with the instructor, step-by-step, students will develop foundational skills for painting watercolor portraits. Additional information: Advanced registration required. Materials: This class works in tube watercolor paints, not hard pan or travel palettes. Students provide their own materials for this class; click here to download the materials list. Prerequisites: Skill level: This workshop welcomes students with some previous watercolor experience; most students will find it helpful to have previously worked with a three-layer value study and explored a split-primary palette. Ages: Suitable for ages 18+.
