Capturing Light in Watercolor Portrait Painting

Capturing Light in Watercolor Portrait Painting



Learn the “watercolor techniques” and “watercolor process” I used to capture sunlight in this “realistic watercolor portrait painting” of a beautiful woman. Trust the process, as the painting is going to look more realistic after each layer. If you want to give it a try, please use the reference photo below.

    Your work is excellent. I really love watercolor painting; I used to do it 21 years ago, but I haven't painted since then. Unfortunately, if you don't practice watercolor, you lose the knack for it. Seeing your painting took me right back to those days. Thank you again for your work—it was wonderful.❤
