Overview

Learn how to create a tonal portrait using watercolour with professional artist Liz Chaderton

Details

What makes a great portrait? Of course, we expect there to be a likeness, but a great portrait is a celebration of the person while also reflecting the character of the painter.
The aim of this series of webinars is to be contemporary and joyful. These are not portraits to hang in museums, but will help the artist capture the faces and character of family and friends, or people they encounter every day, using watercolour.

Drawing a likeness and painting a lively portrait are two different skill sets, and we will be concentrating on the painting techniques. This webinar will outline how to use technology and aids to transfer facial contours to paper and then explore the tonal map of the face in a simple but striking portrait. Some knowledge of watercolour is assumed.

This recording was taken from Liz Chaderton's tonal portrait webinar on 13/09/2023

In this webinar, you will learn...

  • How building confidence in painting skills will help you master drawing a likeness later
  • Painting in watercolour is about painting the shadows not the highlights
  • Finding interconnected shapes and shadow in the face
  • Understanding how little information can give a likeness
  • Understanding the mass tone of a colour
  • Working wet in wet
  • Hard and soft edges and and how to soften edges

This image is an example of what you can create and may not be the subject in the actual webinar
