How I Start A Watercolor Portrait

Описание: This clip is from a class demonstration I gave about painting portraits in watercolor. After laying in the underlying flesh colors with subtle "color zone" variations (see this video: ) I demonstrate the next stage of development. Working from a black and white source photo I identify structural landmarks and edges where light and dark values meet. The clip ends with still shots of further development to a completed painting.
