Watercolor Portrait Workshop

If you’ve ever wished that you could spend a few hours learning from the best watercolor painters in the world, this art instruction video was definitely designed for you. In this watercolor instruction DVD, master teacher Susan Harrison-Tustain invites you into her private New Zealand studio for over three hours of one-on-one demonstrations and advice about how to create vibrant, lively portraits in watercolor. In this watercolor painting workshop, Harrison-Tustain begins with stretched hot press Arches watercolor paper and demonstrates one of her favorite ways to begin a painting with a light wash of yellow color. If you’ve been introduced to Harrison-Tustain’s teaching style before, you already know that her demonstrations are highlighted by evenly-paced instruction and advice. She’s sure to fully explain each section of the painting as its being created, and never moves on to another area of study until each step is secure. Watch as Harrison-Tustain divides her painting of a young lady in a hat into background, skin, eyes, lips, hair, earrings, hat and dress. Students will benefit greatly as she demonstrates her process for mixing delicate colors, and then applies them sparingly to her area of focus. As a result, students will be able to achieve the end result of a watercolor painting with photo-like realism. As an added bonus, those who purchase this watercolor instruction DVD will receive access to a printable list of Harrison-Tustain’s materials and color palette, as will as a printable copy of her reference image, line drawing, and the final painting.
