Learn to Paint Lifelike Portraits in 48 Easy Lessons

Hiroko Shibasaki

Description

Japanese Style Watercolor Portraits takes you through each step of the watercolour portrait process, from sketching your subject to layering in the colours and rendering the fine details. Author Hiroko Shibasaki provides expert guidance on the best materials to use along with many insightful tips that every artist should know.

The portraits presented in the 12 comprehensive painting tutorials express a distinctively Japanese aesthetic. The subjects in the foreground are rendered in exquisite detail, while the backgrounds are only subtly suggested. This technique places the emphasis on the masterful portraits, leaving it to the viewer's imagination to fill in the peripheral details.

The lessons include:

  • Working with a model
  • Completing the sketch
  • Preparing and mixing paints
  • Blocking in skin tones
  • Rendering details such as facial features, hairstyles and clothing
  • Blending and shading the colours
  • And much more!
