Watercolor Portrait Workshop

...with Susan Harrison-Tustain

How-To Video: Watercolor Portrait Workshop by Susan Harrison-Tustain 5_bulb Review this video!

instructional style is very similar to her approach in the watercolor floral painting DVD workshop. It is paced, methodical and insures that each step is secure before moving on to the next area of study. She divides her painting into background, skin, eyes, lips, hair, earrings, hat and dress. Near the end she reviews the painting to spot and make corrections. Susan works on stretched hot press Arches watercolor paper and frequently begins painting in an area after having applied a light wash of yellow. She mixes delicate colors in a glass deviled egg dish and then with a controlled hand, sparingly applies color to her area of focus. The end result is a watercolor painting of photo-like realism. The DVD contains a printable list of Susan's materials and color selection. Also printable is her original reference image, her line drawing, and a copy of the final painting. Also, you get a taste of the Australian locals when her video camera wanders to the back yard to show the flock of song thrushes making themselves heard. Tustain's workshop is filmed using a single camera and ambient lighting.
