PART III: LAYERING UP COLOURS

SUMMARY

Layering up colour, we will start to develop the form with blended colour. Paying attention to dramatic and subtle value changes we will capture the features of the face with some unexpected reflective colour and light.

You will discover how the contours of the nose, the form of the lips and the details of the eyes are the most meaningful parts of the portrait.

Class Recommended Materials

• Fabriano 100% Cotton 140# Cold Press Watercolor Paper.

NOTE: This paper will be taped onto a water resistant board using Holbein Soft Tape.

• Mijello 18 Well Watercolour palette

• Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolours: I suggest you fill your palette and let it dry prior to painting for easier control. My main select colours for this demonstration are: Naples Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Permanent Brown, Quinacridone Rose, Cobalt Blue, optional: Phthalo Yellow Green, Lavender.

• I use a simple mechanical pencil for drawing and kneaded eraser for softening my lines.

• Prior to my demonstration, (Optional) for the highlights in the eyes and some of the hair strands, I’ll use Fine Line Masking Fluid Pen, Supernib-Fine Tip size 20 gauge.

• A rubber cement pickup will be used to lift the masking fluid.

• My favorite brushes are the Dynasty Black Gold 311 Quill Size 0/2/4 – it’s about the size of a size 10 Watercolor Brush.
