If you venture outside the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, you discover a walkway filled with marble statues of Renaissance masters, including Michelangelo, da Vinci, and Ravello. Recreate Renaissance master’s in your artwork as you learn to capture a sunlit sculpture’s likeness in watercolors.
In the first class, paint the likeness of the master sculptor Michelangelo and explore how dramatic sunlight and layered shadows can give a watercolor painting a sense of dimension. In the second, paint Leonardo da Vinci’s statue along with the instructor, or work from your own photo of a sculpture. This new way of seeing can be your stepping-stone to the world of watercolor portraiture.
