Aki doing a demo in class.

Discover the art of capturing the essence and unique beauty of people and animals.  Learn the fundamental techniques and principles of watercolor painting specifically tailored for portraiture.  Through a series of structured lessons and hands-on demos, you will gain understanding of composition, light and shadow, as well as proportion, and the nuances of capturing facial features.

The curriculum will first focus on fundamentals as we will review the best materials to use as well as foundational exercises to develop brush control, color mixing, and tonal values.  Then we will transition to exploring the intricacies of portraiture, studying how to mix flesh tones, render fur, and add fine details to the face.  Aki will demonstrate the step-by-step process of portraiture, from composing the initial sketch to building layers of pigment, delicately blending colors, and painting the details.
