This class is all about portrait painting! In this class we will discuss:

- mixing and blending paint

- tricks for painting hair…and much more!

This class includes a FREE photo reference!

Inclusivity Note: This video includes another video link in the description for a skin tone mixing video, where you learn how to make all different skin tones just from using the primary colours - yellow, red and blue! If you would like to paint a medium or darker skin tone, you can use these same tips explained in the video, and just change your base skin tone colour to one of your preference.
