Hello! I posted some information about my new portrait tutorial in the forum “Watercolor Tutorials And Resources”. I guess my post is not visible to those who are not subscribed to that particular forum, so I apologise for cross-posting. If you would like to see my approach to painting portraits on Khadi 640 gsm watercolour paper, here is the link to read and watch YouTube video: https://violetad.com/2018/01/10/tutorial-1-painting-the-portrait-in-watercolour-on-khadi-640-gsm-paper/
Enjoy!
The following video is one she made of painting Lupita Nyong’o. It was on her site when she used to call it “Art Food Kitty.”
I cannot find the other article, that of painting a Haitian child, and will continue to look for it (I was led to it via an art forum).
However, here are the colors used for the skin: alizarin red, ultramarine blue, quin burnt orange, and gamboge. Also burnt sienna, which I believe were used to add extra depth to shadows.
Thank you Shar! I really love Kelly’s work and her videos. She has such an easy manner of delivery and very succinct instructions on what and why she does things. I’m so excited for her Strathmore workshop!
It appears the video gremlin is afoot this morning and the video isn’t showing on the home feed, only the link. You can click the link to open the video at YT or access it direct from within our Portraits Forum. (It will be on the last page in that forum and page links are found and accessed at the bottom of every page.)
