Monochrome Watercolor Portrait by Daniel

Watch how a Watercolor Academy student, Daniel Guzman, creates a monochrome watercolor portrait using the wet-on-dry glazing technique. Working in monochrome allows the artist to focus on the essentials of portrait painting, proportions, tonal values, structure, light, and form. With wet-on-dry glazing, each transparent layer is applied over a dry surface, making it possible to build depth gradually and refine the portrait with control. In the Watercolor Academy Correspondence course, Daniel receives personal tutoring and professional feedback. Portrait painting is only one part of this structured program. In 100 practical tasks, students learn watercolor painting methods and techniques, composition, color theory, among such genres as landscapes, still life, figurative subjects, and other important topics. This kind of repeated, guided practice helps students understand the medium more deeply and develop stronger, more confident painting skills from one assignment to the next. Daniel's progress shows what focused practice can achieve. With every assignment, his control of the medium becomes stronger and his understanding of portraiture grows.
