Painting Portraits in Watercolour

Liz Chaderton

This joyful book gives you the confidence and skills to paint lively, contemporary faces and characters. Unusually, it teaches how to paint before exploring the drawing skillset necessary to capture a likeness, and thereby encourages the artist to try this genre. By explaining the techniques in clear steps with plenty of examples, it makes painting exciting and energetic portraits achievable for all.

Liz Chaderton is a full-time artist based in Berkshire, who is known for her colourful watercolour paintings. This is her fifth book for Crowood.

It possibly helps to have had some experience with portrait work before starting this, but it doesn’t pretend to be a primer, and there are plenty of those anyway. If you have that and want to get character and vibrancy into your faces, this is absolutely the book for you.
