6 amazing watercolor portrait painters

Home Art

The watercolor technique is the most vivid and difficult in painting. Mastering it allows you to create incredible watercolor portrait masterpieces using only a glass of water, a palette and a tube of paint. Lots of artists use watercolor only for ground work and some – only for sketching. So you’d better make sure yourself!

He often leaves the faces of his figures obscured or turned away, not only leaving the face to the imagination of the viewer but also allowing the entire figure to express the emotion. Backlighting is also a signature element of his style.
