After a year of practicing watercolors almost non-stop, I’ve decided that I’m now\u00a0ready to hold my own watercolor workshop. I’ve thought about it for months\u00a0—\u00a0some generous people have already offered\u00a0their establishments as\u00a0venues\u00a0— but I didn’t want to commit until I was 100% ready. But then\u00a0I got such a high from teaching the shrink art workshop and from giving a talk to young creative ICA girls last year\u00a0that\u00a0something inside me clicked and said “ok, now na.”<\/p>\n

Since Mansy of\u00a0Hey Kessy<\/a> has been very supportive of me & my art journey, I wanted to hold my first watercolor workshop with them. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

You can sign up for a slot here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In this class I’ll be teaching you\u00a0how to paint simple and loosely expressive watercolor portraits from live or photo references. Don’t worry, even if you have never drawn a face you will learn\u00a0the basics.\u00a0We also won’t make anything too involved or “overworked” since I want to highlight the spontaneous quality of the medium. (And to be honest, I can appreciate them but I’m not a big fan of hyper-realistic paintings because if I wanted “realistic” I’ll just use a camera. ;))<\/p>\n

The fee is inclusive of snacks & a workshop kit consisting of a zine, a 12-tube watercolor set, a 3-pc round brush set, watercolor paper sheets, a mixing plate, a pencil and an eraser.<\/p>\n

Here are some of my sample practive work. Can you tell that I’m both nervous and excited?<\/p>\n

Spent the last few hours getting acquainted with Lefranc & Bourgeois Louvre watercolors, a French-made student-grade paint just a bit over the price range of Prang (the 12-tube set is P290) but obviously more intensely pigmented. I think it’s a great starter choice for portrait practice. ? Incidentally, my workshop details are now up over at @heykessy website ? http:\/\/workshops.heykessy.com\/watercolor-portrait-painting<\/a><\/p>\n
