Capturing Sunlit Faces - Preview

Painting faces and people can feel a little daunting, but it doesn’t have to be! In this tutorial, we’ll break down the process of painting two figures in an informal sunlit portrait scene, making it approachable and fun.

We’ll focus on a lightness of touch—working with delicate colours, soft tones, and subtle brushwork—to capture the soft shadows on the young woman’s face. Then, we’ll contrast this with bolder tones and beautifully variegated washes in the man, while keeping the painting fresh and light.

You’ll also learn colour mixing, from pale initial washes to richer tones for the faces, clothing, and background, and how to bring everything together into a harmonious, lively painting.

So join me and discover how to paint people with light, and life—see you there!
