How to Paint Hair with Kelly Eddington
Watercolor artist Kelly Eddington will show you how masking fluid can be your secret weapon when it comes to painting hair. In this case, it’s dark and wavy with a bit of shine and a few flyaways. She has painted all kinds of hair and believes this is the most difficult texture to work with, especially when an artist wishes to use transparent watercolor (where no white paint is allowed). Kelly’s portraits take weeks to complete, so she will take you through her five step process as she paints a small section of her own difficult hair.
Adding depth to Your Paintings with Kathleen Lanzoni
The focus of the landscape painting is to create light and depth using fluid watercolor paints. Layering transparent watercolor is like magic!
