Back to Portraits for Beginners Course

by Kari Lynn M.

Welcome, painters, to the second class focused on painting eyes in the “How to Paint a Portrait for Beginners” course.

Make sure you have completed the previous class at least once before joining this class because we will be building upon what we learned previously. We will go more in-depth with how to properly paint eyelashes, eyelids, and irises, so get ready to make some beautiful eyes!

And, as always—do not get frustrated if you run into difficulties. Remember that we are simply practicing our painted eyes, and there’s no need to stress—just relax, paint, and enjoy!
