Back to Portraits for Beginners Course

by Kari Lynn M.

Welcome back, fellow artist, to the beginners’ portrait painting course! Hopefully, you are feeling a little more comfortable painting eyes now that you did before joining the course… just maybe?

Whether you are confident in your painting abilities when it comes to eyes just yet or not, you’re going to get a fresh chance to practice them in this class. We will be starting over again with a new sketch, which includes two sets of eyes, and we will be tackling the top set first. Try to recall the steps it takes to paint eyes, and get ready to improve your painting technique!
