In todayโ€™s lesson, youโ€™ll learn how to approach watercolor portraits in a simplified and approachable way. Using a limited color palette, Jane shares techniques for mixing soft skin tones, creating expressive brushwork, and suggesting facial features without getting caught up in every detail. Itโ€™s a great way to build confidence with portrait painting while developing a looser, more intuitive watercolor style.โ

In this colorful watercolor series, youโ€™ll learn how to create expressive, stylized portraits combined with loose, flowing florals. Weโ€™ll begin with simple floral studies to build confidence and brush control, then move into simplified watercolor portraits using a limited palette.โ 
โ 
From there, youโ€™ll explore sketchbook studies that combine faces and florals, experimenting freely with composition and color. In the final lesson, youโ€™ll bring everything together to paint a finished portrait step by step, layering color and refining details while maintaining a soft, expressive feel. This series is designed to help you let go of perfection, build confidence, and develop a more intuitive, personal approach to watercolor portrait painting.โ
