LIFE painting tutorial for complete beginners: a step by step guide

If you want to learn how to paint people, this comprehensive tutorial is for you. A few months ago I had promised a painting to a friend of mine who is a well known singer in Bahia, Brazil. A week ago I saw her performing after a long time, took a photo and used it as a reference to paint this figurative painting. This watercolor painting lesson guides you through the entire start to finish painting process of this impressionistic piece. Please sit back and enjoy this watercolor painting lesson.
