When painting portraits, do you ever find yourself overworking the eyes?I believe that what truly defines the impression and quality of a portrait isn't the eyes, but how you express the hair and capture the light. In this video, I’ll be painting a young woman in backlight—a perfect theme to blow away the summer heat—focusing on keeping the eyes subtle and maintaining a sense of overall harmony in watercolor.Please enjoy my brushwork, including how I blend the background, the energetic strokes used for the hair, and the way I depict the skin texture translucent under backlight.In the second half of the video, I also share detailed information about my upcoming exhibition and my online watercolor courses.
