In the painting below Michael\u00a0has kept the tones light in the background so\u00a0the subject can\u00a0be in full focus. He has also\u00a0allowed the sunlight of the day to stream into the painting\u00a0which makes for a very bright and airy piece. Michael is working on our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.londonartcollege.co.uk\/art-courses\/portrait-painting-certificate-course\/\">Online Art Course in Portraiture Painting<\/a>\u00a0with tutor Alan Dedman and is using a variety of mediums within the course to practice his portrait painting skills.<\/p>\n<p>There are lots of resources online to give tips and advice on both watercolour painting and generally how to painting portraits in watercolour. Many of our students will be aware of the\u00a0Artists and Illustrators magazine and the link below shows a step by step guide to painting a portrait in watercolour. Our students and\u00a0readers may find it interesting and useful. The artists explains and illustrates each step of the portrait showing how he uses the layering technique in watercolour to achieve his desired results. It also gives a list of all of the watercolours and materials he uses too.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artistsandillustrators.co.uk\/how-to\/watercolour\/1431\/how-to-paint-watercolour-portraits\">https:\/\/www.artistsandillustrators.co.uk\/how-to\/watercolour\/1431\/how-to-paint-watercolour-portraits<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget, also head over to our Pinterest page &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.pinterest.com\/londonartcol\/tutorials-painting-portraits-in-watercolours\/\">Tutorials &#8211; Painting Portraits in Watercolour<\/a>.
