Human Sketching:
Fundamental Rules
I recommend that you start learning about watercolor portraits with this tutorial. Here we will talk about the ground rules that we almost always use.
Where to start when building a head in space? What is the logic to follow when choosing colors and what stages should you split the project into? Michael will, of course, share his own experience and tips - after all, this is what makes his courses so popular.

List of materials:
Paper: 100% cotton 300 gsm (140 pounds) paper from Saunders or Arches, size around 11 x 15 inches or 22 x 15 inches.
Brush:
Round paintbrush (or mop), squirrel, goat or equivalent (approximately #12). Chinese calligraphy brush (available in our online store) is highly recommended.
Strong hair flat brush, goat or synthetic. I will use 5-Line Flat goat brush (available in our online store). These brushes (5 or 7 lines) are highly recommended. Soft squirrel brushes are not recommended.
Paint:
I highly recommend Daniel Smith watercolor in tubes. In case of impossibility, you can use any other professional brand. Small sets for travel are NOT recommended.
