Workshop

From Value to Color: The Figure In Watercolor A 3-day Workshop with Mario Andres Robinson

Cincinnati, United States
Manifest Drawing Center
Deadline: October 3, 2025Expired

About This Opportunity

Discover how values transform into luminous color in this focused watercolor portrait workshop. Designed to help artists slow down, look closely, and bring the figure to life with clarity and depth, the class works from a sustained live portrait pose to build paintings step by step. The workshop begins with careful drawing and a monochromatic block-in to establish structure and values. From there, artists will layer transparent watercolor glazes, gradually developing luminous skin tones, subtle atmosphere, and a sense of realism.

Restrictions

This class is suggested for individuals with some figure drawing experience. Basic knowledge of watercolor light and shadow is expected.

What's Offered

watercolor materials, live portrait pose, transparent watercolor glazes
