Watercolor Painting: Eyes

Video Transcript

"O.k. first thing we're going to do is put in the eye because I like to have the eyes in there because the face looks awfully strange without the eyes. So what I'm going to do is with a little bit of thalo blue, I'm going to go around the cornea and the pupil because water color is set up to do layering; that means you put down one color and then another color on top of it, generally a darker color. So first thing we're going to do is do the corneas and where the pupils are; we don't need to go around them because the pupil's going to be black which is darker, now if it's going to be lighter that would be a different story. O.k. got to make the outsides professional and smooth; and if you need to highlight the eye then you may need to leave that or you can scratch it in there later on."
