    Video Transcript

    "Okay, so to paint the corneas we're going to start with the lightest color, mixing wise. So we're going to put white in there and we're going to put a little bit of blue. Blue looks real good, but we want a little bit of green in it. Now thalo green is an intense color, so you want to use very little of it or it will overwhelm what we're looking for. Okay, that looks pretty good there. I've been painting portraits for about twenty years, mostly watercolor portraits, but I've painted several oil portraits too. Don't worry if you make mistakes, we can always paint over it later."
