Live Webinar Event- The Great Face Paint with Painter Master Marilyn Sholin
Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
DESCRIPTION
This webinar will only concentrate on painting faces, hair and skin in multiple methods. You will learn at least three different ways to paint faces, eyes, hair and skin. Each method will leave a different painterly effect and it’s up to you to practice and see which one is right for your paintings. While this will concentrate on painting from photo reference, the methods of painting will vary. The same image will be used for each lesson to impress the differences in the finished painting effect.
As a special bonus, the set of brushes Marilyn uses in the webinar will be available as a free download in the Digital Paint Shop and on Marilyn’s Blog after the webinar ends.
