New Art Instruction Video Released by Mario A. Robinson About Watercolor Portrait Painting

BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Liliedahl Art Videos has released an instructional video from Mario A. Robinson titled "Mario A. Robinson: Watercolor Portraits," which has just been added to distribution through Creative Catalyst Productions. The video includes Mario's step-by-step process for how to paint portraits in watercolor with a realistic and story-telling style similar to artists like Andrew Wyeth.

In this video, award-winning artist Mario A. Robinson shows artists how to paint a watercolor portrait in the American realist style of Andrew Wyeth and Thomas Eakins. Mario's teaching method is friendly and in-depth. He shows how to mix colors for realistic skin tones and hair, and teaches how to use brushstrokes for large washes of color, for texture, and for capturing details. Artists will be amazed at how easy it is to paint portraits with watercolor.

After starting with a drawing, Mario adds a shadow glaze, and from there builds local color, layer by layer. As students follow along step by step, they'll see how each layer of color adds another dimension of realism to the painting. And Mario's exciting dry brush technique to unify the skin tone is something no one should miss. If artists are looking for a simplified approach to using watercolor and enjoying portrait painting, this video should be on their list!

Robinson says, "When you look at a painting and it reads very pleasing to the eye, and you don't really know why, [it's] because value rarely gets a lot of attention, but it really is a super-important component of painting."
