Curious about how I create my gouache portraits? How I choose the perfect reference and then interpret it in paint? I made a short tutorial video!!

This year, I set out to improve my gouache painting skills by painting 50 portraits. I chose a range of photo references of different kinds of people in interesting lighting to study. Here is a tour of the completed sketch book!
