Portrait of people are always my favorite subjects in my paintings, especially painting people in watercolor. After years of doing portrait paintings in oil and gouache, I turned to watercolor. I found that watercolor portrait painting of people is not only challenging, but also quite interesting. Since each person has his/her unique personality and background, it requires a different approach in each watercolor portrait painting, to capture the uniqueness.

In the years of teaching watercolor portraiture class in the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, I searched for the effective ways to teach other artists to learn this most challenging painting medium and subject matter. In this gallery I selected portrait paintings of the people in a range of different ages and personalities.
