[Lesson 17] Bi-Color Short Hair

More hair, yay!

In this lesson, you’ll see how to paint short hair in two colors blueish black and ash blond. This is super fun, and I’m sure soon you’ll be creating all kinds of hairstyles mixing different colors 😉

Are you ready?

Before Starting

To have a perfect learning-practice day, make sure you are ready:

  1. Gather all your materials, and set them in your favorite place to work with watercolors. Check out the materials list for this lesson below the video.
  2. Sketch the hairstyle you want to paint before you click play. In the video, I show how to paint a bi-color hairstyle, so you have to have a sketch of the hair you want to paint. And, the more sketches you have to paint hair, the better!
  3. Determine the colors you want for the hairstyle. And establish what color goes where.
  4. Start with the first color you want to paint. And then, continue with the second color.
  5. Put on your earbuds with your favorite music on, and now you’re ready!

Let’s go!
