You'll learn simple drawing and painting techniques that will help you to create this beautiful romantic portrait painting with a stunning female face emerging from long golden windblown hair on a sunny summer day.

Surrounded by the light glow from the ambient light behind her head, the woman will appear to be right in front of you, staring into the camera with her enchanting eyes and soft tan skin tone. The hair takes on its own life with the long flowing strands being lifted off her head and across her face by the passing wind. The hair streams over her nose and mouth creating a mysterious anonymous look and also provides good color balance in the composition.
