Wanda Morris Cox Watercolor Portrait Artist and Teacher

I began taking watercolor classes and realized very quickly I only wanted to paint faces.  I read and researched everything I could get my hands on to learn to paint portraits.  After a few years I had people asking me to teach portrait classes.  I think I learned as much from the classes as the students did.  I always wanted exciting colors in faces, not the ordinary browns, reds and yellows.  After years of experimenting I finally found the correct combination of colors that worked every time I painted a portrait.  My students were always asking for the steps to be written down so I developed the instruction cards offered on my web site.  When it seemed impossible to put all this information in a set of flash cards, I would remember how long and hard I searched for something like this, which made me press on and finish the cards.
