How to mix skin tones in watercolor + EYE PAINTING (tutorial)

[@rosemaefeliciano6042]

skintone tutorial that I found "the most accurate" no adding black, not too much colors needed. and this video also teaches beginners that if you make accidental blooms in your painting, you can always always make up to it in another layer rather than thinking that the whole painting is ruined early in the process . Much love! ❤❤

[@JaneBeata]

Hey guys, painting of an eye starts at 11:24, first part of the video is about mixing skin tones in watercolor. If you are only interested to see the painting process, go ahead and skip it :)

[@Wewantjustice2366]

Jane your teaching is amazing,I love the way you teach and the way you recollect your past experiences with drawing.

[@JaneBeata]

Thank you so much! I hope it helped :))

[@euo95]

The color mixing tutorial is perfect! Thank you!

[@JaneBeata]

You are so welcome! Let me know if there is another topic hard to crack :)

[@ujjainimukherjee2267]

What a wonderful tutorial.... These types of tutorials actually invoke the love for art more specifically watercolor again....I wws stoic when I watched this for 20 minutes.... Mesmerized and spellbound

[@JaneBeata]

So wonderful to hear! Thank youu 😍

[@WillowRoseArlen]

Even when you describe every part of your process, it is still magical to watch your paintings develop and come to life!

[@KimberlyCrick]

Love this video. I think it's a great example of how learning shadow placement can become easier when you approach one zoomed in subject and start with values instead of details. I would love to see you break down other features like the nose and mouth and your favorite color choices lips! Beautiful work :)

[@JaneBeata]

Absolutely, I will get to other parts eventually! Thank you for watching :)

[@mlle_dashenqua]

Jani, this is probably my life-changing video! I used to add shadows to my skin tones by using (recklessly) pure brown or pure blue or mixing alizarin crimson with blue, which of course ended up in a bruised effect. But hopefully now there will be no more bruised portraits! :)

[@JaneBeata]

I am glad if this helped, looking forward to see the results :) 😍

[@MaríaIsabelCantú-t5g]

It's astonishing!!!! Very good result, congratulations.

[@deborahfreshour5098]

You are an amazing artist and teacher. I love watercolor and the few chosen colors mixed to get your washes and then add the shadows makes your painting so beautiful. Thank you so much for this lesson.

[@JaneBeata]

Thanks so much Deborah for such a wonderful feedback :) Hope the lesson helped!

[@chiekohoki]

I really appreciate that you included darker skin tones in this! Thank you for this :)

[@JaneBeata]

Of course!! :)

[@robinhuizing4406]

Thanks, I've made so much progress because of your videos; the encouraging words, carefree but deliberate processes, and lastly because you dared to share them with us! Many thanks Jane!

[@JaneBeata]

Hello Robin, so happy to hear this, best of luck with your painting explorations 🌞

[@halibut1249]

beautiful skin tones, and you model the shape of the face (eye orbit) around the eye, plus examples of other mixing effects to explain your process. excellent!

[@kailyn.bw.]

This study is gorgeous and the video is super helpful on mixing skin tones. I adore your accent, your accent and calmness make it so pleasurable to listen to you. Thank you for creating videos!!

[@JaneBeata]

Thank you so much! I am so insecure about the accent! And lots of other things but this is a wonderful support from you 😍

[@apex.amatuer]

Thank you, your tutorials have helped me immensely.

[@jasmineG-c2f]

Very helpful video. Just starting and I make my own watercolor paint so this helps me with the breakdown of color and what to use. Thank you.

[@JaneBeata]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MomofukoU]

Thank you! This was soo helpful for creating skin tones. Your daughter’s eye is lovely!

[@JaneBeata]

Glad it was helpful, Karen, and thank you for watching :)

[@xTK421x]

Thank you very much Jane. I use very similar, if not all the same products. I agree Arches is the best paper. I buy in bulk. I love having the ability to make any size painting I want. My friends all are wanting panel paintings, so the big (20" x 33") sheets make this work well. Dan Smith is my "go to" paint. I am slowly moving into pans as I am finding I use too much paint with tube. Halfway through I thought you were in trouble making the iris too dark. Then you lifted and saved the day. In the end, WOW. Just, WWOOWW!! The illusion of "real" is what I am after and, I, apparently will be following you around for a bit. Thank you very much.

[@JaneBeata]

Great that you can buy Arches in bulk, its a little more complicated for me here in Slovakia but it's easy to get Fabriano Artistico here (archs). I am currently preferring Canson Moulin du Roy but it's just that my technique needs the additional help with lifting and Arches doesnt really allow that. Thanks so much for appreciating the painting and the video!

[@robinhuizing4406]

Jane, have you tried bee paper? It's my first 100 percent cotton paper besides arches. I'm still feeling it out but think I like it more then arches even.

[@yvonneevans5815]

Thank you for a great tutorial.

[@JaneBeata]

Glad it was helpful! :)

[@trudi5050]

I love your video. I would like to know how to mix Nordic skin - very pale skin.

[@deeanncross7674]

Wow! Lovely eye painting, very detailed and lifelike. You're very skillful. Thanks for sharing how to mix skintones and what colors to add for shadows - all very useful tips.

[@JaneBeata]

Thank you so much 😀

[@lyndalseaton9777]

Looks awesome, your daughter has lovely eyes. I have already taken a photo of my nephew, who has blue/green eyes. You have inspired me to have a go. Thank you for help and guidance in mixing skin colours, It gives me more confidence. I look forward to watching your posts cheers from Australia

[@JaneBeata]

[@tannismcfarren7891]

Hi Jane!! I've not painted in several weeks, but this made me want to. This will definitely help with my skin tones for sure. Mine tend to be way too red and look like a Oompa Loompa. That's ok if that's what you're going for, however that's not what I usually am going for, ahaha. Thanks again, as always!!!

[@JaneBeata]

Tannis glad to hear from you, thanks for watching and hope you will get back to creating again. Yeah sometimes its hard to find balance ☺️

Love this tutorial! You have a fantastic way of teaching ❤️

[@JaneBeata]

Thank you so much :)

[@syerye9748]

This was sooo great thank you so much! It was super helpful and I liked that you explained the colours and what to mix, and loved that you swatched the colours and mixes too so that we could see what you did on the palette and then what it looked like on the paper. I will be ordering some of that crimson 😀 It also really helped me to see all of the layers that you did too. Such an excellent video ❤️🤍

[@JaneBeata]

I'm so glad you found it helpful, thank you for watching :) :)

[@lauras5113]

Amazing eye!

[@JaneBeata]

Hey guys, I created a separate video to explain the process of painting a WATERCOLOR PORTRAIT, that refers back to this video for skin tones mixing. You can check it out here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eILJqoSMeJmfq5I. List of colors that I used - Raw sienna, Alizarin crimson, Vandyke brown, Neutral tint, Cerulean Blue, Ultramarine + optional skin tone base is called Napples yellow reddish (mine is by Schmincke Horadam)

[@fanboy2shoes133]

I just started watching your videos, and I love them. Are you going to create more?

[@JaneBeata]

Hello there, and yes I am! I am so glad you like the content, I am very fond of my channel - too bad it is not my full-time job and only a hobby, so that I can really create videos only when my life isn't falling apart, and this year has been a battlefield :)

[@sirmovielover]

@@JaneBeata crazy times... Are you still creating content for Patreon?

[@JaneBeata]

@@sirmovielover sadly I did not for a couple of months, but working on it right now. There is still some older content, but I can imagine doing one long Patreon video per month on a regular basis.

[@annaleejohnson7876]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@JaneBeata]

No problem :)

[@anetanina]

Hi Jane, I really enjoyed your video. It has helped me to reach the effect I like. I wonder If you'd like to make other parts of the face for us too?

[@JaneBeata]

Great idea! Glad it helped, I must get myself back into the video making asap :) Thanks for watching!

[@werenphan]

Tq for a wonderful video

[@susanjohnson8986]

Love this, especially as I’m a beginner. I thought I’d attempt a 100 eye challenge to try and improve and would love to draw/paint an eye of someone wearing glasses. Is there any possibility of a video on that, please starting with the drawing first please? X

[@JaneBeata]

Hello Susan, thanks for watching :) I am not currently planning to do a new eye study video, but I'll keep your request in mind for the future..

[@sadhnajonchhe8731]

What type of paper do you use ?

[@JaneBeata]

Hello there, sorry for a late reply - I use different types, but most often a 300 gsm cold-pressed cotton paper, mostly by Arches or Fabriano. For this painting it was the Fabriano I believe..

[@np700]

Her accent is quite strong. Does anyone know the colours that she noted she was using, particularly the browns?

[@user-mf1rz9mn3l]

Can you do a portrait??

[@JaneBeata]

I did a couple of them in my past videos, but since portraits are what I do most of the time, I am sure I can do more studies in the future videos as well.
