Use These Colors for a Beautiful Watercolor Portrait

Let's paint a lovely watercolor portrait! This is a step-by-step process of the painting, perfect for following along or using as an inspiration for your own portrait art. I'll be using a limited palette, focusing on blue and purple tones for the skin. Somewhere out in the fictional ether, Wednesday Adams is nodding in approval.

“This is the wild stage” I love that description of the beginning of a watercolor piece. So accurate and helpful to think of to keep loose.

[@jeannes]

I love your use of non-literal colors. It's very inspiring!

[@dmortelli1]

Very nice and unique. Great video I really enjoyed it and like your style and technique! 🎨🖌️

Finding the patience to allow a painting to completely dry-- been looking for that for a long time…smile…very much enjoying your work.

[@KarianHale]

Thank you for inspiring an attempt at a portrait. I always stick to abstracts and landscapes. Keep the beautiful watercolor coming please.

I think you are a brilliant artist 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for sharing 😊

Beautiful portrait!! Never thought of using blooms to make undefined edges, that’s a very cool idea, might have to try that some day

[@edward9840]

Very nice. I also liked your comment that having certain areas less vivid makes the portrait more “comfortable” to look at. ❤🎉🎉🎉👏

Thank you for this post, I have been painting with watercolors for many years . I just thoroughly enjoyed your relaxed , less controlled way you paint, I always start off with that intention and end up trying to control the outcome. Please continue posting videos they’re inspirational. For those of us that over control . Is there any other suggestions, it would sure be helpful for me Thank you sincerely Ohn ❤

[@boxesofsheep]

Thanks so much Ohn! ❤ Learning when to be loose and when to be more precise is definitely the hardest thing about watercolour for me

[@omybeach8743]

It's always so fascinating to see a painting works out, inbetween I thought to myself will it evolve? Will definately rewatch it to get inspiration to work on my 'building up layers' technique. Thank you, Kathy.
