Oh god, so many layers
I should try it, i usually just add the basic color skin + shadows xD
Same XD
thank you XD
Sameee, but I also add a little blush and some basic highlights
Same...
Is why it is called a discipline. Focus on your objective. Bending, or breaking rules at your own peril.(or in some cases peril becomes enlightenment) Once the basics are known and practiced, one could move on to bending and breaking said rules of the discipline. In Wu Shu I had to master sticky hands(bong Sau) before I could move to harder and harder body mechanics(Fuk Sao Dip Sao.....then weapons). After 12 years of focus, I am enlightened and I feel ready to venture away from the prison that is style and the trappings of technique to develop my own way of Tao te Ching and walking the path of the sage.
My favourite artist doing a video on my biggest problem and explaining it so well that even a toddler could understand. You made my day.
Rita .Sassatelli Use light wash of water, then use the color of choice, apply areas where there is light like yellow. Then repeat the process after laying down the base layer.
the problem with me and water colour is that I'm too impatient to wait around until everything is dry
Try using a heat gun or a hairdryer, it speeds up dry time by a lot
Use a hairdryer
Usually when I need to let it dry, I just go on my phone. Time flies by quickly.
same i get impatient but when i am patient, my paintings turn out wayyyyy better
Thatssss sooo trueeee same thing happens to me💯💯
I really got asked a lot about mixing skin tones, so I hope I could help some of you understand my thought process ^-^
I will be working on more tutorials video soon. Give me suggestions on what you want to see covered next :)
Also don't forget to check out the Basic Watercolor Tutorial >u< th-cam.com/video/yZy-nrpjmS0/w-d-xo.html
Laovaan oh oh how the skin or the colors in general would look in a underwater effect like on a pool or the ocean
How about blurry backgrounds like the one you did in this piece
Laovaan Thank you so much for the tutorial. It will really help me out in my drawings. ♡
A little question, which are the watercolor paint you use?
KrisOnCreative he use schminke :D and others that are liquitex
Katenaru 03 Thank you!! ♥
This is a super helpful and well explained watercolor tutorial, Laovaan! :)
Thank you for this! Maybe I'll try it out with the help of your Tutorial by time :D
Rambutan Illustration Omg is it really you? I love your art!!
Rambutan Illustration how to watercolor easy flowers?
That smile in the end :D
Thanks for this tutorial, it was very helpful! Your technique is really interesting, I never thought about letting everything dry, wetting it again and then adding the next layer - definitly have to try this :3
We've added English subtitles for the whole video this time! You can even let TH-cam translate them to your own language! Click the little gear icon (where you would choose a video quality), select Subtitles and then Auto-Translate. Try it out! :)
EDIT: Русские субтитры доступны! Dostępne są polskie napisy!!
Trying out their English to Welsh;)
Echolox subtitles can't made in german but I can english so it doesn't matter
Auto-Translate also "works" for German, although I'm putting this in quotes because it doesn't yield the best results ^^
thanks for uploading this vid
if you have the cotman set.... no... but you can buy portrait pink from w&n proffessionelle
CHLOE !!!!😍😍😍
I saw that thumbnail and I screamed "CHLOE!"
WizardHowl927 same
Max is also here!
Omfg i love your hair XDD
It looks so soft tbh
Gosh, I find it so calming and satisfying to watch these watercolour videos with you explaining in the background.
I jumped and almost screamed when I had the notification ! Thank you so much for these explanations, I'm currently sketching my first semi-realistic drawing, and feared I would fail it with watercolors, especially with the skin, and now, I'm gonna be very careful but I won't hesitate to play with the colors and the layers ! Thank you for this !! :D
That was just magical as you brought her to life. Her skin looked touchable!
I absolutely love you for the progress bar during silence to know when you'll speak again. So many times I've skipped through wanting to hear explanations during tutorials, but having a visible sign to know kept me patient. And thats on top of you answering all my questions as soon as I think of them! Amazing!
I loveee how you explain things so effortlessly, I so lovee your stylee
hmm...i wonder, why don´t you just add clear water instead of white to lighten up the skintone? in my experience white pigments in watercolors often kills the luminosity of the Colors and also make it hard to layer over it with darker Colors (for example: shadows) Also, there is the white of the paper, why not using it when it´s possible ;) anyways, great tutorial. love from Munich, Ira
Thank you ^-^ never thought you are from germany, too :D
to answer your question, it's a matter of taste of course :)
personally I like the skin more milky and dulled down and adding white helps to reach that tone I am looking for. But I rarely mix skin tones from scratch anyway, it was just to illustrate how I would do it :)
I never experienced trouble with layering though ^^"
Naples yellow reddish and a lot of other tones like turquoise or cobalt blue hue actually contain zinc oxide/titanium dioxide (white pigment), which is why you would have to use watercolor inks in the first place if you want to go for pure luminosity...^^
But I showed an example in the "HOW TO WATERCOLOR" video how it would look to do the skin only with transparent inks and it gets "radioactive" very quickly haha xD
so yeah, it's up to your goal to decide what you want to use :)
I hope I could help x)
Omg thanks I've always wondered how you are able to achieve such deep and natural skins in your watercolor paintings ! Thanks!
This is what I needed. This entire time I would just add skin color and then right after I would add my blush and shadows and more often than not I would get bad blooms and hard edges... Thank you so much for making this video!
So far that's been the best explained tutorial I've seen on creating smooth transitions for painting the face. It looks so ethereal. So excited to learn this. I'm really hoping I will be able to be patient enough to do this all in pure watercolor.
Your tutorials are great. There are plentiful tutorials out there on "what's a paintbrush" and then they skip to super complicated because the artist isn't explaining everything. There's a huge gap of "middle level" between those and your tutorials fill them. Thank you so much!
I just found your channel and I cannot tell you how grateful I am and how helpful these videos are! I am very new to watercolour but I am really enjoying working with it. Thanks again!
So ein fein gemaltes Aquarell sehe ich zum ersten Mal! Megaklasse!
Oh my God I tried out your tips and just painted the smoothest, most realistic looking skin I have every achieved with watercolors. This is the most helpful tutorial I have ever watched; my technique has been forever changed and I will now proceed to never paint skin another way again. Thank you so, so much.
deine wunderschönen Bilder waren eine Inspiration für mich selbst mit Aquarell anzufangen
Thank you so much Laovan for this amazing class.
I've worked in several other mediums but I'm just now dabbling in watercolor painting. This was very helpful! Thanks!
Your skin tones are one of my favorites. This was so helpful, as watercolor is my favorite medium and I would love to have my skins as smooth as yours
Thanks for sharing how you colour your skin tones...can't wait to try your technique.
this is the most helpful skin tone tutorial I've seen for watercolor so far! thank you!
this video couldn't have come at a better time for me. Thank you so very much for your work in teaching such a complex thing in a way that makes it so easy.
I love to watch your videos. I work primarily digital myself, but I love seeing traditional techniques used in new ways. This one was especially helpful, because when I have used Watercolors, the skin has never come out right. I think a big part of that was my own lack of knowledge, using the wrong paper and impatience.
Thank you for sharing your stunning art (and face!) with us. I'm grateful to have your presence here on TH-cam.
Thank you!! So helpful! Love to watch you work!
Beautiful work! Very helpful with great tips. I appreciated that you keep the reference photo up too. Thank you for sharing!
I just really really love the way you edit your videos they're so much fun to watch
Excellent example of how to render skin. The part where you wet the area first is really helpful. Thank you so much. I love your work. You are so talented.
I love how you describe every detail! So generous with the information. I love your channel. 💓
Ur paintings looks just so.... Magical!
POR FIN un tutorial simple, claro, profundo, completo y con una realización audiovisual inteligente! Felicitaciones y gracias. Te estaré siguiendo

I'm new to water colour and this tutorial gave me a lot of insight. I've been using color pencil for a while and really wanted to cross over into other medias. Thank you for doing this :)
I really needed this!! THANK YOU

You explained this so clearly! Thank you!!
This was amazing🙌 thank you!!!
Omg thank you. This has been the most comprehensible tutorial on skin that I've seen. I've been having the most troublesome time with making skin look smooth.
I love these videos. I think you're truly a great teacher because your voice is so calm and soothing as you go through the steps. It's encouragement without actual words like "You can do it". I've been using watercolour for awhile but I also learn so much from your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Oh my word!! you are extremely talented!!!
Incredible lesson!!! I love your attitude and love of life!
Beautifully done!
Loved this one.
Incredible. Thank you for sharing your process, that is very generous of you! You have the most perfect watercolors so again, thank you. I didn't even realize you had tutorials about your process. I feel like I have learned some key things that I have been missing. after watching this video i finally will give my first try at a water color portrait.
I am amazed at how realistic and gorgeous this is.
This is amazing. Awesome work.
AH YES I'VE BEEN LONG AWAITING THIS. So so happy you did this, thank you SO MUCH!
Your art is SO *AMAZING*💕💕💕
What an absolute awesome painting. I have never painted in watercolour before, not even one brushstroke, I can draw pretty good and do graphite portraits and have been asked regularly to do colour ones. After seeing this tutorial I am going to start watercolour from the very beginning ie; mixing skin tones so a very big thank you to you for setting me off. I look forward to seeing more of your tutorials.
Any tips from anyone when it comes to skin tones would be highly appreciated
i don't have a white watercolour but ive found a way to just put not too much but enough water and lightly paint the face, it works good enough. this tutorial helped me out a lot!
how to colour hair..?
Alex Paul okay thank you
Nafleh Heart For watercolors or copics? He already has video for only copics.
And I think you are actually looking for watercolor tutorial for hair.
Awesome! I love it💜
I've been obsessed with your work recently. and your teaching is I would say one of the best on youtube
Thank you so much I learned so much for your tutorial, I have been using your layering technique for skin tones and my skins are so much more luminous. Love your channel ❤️
This is the best tutorial I’ve come across so far! Thank you so much!

I cannot express how helpful this tutorial is for me. Thank you so much for sharing your technique with us!
Thank You so much for this, Loved it!! Really helped me to understand the process a lot better.
Truly remarkable how it comes to life fantastic
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial!!!
Your work is amazing. I learned a tonne from this video. The colour wheel for skin tone shadows was an eye opener. Also loved seeing the Noctis painting. One day I hope to paint him walking down the stairs with his weapons flying round him. Totally a cliche picture but I love it. I'm quite a ways from being able to draw that though. Top lesson learned from this is patience...let it all dry. So happy to have found your channel.
Thank you! This is very informative and simple without taking away from the beauty of your work.
oh wow. that looks amazing! i've been watching a lot of tutorials, tips and trix for watercolor lately since i'm trying to get good at using it, and i've not come across a similar "guide" like this so it was really good to see :)
this is the best water color tutorial i ever watch. u made my day😄
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS!!!! Water color is a medium that I'm way too intimidated to use because of how precise and delicate you have to be. I usually work in acrylic because "eh, if you don't like how something came out, you can paint over it," haha. I may have to reach outside my comfort zone, though, after seeing this. Bravo, good sir! Bravo.
