    I would love to see you do portraits of people in different stages of life to see how you handle the wrinkles that are a part of aging. Lastly, I am so enjoying my Patreon membership that for next month I am bumping up to your top tier to show my appreciation for the immense planning, time and thorough explanations you include (and the many links and listed resources) in every tutorial you share. Thank you!!! ❤

    • @AnnaBucciarelli
      @AnnaBucciarelli  ปีที่แล้ว +15

      I totally get the feeling! I am always intimidated when I start a portrait:) My recommendation is to do a study first, to work out the colors and main challenging points. This way you will take the pressure off the first try and make it into a far more enjoyable learning experience. Good luck!

    This video was so helpful. I have just started to try painting portraits and I really would be interested in seeing videos about how to paint darker skin tones, particularly brown skin tones with a warm undertone. I find a lot of tutorials online just focus on fairer skin tones. When I have found tutorials on darker skin tones they are usually for dark skin tones with a cool undertone. I would like to understand how to better capture a warm undertone with darker skin.

  • @jilliancrawford7577
    @jilliancrawford7577 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thank you sp much for explaining the blue/green effect in subsurface scattering! I've only ever heard of subsurface scattering being how the blood adds red to the transparency of the skincells and never understood how/why the blueish green effect happened. Now that I know the sience behind it, I can make the shadows even better! Thank you!!
    People think I'm weird or trying to take a backwards and wrong approach in my art in needing to know the science behind why things work the way they do to make my art more accurate. I've seen people paint shadows on skin as literal blues and greens and always gound it to be wrong because I didn't understand why (that and maybe the examples had the blues and greens overpower the actual skintone to where it looked wrong lol) but now I know why and how to use it correctly!

    What an extremely beautiful portrait this is, absolutely gorgeous 😍. The thing I love most about your work is the delicate and subtle shifting of colours that create so much depth and interest. The colour choices in all your work results in a mesmerising effect that's just an absolute pleasure to view. Thanks for sharing your wonderful tips with us, it's fantastic that you share so much knowledge with us its so inspirational. Thanks again .

    😮 Wow. I don't know how I've missed this one? I thought I'd watched all of your videos multiple times. I got into trying watercolour because of seeing Agnes Cecile's portraits a few years ago. Faces were my goal but I still haven't tried one because they're scary. But I have learned more in this video than in four years of watching (hundreds?) of portrait tutorials. I always learn so much from you but didn't know you even did faces! I suppose this is my sign to try my hand with it. ❤
    Might watch this again a few dozen more times first though. 😁 THANK YOU!!

    This has been massively helpful for me! I bought a skin tone that I never end up needing, because I use the approximate combination of colors that you suggested! I'm still a beginner at watercolor, and when I attempted my first few pieces it looked awful, which was frustrating since I have a already have a long background in skretching and drawing with a pencil. Thank you ❤
