One of the most memorable tips my favourite watercolor artists @spmlaw when it comes to #watercolorpainting is that skin is never one fleshy color. Skin colors come in diverse tones, tints, and hues, and understanding the warm and cool undertones of skin can help achieve a very beautiful effect, especially in painting portraits. Always consider undertones. Look up references. Check your own skin, look at the color of the veins. Real life is always the best reference Disclaimer: I am by no means a wc expert, but I have consistently applied this principle in my main medium (digital art) by determining a warm or cool base color. With watercolors, the medium's translucency becomes a powerful in making these undertones apparent through the magic of glaaaaaaziiing ✨✨✨✨ What tips and techniques have you discovered/learned while learning your own favorite crafts?
