You Asked For it! Real Time Watercolor Portrait Lesson!
Hi friends! I always get a bit nervous when I post a tutorial that is over an hour-long on YouTube. People say they want in-depth lessons but people also see the length and don’t want to commit that amount of time to watch. I get it. I don’t get the dislikes on the video but that’s YouTube trolls for you, or maybe it is people saying that it’s too long. However I also got many requests on my Sketchbook Sunday time-lapse portrait for a real-time lesson so I decided to make a portrait painting that you can follow along with in real-time. It was longer than I wanted it to be but I think it is easy to follow. I truly hope you like it.
So if you were among the folks asking for a real-time portrait I hope you will try it.
Supplies (affiliate links may be used)
Watercolors (I use the Paul Rubens set of 24 in the pretty pink tin) Colors: Yellow ochre, Ultramarine, burnt sienna, crimson (the cool red)
Hot press watercolor paper: I am really liking the Fluid 100 6″x8″ eazy block. It is not too expensive and I have found a butter knife is the best way to remove the paper without damage.
Watercolor pencils if you sketch directly on your watercolor paper, this set has nice color for portraits
Graphite pencils and eraser
White gel pen or paint pen (optional)
Wax based colored pencils (optional)
That’s all for today! If you enjoyed this tutorial please consider sharing it using one of the handing sharing buttons below. I hope you are having a lovely week and til next time happy crafting!
