How to Mix Skin Tones in Watercolour

Published on 04/03/201905/01/2022 by Marialena Sarris

Hi! I’m back on my blog with some new tutorials and reviews. Here I share with you a rather straight forward tutorial on how to mix skin tones in watercolours. The concept is quite simple. I’ve swatched light medium and dark skin colour mixes, that are useful when you are painting realistic portraits.

I’m an Urbansketcher!
