#94 Soft Portrait (Watercolor Portrait Tutorial)

Portrait: We build our project on a combination of soft transitions and semitones with dark contrasting accents. For the entire project, we use only three colors from ‪@DANIELSMITHArtistColor‬ :
Indigo, Perylene Violet, and Quin Sienna. My favorite colors :)

Thank you!!

[@barbaragemin5117]

This is brilliant and so expressive. Thank you. I would love to paint portraits in watercolour, but it’s more difficult than landscapes. « the light makes the painting ». I agree.

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Thank you so much for feedback! 😍

Rebeca Rosi Thank you so much!

[@paulah317]

I tried to paint a long and it was a lot of fun but I don't know what the heck I'm doing and can't paint that fast. Your painting is Magic. I'm going to try this again and go really really slow. Thank you.

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Thank you! 😍 You don't have to do it that fast. Seriously. But Speed gives me courage))) Sometimes it helps. )))

[@umakanthan53]

Wonderful blending with defining brush strokes. Is the left eye left unfinished intentionally?

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Thank you Manickam! Yes... I trying not to finish the artwork a little, so I leave more to the imagination... but.. sometimes I lose my balance )))

[@umakanthan53]

@@watercoloronlinemsolovyev I understand, Michael. Certain features of the subject, if left unfinished enhance the painterly value. Thank you for your prompt reply.

[@roxannekeomaka4754]

Do you always use 300lb rough watercolor paper?

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

90% of the time

[@karenmorrison8537]

Thank you so much! This was wonderful! I love painting faces and I want to try soft portraits! Where can I get the brushes you used?

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Thank you Karen!! It’s a handmade brushes, goat. You can find it on my website www.watercoloronline.com/watercolorbrushes

[@rickydwash]

What were those three colors again? Thanks!

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Quinacridone Sienna • Perylene Violet • Indigo by @Daniel Smith

[@larrymisiak915]

who is the subject?

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Man on the street... Is it important? :)

[@karenjoyridsdale]

So often your hand is in front of the brush mark. Hard to see the marks you are making.

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Thanks Karen. Any ideas how to fix it?

[@karenjoyridsdale]

Watercolor Online with Michael Solovyev Change the camera angle or change the angle of your brush work? I know that’s difficult but we miss so many interesting marks when your hand hides them.

[@gael606]

@@karenjoyridsdale unfortunately a second camera is often needed

[@karenjoyridsdale]

Oppy Poy thank you. That explains a lot.

[@annacolombo6555]

Lei è mancino, come me ma quando disegna, la mano è sempre sopra il disegno e non si vede molto, sono passi importanti, peccato

[@watercoloronlinemsolovyev]

Mi dispiace tanto, Anna! In realtà sono destrorso e ho cambiato gli angoli della telecamera nei miei ultimi video in modo che tu possa vedere tutto!

[@annacolombo6555]

Grazie grazie Michael, ti seguo sempre, come posso farti vedere i miei disegni ? Sto imparando molto da te, grazie@@watercoloronlinemsolovyev
