Hello everyone! This is a muchrequested video and I've finally made it! In this watercolour tutorial I teach you how to make any skin tone with watercolours by using a trio of primary colours (red, blue and yellow).
It's essential that you practise these mixtures and experiment with all of the colours in your palette to really get to grips with tweaking the primaries to achieve natural, realistic skin tones.
