My favourite artist doing a video on my biggest problem and explaining it so well that even a toddler could understand. You made my day.
Rita .Sassatelli Use light wash of water, then use the color of choice, apply areas where there is light like yellow. Then repeat the process after laying down the base layer.
Oh god, so many layers
I should try it, i usually just add the basic color skin + shadows xD
Same XD
thank you XD
Sameee, but I also add a little blush and some basic highlights
Same...
Is why it is called a discipline. Focus on your objective. Bending, or breaking rules at your own peril.(or in some cases peril becomes enlightenment) Once the basics are known and practiced, one could move on to bending and breaking said rules of the discipline. In Wu Shu I had to master sticky hands(bong Sau) before I could move to harder and harder body mechanics(Fuk Sao Dip Sao.....then weapons). After 12 years of focus, I am enlightened and I feel ready to venture away from the prison that is style and the trappings of technique to develop my own way of Tao te Ching and walking the path of the sage.
This is a super helpful and well explained watercolor tutorial, Laovaan! :)
Thank you for this! Maybe I'll try it out with the help of your Tutorial by time :D
Rambutan Illustration Omg is it really you? I love your art!!
Rambutan Illustration how to watercolor easy flowers?
I really got asked a lot about mixing skin tones, so I hope I could help some of you understand my thought process ^-^
I will be working on more tutorials video soon. Give me suggestions on what you want to see covered next :)
Also don't forget to check out the Basic Watercolor Tutorial >u< ruclips.net/video/yZy-nrpjmS0/видео.html
Laovaan oh oh how the skin or the colors in general would look in a underwater effect like on a pool or the ocean
How about blurry backgrounds like the one you did in this piece
Laovaan Thank you so much for the tutorial. It will really help me out in my drawings. ♡
A little question, which are the watercolor paint you use?
KrisOnCreative he use schminke :D and others that are liquitex
Katenaru 03 Thank you!! ♥
the problem with me and water colour is that I'm too impatient to wait around until everything is dry
Try using a heat gun or a hairdryer, it speeds up dry time by a lot
Use a hairdryer
Usually when I need to let it dry, I just go on my phone. Time flies by quickly.
same i get impatient but when i am patient, my paintings turn out wayyyyy better
Thatssss sooo trueeee same thing happens to me💯💯
That smile in the end :D
Thanks for this tutorial, it was very helpful! Your technique is really interesting, I never thought about letting everything dry, wetting it again and then adding the next layer - definitly have to try this :3
CHLOE !!!!😍😍😍
hmm...i wonder, why don´t you just add clear water instead of white to lighten up the skintone? in my experience white pigments in watercolors often kills the luminosity of the Colors and also make it hard to layer over it with darker Colors (for example: shadows) Also, there is the white of the paper, why not using it when it´s possible ;) anyways, great tutorial. love from Munich, Ira
Thank you ^-^ never thought you are from germany, too :D
to answer your question, it's a matter of taste of course :)
personally I like the skin more milky and dulled down and adding white helps to reach that tone I am looking for. But I rarely mix skin tones from scratch anyway, it was just to illustrate how I would do it :)
I never experienced trouble with layering though ^^"
Naples yellow reddish and a lot of other tones like turquoise or cobalt blue hue actually contain zinc oxide/titanium dioxide (white pigment), which is why you would have to use watercolor inks in the first place if you want to go for pure luminosity...^^
But I showed an example in the "HOW TO WATERCOLOR" video how it would look to do the skin only with transparent inks and it gets "radioactive" very quickly haha xD
so yeah, it's up to your goal to decide what you want to use :)
I hope I could help x)
We've added English subtitles for the whole video this time! You can even let RUclips translate them to your own language! Click the little gear icon (where you would choose a video quality), select Subtitles and then Auto-Translate. Try it out! :)
EDIT: Русские субтитры доступны! Dostępne są polskie napisy!!
Trying out their English to Welsh;)
Echolox subtitles can't made in german but I can english so it doesn't matter
Auto-Translate also "works" for German, although I'm putting this in quotes because it doesn't yield the best results ^^
thanks for uploading this vid
if you have the cotman set.... no... but you can buy portrait pink from w&n proffessionelle
I jumped and almost screamed when I had the notification ! Thank you so much for these explanations, I'm currently sketching my first semi-realistic drawing, and feared I would fail it with watercolors, especially with the skin, and now, I'm gonna be very careful but I won't hesitate to play with the colors and the layers ! Thank you for this !! :D
Omfg i love your hair XDD
It looks so soft tbh
I saw that thumbnail and I screamed "CHLOE!"

Max is also here!
I love to watch your videos. I work primarily digital myself, but I love seeing traditional techniques used in new ways. This one was especially helpful, because when I have used Watercolors, the skin has never come out right. I think a big part of that was my own lack of knowledge, using the wrong paper and impatience.
Thank you for sharing your stunning art (and face!) with us. I'm grateful to have your presence here on RUclips.
Your tutorials are great. There are plentiful tutorials out there on "what's a paintbrush" and then they skip to super complicated because the artist isn't explaining everything. There's a huge gap of "middle level" between those and your tutorials fill them. Thank you so much!
Your work is amazing. I learned a tonne from this video. The colour wheel for skin tone shadows was an eye opener. Also loved seeing the Noctis painting. One day I hope to paint him walking down the stairs with his weapons flying round him. Totally a cliche picture but I love it. I'm quite a ways from being able to draw that though. Top lesson learned from this is patience...let it all dry. So happy to have found your channel.
so pretty!
bless your art skills T v T)
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY FLAWLESS!!!! Water color is a medium that I'm way too intimidated to use because of how precise and delicate you have to be. I usually work in acrylic because "eh, if you don't like how something came out, you can paint over it," haha. I may have to reach outside my comfort zone, though, after seeing this. Bravo, good sir! Bravo.
Gosh, I find it so calming and satisfying to watch these watercolour videos with you explaining in the background.
Oh my God I tried out your tips and just painted the smoothest, most realistic looking skin I have every achieved with watercolors. This is the most helpful tutorial I have ever watched; my technique has been forever changed and I will now proceed to never paint skin another way again. Thank you so, so much.
I really love your Watercolor paintings of chole from Life is Strange dude!:)😍😍😍
how to colour hair..?
Alex Paul okay thank you
Nafleh Heart For watercolors or copics? He already has video for only copics.
And I think you are actually looking for watercolor tutorial for hair.
what a cutie plushie you have behind you❤
This is what I needed. This entire time I would just add skin color and then right after I would add my blush and shadows and more often than not I would get bad blooms and hard edges... Thank you so much for making this video!
That was just magical as you brought her to life. Her skin looked touchable!
FINALLY!... A SKIN TONE TUTORIAL FROM LAOVAAN!...
I have reached heaven

So ein fein gemaltes Aquarell sehe ich zum ersten Mal! Megaklasse!
deine wunderschönen Bilder waren eine Inspiration für mich selbst mit Aquarell anzufangen
I've worked in several other mediums but I'm just now dabbling in watercolor painting. This was very helpful! Thanks!
I absolutely love you for the progress bar during silence to know when you'll speak again. So many times I've skipped through wanting to hear explanations during tutorials, but having a visible sign to know kept me patient. And thats on top of you answering all my questions as soon as I think of them! Amazing!
i would love to see a video where you explain your process of creating those vibrant splashes of color that you add to some of your portraits. i love your work! you're such an inspiration and my number one favorite artist!
I just found your channel and I cannot tell you how grateful I am and how helpful these videos are! I am very new to watercolour but I am really enjoying working with it. Thanks again!
What an absolute awesome painting. I have never painted in watercolour before, not even one brushstroke, I can draw pretty good and do graphite portraits and have been asked regularly to do colour ones. After seeing this tutorial I am going to start watercolour from the very beginning ie; mixing skin tones so a very big thank you to you for setting me off. I look forward to seeing more of your tutorials.
Any tips from anyone when it comes to skin tones would be highly appreciated
i don't have a white watercolour but ive found a way to just put not too much but enough water and lightly paint the face, it works good enough. this tutorial helped me out a lot!
What I've been doing wrong this whole time is not letting the skin dry between layers. I could have been a pro this whole time!!
I loveee how you explain things so effortlessly, I so lovee your stylee
Excellent example of how to render skin. The part where you wet the area first is really helpful. Thank you so much. I love your work. You are so talented.
Omg thanks I've always wondered how you are able to achieve such deep and natural skins in your watercolor paintings ! Thanks!
WOW this video was brilliant but I feel I may need to watch it more than once! I'm looking forward to watching the whole video for this piece. Loved it 💖💖🇬🇧
I'm new to water colour and this tutorial gave me a lot of insight. I've been using color pencil for a while and really wanted to cross over into other medias. Thank you for doing this :)
this video couldn't have come at a better time for me. Thank you so very much for your work in teaching such a complex thing in a way that makes it so easy.
You are brilliant! One of my very favourite artists all time! Keep up the awesome work you make the world better!
you literally teach me something new everytime I watch you
Aaaaaaamaaaaziiing!! Thank you so much! I admire your work since the beginning and it's wonderful how you can explain your process so clearly and naturally.....I remember there was a translator in some of your videos or subtitles....you seriously had a gigantic talent!!! With her strength is my all time favorite. Thanks again and please keep sharing video like this because they are precious. 💜
Ah, Frozen too💜
Bloom, Petal....oh, well....there are a lot of favorites
Incredible. Thank you for sharing your process, that is very generous of you! You have the most perfect watercolors so again, thank you. I didn't even realize you had tutorials about your process. I feel like I have learned some key things that I have been missing. after watching this video i finally will give my first try at a water color portrait.
So far that's been the best explained tutorial I've seen on creating smooth transitions for painting the face. It looks so ethereal. So excited to learn this. I'm really hoping I will be able to be patient enough to do this all in pure watercolor.
When you first showed this noctis drawing in this video I nearly fell of my bed because THIS IS SO PRETTY I HAVEN'T SEEN SUCH A GOOD WATERCOLOR PAINTING THAT LOOKS SO SMOOTH

I love these videos. I think you're truly a great teacher because your voice is so calm and soothing as you go through the steps. It's encouragement without actual words like "You can do it". I've been using watercolour for awhile but I also learn so much from your videos. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Your skin tones are one of my favorites. This was so helpful, as watercolor is my favorite medium and I would love to have my skins as smooth as yours
Your art is SO *AMAZING*💕💕💕
Incredible lesson!!! I love your attitude and love of life!
Just found your page and absolutely BEAUTIFUL work Laovaan!!💖🥰
Thanks a lot sir. It has been a great help. You are the only person who has actually shown with such a detailed explanation on how to paint a portrait.
I would request you to please make separate videos for different types of eyes , nose and lips and specially how to give a 3D look to our painting e.g. nose coming out of the paper... It will be a great help sir....
sir, please make a separate video for color wheel and values, specially how to mix the right color, different methods of producing black color without affecting the basic theme of the painting..Thanks ...:)
Love the voice over and getting to see your cuteness! Really awesome video, its making me want to look for my cotmans.
Ur paintings looks just so.... Magical!
Could your please do a tutorial on painting realistic hair with watercolors next. I am really loving this series so far! Thank you for your awesome tutorials :)
This is a GREAT educational video for watercolors
Now this man is a real artist! So amazing how this is coming together!!!
You made it look so easy. ❤️. I haven’t done much with watercolor since they are my “fear” medium, but maybe one day I’ll overcome it and give a try.
I don't think I'd ever get bored of your art....so sincere...Just beautiful❤️
Laovaan the wizard! You can make the most incredible masterpieces! Thank you SOOOOO muuuuuch!
this is the best water color tutorial i ever watch. u made my day😄
Thank you so much Laovan for this amazing class.
this is the most helpful skin tone tutorial I've seen for watercolor so far! thank you!
Lovedd this tutorial! Thank you very much.
The graphics you showed earlier on in the video were pretty concise! I didn't think of making a colorwheel for skin tones.
I will be watching your channel. Thanks, Laovaan!
Oh my god Lao, you are the most wonderful human being in the world, I love your videos and they really are an inspiration for me.
I adore you and congratulations to the great talent you have.💖💖
i just drew out the line work for my first watercolor picture. I'm here to absorb as much info as I can before starting tomorrow
You explained this so clearly! Thank you!!
Fantastic. I was completely stuck until I watched your tutorial. Now I am able to move forward once again. Thank you so much.
Yay, Chloe from LIS! Love the Max in the background!
you are great! Thanks for sharing. the flesh color chart is AMAZING!
This was so interesting to watch as you brought this simple sketch to life! Your work is amazing ~~
I am amazed at how realistic and gorgeous this is.
All the waiting for the layers to dry would surely take a very long time? And a hell of a lot of patience!
Ohhhhhh, it makes sense now, that's why there's white watercolour hmmmm. Lots of people discourage the use of it but I'm glad there's a use for it now. Thanks!
my favourite way of colouring skin
Thank you!! So helpful! Love to watch you work!
Спасибо огромное за проделанную работу! Это просто шикарный урок!
great loved watching the skin tones and would love to see more
Finally the skin tutorial from Laovaan!! Thank you so much for sharing with us. Its a detail tutorial and very easy to understand.
By the way, I like Echolox's music too. Looking forward for both of your work 😀
I love your chloe picture! She's my favorite character
