Hello there! I’m Adriana and I want to give you a welcome to “Watercolor techniques to paint skin tones”. I’m a huge fan of colors so over the years I develop a way to paint skin tones that allows me to take the most out of my palette and that I think it brings such a wonderful look to my paintings.

And now I want to share it with you, so in this class, I cover topics like underpainting, color mixing and the color zones of the face.

You can apply these tips and techniques to any skin but in this class, I focused and applied the exercises to the face. And I know, painting a face can be intimidating and that's is why a big part of the class is me sharing 3 different activities for you to choose based on your skill and the time you want to invest practicing the techniques of this class.

Also, I share a bunch of printables and resources to help you tackle the exercises. However, for this class, it's a good idea to have some previous experience regarding how to use watercolors.

I had a great time creating this class and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. So let’s start painting!
