I totally get the feeling! I am always intimidated when I start a portrait:) My recommendation is to do a study first, to work out the colors and main challenging points. This way you will take the pressure off the first try and make it into a far more enjoyable learning experience. Good luck!

I would love to see you do portraits of people in different stages of life to see how you handle the wrinkles that are a part of aging. Lastly, I am so enjoying my Patreon membership that for next month I am bumping up to your top tier to show my appreciation for the immense planning, time and thorough explanations you include (and the many links and listed resources) in every tutorial you share. Thank you!!! ❤
Wow! This was so helpful! Breaking down the skin colors and why and how we perceive them is amazing. I will need to watch this about 100 more times to make it penetrate my thick skull. Your work is incredible! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent!

Beautiful video ❤️ I would love to see you work on African and Indian faces (especially with their jewellery)
More portrait lessons please!! Fantastic video! Thank you!
Wish you would do more portraits! I particularly liked how you added green and blue commenting on blood patterns in skin tones

Let me know when they are up. I'm subscribed. I do a lot of portraits and am always looking for inspiration and tips. @@AnnaBucciarelli
Thank you sp much for explaining the blue/green effect in subsurface scattering! I've only ever heard of subsurface scattering being how the blood adds red to the transparency of the skincells and never understood how/why the blueish green effect happened. Now that I know the sience behind it, I can make the shadows even better! Thank you!! People think I'm weird or trying to take a backwards and wrong approach in my art in needing to know the science behind why things work the way they do to make my art more accurate. I've seen people paint shadows on skin as literal blues and greens and always gound it to be wrong because I didn't understand why (that and maybe the examples had the blues and greens overpower the actual skintone to where it looked wrong lol) but now I know why and how to use it correctly!
Wow! Thank you for sharing this fantastic video! I am currently a pastel artist but after watching you work, I think I'm going to cross over to watercolor. Thanks again!!
I would really like if u can explain the same concepts with dark skin tones. I always miss the shadow parts for darker skin tone, it would be helpful if u can guide in those topics.
Beautiful talent!
Beautiful!
Really lovely!!
Anna, I would love to see more portraits. I hope you will be posting this and may others on your Pateron site. Beautifully done!!!
I like this painting!
A super tutorial, Anna. Thank you!
Brilliant! Thank you so much.
Thank you for this tutorial ❤
Anna, this portrait is beautiful. I would be interested in seeing more portraits. I'm terrified of them but want to try one in watercolor. Your color palette is so interesting and I learned so much as you explained the process. I'm thankful you stressed the awkward stage. Thank you!
Thank you very much. For this beautiful video. Your voice sounds from heaven. Iam from Colombia. I start my project of watercolor this January 2024 let' it see how much i learn in 1 year.
Marvelous work 🙏
Amazing as always! I cherish every second of your tutorials. Thank you so much!
Amazing and gorgeous as always. Your work is impeccable and impressive. I was so happily surprised to see you do a portrait! I’d love to see a tutorial on olive skin with green/yellow undertones and dark brown eyes, common to Mediterranean coloring 🙂 Thank you for all of your helpful and thoughtful information ❤️
This video was so helpful. I have just started to try painting portraits and I really would be interested in seeing videos about how to paint darker skin tones, particularly brown skin tones with a warm undertone. I find a lot of tutorials online just focus on fairer skin tones. When I have found tutorials on darker skin tones they are usually for dark skin tones with a cool undertone. I would like to understand how to better capture a warm undertone with darker skin.
Thank you! I've learned so much from your lessons and look forward to seeing more.
It's fantastic.. I can't express the words for this painting..

Would love to more tutorials on portrait painting in watercolor ❤ This was helpful 👍
Thank you so much for sharing this! I’m new to watercolor portraits and this helped me so much. I would love it if you would share your approach to olive and darker skin tones as well.
This is stunning. I don't paint portraits as my chosen subjects are botanicals and birds, but watching you paint this masterpiece gave me hints about shadows and backgrounds in all paintings.
thank you so much❤❤❤
soooo beautiful!...thank you. im excited to practice
This was so helpful, I would love to learn more about color picking for portraits
Is there anything you can’t paint?😄 beautiful painting Anna! Personally I hate portraits hahha just because I dislike people in general 😆 but I sure am able to appreciate your technique and skills! Beautiful
amazing!!
It's help me a lot, thank you sooo much !!!!!
Thankyou ❤️ I’d love to see more watercolour portrait tutorials 😊🙏❤️

This has been massively helpful for me! I bought a skin tone that I never end up needing, because I use the approximate combination of colors that you suggested! I'm still a beginner at watercolor, and when I attempted my first few pieces it looked awful, which was frustrating since I have a already have a long background in skretching and drawing with a pencil. Thank you ❤

Thank you for your feedback! I totally see it 😊 in retrospect I could have left it without the background color and it would be ok on its own too 👌
It's so nice!!! Thanks for sharing your art. I'd love the video on dark skins.
Wonderful tutorial. Mixing colors is where I struggle and also when to use wet on wet as opposed to dry. I like that you tell us
What a great tutorial. Currently embarking on the watercolor portraits journey and find this video really helpful! Thank you. 💜

What an extremely beautiful portrait this is, absolutely gorgeous 😍. The thing I love most about your work is the delicate and subtle shifting of colours that create so much depth and interest. The colour choices in all your work results in a mesmerising effect that's just an absolute pleasure to view. Thanks for sharing your wonderful tips with us, it's fantastic that you share so much knowledge with us its so inspirational. Thanks again .

I just got commissioned to do a portrait of my late mother in law. Portraits aren't really my specialties, I've only done a couple. Your tips are very helpful!
I'm new at watercolor, but have ben doing it long enough to know portraits are what I want to excel in. I searched to see if you have other portrait videos or classes and didn't find any. If you ever start a portrait class, I hope I find it!
Wonderful - your content is so informative. Thank you, Anna!

Lovely lesson. Would like to see you do a 3/4 turn man wearing glasses
😮 Wow. I don't know how I've missed this one? I thought I'd watched all of your videos multiple times. I got into trying watercolour because of seeing Agnes Cecile's portraits a few years ago. Faces were my goal but I still haven't tried one because they're scary. But I have learned more in this video than in four years of watching (hundreds?) of portrait tutorials. I always learn so much from you but didn't know you even did faces! I suppose this is my sign to try my hand with it. ❤ Might watch this again a few dozen more times first though. 😁 THANK YOU!!
Great video as always! Thanks so much for making it. Great advice and I learned quite a bit. Plus you have a very calm voice and it makes for a very relaxing enjoyable time. Much ❤️ from Nashville TN USA 🇺🇸

Thank you Chrissie! I would go for my Quinacridones from the pink range. Quin Red, warmer Quin coral or cooler Quin Magenta (depending on the skin temperature 😊
Beautiful work. I would like to know what kind of thin brush you use?
What blue did you use? So beautiful!
Thank you. I’m worried about using opera pink and it’s fugitive. What other pink would do?
