However, this painting tutorial can also be applied to any painting, whether it's landscapes, objects or abstract.

Me too! Been trying to focus on broadening my skin tone abilities! Recently did a video on painting a darker skin toned male (men are a weaker point for me too so double whammy!) Think I'm getting there learning from watching lots of other artists to help! ❤️
14:40 is when the painting starts

I really love your tutorials. Theyre a big help. I love how detailed you are. Thank you very much 💗 at this point, you're my, and a lot of people's art teacher 😆
It's really nice to see how such a stylized technique plays out, you have a lot of very unorthodox or "untraditional" ways of going about watercolour, and I think it's important to show that you can really expand and change the methods into different unique outcomes like that
Oooooh girl! I’m so excited to watch.
I loved your long video. Long is what I need as a beginner using watercolor. For 10 years I’ve been painting portraits in oil on canvas. Watercolor is much more of a challenge ! I can work and rework a nose for example in oil, but not so much with watercolor. There are many surprises using watercolor as to what the paint will do all on its’ own !
SOO EXCITED 💜
this is srsly the best tutorial i've watched so far....TYSOOOM
This was phenomenal! Instant save. Instant classic. I’m going to try some of these techniques this week
Very beautifully explained every single step of the painting. These techniques are so helpful for me to improve my painting. Looking forward for more.❤️
I'm so excited! Your channel helped me to learn to draw faces and hair and I've been needing to learn how to paint faces in watercolor for so long!!! 💜💜💜

thank youuu! 💕 i hope this video helped :)
they're both extremely stunning
this is actually the only one that showed a different technique in applying watercolor. others starts with light color then layers the dark tones. yours is different which is really cool. that sums up that watercolor is very versatile to different styles. labyu
I really love how you included mixing/creating colors and the different techniques for painting. I learned so much more from this one video! Thank you!

OMG, this was soooo helpful, I can finally paint faces now lol.Thank you soo much Zyra❤
Best color mixing tutorial for me.
Ohh I'm so excited 😍😍😍❤❤
Zyra B, Thank you so much for techniques. I enjoy a lots!
finally some helpfull video! love the way you not talking about shading...scetching and stuf.. just painting. I think it is very helpfull that you ad those sequence in your video. Thank you very much!!
Thank you so much! Ive been trying so hard to learn how to paint portraits with correct shading and a nice skin tone. The way you break it down I'm able to follow and execute. Mine still doesn't look as good as yours (I know that will take tons of practice!) but it isn't a streaky, blobby mess like my earlier attempts. This tutorial is head and shoulders above any other portrait tutorial I've seen.

wow this solves all the mystery.. thanks for doing this. Also I have a doubt...the sketch before the painting, is it different for painting and for doing the normal sketching like does shading differ???
I love your style of painting. I'd like to know the brush you're using. As you paint the bristles seem sturdier. Thanks for sharing :)
