Watercolor Portrait Studies - Skin Tones

Watercolor Portrait Studies
- Skin Tones -

Painting Studies is one of the most relaxing and stress busting activity I know of.

I am a firm believer in the necessity to show up and make art daily. Rain or shine, motivated or not, I always try to work on something, anything. This way, I keep my creative habit going. Good art and better skills grow out of discipline and practice. But sometimes, I don"t feel inspired. Sometimes I don't know what to paint. Sometimes, I feel discouraged with all my work in progress. 

Studies are the solution. They are a means to sharpen my skills. They are quick to do, and so, if I mess up, I don't destroy hours of work. To draw and to paint requires the capacity see. And to see demands mindful attention. It is a meditative act that focuses the mind. 

Recently, I actually ended up filming a couple portrait studies for my YouTube Channel. 

Also, my YouTube channel, just like this blog, is brand new. Getting the ball rolling in the beginning is the hardest part. If you like this video, give it a thumbs up, or share it to your fellow creative spirits, or subscribe to my channel. It would be much appreciated! THANKS! 

Until next time, au revoir.
