Mixing flesh colors with watercolor paint is a challenge for many artists. The unforgiving nature of watercolors and the difficulty in correcting colors once applied to paper can intimidate an artist when working on a portrait or figure painting. Flesh tones in watercolors should contain a mixture of red, yellow and blue hues adjusted throughout the painting to realistically capture shadows, lights and variations in flesh coloration. Flesh tone palettes will also vary according to the skin tone and ethnicity of the subject to be painted.
