Sideway stroke

learn how to paint a watercolor portrait painting of a child from photo with Yong

Using a round brush with medium among of water, I first get the yellow up to the middle part of the brush, and take the red only with the tip.

I lay the brush about 10-degree angle from the paper surface, and move it slowly. A beautiful blend of colors, from red, orange, to yellow has been created with one stroke.
