Here is a list of top artists who are famous for their amazing watercolor portraits. I have selected the best watercolor artists to showcase their beautiful paintings. Watercolor is a medium that demands great skill and experience. Painting a portrait using this medium with utmost perfection is often a challenge for beginners in watercolor painting.
Painting a watercolor portrait requires a good idea of light and shade. It needs to be handled carefully to obtain a natural look for the painting. After several layers, one can bring the painting into a beautiful piece of artwork. Sometimes you can paint from life or can use a photograph for reference. Use the largest brush that seems comfortable for the area, and only transition to a smaller brush for greater control or finer detail when absolutely necessary. Don’t get caught up in trying to use a small brush to cover a large area. It would be much easier if you know your subject deeply. This would make things much easier while painting. I have gone through several watercolor portrait paintings and hand-picked a few spectacular portraits for my readers. Enjoy! 🙂

Mary Whyte is one of the best contemporary portrait painters. Harriet Johnston is also profoundly talented. Her portraits are among the rarest and most valuable.
Mumbai always fascinated Artist Bhuwan Silhare. He made a series of paintings in and around V.T.(CST) from different angles at different times and different seasons to bring out the best profile of the structures, to give back to the city which never failed to charm him. He held his solo exhibition of paintings – Mumbai Forever at the Kamalnayan Bajaj Art Gallery in Mumbai.
I paint in a similar genre as Samir Mondal. My portraiture works are at lobenbergart.com. An article on my self portraiture will appear in the 2014 September issue of “The Art Of Watercolour” magazine.
Wow!! Your paintings are absolutely stunning! I love it..I would like to select you as the featured artist here very soon 🙂
I’m a fan of your work- I have a board of it on Pinterest. I’ll check out your site
It’s a fantastic collection – very impressive and inspiring water colours.

Watercolour portrait of a child with cup, titled ‘Nana’s Cup’ by Canadian watercolour artist Allan Thomas Loder.
These are great. I recently found another artist, Jason Edward Collinge, whom I like a lot. Jason does some amazing water colour pieces using only the three primary hues, red, blue, and yellow. If you would like to view them they are in the Visual Work section of his web-site among his various galleries. Check them out if you have time.
i have been amazed at how powerful watercolor paintings can be.
