There is an artist tape that is specifically for taping your paper for watercolor painting 🖼️.

This is so damn pretty!

Hi, i just watched your tutorial on how paint a gradient. That was amazing. Is it possible to achieve a smooth wash "wet on dry" on a hot pressed paper? I have been trying to achieve a smooth wash but the paper absorbs the water quickly making it almost impossible to get a smooth wash.

Micropore tape from the pharmacy works really well and wont rip

This was fun! Those colors are so pretty and your dupes were pretty great, especially that homemade watercolor at the end you did.

New to watercolor and I learned a lot from this video, thanks!

Hi, what's the brush you're using please ?

I really wanted to see your haul but the audio of the video was not good in my computer and I couldn't watch for more than two minutes

Magic scotch tape I bought today It suppose to be good, I'll let you know!

Nice review...however the volume is so low....while the background sound is louder and better.

I wonder if skipping the tape altogether and using blu-tac instead would work. Or take an oversized piece of flat cardboard and stick the w/c paper to it with double-sided tape, then tape the whole production to the table. You should be able to strip the painting off the backing, perhaps damaging the back of the painting a bit but who cares..

The pinkish/bluish one on the far right looks EXACTLY like Daniel Smith Rose of Ultramarine! Thanks for reviewing these, as I've been looking for reviews on them before I purchased.

that cat is so cute, watched till the end ❤❤❤

I am just a little late on commenting, but felt compelled to let you know a couple things. First of all, beautiful work. There is definitely something mysterious and secretive here. The eyes are spot on. And I also love the hair. I think you might be just a little too hard on yourself about that. The main thing I wanted to tell you is that this inspired me to get out my colored pencils and do a little somethin' somethin'. I hope you are receiving this as a huge compliment as I am intending. Watching you do this was so relaxing and just kept pushing me to get everything out and get started. If only 1 person was inspired to follow suit and do a project themselves, then the work you did to film and post this was totally worth it. Not to mention the relaxation it must bring to all who watch. I hope that you keep putting your projects online for the world. I for one will be here to watch 😊

Amazing I love your color use. Thanks 4 the share!

Just tried to watch you Japan Art Haul that you posted 2 months ago. Unfortunately I could hardly understand you. Your voice was so gravely and you talked so fast it was impossible for me to understand. I did use the caption button so I could follow you.

Came out beautiful! This was such a fun video! And mesmerizing. There’s something about watching art being created that is so soothing but engrossing. You are so comfortable on camera it’s like listening to a friend.

this is wonderful, i love the shading ❤❤

In the U.S., I use Scotch blue masking tape and rarely have any issues. Years ago I had a job setting up audio for stage shows; we used tons of masking tape for holding down microphone cords. Each day, the venue was required to provide us with the tape and consequently we received many brands of the same tape. Quality varied hugely depending on the manufacturer of the tape. If you haven't I'd recommend trying different brands until you find the right one for you. Second, when removing tape from a drawing, I've found the gently pulling it off at a 90 degree angle to the direction of the tape minimizes tears. Thank you for this video.

Those little square watercolor sheets with the paintbrushes and squares on them are for swatching. Very fun!

thats adorable, i love it, its soooo cute ❤❤

I’ve seen those harmonia colors on Aliexpress but haven’t been able to convince myself to try them. Edit: I found your swatch video

Using a hair dryer (the heat) weakens the sticky on back & if do it quickly & towards the side but so far works great! Tape found that give bleed free borders use “blue painter’s tape” but says for sharp lines & so far doing it’s job. Ty for these videos & if keeping my whole page wet (as a beginner) isn’t easy. More practice!

❤🙋🏼‍♀️ Fabulous shopping trip, thank you for sharing. Hello, I’m Fran in Tennessee

Wow, you've got so many lovely pens and supplies here! I'm not a huge fan of gouache myself but I would have splurged too, holbein is so much cheaper in Japan ❤

Hey I discovered your channel few hours ago, I love your videos and I'm glad to see you released a new one! Have a great day ♥

Use a hairdryer

If you heat the tape with a hairdryer, it should come up cleanly. Alternatively, you can use console tape (also known as washi tape), which doesn't tear most papers. Legion Stonehenge is notorious for tearing, but the hairdryer method works great.

If you’re having trouble with the color leaking under the tape you can try doing a coat of a clear poly or white paint over the edge of the tape first. This is a house painter trick for getting sharp lines. I’ve never tried it with watercolor on paper,usually latex on Sheetrock, so don’t know if it will effect the edge near the tape making it less absorbent but maybe worth some thought

to take off the tape you might try heating it a little with a blowdrier

I do not recommend the talens gouache for a gouache palette specifically. It reactivates very minimally.

Beautiful blending technique. Thanks for sharing

i have a question that im hoping youre gping to answer asap..how long did it take to dry?😭 im going to do this for my exam/test tmmr and the time for us to do it is just one hour..hope u can help!

Hi thank you a great tutorial. I notice you didn't stretch your paper first can you tell me how the paper didn't cockle given the amount of water you put into it?

Greetings from xpertarts 🙂💖💖💖💖

Suuupperb 😍💞💞

Ossam 👍

I recommend the M. Graham titanium white gouache! And adding glycerin and/or honey is essential with the Holbein gouache or once it completely dries it becomes a wasted crumbling rock. (I learned that the hard way…) even if you are vegetarian/vegan using already purchased (or gifted) products containing animal products is far more respectful (and less wasteful) than refusing to use it at all. Overall I think gouache has become my favourite medium tied with digital art. I advise people get and try using makeup brushes with gouache; my cheap dollar store makeup brushes have been a great addition to my paintbrushes. I also have been mixing watercolour and gouache and using non standard often coloured papers. Interesting video thanks. Also I’ve been using empty half and full pans for gouache and pre mixing lots of colours and pre wetting which has been excellent for me as I’ve been painting easier, more and a lot faster!

I’d like to experiment with style more but tend to go back to what I’m used to!

My gold standard watercolor paper is hahnemuhle papers specially Cezzane and turner series, They have best and most durable sizing so far. Since my art store hasn't refill their stock, im eyeing on this paper cause the other brand they have is saunders waterford which i find to have a very weak sizing to my taste. I normally do heavy wet layers, and saunder couldnt handle it, to the point that the colors are bleading everywhere even at the back of the paper. Because of weak sizing it just keep absorbing water after 2-3 layers, you can no longer make a puddle of water after a few layers.. and you loose the wet to wet capabilities of watercolor. Since you find it less absorbent than saunders, i might as well as try for the meantime.

medical, tacky tape

Hi what is the difference between ombre and gradient?

Used water or glue

These are lovely bright colours, and handy tip about burnt sienna and white. I’d add turquoise, but that’s all.

#love it 😍😍

Washi tape (Japanese) or stick tape to your shirt first

Amazing 👏

I absolutely hate plastic pallets, but I do buy the 72 well double decker mijello pallet for my gouche. It has a plastic shelf that sits ontop of the main pallet, so that way all the wells store face up ( so even if the gouache crumbles, it won't fall out onto the rest of your pallet )... plus has 72 wells! I also add glycerin to my gouache also, but they will still always crack. It just allows them to rewet to full strength like wet gouache. However I do only use schmincke and Holbein gouache, because M. Graham can get moldy and way to sticky feeling and winsor and newton designer gouche isn't lightfast. I do absolutely love how the W&N gouache lays down, but even their " lightfast " colors fade a bit. Designer gouche is just designed and formulated differently for a different purpose... to design, create and scan. Its exactly what is says it is, to use for designing. It's perfectly matte for scanning and doesn't require to be lightfast. So anyway, I highly suggest the 72 well mijello double decker pallet for gouche. Hope you have a great day

In starting,did u put water on the whole paper or varnish
