    I've watched TONS of watercolor tutorials to learn how to use them but I've never understood how they do it. BUT the way you explain this REALLY helps. Thanks 😊

    Well this was just freakin' wonderful!
    2 Things:
    1. This video would be a great addition to your Drills playlist
    2. Mind is blown 🤯 by the significance of washing out the brush between blending strokes. No wonder my gradients look so heavy-handed and overworked. I've been skipping this step all along.
    Thank you so much for making this video. Much appreciated.

    Great video, getting the right amount of water and pigment is still tricky I find, but getting there ;) Glad you added too much water so you could show us how to fix it! :) Thanks for these very useful tips and drills!

  • @NaomiCoutureArt
    @NaomiCoutureArt 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Great tips, I also love adding my shadows and other colors while everything is wet. The colors just blend out nicely then. I also find it helpful to have two brushes on the go, one for placing the color down and a damp one for blending :)

  • @like2makethings

    This is most helpful, Emma. I have been searching for how to for darkening areas of dry watercolour for sometime now without success. This totally answers my questions of how to avoid blooms. Thank you.

    Hi Emma, thank you so much. That was a lot of help. I usually draw with graphite and in the way past I had done some acrylic but just wasn’t too fond of painting. I have been watching your videos, so I thought I would try my hand at watercolor. I am finding it to be a challenge lol. I of course tried my first picture on something hard 🙄. I painted my dachshund of 18 yrs that has passed on 😢, but I had a struggle with blending. One thing, I used Arches hot press which I’ve found out was a wrong choice so my next dog, my Chihuahua of 17 yrs. which has passed also, I have bought cold press and I’m hoping with that, and this wonderful lesson, will help. So I said all of that to say, THANK YOU for taking the time to share your talent with us all and if you ever feel down and out, just keep going cause I’ll tell you, you are a blessing to us out here that watch you and a lot of us, you never hear from are being blessed by you, you just never know how many people you are touching. You are appreciated!

    Omg. The "it might not be you, it might be your paper" is SO TRUE. I thought I sucked at watercolor but bought a little arches pad and my hummingbird looked good! I wasn't even using high quality paint. (Artify pans) Thank you!

    How do you stop your paper from warping? I have 300gsm paper but it always warps when I paint and I try to limit the amount of water I'm using but for washes and the like, it's really difficult.
