I can’t stress watercolor quality enough. There’s such a difference between $1 and $10 paints. I often get the question of how mine are smooth... it’s simple. Quality!
Yes! Some people get mad whenever I mention it's important to invest even just a little bit more into watercolors because it makes such a huge difference! You can create good art with cheap sets for sure, but for this to happen you already have to know how to use them properly. As a beginner you would just get frustrated and give up!
makoccino I feel the EXACT SAME! I’m not hating, but the harsh reality is you get what you pay for... but it upsets people every time I say it. I just hate the thought of someone thinking watercolor is difficult to work with and giving up because of a cheap set. :(
YES! omg. I can't stress this enough. I'm usually the type of person that goes for cheaper stuff in the begining (to test out the medium) and the way good quality watercolours work is such a different one compared to bad quality ones, that once I got some better colours it was as if I started in a completely new medium!
What you draw is what you feel inside, learning art is making your expressions in form of drawings. Improving art means expressing your feelings in form of art and you choose yourself how you wanna express it better. There are no mistakes, there is just room for improvement in expressing your feelings.
I try to think of every blank canvas or piece of paper as a place to play and experiment, not the place a potential masterpiece needs to go. The experiment didn't go as you might have hoped? That's okay, you were just trying something out and learning from it for the next experiment. Making a mess and disliking certain results is just part of the creative learning process for everyone.
I needed to take notes and I want to share them with you: 0:43 make sure you're using the right paper, mainly because normal paper doesn't work well with water colors 2:08 make sure to choose good quality colors, as cheap ones are gonna look less pigmented and make blending harder 3:54 be careful not to use too much or too little water. Personal suggestion: use the back of a painting you don't like to try and recreate the effect you're searching for 5:22 color bleeding 6:06 how to avoid weird staining and obtain a smooth gradient: apply a thin coat of water first, then apply paint in one go (premix it before if you find it easier) from top to bottom; in you want to intensify the color or add another one, wait for the first layer to fully dry or else you'll get staining. 7:49 muddy colors are explained in another video in which she explains how to mix colors properly, that video is gold
I was so lucky with my Windsor and Newton water colour set. I found the 36 pan set in a charity shop for £5 with only 1 colour having been used 😍 don't know who give it away but I'm thankful they did
I use both a cheap hobby craft palette (£7) and a slightly more expensive “Major Brushes” set (maybe £15) and they give relatively good results. As I’m only doing GCSE grade artwork (and I mainly prefer some good ol acrylic or biro/fineliner ink) I find that they work just fine, as I use them for background/washes for analysises or title pages
I feel stupid for asking but could you make a video on just the basic steps on how to watercolor? I am a beginner but I really want to try to learn how.
FINALLY I FOUND A REAL TUTORIAL All others are just like: "Hey u don't know water painting? Don't worry come with me!!'' " *LET'S TRY MAKING A PROFESSIONAL SCENERY AS IT IS FOR THE BEGINNERS* " Edit: I wrote this comment 2 years ago why are y'all still replying Edit2: it's been 3 years now... lmao I'm dying from nostalgia Edit3: ...hi it's been 4 years wtf😭 genuinely rethinking life rn
Avidha Bansal You can still learn quite a bit from those tutorials as well. Even beginners. The difference is those same techniques are being practiced and applied to a bigger picture, rather than small samples.
@@liamina3563 I don't think so. Because the person who's making the artwork might know all the tricks/ways how to draw professionally. But the viewer doesn't. By just watching someone drawing a masterpiece, you can't just draw a masterpiece. So people who make videos for beginners should actually make it suitable for beginners
#makoficationsquad Due to the limitations of cheap art supplies, I'd love to see a video demonstrating the best way to use them rather than just throwing them out. Maybe use them for crafts, or with limited palettes, no blending, repurposing them, or just making them into decorations.

Hey guys! Happy Saturday! I'm finally back from America! Even though I'm still recovering from my jet lag (9hrs difference is too much for me T_T), I feel already so much more inspired and motivated to create new and fun content for you guys and I hope you find today's video helpful!
makoccino hai! It’s the little girl u met at Vidcon and with the died hair and the one who asked u if I’ve seen u anywhere before😂😊😊😊#makoficationsquad
I think it was Van Gogh who said it, if they say you can't paint, then paint and you've proven them wrong. So... anyone can paint as long as you start painting. :)
I watched just 2 of your videos but it's INCREDIBLE how much I just learned. Wow. Thank you for doing these comparisons, it's so much easier to see the difference when you can see how it looks like.
Dude, where i live its like RM100+ (malaysian currency). So i buy tubes (since it cheaper than pans) and if i really need to use pans like maybe for traveling, i just make my own.
There's a difference between Windsor and Newton Cotman, which is their student grade line (still very good) and Windsor and Newton professional grade watercolors, which are more $. I suspect the $10 set in the video was Windsor and Newton Cotman.
I live in Bangladesh, and there's a 34 color shade watercolor set selling for BDT 485 which equals to somewhere around 6 dollars. Honestly I don't how it's not on sale but still that cheap, plus the quality is very decent.
Thank you for pointing out the quality of paint affects it's transfer on paper and for explaining how to avoid getting the cauliflower effect. Honestly, it has been my main problem with painting for months. Thanks!
0:20 This reminds me of when I was using watercolor and forgot to let an area around a golden fish I was painting dry, so the fish's color seeped into the area around it, but actually made it look better because it looked like an aura around it
I started with water colors using the Van Gogh set of 12. Most reviews out there say they're extremely comparable to artist grade paints. They're really amazing and mostly single pigments. Since buying them, I've built my set up with a few more colors from Schminke, and to be honest, I can barely tell a difference. GO BUY VAN GOGH IF YOU WANT TO START PAINTING WITH WATER COLORS!!! You WILL NOT regret the purchase. It's really unbelievable the quality you get for your money.
Can you make video about"DO & DON'T acrylic painting: mistakes,tips and struggles.'' That will be amazing, becouse I make a lot of mistakes and I need little help!😓 Please make this video!! P.S your video was amazing and I love it!!!❤❤❤
I kid you not, EVERYTIME I think "hey I should work on this/learn how to paint this" you upload a video about exactly what i need. Yesterday i told myself that i was going to work on my watercolor skills and here you are giving me more advise. I love your channel! ❤
Wow. A lot of what you’ve said resonates with me! I’m an extreme beginner! And I have been struggling with the background washes. After watching this, I can really see where I fail, and why my colours aren’t blending as well as they should be! Now I’ll practice more! But I’m not even going to start on cheap paints! Even for an extreme beginner like me, I could see the difference immediately, when I use the cheap stuff. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This video will really help begginers in painting especially because we don't know techniques that can really help improve our art. Thanks and make many more.👍👍
Makocinno, I recently thought of a weird hack or 'hack'. I cut out sponges of different sizes and used it for water color. The surface will be smooth and if you brush the sponge properly and nicely, the colour will be very beautiful. Also, to combine colours, I use one third of the sponge for each different colour and it works (for me). If i want to create gradations, i watercolour the sponge at the top and bottom and I leave a small gap in the middle and theres a slight blend in the middle which is kinda nice. I thought that the sponge will be a good material as it absorbs water or something.....and it looks suitable for water colour. Do tell me if this is a bad idea so that I know this is not good for some reasons, and let me know if this method is acceptable. ..♥♥♥♥ thank you for all your videos and hacks/tips. They are as amazing and stunning as you. I will support you and watch your videos forever. Sorry for uttering nonsense but I really appreciate if you reply me. Thank you.♥♥♥ #makoficationsquad
Yes, please! I would enjoy your review of different paint sets/brands at various prices. You could help us save money and have more successes early on. Many thanks!
I received some of the cheap art supplies as gifts so feel somewhat obligated to use them. On the other hand, I'm afraid to use the more expensive supplies because I feel the pressure to make it come out perfectly! LOL
@@shitalkanitkar5995 My aunt used to practice all the time before she painted the real thing to see the composition, colors, and brush strokes that she wanted to use. The good paper and watercolor paint do behave different differently. Much of her work was acrylic and canvas which can be expensive also.
#makoficationsquad your painting skills are literally out of this world mako! The last tip is the one i found most helpful. Thank you and keep making these awesome videos!
makoccino Ohhh, Im just joking, Hehehe I know there so many peoples at here because of your talent and your videos. Sorry if I make you feel bad.. I Didn't mean to do that.. 😅
I used normal printer paper once on my art/mapeh subsject since i didn't know that there is watercolor paper😂 But i got a pretty good grade on it and my friends liked it too😀
Awesome video !!! My daughter and i just got back from Michaels craft store and got pain and paper. Now we will watch your tutorials to see what to do next :) I got the Koi water colors and she got Winster & Newton.
Omg!! The tip about the cauliflower effect completely helped me out! I should really lower the amount of water I’m using, and be patient to let everything dry! Layering the paint over a dry layer would help me much more than painting a new color over it right away!! Thanks so much!! I love your videos they’re so helpful calm and encouraging!
Hello:) thanks for great tips! I would have one more question, I am a total beginner and I strugle with the actual mixing technique of colors. When I mix a color in water, it is always pretty transparent on paper..I tried to use less water, but then it's pretty difficult to get a good dip of paint. (I use schminke paints in pans) so a video where you show the actuall process od mixing would be great, in all videos artists take either the color directly from the pan or have their colors already mixed..thank you :)
This video is need to be rewatched to fully understand every problem thank you very much for all the knowledge you shared miss your voice was calm and beautiful i really enjoyed the video
thank you!! This helped me a lot! Whenever I did a painting the watercolour would sit still so I couldn't make gradients, now I realise that I have cheap watercolours 😁 I also didn't know you were supposed to wet the surface before painting
Can you review camel/camlin/faber castell water colours? I would really appreciate it. I have been wanting to try water colour but doubt the quality of the water colours.
Excellent! I’ve been struggling with watercolors, and Mako was able to explain how to avoid all of the difficulties I was encountering. I followed along with her tutorial 'Watercolor Painting Ideas for Beginners | Wet in Wet Technique | Art Journal Thursday Ep. 39’ and created what I consider a painting worth keeping. Thanks so much!
What happens if there's an emergency that calls me away from my painting? Is there anything I can do to protect it from drying out, or am I just out of luck?
Hey Makoccino! I've been subscribed to your channel since you have had 184 000 followers, and I just love your channel, and am so proud to be part of the Makoccino family:-)
#makoficationsquad Late again and again😖 I use cheap watercolor stuff and i'm still learning.I buy cheap stuff to save money🙂 It's pretty good but it's not as good as the expensive or higher priced one.
Thank you for posting such helpful videos for beginners! I was very frustrated when I started out painting with water colors, but after watching your tutorials it cleared up a lot of questions I had.💕
i'm in love with your channel! you inspired me to start with watercolor once again. i kinda stopped using it because it was hard to control it. i watched some of your videos, and i'm in the game again. thanks! #makoficationsquad
They are usually super chalky! Too bad they are all called watercolors, but there is such a huge difference between the proper watercolor paints and the "fake" ones :(
Hey nice vid...these hacks of dos and don'ts are literally helpful... Just I don't get how to give contrast and brighten or highlight some parts...plz plz make a vid on it...#makoficationsquad...
I should really buy proper watercolour paper. I’ve been using printing paper until now, and that’s the reasons I can never make my artwork look good. Like after just 1 layer, the paper crumples up, and the paint leaks through!

Kasey Golden quick question so I got 12 watercolor tubes for around $10ish is that good or bad should I go for a more expensive watercolors or no?
YES! omg. I can't stress this enough. I'm usually the type of person that goes for cheaper stuff in the begining (to test out the medium) and the way good quality watercolours work is such a different one compared to bad quality ones, that once I got some better colours it was as if I started in a completely new medium!

Sometimes you don't have to know what to do. Just have fun. Water color is really fun and pretty things can happen just by playing with it.

Can you review camel/camlin/faber castell water colours? I would really appreciate it. I have been wanting to try water colour but doubt the quality of the water colours.
Excellent! I’ve been struggling with watercolors, and Mako was able to explain how to avoid all of the difficulties I was encountering. I followed along with her tutorial 'Watercolor Painting Ideas for Beginners | Wet in Wet Technique | Art Journal Thursday Ep. 39’ and created what I consider a painting worth keeping. Thanks so much!
just did a watercolour painting and i was so happy to see this

Nerding out on paper is another level of love. :P
What happens if there's an emergency that calls me away from my painting? Is there anything I can do to protect it from drying out, or am I just out of luck?
You have motivated me soooooo much ! I love drawing and painting just because of you!#notificationsquad
But i kinda like the patchy look...
Just me? Okay cool.
POTATOSHOW I feel like the patchy look is like what watercolors are known for
Ofcourse you can use it to your advantage and do it intentionally but most people want smooth effects with watercolor!

Late again and again😖
I use cheap watercolor stuff and i'm still learning.I buy cheap stuff to save money🙂
It's pretty good but it's not as good as the expensive or higher priced one.
Wow! I've just started watercolour, and I was inspired by you! Thanks for helping me by finding my love for art!!
#makoficationsquad
aah all this time i was using the wrong paper 😐
Thank u for the video. it was really helpful ❤
Such a soothing, soft voice, nice video ☺️
Thank you so much!
Could you please try cheap water colour sets from India?
Thank you for posting such helpful videos for beginners! I was very frustrated when I started out painting with water colors, but after watching your tutorials it cleared up a lot of questions I had.💕
i'm in love with your channel! you inspired me to start with watercolor once again. i kinda stopped using it because it was hard to control it. i watched some of your videos, and i'm in the game again. thanks! #makoficationsquad
Aww that's awesome!
i use crayola watercolors alot and i love them alot. i might switch to something else but im literally in love with crayola watercolors.
How can I know if the watercolor is FAKE??
They are usually super chalky! Too bad they are all called watercolors, but there is such a huge difference between the proper watercolor paints and the "fake" ones :(
makoccino Ohh, thank you very much! 😍
Also the price!
I use watercolors from an art kit for 5 year olds, but it works for me!
I know I must follow the path of Mako!!! Lots of love from Romania! 😍
Yayyy finally mako
I love u sooooo muchhh
U are sooo sweet
♥

Can I use watercolor tubes?
of course!
Yep I use tubes
I would love to see reviews on your different watercolor paints! ♥️
Hey nice vid...these hacks of dos and don'ts are literally helpful... Just I don't get how to give contrast and brighten or highlight some parts...plz plz make a vid on it...#makoficationsquad...
Nice compliment
Best drawing channel I have ever seen
Thanks it helps me a alot
Honestly, I love the "before " painting way more than "after " one 😍
niiiiiice
Omg! This is soooo helpful! I really love it! #makoficationsquad 💖💕
I should really buy proper watercolour paper. I’ve been using printing paper until now, and that’s the reasons I can never make my artwork look good. Like after just 1 layer, the paper crumples up, and the paint leaks through!
