    I haven't seen this video until now. Feb 7, 2021. Most of the TH-cam video are uploaded by Artist's Network, and I don't like to watch my own video. Today I watched for the first time. So many people asked me about several questions, but I haven't answered them. Generally, first, I pour three colors. Most important thing is let it dry completely. And one more important thing is you want to select the subject matter darker tone than pour. I did not use any gauche nor acrylic. The whiskers, white hairs in ears and eyes were masked with a frisket, and soft outline was scrubbed with scrub brushes. After that layers of colors were applied to get the shape of the cat, and create the short hair with a each brush stoke. It can be done when you have a patient. After the pour, I also applied a very light blue on the around the cat, too. Hope this explain to satisfy you.

      I have watched this several times, it is so fun to watch. I really appreciate you sharing it and this information. I am going to do a barn owl with a night sky and try this as my background. I feel your technique here lets the watercolor do its magic. Thank you, wishing you well 🥰

    how she make such a colefur and detailed picture like the cat over that background?, i mean that is water color, ah my brain!

      Aronath Cordova Skills yo, straight up skills

    • @imhallucination219
      @imhallucination219 8 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      Aronath Cordova you can paint a picture (like the cat) over the background after you let the spray paint dry 🙂 (sorry my grammar is not that good ^^)

    • @susanwhite8489
      @susanwhite8489 7 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Aronath Cordova she did not. This is a totally different painting. You cannot paint over something already existing, unless you block out the foreground, can't be done.

    • @MiaVox
      @MiaVox 7 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      You can see with the Cat painting the background it is rather light in color. It is easy to paint a slightly darker subject over a light colored background. With a darker background like the example piece she created you would want to go in with a damp rag and lighten (rewet and remove color) the areas you want to put your main subject.

    • @MiaVox
      @MiaVox 7 ปีที่แล้ว +41

      +SUSAN WHITE I'm not trying to be argumentative here but you are so incredibly wrong. I paint over "already existing" backgrounds constantly without blocking them out. I see other artists do the same quite often. Painting over a background like her example piece can be tricky because its a bit darker but it creates depth and interest to a painting. Watercolor isn't strictly translucent nor fully opaque but it can give the illusion of being opaque with layering and less dilution to cover darker areas. Not to mention you could just use watercolor for a background then use a different medium to paint your main imagery on top.

    I think you could do galaxy stuff with that, i believe it would be more easy than conventional way of doing it.

      With gouache?

    • @berfinarslan99
      @berfinarslan99 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      +Debi L. you could also just layer watercolor but gouache would work too probably even better I think

    • @debil.5910

    • @ruthpayne9146
      @ruthpayne9146 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      It's possible that the "background" was just done around the cat when it was still drying, likely as Soon was getting her first or second layer done, which then either dried after the background was done or was not painted over again until it was mostly dry.

  • @fiery.mercaba
    @fiery.mercaba 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Undoubtedly intriguing & certain a technique to considerably shorten the time for producing a watercolour painting. My huge question regarding this technique, however, how is it possible to then paint your intended subject atop that & without picking up the foundational colours & inadvertently changing colours, shapes, etc?

    hi , i really love how this is going to look different every time you use for the background ! i have a question tho , whenever i paint a backgroud first i let it dry completely but still , when i start painting the actual piece if i use light colors ,the background seem to seek through it ! and if i use the wet on wet technique the colors start getting mixed up together !how do i fix that ? or i'm supposed to start with light colors first and then do the background ? please answer my questions and thank you so much for the videos ! keep it up guys ❤👍💪

    One more thing I want to mention is that you need secure the paper on a hard board that will not buckle. I attach in a ply wood. I used the Winsor & Newton cold pressed 140lb paper for the pour and the cat painting.

    Guys watercolors are transparent medium, because the pigments are so finely grinded with compare to other mediums...we are not allowed to paint any light coloured subject on a dark background if you want to paint use guache( I guess this is how it's spells) or anything other medium, but not watercolor.

  • @SharonCullenArt
    @SharonCullenArt 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I like this technique. But it would have been nice to see how she incorporates it, or even if she decides beforehand what her subject matter wil be, like in the cat portrait she did. It was beautiful. I would assume she had to spray the center a lot to lighten the value for the portrait, as well as make it fairly solid.

    • @bamitswild7835
      @bamitswild7835 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I’m curious of this too. The value is beautiful but would be removing the lightest value from the paper. How do you do this and have something to work with afterwards?

    • @parul209
      @parul209 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @greeyzone
    @greeyzone 8 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    How do you attach the paper to your board like that? I feel like i tried every sort of tape to fix the paper and prevent it from bending too much... i've never seen it without tape - how? :D

    • @artistsnetwork

      Soon uses marking tape rolled lengthwise underneath all four edges of the paper to secure it to the board. Enjoy!
