    Thank you so much for doing this series of demonstrations. I just started drawing and painting with watercolor last July with no previous experience. I am having so much fun (most of the time) and have learned so much from you. I have been working on the poinsettia line and wash and every time I watch one of these videos my painting has improved. I find that I learn faster and better if I "practice techniques" on an actual painting instead of playing around without a subject. This is working so well that I feel like I progressed a full year in just the past week. You are great and I am very lucky! Merry Christmas to you. In so many ways, the birth of Christ is making it possible for me to approach this new learning with joy and confidence. Pretty amazing for my 80th year of life.

    This is something you really have to play around with and experiment. The biggest thing I struggle to get my head around is trying to remember how the different pigments react with one another (I have the memory of a gnat) so I keep a swatch book of my experiments and jot "notes to self" by them. It amazes me how you can get pairs of colour that behave so differently from others, like one colour infusing into and dominating the other, just blending to make another colour or the real weird, when one colour appears to push back the other colour.
    Dropping burnt sienna into ultramarine always amazes me, you get this halo where the blue just appears to vanish due to the transparent neutral it creates, you gotta love it.

    @JamesPliny 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Interesting comment by Bitemefox. I know people say WC is a difficult medium, but I tell them that if you learn just a few easy- to- learn techniques it can be mastered. Even 5th grade children I have taught learn how to use watercolors in an hour or two. As always, what I like about Steve's presentation is that he never assumes we know what he knows when he does various techniques and procedures to get where he is going with a piece.

    Fascinating. I don't recall how I found your channel but I'm very glad I did. I started in paper crafting then stumbled upon mixed media which drew me into water colour. The use of water mists & droplets in crafts tends to be more extreme than I like. The effects you showed here with sprays especially are far more subtle. Less expensive papers like Canson XL & smooth papers are more prevalent in the craft world since cards are ephemeral & it's far easier to stamp. But yes, I love Arches, it does amazing things. Very much a newbie but it is fun to play!

    This was a great video! I didn't know that some colors actually move differently (slower/faster) because of their pigment. I do have some colors that irritate me for not wanting to really bloom out. That would be a good video too, discussing how some pigments may be slower or faster to move. The look and dimension you get with washes are always so fun because you never know how it will turn out and no two are ever the same. Thanks for sharing the info! Very much appreciated! :)

    • @mindofwatercolor
      @mindofwatercolor  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, its too inexact a thing. Brands, pigment loads, binders can all affect it. In my opinion the differences don't matter enough to the results of my painting and I suppose thats true for most watercolorists or you would even see some extensive homemade tests.

      A bloom is adding too much water after a wash has started to dry. Squeeze out your brush to make it drier and pick up any excess water. Don’t let water pool on top of a partially dry wash.

    Great primer on wet on wet and watching watercolor’s mind come alive. I just love the spontaneity and creativity of how pigment swims around in water. You can predict what it might do based on what you know but it still has this wonderful way of surprising you. If you let it or in my case if it’s your only choice. I haven’t mastered the taming part yet.😏 You’ve inspired me yet again. It’s a rainy Saturday morning. Im finally back home. I’m going to watch your last video again and dust off my paints and paper and spend the afternoon watching paint move. Should be fun. Were you using paint straight out of the tube for your demo?

      The Mind of Watercolor I guess my question is do you let the paint on your pallet dry or is it still sticky? Sorry for so many questions. The consistency of the paint seems to make a difference. Or better put, the amount of pigment in the water seems to make a difference.

      Yes, back run, bloom, cauliflower, all names for the same thing.

    how do you get the different values? with wet into wet?

    • @mindofwatercolor

      By changing the amount of paint in the wash.

      I've actually done two videos on glazes and demonstrated it in many others. Just search glazes on my main channel page. 😀

    Thanks for your Watercolor Painting Basics, I am learning a lot from it. I was wandering how to handle properly the dirty water from brush washing. Since watercolor can contain potentially toxic pigments and heavy metals such as cadmium, chromium, lead and so on. Is there a way to dispose the water properly to avoid or mitigate environment pollution? Thanks again!

      I personally don’t use cadmiums and almost no chromium but in paint water, the state is so diluted it’s basically trace amounts and fairly harmless.

    Hey I was just wondering where you got Reese the skull from? Thankyou :)

    • @mindofwatercolor

      I bought him at a craft store a long time ago. Probably 30 years ago. He's a plastic model, but he thinks he's a real skull. 😉

    is glassing the same as another wash?

    • @mindofwatercolor

      Glazing? Yes. Letting the first layer dry.
