Enjoyed the video. Love the painting. Thanks for walking me through it! I love your process and all your mark making tips. You are such a wonderful teacher. 😊❤
I love this technique. I started painting intuitively with watercolour around March last year and found that because I was so new to it all, I was naturally making blooms. I also figured that I could colour correct with watercolour over certain areas, which meant it looked a little more balanced to me, and unintentionally, i discovered that I had some depth to the image it produced. Very similar to the two layers you have produced in this, with the taped borders. I haven't been able to free up as much, though, i used to draw with pencils a lot when i was younger and once the first 2 layers were complete I left the image on the side for a few weeks until I saw something that it represented and reverted back to line work over the top to create the image. Unfortunately, my abstract painting is purely in the watercolour layer. I gave the painting to my dad as he loved it, it reminded him of the sea cave I had discovered within the piece, but he could see allsorts of other images I hadn't even intended. This video makes me want to pull out my watercolour blocks that I taped the edges on last year and start experimenting once again. I got a little bit blocked over what has been a very stressful winter period and so I've watched more than I have painted. At least that way I'm still learning. I've just got to put what I've learnt into practice. Thank you for being so inspirational, Allison.
I love this and watching you paint and talk you are so calming. I was eyeing in on the turquoise wondering if you were going to use it and yes you did. I have learned a lot from you to not be in my head so much and just paint because I love to paint for no other reason ❤️
Love this whole video! Thanks for loving on my artwork ❤. I love working in layers but waiting for layers to dry can be a bit annoying LOL! But working on multiple pieces at a time can totally solve that problem. I sometimes use a hairdryer but it just depends because you are right it can kinda mess with the paints if they are too wet. Thanks again and I’m glad we connected!
so much positivity flowing in since I showed your art. it’s gorgeous. Thankyou again for connecting and sharing it with me. it’s back on my living room wall! Xx
Thank you so much 😀 Yes, I do use both hands when painting and when I get more relaxed in my work, it comes out more... You have a good eye to have noticed that.
Did your Father make that wooden tray? Inevitable question … would he make and sell them? Kuretake paints constantly call out for the perfect empty palette, that pretty much fills the bill! 😊
@@allisondawrant I have been wanting to bring this to your attention. There is a handmade watercolor paint from a company called Artistic Isle. The paint is beautiful but the first time I used it I was very disappointed because it had so much glitter in it. And as a matter of fact the whole pallette was glitter! You may already know about these paints but if you don't look them up and give them a trial. After I used them for a while, I really was thrilled with their performance they are very pretty. I believe the maker had her start in Hawaii! She has some very novel offerings
God Bless you living in Canada! Trudeau has gone complete ‘1984’ tyrant mode. I fear that it will not be long before a similar fate awaits us in America. Government assisted suicide (MAID)…I can’t believe I am living through times like these. Videos like yours are an oasis right now.

I’m so happy to hear this. I’m more out of my head when I do videos too.!
I have never layered watercolor before! Thank you - it turned out beautifully ❤
Thankyou

I love that you use both hands (either hand) when painting.

Wonderful video Allison. Thank you!
You are so welcome! thanks for watching and commenting , Angela!
Where do you purchase the wooden containers that hold your paint pans from other palettes? Loving your style and videos.
Some of the brands offer those wood/bamboo palettes. Some of mine are made by my father - like the wood trays that hold my Kuretake paints.
Did your Father make that wooden tray? Inevitable question … would he make and sell them? Kuretake paints constantly call out for the perfect empty palette, that pretty much fills the bill! 😊
Yes- he made me a few - as I found the boxes from Kuretake got worn and torn… he doesn’t sell them but will appreciate your interest💕

You can save your tape on the shiny side of freezer wrap paper so it's not just hanging on the side of your table
Great recommendation
Allison, love your selections of colors in this video!!
Where did you get the wooden tray to hold your Kuretake watercolors?
Yes, he did make those wooden trays.
Chartreuse. I think that's the color name. It's a yellow green color.
Thankyou Maggie❤️
