- Fixing Inking Disaster with... Gouache!
I hope this helps explain WHY I use gouache after I have finished the watercolor painting process and not before.

As a digital artist, this video made me realize how important the undo button and the eraser brush are for me. When I mess up a line, I have two easy solutions that can be done in seconds.
Don't forget layers! Omg layers are such a lifesaver sometimes o.o
I feel like a peasant boy whenever people are talking about digital art as a traditional artist
“What must it be like to have undo button sire”
“What do layers feel like sire”
@@BearclawepicAHAHAH HELP
@@Bearclawepici love this comment
@@Bearclawepic I think this might be my favorite comment ever LMFO
Love how you're willing to show why, instead of just explaining it. It always helps to have both the visual and auditorial information
Watched the premier.. love it! Makes me feel so much better knowing that even great artists like you mess up sometimes! Thanks for always being our online art teacher ❤😊
During the live of this video, I asked you if you knew what happened to Toriyama sensei. Akira Toriyama was the mangaka behind series such as dr. slump and dragonball, who died about a week ago from, what I understand, a "brain bleeding". I asked since he is one of the most influencial people in pop culture of all time, and inspired millions of people, including me. So well rest in peace Akira Toriyama!
Oh. That's so sad
@@ssavaartso, can you draw gokuu in memory of our master?
I am glad he showed the prosses to fixing mistakes with water colours! Because I am very new to the medium and I find this super helpful! (I love the example peice in the video as well its so pretty!)
I really appreciate the behind the scenes style mistake fixing videos. I could have used this advice about a week ago when i messed up with some inking in a similar manner and spent far too long adding some unplanned background elements to cover up the mistake 😅 love all of the videos you are making these days, keep it up! And happy arting!
I love the way you don't gatekeep your information/skills. It's very heartening to see someone actively help other artists & share what they've learned :^)
Super helpful! I'm a mostly traditional artist and oh my goodness, some of the solutions I've come up with for mistakes are wacky. Even better -- some enhance the pieces! Gotta play around :)
it's so nice to see the different interactions between inks, paints, paper, etc.
Videos like this are way more helpful than you can imagine! Thank you so much for sharing your solutions and also your troubles.
Thank you! I had some inking mistakes in my last watercolor and just decided I'd paint the dog it happened to in goauche when the rest of the work is in watercolor. Glad I was at least on the right track.😅
These is an art supply that works like paint, but dries and turns any surface into cold pressed paper. Sorry but I don’t remember what it is called, but hope this helps!
It's called watercolor ground. I know Daniel Smith, Qor and I think also Schmincke make them. Never tried it myself though. From what I understand you can paint it on different types of surfaces that usually wouldn't work for watercolor so you can paint on them. Could be a fun thing to try for a video.
Yes, watercolor ground. I’m surprised Scott hasn’t tried it yet. It’s definitely not a 100% match for watercolor paper, but is such a better coverup than the acrylic gouache.
I now want to experiment how to fix mistakes! Thank you! But ive learnt to take a nap when low on energy as well, so thank you and thank past me for that lesson as well! Imma go take a nap now
LETS GOOOO SCOTT UPLOAD THANK YOU FOR THE HELPFUL TIPS 🎉🎉
I hope that this longer video formats goes well TH-cam algorithm wise, because it's so nice to get more insight on topics like these
Amazing video. I don't even paint and I love your videos. My anxiety melts right away watching you work. Hope you know how much we appreciate you sharing your work with us.
This technique is soooo cool!❤ thanks for sharing! I've always had anxiety around inking, and having such techniques helps reduce it.
Also, thank you for trying to refocus your channel on long form content. I as an AuDHDer, I have a terrible time with getting caught in the shorts rabbit hole, even if I'm not enjoying it. Your recent shorts have been great gentle nudges towards your long form videos.
The color matching is actually perfect at the end! 👌
Such a great video. Very thorough and with great attitude. I find watercolor to be a bit intimating because of how it kinda just does it's own thing but you make me appreciate it's uniqueness even more.
Fantastic demonstration!
solidity is a word!
:D
now I'm gonna do this with my painting
This is brilliant, what a wonderful video, scott truely is a blessing ☺☺☺
Love this! I'm preparing a class about fixing watercolor mistakes, so i took to YT to find some I didn't know about & this is the best one I've discovered. Thanks a ton! I've been experimenting with gesso & watercolor ground to see if i can cover & also mimic the porosity & texture of the paper. It's tricky, but I think it might work out eventually.
As someone who also makes A LOT of mistakes in watercolor, I've tried almost all these methods: uniball, sandpaper, acrylic gouache, tearing up the page and starting over... The only one I hadn't tried was gouache after the rest of the painting is finished. LIGHT BULB MOMENT! THANKS SO MUCH SCOTT! This will help my sanity 😄😅
Watercolor grounds works like a charm!
So true, I need gouache, with watercolors lifting and scrubbing and adding water only work if you're using very good watercolor paper.
I've been playing with combining marker and watercolor this week, I found a marker that's waterproof but I've just been making thicker lines if I messed up, but there's thick and then there's thick 😂
I cant get over the way you draw hair, it is so beutiful
This is wonderful, thank you for sharing ❤
I like these long form videos! It's nice to hear you laugh instead of cold cut edited talking all the time
Thats great scott the thing about most tutorials is that they show you what to do but dont show WHY they do it and ive seen mang beginners (including me at the start) drawing guidelines and just ignoring them
Anyways the fact you explain why you do it is awesome of you scott!
Such a beautiful piece and a beautiful fix... I'm waiting for when I can
Rather, I'm trying to manage my time so I can get back to painting huge pieces instead of the occasional flower or tree in my tiny sketchbook while commuting... I miss this
This is brilliant, thank you!!❤
This video inspired me to go use some watercolor! I’m not very good with it, but it is a fun medium. My great Grandma has dementia, she’s in her 90s but back in the day she was very skilled with watercolor. When she visited Hawaii, she painted tons of fish. We aren’t sure how long she has left, so maybe I should try painting her something in watercolor and sending it to her? Thank you again Scott!
❤❤❤
You absolutely should.
This was very informational. Good job!!
Very helpful! I’m always worried that a final touch ruins all the work I did. This shows you can fix anything with gouache.
0:20 God, this hurts my soul DX
Loved the fix though and how you showed the other options, while not idea could work to some degree for different artists :))
Agh the Contempt in his voice, relatable
I would be interested in a painting using watercolor over gouache intentionally to get that half transparent half opaque swirl effect. It might make a really neat background. I would love to see if it could be used as its own sort of technique/style
I've seen someone recommend a stuff that you smudge over any surface/paper and it makes it receptive to watercolor. It looked like paper mache after drought. I don't think it's a proper response to tiny fixes like this, but I just remembered and was wondering if you knew it.
You're an amazing guy, I love your channel!!!
Oh. I'd love to know more
@@ssavaart I went to my viewing history so that I could find it XD
It's called cold press ground
This may sound super weird, but I guess I’ve hit a point in my art journey where I kind of…enjoy the “happy accidents.” I like the challenge of trying to work out…what can I do/use to make this match/closely match my vision. Sometimes it takes me months to come back to a project I deemed a lost cause simply because I didn’t know what to do with it, but as I learn new things I’m like “oh, hey! That page with markers that I completely botched…let me try XYZ now.”
This really helps inspire me to find other ways to cover up accidents like that in my art! I’ve either had to cover up the lines with a Signo or Gelly Roll pen, or try to hide them in the colors later. Thankfully it’s gotten easier since I started using colored Sharpie pens for my outlines, so hiding and correcting parts I don’t like can be done in the coloring stage and the inks blend in with the colors pretty easily
I came from your short to say Hi. And these long form videos are awesome.
My go to solution is to make the mistake part of the art. Like drawing cracks on the background to make it look intentional or mixing it into shading or drawing vines for no reason other then I now have half of one. I have given the characters I've drawn dear ears and arms that twist into a snake because I made a mistake with my art. Its always fun to do.
Nice explanation. I like it. Beautiful painting by the way.❤
Very instructive and inspiring video!
Scott, have you tried watercolor ground? You could paint it on or use a knife. Even thin it down a bit. Do it before the watercolor. I was surprised at how much it acted like regular paper. It really is like restoring the white with "liquid paper". I have used Schmincke and it is really absorbent but doesn't lift. I ripped my paper on a piece and this was the best way to restore that quality.
Amazing!! You are a true artist 🙂
I remember one of my carpentry master talking about being forced to draw all technical drawings with the rapidograph while he was an apprentice and using a razorblade to erase mistakes.
I’m giggling so hard. 😂 OF COURSE, when you’re trying to prove how difficult it can be to color match the solution, it works absolutely perfectly on the first try.
I know a friend who no matter what uses erasable pens, and as someone who messes up inking often I took on that for art
Solidity is definitely a word 😊
Just use White Watercolor ground... i like Daniel Smith's because it is really opaque. And you can layer it too if it isnt covering the mistake. Or even water it down a bit to match hot press paper's texture. Then when you start painting, it's barely noticeable and accepts watercolor or any other medium.
*walking masterpiece maker.❤
I've basically come to the same conclusion too but with alcohol markers instead and even then I got headaches! Some alcohol proof inks are not waterproof and visa versa. :')
That's a very ingenious fix. Have you discovered any other fixes that work as well or better? I had a very similar problem some months ago and even yesterday with some ink drawings. I'm thinking of using Higgins white for the correction from last night but I tried to use white correction inks in the other one and it just made it worse. It's 300 GSM Clairfontaine paper so any correctives need to be done in one pass essentially.
Fabulous fix!
I noticed you haven't been posting shorts for a while...and k just wanna ask why
And i also wanan give a huge thank you to you my art has improved si much because of you in like 2 months
Because TH-cam doesn't pay enough for shorts. So I've had to move to videos.
So glad my brother sent me this link!! Ant advice for getting a Signo pen to write again? Mine has ink, but will not write!
Sometimes they're just stubborn and I need to get a new one. But get a scratch piece of colored paper and try just scribbling on it to see if you can "loosen it up".
@@ssavaart Thanks, yes I tried that ... Unfortunately, I may need to get a new pen - I've been avoiding it because I fear this issue will repeat, but Signo has the best vivid white! (Really, if it's not working I can always return it - NBD!)
Wonderful lessons!
Try watercolor grounds!:)
Moral of the video. Don't make literally any mistakes when you make art and you never have to worry about this. Wait what's that? Thats not possible? Oh, 😮
You can try digital art, if you make a mistake you can fix it easily
I could've hear him saying "blow dryer"
Genuine question, have you ever tried using a water color ground for fixing mistakes? I've never used it but I think it's supposed to make a surface accept watercolor.
Great information
I guess the pencil colour and the guoache is the best option and results
Oh god not the orange ink
I wonder if adding a water colour ground overtop would work.
missed the live again
Haha! Take _that_ digital artists! Don't have gouache, do ya now?
*The eraser tool*
Just like an engineer would do it
Wait, can Large Marge erase crayon?
😎👍🏼cool. 😃👍🏼
Hello from British Columbia Canada ❤❤❤❤❤🎉
What about put watercolor ground?
Have you tried using a watercolour ground to repair the ink, so that it will absorb the watercolour?
I need to look into that
Do you ever mess up your work while trying to blow dry it. By the air of the blow dryer smaging the paint?

As a trans man the appreciation I have for Scott is indescribable. He isn’t only an amazing artist but an amazing person. The representation and kindness he spreads is so admirable.
You're too kind. Thank you! ♥

Thank you for SHOWING instead of just saying “don’t do this”! I love the side by side comparisons!

I think this was the BEST video I've ever watched, in my life! My gosh this helps TREMENDOUSLY! THANK YOU, Scott!! 🫶
Absolutely My Pleasure ♥
@@ssavaart so nice i had to watch it twice! 😁
Using guache after and not before felt like a mind blowing moment for me😂😂. Love your hands on teaching scott...
Thank you so much for this lesson! Excellent example and seeing it makes it stick in my head!
You're very welcome!
Hi Scott! I watched the live and loved it! You’re the best artist and such a huge inspiration! I have an art channel too and have for 2 years, with 714 subscribers as of now.. I usually make shorts and have also been wanting to switch to long form videos but have been scared to.. thank you so much for the inspiration 💕✨
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks for taking time out your day to entertain us, Scott❤❤❤
Great tutorial! Informative and helpful.
Thank you! I love this!
soo cool
You should should try the mono sand eraser it’s made for inks
That's a really cool process! I enjoy how you showed the other solutions before the one you settled on
I hate inking. I always do mistakes
I know it's paint, technique, skill, and practice, but my brain sees the line disappear and goes "MAGIC!"
