[@NINAAAHxD]

I'm very impatient so my mistake is always painting when everything is still wet

[@noyoudidnot3513]

Nina S a m e. I go over it too many times, I got used to acrylic, ahahahaha

[@Goldfog]

That's why I always do two or three paintings at once when I'm using watercolors! While I'm waiting for one picture to dry, I can keep working on the other.

[@oceane.booktok]

Same ! And too much water

[@lillys7438]

[@loumcc1140]

Nina you could always use a hair dryer to dry off your painting before painting another layer

[@Moonunderrain]

I have so much trouble with bleeding and using too much water. ;_;

[@ashfallvillaraiz8167]

I'm a noobies but I still haven't encounter bleeding because MY PAINT DOESN'T MIX WITH THE WATER. :((

[@cinnagummi]

I've seen beginners draw flowers and painting them with watercolor and something that they always do is painting the petals in order and for obvious reasons it will bleed because the petals are together and they won't let it dry, what I do is that I paint a petal, skip one, paint the next, wait for it to dry, continue.

[@MrOtterArtStudio]

great advice

I like how you’re straight forward with your tips. You get straight to the point, you speak understandably, but not slowly. That makes me understand the tip better, doesn’t make me bored, or feel as if the video is really long.

This rectifies all my problems....

[@sazzadtania1017]

Thanks for the solution

[@lolsmileyfacegirlxxx]

I would like to give a tip to those who are beginning :). Always have 2 cups or jars of water, 1 cup as the dirty water and the 2nd the clean water. You should always do this because then it will become a bad habit of using the same dirty cup and having some of the old color on your new color that you don't want :)

[@prinsesa3359]

Omg!!!!! I LOVE OTTERS!!!!!

[@Moody__Mango]

Awww the otter in the intro and his cut little shiny raisin eyes 😍❤😘

[@priyashreedubey5844]

Thank you for this short useful video

[@meghnalakshmisekhar2069]

Really good points
Sometimes I add too much water
Also when i draw branches with brush,
my brush’s always very dry.
But when I take my time and do it slowly and carefully it gets even more better.

[@laurentok789]

If your paint brush drips colour, if the mistake is irreparable, sometimes I just flick the tip of my paintbrush so the spots look intentional rather than accidental. Only works for certain art pieces and would seem strange on others, though.

My art teacher taught us a trick to not get the water color in spots you don’t want. She said to put crayon on the outline or something then paint. The wax doesn’t mix with the paint, so it’s a pretty cool trick!

[@Rettequetette]

I'm definitely gonna try that out 🙂 Thank you!
