    The reason he managed to do really well even though he hasn’t done much watercolour, is because he already knows the ins and outs of art in general, like contrast and colour, yadayada. And also going over the basics of watercolour, now knows somewhat how to achieve the effects he wants.
    This is why your art teachers are constantly yelling about learning the basics, so you can use those skills in any piece you want.

      Norajousama + ! This happened to me once in class while trying pastels for the first time, and everyone was annoyed that I could pick the pace with those so quickly. I guess when you are used to do art and try other medium, you already have the basic knowledge and just need to get used to the new tools. Like wearing new soccer shoes when you already know how to play the sport!

      Same. I drew a piece I was really proud of in tonal pencil but that was only because I was used to shading and the gradients. I prefer to draw in black and white to see the gradients easier but I’m working on a piece in pastel chalks and everyone is surprised how I can work it so well, I just have a basic understanding of my proportions, blending, and gradients and I know when it’s appropriate to use other items to blend (I’m using a paper towel to blend as it works into the texture neatly)

    if you expect me to believe this is your first time with watercolors you’re wrong, this is awesome... the only tip i can give you is to be more “ patient “ and to wait for the first layer to dry before applying the second layer or the details
    but honestly i think this is stunning, i would love to see more watercolor paintings!

    To all else in the comments: he is an artist. He knows how to use contrast, shape and color already. And practicing with the color schemes and individual colors before a piece is a really great thing to do to get your feet on the ground with a new medium. (Also using skillshare to see professionals giving tips they may not have learned until they had years of experience, that's a really great option as well, and it doesnt have to be skillshare, it can be something on TH-cam. I've seen a lot of great tutorials with mediums on here and I know you all have access to it) ps fairy jazza is beautiful

      ive been thinking the same thing all he has learned is how to use watercolors and just used his skills of normal art. witch is way higher than most people in the comments. making his better because his original paper sketches and markers are also. really well done. i mean you already kinda practiced for 8 years after you've done normal paper and pencil for 8 years

    He’s a professional artist. He knows his fundamentals (color theory, anatomy, etc..) so he’s able to apply them to any artwork using any material he wants. Don’t feel bad if your art isn’t on par and just practice everyday. You’ll get there too.

      Well, I clicked on the channel, hoping to find some good art, but no. Just some random playlists. But I’m sure if you keep at it, you’ll find something you’re good at. Talent doesn’t come naturally. Everyone has something they’re good at. Like me, Jazza is the only reason why I kept on drawing. Now, I’m a digital artist, and I’m proud of my work. Sure, there will always be that bunch of drawings that just didn’t work out, but, you’ll never know what you like unless you try.

    The hard colors in the pans are the same product as the tubes (they're called cakes or caked watercolor). It's just placed in the wells and dried. And the cheaper tray watercolor may have an incredibly smooth appearance, but overtime the color will fade and fall away because of how fine they are. You can make your own watercolor cakes by putting the tube watercolor on a pallet and letting them dry. This turned out wonderfully and I love your willingness to try new things :) much love!!

    I suggest giving watercolor pencils a try, they're a neat midground between the kind of drawing you're used to and a painty style. You get all of the control of a pencil, but with that smooth, flowy blending you'd expect from waters.

Plus he had tips from professional watercolor artist. So it’s kinda irritating when people get dishearted about their own art because of how well he did with a new medium.

      I am in no way disrespecting his "First time go" reboot to watercolor. That being said, Jazza is pretty well known for his character design. If you want to be blown away by some awesome character design watercolor pieces, do a Google image search for "Alex Ross, watercolor"

    In case you‘re reading this, Jazza: there are 4 types of watercolor: cakes (the cheapest set you got), pans (those waxy colors), watercolor in tubes and liquid watercolors (for example Dr Ph Martin‘s hydrus) and the only difference is that cakes tend to be more chalky, but the rest is just a matter of preference :)

    With the tube paints you squeeze them in and let them dry. After they dry you can add water and use them like those chalk base cheap water pallet and getting way better saturation

      Technically you can use them straight out of the tube but you still need to dilute them with water and most watercolorists let them dry before they use them

    For te third type of watercolor you're supposed to use the little panels of the box, you put a big drop of water on the metal, then put a little bit of color in that "drop" (you can mix different colors) and then when this small volume of water is colored you use it to paint on the paper (you also need a glass of water to clean the brush between different colors)

    @ellis20022 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    heres just some general tips (i'm not a professional but I've been practicing with watercolors for a while now) for anyone, not just jazza
    - dont work on one small area at a time, jump around, because you'll end up having colors leak into other areas you dont want if you dont wait to dry
    - dont use scotch tape, it will tear your paper. use masking tape or painters tape, and i'd suggest sticking it to your shirt a couple times before taping down the paper just to get rid of any extra stick.
    - white watercolor can also be used to make others more opaque
    - id suggest mixing colors on the side by picking colors up from the pots/pans and laying them down on the lids both the pans sets came with, watercolors allow you to have a diverse color range
    - the paints in the white tin are called half-pans
    - use 300 gsm paper or more, it will usually say somewhere on the front of the pad what gsm it is. printer paper will not work because it is very thin and can't hold water. even then, you can't give many layers with 300 gsm. Arche's is a very expensive brand but worth the investment, because it has a high cotton count and can take a lot of water.
    - if you plan to do big pieces, stretch your paper. you do this by taping down the paper and coating it in water. theres videos on this.
    - if you can, find a moveable surface like a wood board or something to tape yoru piece onto so you can turn it if you need to.
    - be careful with pans and such because they may crack, if it happens you can just meld it with water.
    - you can use tubes to fill empty half pans but you may need to mix it with a solution since they aren't normally created for that.
    - always work from light to dark and dont try to do several layers quickly, some watercolors will take longer to dry depending on how much water you use and on the paint itself.
    - if you use liner pens, test beforehand on scrap paper to see if they will bleed. you really should do this with any supply, but it's sad when you learn in the middle of a doodle you're going to have a muddy mess. also let the pens dry for a while. if they arent waterproof you could always paint first and let it dry, and line over it. and i'd suggest colored liners, black is very harsh unless it's the look you're going for.
    that's all i've learn so far, good luck to anyone else who tries watercolors!

    Actually, Jazza, watercolour can be quite challenging, it's not the easiest medium, and for a 'newbie' you did better than I do after years of trying!! The cheaper pan-paints are ideal for beginners, but they're not archival, so people say they can fade in the light. Personally, I like the bloom 'cloud' effect, but, yeah, It has to be intentional. For the most dramatically different effects check out British artist Jean Haines. Her work might appeal to you 🙂 Oh! And, don't worry about rules!! Best way is always to learn for yourself without too much external influence

    Watercolor over tight pencil work has to be my favorite media to play with, and it was so wonderful to see you embrace one of my favorite media and really try to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the tubes vs pans, and the different types of pan. I tend to work from the waxier pans more often than not, but have also played with tube watercolors in much the same way that I play with acrylics, and found them very enjoyable to work in such a way. I am generally less fond of the harder pans, preferring the rougher layering of texture that the waxier pans provide to the smooth blending of the hard pans.

  • @jessthompson237
    @jessthompson237 6 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    I'm a watercolour artist, the dry kiddish watercolours are called watercolour cakes or tablets. The waxy ones are called watercolour pans. Though, for some, cake tablet and pan are synonymous and refer broadly to the wet-to-activate style of them. The reason tablet watercolour applies smoothly like that is because it actually sits on top of the paper rather than soaking in. This means that its not lightfast, that it is prone to being scratched off or marked and that it has something of an undesirable powdery texture. Of course, none of those things really matter to someone who is just beginning to experiment in the medium!

    • @jessthompson237
      @jessthompson237 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I personally use pans in windsor and newton professional pan watercolours. I tend to find that with cheaper watercolours, when theyre diluted, they appear muddy and dull. Desaturated rather than brightened. Using these I can use pastel colours (I work mostly in blues and pinks) that are still vibrant and captivating.

    • @jessthompson237
      @jessthompson237 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not quite sure how to phrase it! I think, for career artists, it is best to get the professional line because the colours are pretty much guaranteed to stay how you painted them forever, unless you spill bleach on the paper. With the cheaper ones, as I said with the watercolour tablets, they can be scratched or marked. They can fade over time. I believe the cotman line is decently lightfast, so long as theyre not in an area that receives a lot of harsh sunlight. Theyre also decently transparent and pigmented (transparent meaning they don't influence darker paints if applied on top, pigmented meaning you can still get nice vibrant colours with high amounts of water. For example, mixing a hot pink with water results in a bright hot pink rather than a dusky rose as would happen with these tablet watercolours).
      So. I guess what I'm trying to say is theyre very good, theyre a good investment for a majority of artists. Unless you're a career artist and you want to be damn sure that a painting you sell is going to look exactly the same a hundred years from now.
      I did an experimental painting a while ago where I tried to mix neon colours and succeeded. I feel like that is something you wouldnt be able to do with the cotman line.

  • @karahnovak8122
    @karahnovak8122 6 ปีที่แล้ว +142

    Ok Jazza, you mentioned not knowing what type of paints the pébéo watercolor aquarelle fine paints were. Most watercolor artists, use either paints similar to those, or the tube paints or a combination of both (most not all). The aquarelle would just be considered normal pan watercolors, nothing that special. The cheaper pans you had are essentially the same type of thing but are lower in quality, with more binder-to-pigment, which is why they are comparatively chalky and less “waxy” as you described the other pan paints. There is a lot of variation in watercolors. Every artist has different preferences in what paint they like best, and what works for them. All of these paints seem pretty solid for someone just starting out.

    This is the tray of watercolours I've been using. I quite like them. I haven't opened my tubes yet.

    A tip for watercolour usage is to use it for background while you use copics for your characters/main theme to make it stand out :)

    The "brick" watercolours are called pans
    The "liquid" ones are generally called tubes (actual liquid watercolour is a bit more like ink)
    The circle shaped watercolours are usually called cakes.

    How did I ever not see this video before.
    This is great help because I've been trying to find a video that used more than 1 type of watercolor on the same piece of work being made.
    And I've been learning how different materials used, mainly which types of papers, work best for each type of watercolor paints.
    I've also learned how much I've forgotten over the years, so I'm both nervous and intrigued to relearn and learn new tips to watercolor.

    I wasn't sure if it would turn out that good after some layers, but with every new layer and all the details it got so stunning in the end! Really amazing for your first watercolour piece!

      yeah me too x'D
      watercolour is just one of those trickster mediums where it starts out bad but eventually it'll end up good lol

    For the "waxy" ones you should spray them with a bit of water at first, it will "melt" the wax and making it easier to work with and the colours more vibrant

    • @Flumpfy

      I'm super new at this but I've also found it easier to take some from the pan and put it onto the palette before applying it to the paper, rather than going straight from pan to paper.

    This, in my opinion, is one of the best things I've ever seen you make. My jaw hit the floor; I am amazed. This is so beautiful and every time I watch you I get inspired to try my hand at art. I really hope to reach a skill level similar to yours, but with my own artistic flair. All in all, great job, man. Though I expect nothing short of extraordinary from you. xD

    Being able to draw & understanding values & perception really is the base of all art works like this. Once you are able to get the idea down on paper... it’s all just rolling with the punches from there. Really cool. I can’t draw all that well tbh, I have trouble with depth or scale or something, but if I take a really long time, lots of patience & a lot of erasing lol I can get something half okay down. However, it’s nothing like this. I haven’t tried to experiment with painting any of it tho, but I might after seeing these fun little vids he’s done. This seems like a super fun thing to try.

  • @lmarteen2778

    Beautiful work! But the thing with some cheap watercolors they are not color fast. Meaning in time and according to temperature the colors start to fade.. Its best to make a good investment in quality watercolors. After all the work U put into a piece, u would hate to see it fading in a few months or so.

      marisol 123 On the other hand, if You just wanna Try what it feels like, to see if You like the medium, You Can buy a cheap set, where it still works ok. If You did the same with, Let’s say, pencils You’d Wind up with something very different.

      So different watercolors are best for pieces you want to keep for a long time, but the watercolors you use at school are good for basic practice
