I sometimes use a white colour pencil as a wax resist for small details, like the white reflection in an eye. The paint goes over it but can be lifted easily.
I love that your channel is cat approved. That's adorable
You are a wonderful teacher! Thank you for sharing so many great ideas with us 🌸

I am so happy I found your video's. As a beginner water color painter I really appreciate them. Looking forward to more, thank you!
I like the techniques you shared, esp the netting w the masking fluid. It could be used to make an old fence, like around a vacant lot or an old home…to show the effect of a chain-link fence that is rusty or falling apart.
Again, Michele, another outstanding video. TYSM for making it for us watercolorists around the world 🌎

Thank you, Michele! I love that you discuss specific ways in which an artist can incorporate the different techniques into his/her paintings. Many times a technique is demonstrated, and it is great, but then you’re left with the “now what?” question. Thank you for sharing your expertise and experience!

I can see myself using the color pencil scraping technique. I used the cling film technique when I painted my walls in a bedroom. Simply lovely. I also could see using the masking tape technique useful for keeping the lighter colored paint from getting too dark.
Thanks for all the good tips
Thank you! Such great ideas!
I like the idea of using a knife for details.
Very good tips on your video,thanks Michele
I enjoyed your video. The only one's I have used is the salt one but I used table salt. I loved it.
Love all these techniques, Michele! I often use a light wash of yellow ochre tinted with some sort of brown and then put the plastic wrap on it. When it's dry, I then use a dark brown with a toothbrush and do a really fine splatter over it. The paint cannot be too wet for this or I'll get blobs, but the fine splatter looks really cool! The whole piece then looks like old paper that's been around for ages.

Fantastic!
I use the salt technique a lot for snowy backgrounds on Christmas cards! (I just use cheap table salt because that's what I already have in the cupboard, sometimes it leaves little slivers of salt still on the paper, but for snow that can actually look like sparkling snow flakes :D ) One thing I've found with using tape, if you keep tearing your paper try breathing on the tape (not blowing like you would try to cool food, breathing like you're trying to fog up glass), it warms the tape glue and combined with pulling sideways-not-up it rarely tears :)

A gum arabic peacock would be amazing I think
I have been trying these techniques and I find I’m learning water control in the process. I bought a watercolor sketchbook and am disciplining myself to spend at least 10 minutes or more a day playing with these. I’m looking forward to creating a piece that I can actually hang on the wall! Thank you very much for teaching on KZread!❤

Loved this Michele! Using Gum Arabic was new to me so I think it is something I will give a go! In addition to the techniques you have shown, I have in the past used dried rice (in place of salt), bubble wrap and aluminium foil which all give great effects! 😊
This is a great video. Thank you!
very interesting techniques.
