I have too much struggle on painting small details

I can’t stress watercolor quality enough. There’s such a difference between $1 and $10 paints. I often get the question of how mine are smooth... it’s simple. Quality!

@Makoccino

Yes! Some people get mad whenever I mention it's important to invest even just a little bit more into watercolors because it makes such a huge difference! You can create good art with cheap sets for sure, but for this to happen you already have to know how to use them properly. As a beginner you would just get frustrated and give up!

makoccino I feel the EXACT SAME! I’m not hating, but the harsh reality is you get what you pay for... but it upsets people every time I say it. I just hate the thought of someone thinking watercolor is difficult to work with and giving up because of a cheap set. :(

Kasey Golden quick question so I got 12 watercolor tubes for around $10ish is that good or bad should I go for a more expensive watercolors or no?

@frozenyogurth

5 жыл бұрын

YES! omg. I can't stress this enough. I'm usually the type of person that goes for cheaper stuff in the begining (to test out the medium) and the way good quality watercolours work is such a different one compared to bad quality ones, that once I got some better colours it was as if I started in a completely new medium!

I needed to take notes and I want to share them with you: 0:43 make sure you're using the right paper, mainly because normal paper doesn't work well with water colors 2:08 make sure to choose good quality colors, as cheap ones are gonna look less pigmented and make blending harder 3:54 be careful not to use too much or too little water. Personal suggestion: use the back of a painting you don't like to try and recreate the effect you're searching for 5:22 color bleeding 6:06 how to avoid weird staining and obtain a smooth gradient: apply a thin coat of water first, then apply paint in one go (premix it before if you find it easier) from top to bottom; in you want to intensify the color or add another one, wait for the first layer to fully dry or else you'll get staining. 7:49 muddy colors are explained in another video in which she explains how to mix colors properly, that video is gold

What you draw is what you feel inside, learning art is making your expressions in form of drawings. Improving art means expressing your feelings in form of art and you choose yourself how you wanna express it better. There are no mistakes, there is just room for improvement in expressing your feelings.

I try to think of every blank canvas or piece of paper as a place to play and experiment, not the place a potential masterpiece needs to go. The experiment didn't go as you might have hoped? That's okay, you were just trying something out and learning from it for the next experiment. Making a mess and disliking certain results is just part of the creative learning process for everyone.

Hello:) thanks for great tips! I would have one more question, I am a total beginner and I strugle with the actual mixing technique of colors. When I mix a color in water, it is always pretty transparent on paper..I tried to use less water, but then it's pretty difficult to get a good dip of paint. (I use schminke paints in pans) so a video where you show the actuall process od mixing would be great, in all videos artists take either the color directly from the pan or have their colors already mixed..thank you :)

Can you review camel/camlin/faber castell water colours? I would really appreciate it. I have been wanting to try water colour but doubt the quality of the water colours.

Makocinno, I recently thought of a weird hack or 'hack'. I cut out sponges of different sizes and used it for water color. The surface will be smooth and if you brush the sponge properly and nicely, the colour will be very beautiful. Also, to combine colours, I use one third of the sponge for each different colour and it works (for me). If i want to create gradations, i watercolour the sponge at the top and bottom and I leave a small gap in the middle and theres a slight blend in the middle which is kinda nice. I thought that the sponge will be a good material as it absorbs water or something.....and it looks suitable for water colour. Do tell me if this is a bad idea so that I know this is not good for some reasons, and let me know if this method is acceptable. ..♥♥♥♥ thank you for all your videos and hacks/tips. They are as amazing and stunning as you. I will support you and watch your videos forever. Sorry for uttering nonsense but I really appreciate if you reply me. Thank you.♥♥♥ #makoficationsquad
