How I Color: Water, Snow and Ice

Hi there!!
In this video I am showing you a few different ways that I color water, snow and ice. I show some examples of pages I’ve done and then do a quick example of each type of water. I hope these little tips I’m sharing help ☺️
Thanks for stopping by!

    Your tutorial would have been more helpful if you used a watercolor pencil most people would have. How often does an inexperienced colorist, needing a tutorial, own Caran D’ache??

    @@synergyscrap I have tried the Arteza brand and they were decent. Some people had issues with there not being enough pigment, but it’s all about the layering with those. Unfortunately, with water mediums, you definitely get what you pay for. Cheaper brands will definitely take more work. And I appreciate all feedback ☺️ I want to make this a channel where everyone feels welcome, from beginner to more seasoned colorists.
