this is an incredible lesson - the painting when it's done almost looks like a magic trick where the human observer fills in the blanks.

Great tuition and a beautiful piece of work!

This is very helpful. A lot of people show what they do and explain what they do, but not why they do it.

Maravillosa acuarela.

You have a wonderful way of explaining the process in simple, easy to follow terms. Of course, it requires lots of practice to implement these skills consistently. I look forward to more videos and information about any online workshops or courses.

Thank you Mark! I have Patreon at the moment if you're interested. I share a lot of good stuff there, not just show and tell. I usually receive "you are the only one who explains why" feedback on my teaching style. It's only $15. Also, I would recommend, going through all the demos without preference of subject and even if you don't want to paint just listen. Honestly my biggest progress was due to lots of listening before painting. Practicing without knowing exactly what and why close to useless. Best wishes!

Excelent!

Hi Nina thank you for another of your helpful instructions. Just one question: do you stretch your paper and if so, how do you do it? Kind regards, Al

@nvfineartstudio7296

Жыл бұрын

Thanks Alaudin! No, not in a traditional way. I spray the back of the paper if it's from a roll and tape it with masking tape to the board. If it's from a flat pack (full sheet or half) I just tape it straight to the board. I don't paint too wet, and even if the paper buckles during the first wash it doesn't bother me. I don't like the traditional stretching, you tend to get too precious and lose spontaneity after all the pre-work you've done to the paper 🤷😉

Awesome explaining.. BTW what paper and brushes are you using?

Thank you! I usually use Arches, Saunders Waterford, Baohong 300 GSM rough (in this video it's Arches). In regards to my brushes, I have a tutorial. Please follow the link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZXeDp81tp5jFp5M.html

Hi Nina, thank you for this. Do you have another video explaining the tonal numbers you mentioned please.

@nvfineartstudio7296

6 ай бұрын

Thank you! Yes, I do. It has green 200 number as thumbnail. One of the oldest. But, I have the numbers there 1 black to 10 white, this is what you see on grey scale tools. But, as we paint in watercolor from light to dark, I find it confusing, so count them backwards (not just me, haha). So now I use 1 for white and go down to 10 as black. I feel like I need to update this "200" video to be consistent.

@@nvfineartstudio7296 Thank you Nina, I understand your system now. Like you in my mind White paper is 1 and black is 10 for the reason you state re tones. That’s how I number my grey and colour tone scales. When it comes to chroma/intensity I number the other way round 10 to 1 or 0 Oh btw, I joined your Patreon Creative tier after I wrote my comment.

@@nvfineartstudio7296 thanks for the response. I really appeciate that. Maybe is irrilevant for you, but you and a few of watercolor artist (like Joseph Zbukvic and Chien Chung-Wei)are my best mentors for tecnique and stuff to use. Last time i painted I had to struggle a little to make thin long defined lines with an escoda prado nr 8. So today i ordered some new brushes ( upgradings) and i took your stuff as exemple. Mainly i switched my escoda ultimo mops to GOLD Aquario but i didnt find out what measure of rigger to use. Now i know it was a Neef brush. Thanks again.

Thank you so much for your video, it is very helpful! May I ask which colors did you use? How did you make them darker? And do you use your paper on the table, or do you have an angle? Thanks.
