Watercolor by Marty Martin
This video was part of an online watercolour class I taught, where we covered a broad range of techniques by including them in a complete painting that can be used as a Christmas card or winter scene. I’ll show you my go-to colours to make the process easy and stress free
Some of the techniques covered are:
Wet into wet Watercolor | Mixing and bleeding | How to focus the viewer attention by using sharp areas of focus in contrast to soft area | How to effectively use tricks to create a realistic snow effect and many others tips.

    “Snow, snow beautiful!!!” ❄️😊 I love adding the splattering… It IS the fun part to adding just that right painterly bits to your painting…! I’ve also found, tapping in the middle of the brush handle makes the paint splatter pop out quicker and does quite well. 🖌️

    I don’t think I’ve tried both at the same time before 😂 I often find that folk who play an instrument seem to gravitate towards painting/art as well - I think it’s the creative side of our brain at work

    For the topping technique, what is the proportion of water did you use. For my part I'm so "splashy"!! Lovely tutorial, without music and realistic speed. Thank you for sharing. Isabelle from Québec.

    Hi Isabelle, if it’s the snow topping you’re referring to, I normally squeeze a little Gouache onto a plate and spray it with a little water until it’s wet enough but not too wet and not too dry then mop it up unto the brush and flick the brush off my other finger- try testing the consistency on a scrap piece of paper before committing it to your painting - hope that helps Marty

    Very nice. Thank you for the demo. I just wish your camera had been closer to the artwork because it's really hard to see on the small screen on my phone. 🐑🌲❄️

    Thanks for your comment - it’s a hard one to get right, I use a soft pencil lead so that the paint will water it down but it makes it harder for those viewing the videos to see - a lot of folk like to be able to see the paint being mixed on the palette, which means the camera lens needs to be a little further away than I’d like - we’ll experiment to see if we can come up with a better solution to suit everyone :)

    @@StormLampStudios I watch other artists who have to overcome the same problem. Some get in closer and other switch back and forth from one camera view to another. Some manage by using a split screen but others have just figured out a precise location for everything to try to accommodate All of it in one shot. But the bottom line is that as informative as it is to see the mixing of the colors, the big action occurs on the paper and if I can't see it well on my small screen I tend to move on to another channel where it's easier to watch. I'm sorry that this has nothing to do with your work personally in fact I enjoy your work.
