my biggest problem when working with watercolors is that i am too impatient. i should wait for it to dry but i just want to continue adding more colors, and then they bleed into each other. what do you do? do you just wait and let it air dry? or do you not use a lot of water so that it dries faster?

i use a heat gun to dry layers when i need to. Theyre like 20 bucks on amazon, you can also use a hair dryer but a heat gun is more concentrated and doesn't blow as much. Check out Danica Sills on youtube, she also uses a heatgun

Heat gun or hair dryer. Patience is a great skill that watercolors force you to learn though. So you can always try forcing yourself to wait.

like everyone already suggested I use a hairdryer! :D I just edited those clips out haha I'm super impatient as well XD

What I usually do is work on more than one painting, or doodle when I wait for the painting to dry. My cat is scared of the hair dryer, so it's not an option lol.

Super late, but one thing I could recommend is working on a separate part of the painting while another part dries. That's how I paint, and I'm super impatient as well.

This is the kind of video I have been looking for all day, where someone show and talk about the sketchingstage in simple words not focusing only on anatomical references only stating that it is important and talking insted of the process, truly educational and well executed, well done and thank you so much for sharing! 😊

This is very helpful. I’ve learnt a lot. Thank you, Chris! Would you do more simple watercolor portraits like this? Love the soft feeling of this painting.

Hi, Chris! I just found your channel recently and I'm loving it already! I think it's so great that you have a good balance between tutorials and tips on portrait studies as well as videos on your personal art and style. I learned a lot! You also have such professional videos already even though you started out only a few months ago, so thank you! I can't wait for more of your videos. I'm excited to see how you grow as a KZreadr and as an artist and I'll definitely be supporting you along the way! 😊

Thank you Chris, I enjoy watching your clear , instructive and inspirational videos. Please do more where you spend time on the basics, it’s so appreciated. Maybe you could do a couple where you use oil or gouache? Thanks for a wonderful channel 🌱

I really like your art style!!!! Now I'm really inspired to make a watercolor portrait!!!!! Love it!

Thanks for sharing your nice tutorial. It’s very helpful and i like the process.☺️💕👍🏻

This is exactly what I needed. I do a lot of still lifes, but I want to do a portrait of my friends for their engagement party and I was hitting a bit of a wall-thank you for your concise and detailed video!

This was super helpful I just bought some new gouaches and watercolors to play with. I’m nowhere close to being able to capture realistic likenesses but this video definitely inspires me to try to do so! Love your content 💕

Watching water color technique videos in public is a struggle for me, because I get the strong urge to pick up a brush, when I can't!

It would be helpful (to me) to know what pigments you are using. That's what I'm having trouble with right now.

How many times would you say you let a layer dry before applying a new one?

What size brushes do you use?

I love your process of painting, but how do you get such accurate colours for the shadows, skin, hair, etc?

A little late but for accuracy, I do swatches. Your selection improves over time too.

I wanna cry it’s so hard

You can also got from dark to light. There was an artist who worked this way and it looked phenomenal. Can't remember the artist's name though.

What pencil u use here?

the problem with me is i dont want it to be anything different from my reference which is definetely very bad so i am trying to work on that. thanks for the video!

I love you ❤️💕😘

How long does it take you to watercolor in that size?

How long does this take

PLEASE TELL ME WHICH TYPE OF PAGE YOU USE PLEASE BECAUSE MINE ALWAYS GET WET AND DAMAGED PLEASE TELL ME ❤❤🥺🥺

the problem for me is that the watercolour dries almost the moment i put it down, even when i use a lot of water. am i using the wrong kind of watercolours, or is it the paper, or is it me? it must be me, or is it?

hola amgios
