Something I recently discovered in a book that I haven't seen anybody else do is to use bar soap. You mix the colour you need then swirl it around on a bar of soap. It acts in the same way gum arabic does- it makes the paint thicker, more water soluble- but if you use a firm brush or a bristle brush, you can get some really cool bubbly effects too!
I sometimes use a white colour pencil as a wax resist for small details, like the white reflection in an eye. The paint goes over it but can be lifted easily.
Thank you, Michele! I love that you discuss specific ways in which an artist can incorporate the different techniques into his/her paintings. Many times a technique is demonstrated, and it is great, but then you’re left with the “now what?” question. Thank you for sharing your expertise and experience!
Enjoying your informative video on "10 Stunning Watercolor Techniques to Transform your Art" I've learned some new things I didn't know before. Thank you for putting this video together for us to learn some interesting techniques.
Great fun techniques, I have just created an interesting page in my scrapbook trying them all. Think I will use the pencil shaving one lots, it’s brilliant, thank you
I can see myself using the color pencil scraping technique. I used the cling film technique when I painted my walls in a bedroom. Simply lovely. I also could see using the masking tape technique useful for keeping the lighter colored paint from getting too dark.
Love all these techniques, Michele! I often use a light wash of yellow ochre tinted with some sort of brown and then put the plastic wrap on it. When it's dry, I then use a dark brown with a toothbrush and do a really fine splatter over it. The paint cannot be too wet for this or I'll get blobs, but the fine splatter looks really cool! The whole piece then looks like old paper that's been around for ages.
I strayed Michelle... Ive been all over other mediums... but so glad I came back. I love love love watercolour and you are a terrific teacher. You bring my work up from pretty pictures to beautiful paintings. Still very much a beginner but you know what I mean. Happy 2023.
Wow!!! That was so much fun! I love your videos and I’m not a painter, but every time I watch one of your videos I think, ‘I’d love to try that’. Thanks so much for sharing this. ‘
I like the techniques you shared, esp the netting w the masking fluid. It could be used to make an old fence, like around a vacant lot or an old home…to show the effect of a chain-link fence that is rusty or falling apart.
I have been trying these techniques and I find I’m learning water control in the process. I bought a watercolor sketchbook and am disciplining myself to spend at least 10 minutes or more a day playing with these. I’m looking forward to creating a piece that I can actually hang on the wall! Thank you very much for teaching on RUclips!❤
I use the salt technique a lot for snowy backgrounds on Christmas cards! (I just use cheap table salt because that's what I already have in the cupboard, sometimes it leaves little slivers of salt still on the paper, but for snow that can actually look like sparkling snow flakes :D ) One thing I've found with using tape, if you keep tearing your paper try breathing on the tape (not blowing like you would try to cool food, breathing like you're trying to fog up glass), it warms the tape glue and combined with pulling sideways-not-up it rarely tears :)
This was a great video, I can’t wait to try the techniques myself. The gum Arabic one is really intriguing. I would love to see more videos like this one.
Absolutely brilliant! I've been using watercolor for many years, but a few of these are new to me. Can't wait to try the cling wrap technique. Many thanks! ❤
Loved this Michele! Using Gum Arabic was new to me so I think it is something I will give a go! In addition to the techniques you have shown, I have in the past used dried rice (in place of salt), bubble wrap and aluminium foil which all give great effects! 😊
Thanks for another fabulously helpful video. I've learned so much through watching these and your watercolour for beginners class! The technique that was most helpful is using a knife for those tiny lines. Perfect for veins on leaves and flowers ... saves me having to find a hedgehog eyelash brush.
I’m so glad I found you here. I paint with oil mostly but with your techniques Ive learned today I’ll be pulling out my watercolors again. Thanks again. ❤
Excellent, Michele, You gave me lots of ideas on how to paint limestone fossil beds for my fossil project. I am going to try plastic film, salt, masking fluid, oil pastels and maybe combinations of several techniques to get the textures I need. Thank you so much. Kate Blakeslee
Love all the tricks you're sharing, thank you! That masking tape trick would be pretty awesome for rocks! Would make it look like lichen or moss is growing on the rock. I'll have to try it!~
Hello , this is my first visit to your channel today and I wanted to thank you for sharing and compliment your teaching and demonstrations. This will be useful to my book efforts and very helpful to personalize with tlc myself. Most appreciated .
Very exciting and inspiring - thank you so much 🥰 I think they're all very interesting but for now I'm very inspired to try the masking tape and the clinge film techniques 👍
In particular, I can see me using the knife scratching! I had heard of it before, but not after the paint has been applied. Looks like a great tool to use! Also, congratulations in advance on hitting 100k!

scratching is great for making flower stamens and anthers and butterfly antennae

Amazing Tips. Love that you unselfishly share all your experience and techniques. Your videos are clear and precise. Thank you very much.
Thanks so much for watching!
I love how fast you are in this. Most tutorials are mind numbingly slow/ boring and I cannot get through them.
Some things can be done fast, not all, thanks for watching :-)
I am so happy I found your video's. As a beginner water color painter I really appreciate them. Looking forward to more, thank you!
You are a wonderful teacher! Thank you for sharing so many great ideas with us 🌸
Thank you!
YOU ARE AMAZING, THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEOS

I think the cling wrap would make just a beautiful card in itself. Loved all of those thank you.
I LOVED the masking tape tip and the oil pastels!
I'm so glad!
I really like these techniques. Thank you
Glad you like them!

I love the masking tape and Bokeh techniques. Really cool!
It's so pretty!
The masking tape made it look like a map. It would be awesome to make an antique looking map!
Thank you always learn something.
