I am pretty sure many have given up on watercolors due to inability, or lack of confidence in controlling their paint and water. I know, its challenging. Its really a feel, although there are some techniques, which I'm sharing here! BTW, I also go into detail in my NEW watercolors for Beginners online course for you, with worksheets too. debbie-walker....
This video should be a big help, informative and hopefully take some of the intimidation and fear of this medium. If I can strip away some of the fear, and confusion out of this technique for you I will be thrilled.

BEGINNER'S PLAYLIST • Welcome Beginners! Th...
Keep practicing I've got you. Practice these daily, and this I know, you WILL GET BETTER.
Watercolors are like no other medium for me, they are mysterious, spontaneous, exciting, and always showing me something new they can do.

I invite you to practice an entire sheet for these powerful practices.
The more familiar and comfortable you get with these techniques your paintings will improve! I still get blooms, drips, and crazy things, and I have learned to accept them as some of the little gifts that watercolors elicit! In practicing these, you are beginning to gain familiarity and com portability with watercolors.
The more you practice, the more you will gain muscle memory.
It is so rewarding when all of a sudden, you get it! You will be painting up a storm.

Thank you for your video I can never get enough of these they are so helpful to remind to practice. Especially when I don't know what I want to paint or if I am not in the mood to paint these are a great idea to just practice.
You are so welcome! I love that you know what inspires you when you want to paint but not inspired. I quite often will just play, use my favorite colors, brushes, and next thing you know I am inspired again. Paint what you love :-) These are great practices too for that muscle memory. Most of all have fun!
great explanation, this will help a lot of people 🥰
Wonderful Chantelle, We can never practice this foundational technique too much! Happy practicing friend.
You are a great teacher ~
You've come a long way baby 😘
Thank you Tina! He he I just zipped back to that commercial... I dont remember what it was for, but loved that saying. As have you friend. Ive been watching you, seeing your paintings, wow, that Giraffe was just fabulous! You better be framing that one gf. You make me so proud
I so enjoy your videos that I made up a drinking game! Every time you confuse petal with leaf, take a drink!😅 Seriously though, i learn a lot with your videos and enjoy them a lot even though i don't practice as much due to a busier schedule than before. But I still watch and enjoy! Thank you, Debbie!❤
Glad you like them! lol, drinking game.. Hopefully, I dont do that too often! Have fun, thanks for the laugh t his morning!
Another great lesson, Debbie.
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy don't worry, I usually do it with juice, coffee, water or pretend drink! 😂 I love watching your videos and hearing your enthusiasm for water colors. I also go to an acrylic class at my clinic for beginners and I like water colors better! 😉
Thank you Janice! Im glad you enjoyed it
Oh, how I needed this tutorial 😊 This is so incredibly helpful for me. I enjoy all of your work. Off to practice. Have a beautiful day ❤❤😊
Thrilled to hear this was helpful, this one technique can be a huge game changer Happy practicing! Use your favorite color to make it extra fun!
¿What is the best type of tape to secure the paper ?
A few ways I secure my paper
Washy tape amzn.to/4bXljdH
Painters tape
I have also used masking.
Make sure when you remove tape you wait till your paintings is dry, or you can risk tearing the paper. Also pull towards the side vs holding and pulling upwards.
I typically if painting really wet, I use a watercolor paper block by Meeden. works great! amzn.to/3LM6VKk

I find my biggest problem is seem to always have added too much water to my paint so my paintings are light or don’t have a lot of pop. I have done a couple of the transparent flower pics that this works great for but not for non transparent images.
@@Judith-z3z Hi friend, a suggestion- practice creating three values of your pigment.
One that is a mixture of 80% paint/ 20% water = darkest value high saturation
50% paint/50% water = mid value
80% water/20% paint = lightestvalue
Always tap off your brush before going to your canvas or paper to remover excess liquid
I hope that helps 🎨🖌️
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy Thank you for this tip I struggle with this at times too.
Yes, I still practice. Once you get the feel it will be a game changer, it just happens, you will get better and better and then you start enjoying it more and more~ Im glad this helped.
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasyI have done the water control exercises creating different levels of wash.i just seem to have a hard time getting it into my paintings. Practice, practice, practice!
I love hearing that, it is what will really develop that muscle memory and next thing you know you iwll feel like you can paint anything!
