      Nice video, allow me few suggestions, when wetting the paper you may want to choose a bigger brish and a flat one. bending the brush that way it's never good for the bristle and that brush it's actually not for that purpose! Flat brushes are best for that task. Big surface bigger brush = less time, less suffering for the brush. Same goes when applying the color for fugging effects you want to use flat instead of rounded bristles. That brush you are using it's for thinn objects and linear movements, not best for sided movement like you are doing. That being said nice video hope you start using my suggestions ;)

    Happy Saturday! I kept getting a lot of requests about how to paint certain effects with watercolors and that's why I decided to show you four techniques you can try out! I wanted to give you an overview of all these techniques so let me know if you would like to get me into more depth on a specific technique!

    • @namieiku
      @namieiku 5 лет назад +1

      Hello @makoccino, I love your technique videos, they really help. But I've been struggling with the wet-on-wet technique and I'm not sure if it's my fault, but the paper doesn't seem to hold water so well. It gets wrinkles even if I stick it to a flat surface, and as a result the water moves unevenly. Do you have any recommendation or have any favorite brand/type of watercolor paper for this technique?

    • @Makoccino
      @Makoccino  5 лет назад +4

    Everytime I watch a video of yours it makes me want to paint something, not because I want it to look as pretty as yours or whatever, but just to enjoy the process of painting rather than putting pressure on myself to create a perfect end result. Your videos help me fall in love with the process and creation of art and I love you so much for it ❤ thanks for the video !!

    Oh, you painted my cats! Pip is (mostly) black and fuzzy, shes little high-strung and doubles her tiny figure, when excited enough. Zig is white and longhaired, so obviously hes not as well defined on the white paper but Im sure hes there :) He camouflages perfectly while sleeping in the bathtub and turns transparent in the snow, unless you can see his eyes, magic cat. Thanks for the tips, they are all saved to my gray cell database and will be definitely used.

    I'm having problems keeping my paper wet long enough to do the effects you are showing. Particularly in reference to the forest scene with the fog, it seems as though your paper is staying wet for a very long time. Maybe it is just that you know what you're doing and you are able to get the paint on the paper quickly?...
