You give an amazing number of pearls that people may not even pick up like being careful not to mixture gouache with your water colors because they make it milky. That experience is valuable.
The best way to flatten your paper in the middle of painting or at the end is to let it dry or dry it with a hairdryer and then put it on your ironing board, paint side down and iron it. You can cover it with a thin cotton cloth but you don't need to. This is for 100% cotton paper. Iron it on the cotton setting. Do not scorch it by leaving your iron on it. Several Iron-overs are better than one long one. You may need to spritz it with a little damp water to iron it flat. It's so easy to get your paper flat and to continue your painting that way.
I just looked for the line drawing and couldn't find it. Newbie here so maybe I am in the wrong spot or is it gone? Thank you Love your work and your videos, Rachel.
Not only are you a gifted painter, but also a remarkable teacher. Just that one tip about softening dry on dry brush marks will be a game changer in my paintings!
Beautiful work! Love how your painting is evolving! Thank you for posting. I really enjoyed watching you paint and "futtz." I'm an extreme "futtzer" too.
so beautiful, I love your style. I'd love you to paint my kitty who came to me and stayed at my side for 25 years. Lucy looks just like your rendition !!!
Hmmm, I have lots of bunnies, fox, zebra, etc if you look through some of my recent videos. I also have a playlist for dogs at ruclips.net/p/PLk8QfRJaMFF0bB24HK8biNPwtYXj7eQk-
Gorgeous cat portrait! Fascinating eyes & fur textures! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video filled with lots of tips & techniques for beginners. I learned quite a bit from this.

That's good! Can't make a good painting without futzing right?

I bet Lucy is gorgeous!
Rachel, I love your videos, I learn something every time.
That means so much coming from you 💗
Out of the hundreds of different watercolour paint, how do you determine which colours to choose when looking at a reference?
Color is less important than value - Here is a video to answer your question! ruclips.net/video/YMmQ_y3dbGE/видео.html
This is a great channel if you love cats and love to paint them. Wish there were more dogs and other animals featured.

I would love some tips on how to create a line drawing . I’m never sure how detailed it should be.
I usually just do an outline of the body, the main body features, and wherever there are high contrast value changes
So beautiful! Very dreamy! Thank you for sharing this with us, and showing your techniques. ♥
It's always a pleasure!
So beautiful! I love the way you portray animals. Thanks!
