fun fact: when you have fun drawing, you draw more, when you draw more, you get more experience, when you get more experience, your drawings look better, and when your drawings look better, you have more fun.
Whether you've never used watercolors or you've been painting for a while, I feel like you need to hear all these tips/reminders today! I really hope you find them helpful! 💖
The best tip was just start at 1:27. I have been searching which is the best for me etc but that advice made me think just start. And i also have a suggestion about a series. You should pick some countries like india(im an indian so if you do use this pls do india first) , mexico, australia etc and review the best and cheapest brand of that country this will increase your sub from overall world and help us too.
Yesterday I tried out guache paint for the first time. I tried to paint a pretty simple scenery of a path in the forest (the true clichée image haha) and it turned out like.. okayish? it wasn't too bad, but I noticed at a few points that this medium is still very new to me and I don't know yet how to use the colour to create the effects that i wanted. I thought, okay, it's fine, it's your first piece with this medium. A classic practice project. And then, today my bf came over to my place, saw the painting and asked straight away if he could take it because it would look awesome on his bookshelf. :D So, what I wanted to say, even if you think you could do better or a painting didn't turn out the way you wanted, maybe someone else likes it. Have faith in yourself, you can do it! *continues learning how to use guache properly * :D
I feel like quiting in my passion. I feel so down, i feel like there's no improvement to my art. But when i watched this video, this lift me up! This is so motivating! Thank u for saving me from giving up! God bless you!
As today is Teacher's day in India, I wish u a very Happy Teachers day. U r an amazing artist + teacher from whom I learnt watercolor painting. May God keep u always safe and blessed.
To the person who's reading this: You are kind, selfless, brave, and smart. Hope you stay safe and happy. Hope you dream goals come true Comment them below! (My goal is that I become a big art RUclipsr like Makoccino one day)
Thanks, you too. I dream of being able to live exclusively of of my art, and I wish that my husband and I will be able to move to a place that is big enough so we can have a little rescue shelter for cats in need.
I used to paint with acrylic and gouache for years before to try watercolors.. Soooo different medium indeed. 😂 I wasnt prepared. Anyway i have been painting with watercolor since almost two years now and i feel like this video is made for me ahah thanks for all these precious advices, it is really important to remind ourselves to NOT COMPARE to others , and to try, and be kind to ourselves...!! Anyway super video as usual. With love from France 😘
These advices are really good!! My artists friends gave up on watercolors cause they were afraid to take time and experiment with the medium. And also saw a lot of beautiful artworks made with watercolors and couldn't do the same. I'm happy that I didn't give up and tried a lot. Now I feel more confident and I like watercolors the most!! c:
I've used watercolor for 8 months now and I still always want to watch these beginner videos because for me the basics are very very important. Great video! 😊
Watching you just calms me down when I am frustrated with my art, specially because I use watercolor a lot 🥺💖 so it's helpful and also therapeutic 🥰🧡🧡🧡
I am a begginer in watercolor , this video was really helpful to identify all the ways in which i can make my watercolor painting come together ~Thank You !!
All your tips are right on the money. Alot of those tips is what I feel and I have high expectations of my work but sometimes it didn't come out the way I thought. Thank you.
I love your attitude about learning and being kind to yourself, focusing on the process and recognizing that along the way, you ARE learning and improving ... hopefully having fun too. Just what I'm looking for.
I just bought a new set of watercolor today and I came here just to learn a few techniques before digging with the colors and this video motivates me so much. thank you so much Makoccino. More power and please continue making videos.
Thank you for sharing some lovely quotes to live by! "There's always more where that came from" & "change is hard at first, messy in the middle and gorgeous at the end" 😆😊❤️❤️
Okay, it's a really motivational video for those who are thinking to try watercolor 😍😍😍 I'm beginner, I usually work on acrylic and charcoal, I've never ever touched watercolor and I'm really afraid of mess in watercolor 😅😅 but after this I'm confident and I'm sure I'll try it soon but not yet. From this video Mako, you have given confidence to 1000 of people who wants to try watercolor but afraid of the mess❤️❤️❤️ Thanks 😍😍 Take care❤️❤️❤️
I just started watercolors like 3 days ago and I've been just painting everything - I did the aurora tutorial and made a ton of bookmarks for friends, it came out amazing!
Thank you so much!! I have just started watercolor painting and your videos are always super helpful for me! You are such a great teacher and artist! Thank you so much for sharing!😍
So i am from india. I am in 12th grade and i have 1 year to master watercolor composition, memory drawing, and still life. After that i want to persue BFA painting and believe me mako- your channel is a life savior! Love you! 🥺❤
My favourite: #6 Your painting can look ugly in different stages. That is so true, it happens so many time to me. And then i sort of feel like i shouldn't paint further. Thanks for this one specially ❤🧡💛
I use to not like watercolors but then after watching you and others I realized that it was because I was using $1 watercolors. Now they are my favorite art supply. 😊❤
Thank you so much I was wanting to start watercolour but I decided not to because it is really hard and I can't do it but your video really motivated me 💙
Mako you are an inspiration and I loveeeeee ur videos ur so motivating and you have helped me soo many times! You are sooo beautiful too and i love ur cute accent! Your videos are always a refreshing break!
Such sweet, thoughtful and helpful tips!! Thanks for making this video. ❤️❤️ Can you please make a video on simple watercolor supplies for beginners? And which brands you use? I live in Canada. Hopefully those will be available here as well.
Hi mako this is my next time present in your videos I first saw you in the painting of starry night and I love the way you made it and also liked the way you told how to paint it Thanks ! Mako 😁😘
I just started watercolor and Did my first painting watching your sunset video thanks so much! Please continue to post ☺️ I did notice the hairs from my brushes were coming out sooo quality over quantity is right haha 🤣
This was absolutely on time for me since I'm thinking about starting experimenting with watercolours again. It always gets messy and I get discouraged :( so thanks for the reminders 😇❤
U and Amanda are the best ever artists i know maco....😘 I really needed these tips and luckly u have uploaded it And i can understand it more clearly😉😍
Definitely agree with the supplies tips. Especially don’t feel like you need to buy a lot of colors. I recently purchased my first professional grade watercolors and the color array would’ve definitely paralyzed me if I started out with them😂
YYaaay!! finally i was waiting for a video like this :)) i'm not bad and not good at wetercolors that's why i needed your video !! thak you sooo much for sharing it with us stay safe
