Hi Kristine, I really appreciate being able to paint watercolor with your guidance. Thank you very much, God bless you!
You are so welcome!
Thanks for your tips. I trace an image from my iPad, but just a thought, I flip the image first so I can transfer the traced image only once to the watercolour paper without using graphite on the back. It works for me and saves time and any possible graphite mess. Great videos, thank you.
Great, yes, there are many ways of transferring. But for myself I don’t try to skip extra time with transferring because while you do that (multiple times) you get to know your subject better. Especially if it is a more complicated composition. Just a thought to consider
Thank you for sharing all this information and being a great educator and delivering information in such clear simple manner ❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome! And thank you for watching
You are amazing! Thank you. I’ve needed this kind of instruction, I still struggle….youre my new found hero😀
Thank you for watching and I’m happy that you like it and found it helpful 🤩
Very useful tips!
No Jums var tiešām daudz ko mācīties, liels paldies, Kristīne!
Es ļoti priecīga, ka varat atrast ko noderīgu. Ar prieku dalos ♥️♥️♥️jauki ka atradāt!
Thank you. I always use a special A4 sheet (common print paper) I covered with graphite. I put it between my drawing and the watercolor paper, and then I do the same as you to transfer the drawing. The big advantage is I can reuse again and again this same covered graphite sheet !
Also good idea 👍 only to have all the area covered with graphite can leave some extra graphite marks. Because we place our palm ✋ on it and it also can transfer some marks
@@KristineArt I take care not to put my palm neither the side of my hand on the paper while I transfer, and if there are some unwanted graphite marks despite these precautions, I use an eraser "mie de pain" (I don't know the word in english ??) which is so soft that it won't damage the paper.
🙂
Thank you Kristine, it was very helpful.
Welcome 🤗 happy to help
Thank you for the lesson. very useful.
Welcome 🤗
Thank you for the lesson ♥️
Welcome 🤗
This was great thanks so much
Happy that is will help! Next week new Lesson 💖
thanks for that very helpful video!! there is an app called tracer! lightbox tracing app, very useful because it can zoom, change the brightness and color (to greyscale) but mostly it has a screen lock function, so you can put your palm onto the screen without worrying about inputs through touching :)
Thank you for the tip on this app. Will try it out 👍🤗
Thank you! That was so helpful. I have ordered graphite stick and mechanical pencils.
Wonderful. They last for a very long time. I have my graphite stick since 2016 🤩
Maybe I’ve missed this aspect, but need to ask. I see how to transfer the subject to the watercolor paper. But then you have light graphite drawing on watercolor paper. Upon that you went over the graphite lines with 0.3 mechanical pencil. So when, if ever, do you erase leftover graphite lines with grey eraser??? Thank you.
After transfer is on the original paper I go over again with 0.3 pencil. Be sure to be super light, don’t push pencil too hard. And then with elastic eraser remove excess amount of graphite off the paper. So that on the original paper stays as less as possible
@@KristineArt Thanks so much🥰
This is so helpful! Thank you very much Kristine!
Glad it was helpful!
Love this lesson so much, thank you!
You're so welcome! Happy to help 😊
Thank you💐
You're welcome 😊
Thank you so much for your detailed explanations! Your helpful tips have helped me as I am a beginner and want to learn from the experts! I have your palette and sketchbook and want to begin my learning process! 😊
You are so welcome! And happy that you feel inspired to start!
Even though my art style isn´t as realistic as yours, because I make my paintings from my imagination, not from reference, I still like to transfer my sketch, because when I attack (roarr 🦁) the paper with sketching, it would destroy the beautiful surface of paper I´m using for the artwork.
Also try using "bulldog clips" instead of tape for keeping the sketch attatched to the watercolor paper when transferring. It doesn´t damage the paper.
Definitely agree, no matter painting style we need that paper clean and neat. Those extra graphite marks are completely ok on the sketch paper but not on the thick watercolor paper
Thank you so much my dear Kristine 🤗😘❤️
You are so welcome!
Thank you😍
You are welcome 😊
Welcome 🤗
Thanks soo much. Is esencial this lesson and I didn't know
You are welcome!
Hello Kristine, when you are drawing free (not copying) this is excatly what i am unable to do... i guess this is practicing but i prefer practicing in painting. so what would be the correct way for me to copy the preferecne ? also, i've tried to use the graphite but it stained the paper. appreciate your advise. thank you,
My recommendation - For painting session transfer ready outline or trace from reference photo. And when you have time practice only drawing - without worrying about smudging and not being precise and all those extra lines and eraser marks 🤩
Would this work the same with using it for sketches involving people /animals ?
When looking at the subject you need to ask which form do you see. For example stems are cylinder form and also hands are cylinder form. Face is round form. All starts with a form. I’m not looking at each subject as individual, I start with establishing the basic form
Wonderful advise and tutorial. Is your graphite pencils HB or 2B, etc? Also, what is your brand of eraser that you use on your watercolor paper? Thanks 😊
Graphite stick is 2B and eraser for erasing some details is from local craft store. But it is also available on online art stores. Look for pen eraser
on your planshet ahah are you by any chance russian ? it's a russian word, but not english =)
Sorry, I’m not russian. I’m from Latvia and it is also latvian name 😅🙈😃
