- I'm finally making a watercolor beginners video for all of my subscribers who are interested in watercolor painting, I hope it'll help you get started with this beautiful media! As you know I'm not a professional artist, painting is only a hobby of mine, so everything in this video is based on my personal opinions and experience... I just wanted to share my thoughts, espeically with those of you who want to learn how to paint watercolor by yourselves:)

Sorry for the typo: it should be Shmincke!!

Yes! I loved this! And I really love your beautiful watercoloring! Thank you so much for all of the useful information. I just started this watercolor journey and look forward to more of your videos your guidance! :)
Thank you!! I will definitely keep sharing them:D Btw, you have a wonderful channel!! I'm planning to catch up your videos little by little,lol
I love how you did not focus on getting only "pro" equipment. This video was very informative. Thank you.
True, I usually don't fuss over the small differences on the equipements... there's no perfect brush or paint ;p
Just found your channel today. So glad I did. I'm a beginner and right now it's all I think about. Plz keep them coming and and on drawing would also be helpful. Thank you!
Thank you, I will:)
What an excellent tutorial!
You've clearly thought through watercolour painting from the viewpoint of the beginner.
It's well paced, unbiased and packed full of those essential basic skills that must be mastered.
You have a pleasant voice and enunciate your words clearly.
I thoroughly enjoyed this first video an look forward to painting along with you in the future.
Thank you, your efforts were not wasted.
Ray

Wei, you are a really great art teacher, and I learnt a lot from you in this video. Pls make more videos, I enjoy them much. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on water colors with us. 👍😃☀🌻
It's my pleasure:)
If I could say a million thanks in every language, I would... but a heart full of gratitude to you for sharing your journey in watercolors with all, yet your style so speaks to me personally because I see myself in your art and choice of music even on this video. I have only just miraculously found you today. Your video holds so much information as well as your visual techniques at the end. Thank you so very much. I will be referring to you as I begin my own journey into watercolors at the age of 53, I think! (giggle)
Thank you very much Julie, your words put a smile on my face:)
that was AMAZING and inspiring~ thank you~
+Audrey Morgan Thanks, it's my pleasure:)
I should have watched this video before embarking on my new interest a month ago. It would save me a lot of money and time, too. Thanks for sharing.
Just wanted to say thanks for your videos - they really are helpful for those of us learning watercolours, and the music is perfect. Very inspiring.
Thank you, I'm very glad :)
I saw journals and they’re soooo beautiful !
This is a great guide for anyone starting out with watercolours, you explain everything so nicely. And even though I'm not new to watercolours, there's still lots for me to learn here too. Thank you for sharing!
+Noxmoony Thank you!! I'm glad you enjoyed it! P.S. your videos are sooo cool!! I wish I can draw the animation characters as wellas you do :D
Wei Taillandier You're so welcome! I've been binging on your videos XD They are so relaxing to watch and there's lots to learn as well. And OMGGG thank you!!! KYAA I'm so surprised you checked out my little channel, but it means a lot to me. And I'm sure you can too if you just start!! Maybe you can try making a watercolour based animation, it'd be really fun to make I think!
This is so helpful. I have just started painting with watercolors, although I am not new to painting. I have no formal training, just doing it all "freestyle" and "flowy." I have so much to learn about shading and value and I think ultimately it will make a big difference in my paintings. Still trying to figure it all out. For now, in the playing stage. Slowly buying some nicer paper and paints, brushes (Cotman line) to take it up a notch. I could watch you painting for hours! It's so meditative and relaxing. You are so talented. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, talent, and experience with us.
+Cynthia Ava Thank you very much!! If you already have some experience with other media, I think you'll pick up watercolors very fast, the basic art principles are similar, it'll just take some time for you to get familiar with playing the game of water and pigments :p and yes, good shading and value and composition will make a huge difference to your painting. Wish you all the good luck!!!
Beautiful! I have the same Van Gogh set and really like it. I have Schmincke ultramarine both in student and artist grade and the only difference I have noticed is how they spread on wet paper - better for the artist one. I use Lefranc and Bourgeois as well - the Louvre set was the first I ever bought. What I love about you though is you are actually using your paints to paint. I mostly collect them :( Have you ever tested Brehat watercolors? What I would like to hear more is some color theory, especially how you get your darks. When do you add red and when you ad blue to darken your greens and reds.
I haven't heard of Brehat... I normally don't care much about collectiong brands, I only have a few:)
Love your tutorial and you are amazing at painting beautiful artwork (new subscriber)!!!!🙂🖌🎨👍
So young and so knowledgeable! It may not be your profession, but you're giving some pro tips here ;)
+Milena Brandão Thank you very much! I learned from my own mistakes:p
Absolutely beautiful painting. But I was looking forward to the scumbling!!
+staygulf83 Thank you! Yea... I couldn't find a way to use it, it will come up in my next one:p
I don't know why but watching you paint really comfort me 😍
Thanks, lol
Awesome video as always :)
+lasagnapotterlover Thank you :D
such a pretty painting! always love your florals. they look so free. ❤
+electrabot Thanks Elisa:)
best tutorial for beginners I have seen till now ......
thank you :)
Thank you!
Wow, love everything about this video. The paints, brushes, especially the sample painting. The music is amazing as well. Thanks again for a wonderful video.
Hi Wei ! lovely painting and you are so gorgeous :) ! .Thanks for sharing this video . Looking forward to many more tutorials from you . Bye !
+Yashwanth Mayasandra Hi, thank you, I'm flattered :P
Your amazing, and you have explained it very good!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
+Olg 122 Thank you:)
thanks for making these videos :)! they always give me courage and determination to keep using watercolors.
+Mariah K It always makes me happy to hear that:)
What a beautiful and informative video! I have been painting for a little while now, but it was great to see your helpful review and to watch you paint. Thank you so much!
+OneTrueWord1988 P.S. I have a tip for viewers - while Wei is painting, if you want to slow it down, go into settings (the little wheel on the right of the bottom bar,) and change it to 0.5. (I usually turn the sound off also so it isn't distorted.) Maybe everyone already knows this, but in case they don't it might be helpful to someone. :)
+OneTrueWord1988 Oh wow, thank you so much! I didn't even know that,haha... that's so nice of you:D
+Wei Taillandier You're welcome! :)
Thank you so much for making this video, this helps me a lot😁😁
That was lovely, thank you
My pleasure:p
I'm very happy you made this video, and I'm absolutely in love with how you explained your techniques and preferences! I'm still starting out with my art, and I am just moving from pencil drawings onto painting, and a lot of times working with mediums like watercolors or gouache seems intimidating. You make me want to pick up my brushes and tackle the task until I succeed. Hat's off to you! Hope you have a lovely day :)
+AnneMayfair Thank you so being so nice! I certainly understand that moving from drawing to painting can be intimidating as first, I do hope you find this vid hepful and wish you good luck starting out with watercolors:)
Informative and stunning. Thanks so much for sharing. I love the way you give a back wash to your flower paintings :)
+BG Thomas Thank you:)
Thank You, Wei! It is a great beginner intro!
I really enjoy your videos and always take away a little tidbit. Thank you!! Beautiful painting as usual!
+Jeanette Duke Thank you:)
Love this video! I appreciate that you discuss techniques and then demo them in an actual painting. Gorgeous lily!!
Thank you so much for this video Wei :) I'll definitely take some of your recommandations ! Take care bises xx
+HelloCocoon Glad you find it helpful :P Bises
Thank you for this great video!!
I love the soft touches in your painting! Very pleasing looking at all your paintings! You made it look so easy but how do you decide the values of the colours? When to add lighter & darker colours? Notice also the smooth flow of paint with your brush strokes. Will you do a simple tutorial on the most used brush strokes?
thank u for making this video its ver helpful. I'm not an artist but i like arts and I'm getting into watercoloring lately and i was kind of lost but this video helped me a lot :)
+AmonQ8 That's really great!! I'm very glad to hear it :)
What an amazing video! Thank your for all the explanations and demonstration I really appreciate it!
+Bloody Jack Always a pleasure:)
Fabulous video, and fabulous painting, truly lovely and delicate and many thanks for the tuition and inspiration to get my paints out, tfs x
+Elizabeth Naisbitt I'm veeeery glad to hear that:)
Thank you for this video, it's been really helpful. I'm very glad I've found your channel!
+mirimika Welcome :D
Thank you for this video, very useful and informative =) Also great painting at the end (and I think I'm in love with your brush ahah everytime I see you using it I wanna buy it lol although I already have big round brushes and should really not spend more money =P )
+kanachiaki Lol, I have the same craving for paints:D
Wei Taillandier
LOL
Thank you. Very informative!
+escalosobre Thank you:)
Thank you very much for such a nice video. I enjoy it.
My pleasure:)
I found you on IG! Your works are gorgeous. I'm new to watercolour paint. In Thailand we don't get varieties of brands so I'm practicing with the market paints 😯
A question pls. Does the pencil line need rubbing off?
Thank you! You can give it a gentle rubbing after the paint dries off, but most pencil marks under the paint can't be easily removed
This is so beautiful, just found you today. I wish you would tell about what colors you are mixing. thank you for this video
Thank you, I couldn't remember the names of colors now, but I think you'll find all the names if you search the van gogh 12 color watercolor set
Awesome video!!! Jen
Love this Wei! I really like this setup for this video, it really suits you. I could watch you paint all day. If you could have just 2 or 3 brushes, which ones would you choose?
+Maketheamy Thanks Amy! I think I'll take one or two round brush and a rigger brush, like the ones I used for this painting, the Raphael petit gris pur size 0 and the rigger brush that comes with the VanGogh box
Beautiful
Thank you for this fantastic video Wei. The skills are very practical for watercolour beginners like me. I saw you draw a lot of landscape. Do you also draw food in your journal / TN? I would be very happy if you could make a video of food drawing in the future :D
Thank you!! I draw/paint a little bit of everything, flowers, portraits, food, landscape etc...mostly in my wc journal or my TN, I'll definitely make some videos of painting or drawing food in the future:)
+Wei Taillandier So happy to hear that:D I will keep watching your videos and practise the basic skills first
you are so KAWAII! :3
Great video tho
Thank you:)
Nice tutorial, thank you.
Fantastic video! Beautiful painting..... Would you please share your palette colors? I love your brush...is it like a squirrel brush? It seems to hold a lot of water. Thanks so much for sharing! Love your painting style.
+nknana3 Thank you, yes I do have an unboxing video of this set where I listed out the colors: ruclips.net/video/Oi04iALuqDA/видео.html I'm not sure about the brush, it is an animal hair brush, but it's not really specified what kind... I'm guessing squirrel tail as well:)
A very good video for beginners (and almost beginner 😜 ) save it in a ”map” here so I can go back when needed!
so nice this video, thank you
Merci Wei, c'est gentil et très intéressant. Je n'en reviens pas comme tu gaspilles très peu de peinture lorsque tu fais tes mélanges! Louise
+Louise Boyer Merci Louise:)
A good Idea is to try papers in post card size which are not to expensive and you can aford to buy differant brands and make a better choice then having to spend a lot of money on a block or pad of good water color paper.
Yes, that's also a great idea:)
Hi, Wei. I love your artistic style--and enjoy watching your videos very much! (A little off topic, but did you make something with the thick felt you showed in your art haul?). Thank you for sharing your talent and ideas!!!
+amy deming Hi Amy, thank you very much! Yes I did use the felt to make a junk journal cover and I'll show you in my next video very soon:P
+Wei Taillandier I look forward to seeing it! Thanks for the artistic inspiration! 🎨🖌🌸
Ur painting is just as beautiful as u
+madeleinerao There you are,lol... Ur comment is just as sweet as you are:p
Thank you for such a wonderful into video to watercolor. this was very helpful. I saw the paper recommendation but not anything on sketchbooks. any brands you'd recommend for a beginner?
Thank you. I've been looking for the perfect sketchbook and I've tried a few, but none of them really caught my heart, the Strathmore 400 artjournal is not so bad though. I ended up hand-making my own sketchbook, which is avaible in my Etsy shop: lepetitcoussinet :)
Thank you for this wonderful informative tutorial. I wonder if I may ask that when you add detail/darker paint to your painting, do you wait for the previous layer to dry first? Thank you so much for sharing. I have certainly gained more knowledge about this medium since I have become a subscriber.
+Sherron Robinson Thank you very much! Depending on the result I hope to acheive, I sometimes wait for the previous wash to dry off so I can get a clear crisp new wash, other times I simply paint on damp wash when I want a softer, less defining look.
Hi! Thanks for your videos! It's really a big help to us beginners! Especially on your take on student or artist grade colors and the other supplies. What can you advice regarding buckling of watercolor paper? I use Canson 200 GSM for practice and it the colors pool on areas where it warps. I have cotton papers but will use it only when I am better at watercolors. 😅 Thank you!
The warping tends to happen more on thinner paper, you can prevent this by taping it down to a painting board
If you were to ask me which of the three roses were painted with supermarket colors, I couldn't tell you because all three looked fantastic!
LOL, Thanks
great video. can you tell more about the highlights and low lights. thanks :)
Thank you, maybe in my future video:)
yesssss
+thepatchy walker :D
v nice video and v nice music , can u tell us about using Gouache ?! and can u do a tutorial for trees ?
Thank you, but unfortunately I don't have experience with gouache
maybe then u can give a try and video the whole experience and first impressions :D .. that will be genuine
I need nice quality papers for watercolor and have a really tight-budget. I may buy them from internet. If i get so cheap papers they don't really work well, you know. I wanted to ask you about this problem. Thanks for video good job!
Yes, good quality paper makes a difference, for beginners and for practice purpose, cheap paper is fine, when you start to get better, you might want to upgrade the paper too
Very nice. Because of your skill you make the student brand look equally as high quality as the Sennelier set. I am curious how your painting would look with the supermarket brand.
It doesn't look good,LOL
I've gotten a really cheap palette for like 6 bucks for around 36 colors (watercolor cakes) and some colors had little chunks of different color cakes randomly inside and it was so frustrating I thought I accidentally had some color on my brush but it was embedded inside so I agree those cheap ones really aren't worth it
I use mine only for high-lighting agenda activities now;p
in my country, its quite hard to find these supplies, so how do i find it? and i agree that brands dont matter becuz mine is cheap one from market but it works good lol. btw lovely content, i would like to see more videos soon!
Thank you, perhaps you can try finding them online, like amazon?
1.4 (1st) liker! :)))
Lovely work, and advice.
Can you tell me the name of your brush
And size you are using to paint the Lilly
Thank you God Bless
Beryl Rose
Thank you Beryl. The brush I used is Raphael petit gris pur size 0
Bella
Thanks!
Hi ,
Thank You for sharing ! Do you paint in Chinese gongbi tradition ?
No... but I did try to paint in Chinese watercolors once
I only have mixed media and card stock,should I go get watercolor paper?
Mixed media paper is usually for watercolor, gouache and acrylic, so it should be ok :)
好认真.
+xiaobai xiao 谢谢！
Hi! What kind of paper did you use for the different watercolour techniques at 12:13?
+VPH Samson Hi! hmm..I should've probably mentioned that... I used the Canson 300gsm cold-pressed watercolor paper, I believe it's a cellulose cotton mixed paper
+Wei Taillandier thank you! is it canson Montval or XL? I love how the watercolors flow on the paper.
VPH Samson You're welcome:) It's Canson XL, I prefer this one than the Montval, which is actually 100% cellulose, I might do a comparison of these different papers in the future
That's a great idea! I was actually going to suggest that since most people don't have the budget to buy different papers and test them out themselves. looking forward to your watercolor paper comparison! :)
How did u learn to paint.
In the country I am in there is none of it (currently cause I didnt explore much)
There are other brands I didn't put in the video:)
24:44 Does anybody know the name of this song? It's super familiar, but I just can't put my finger on it. :) Thank you.
Georgiana Dima , its the Hymn to Mother Mary...... "Mother Dear, O Pray for me" :-)
JendFran Thank you so much, friend! :) That music in the background, exactly when she was adding the concentrated pink/red, left me in awe. It made the moment kinda magical. ^^ Have a nice day! And Halloween!
Georgiana Dima
I think it's the song "It came upon a midnight clear" A Christmas song
