The most striking thing about this is ( and I totally get it ) that even your examples of what not to do are amazing. Much like playing music it’s not what or what not to do, but, when to do it.
I am well thanks. Only one of the cats is mine he is black. He no longer lives with me (landlord), but he's only 10 minutes away with my ex and I visit him often, he is very happy. I am planning to move next year and adopt some new cats!
Most people seem to push the wet paper method hard. I have gravitated to dry paper and if I need wet in wet I will either pre-wet the area I need, sky is a good example, or I will hit it with a light wash first. It seems to me that putting down clean water is a waste of a step when it could easily be a starting colour, even a very light value colour can boost the depth as long as it is done in such a way as to not accidentally create a muddy result.
Dear Michele, I do SOOOO enjoy your videos. They are very, very helpful and inspiring! I really appreciate your skill and experience and down-to-earth wisdom (WAIT--WAIT--WAIT!! until it really IS dry) lol. Also -- very good production value. Your audio is crisp and clear. Your lighting is lovely. You are organized and have all your examples in mind, and have done a very good job editing so that your pace is snappy. AND you have such a good sense of humor. I hope the weather is treating you well. I am in New Mexico (US southwest) -- our relative humidity has been in the single digits for 2 weeks, lots of wildfires. Eek. What we wouldn't give for one of your afternoon rains! Anyway, THANK YOU!
I am really enjoying watching your smaller videos for tips ...a nice break in a busy day for me but I don't feel guilty as im learning something all the time. Thank you!
Thank you for the tips! I don't think I ever realized that I should just be using the tip of the brush to soak up spots of water, that may really help me a lot!
I am really enjoying the 3 tips videos. Great information & reminders for intermediate & experienced artists as well as the beginners. Thanks for explaining how to control your water levels in painting.
"Let the paint dry" is a mantra I learned when I was building miniatures. Also, though less useful for watercolor painting, was "Let the glue dry" which was probably the #1 worst mistake everybody struggled with. Waiting is so Not Fun! :)
i have to remember that first tip! i've been using a tissue and i just don't have the control i need and sometimes it makes a mess ... thanks so much for all you do for us!
Without re-watching I am not sure but it's probably one from my own set by Jackman's Art Materials, you will find the link on my website, they can be bought singly too. I only use synthetic brushes as I am vegan.
Thanks so much! But what kind of paper did you use? I see artists using hot and cold press paper, and cotton. What kind did you use here? Can you please do a video about paper? And when to use certain kinds that will work best with the composition? 🌷
Hot-press is really smooth, while cold-press has a bit of texture to it. Both hot-press and cold-press paper come in wood pulp (cellulose) and cotton versions. Cotton is more absorbent and said to be better for watercolour painting.
I've only used paper towels in a few cases. One time, I considered the color in an area too dark. I applied a wet brush, then blotted, and the color looked lighter.
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber I tried blotting on areas that were too wet. Didn't work out so well, so I just use a dry brush to blot the excess water or paint now.

You’re welcome 😊
Besides the awesome hints, LOVE the new haircut. So flattering.

You are such a good artist and explain so well. ❤
Thank you so much 😀
Thanks Michele! 🎨🖼️🥰

Stephen Quiller is a master of wet into wet ( pre-wetted paper). His paintings are exquisite.
I agree to all the above, but I have to acknowledge your whimsical frog ring (♥️). Missing your adorable cats, though. I hope you are all very well
I am well thanks. Only one of the cats is mine he is black. He no longer lives with me (landlord), but he's only 10 minutes away with my ex and I visit him often, he is very happy. I am planning to move next year and adopt some new cats!
Thanks for this ! These bite-size videos are great. Particularly liked the demo about wet in wet technique. ❤
Hurray! Another awesome video! I could get used to 2 vids a week!
Thanks for watching!
This is super helpful!
I'm so glad!
Thanks Michele. Always a pleasure. 💖

Cats are awesome. 😻 Good tips!
Yes they are!
Love the haircut Michelle
Thank you 😊
'When you think it's dry, let it dry some more' That's where I go wrong, so many times and still not learnt.
We all do it, even when we know!!
Love your new hair style!
Thank you so much!

Great!
Great three tips Michele.🥰

Great tips! Thanks I'm going to have a go at what you have said and not use so much water!❤🌷
Wonderful!

I really like that brush you are using, I know you may get this question a lot, but what kind of brush is it?

I am planning a paper video this spring :-)
Famous last words of lots of things that go wrong: "Ohhhh, it'll be OK." ;-)
😅
I've only used paper towels in a few cases. One time, I considered the color in an area too dark. I applied a wet brush, then blotted, and the color looked lighter.
Yes it's possible to do this and if you take clean water or paint on top immediately you can smooth out any marks 🙂
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber I tried blotting on areas that were too wet. Didn't work out so well, so I just use a dry brush to blot the excess water or paint now.
