How can I sleep tonight 🙄😀 with all the ideas I have in my mind.. Wonderful and effective tool 😍 thank you for this! I'm very happy and take time to practice
Dorland wax used as a resist- I have never thought of nor used, but I think I will buy some and try it out on various paintings! I love to find new tools. Anytime I find something new to use on my paintings is a good day!
Thank you for introducing me to techniques other than bottled resist which I have the worst time with. I am forwarding this to my watercolor teacher at our local senior center to show the class. Meanwhile,, I am going to experiment.
I was wondering about this. I remember in elementary art class we would draw with crayon and then wash with watercolor. I was thinking about applying wax or vaseline to a watercolor's image and then doing a wash for background effect. I appreciate your examples. They save me my own trial and failures.
The Dorland's wax and leaves is my favorite, but they are all good techniques. The ocean spray was also quite nice. Thanks for sharing. And BTW, I enjoy the cats!
Yes I would love a tutorial on the Dorland's Wax! I actually got some recently but haven't yet tried it out. Thankyou for your wonderful tutorials, they're always so helpful!💗
This is definitely a great video full of wonderful techniques for a variety of different affects. I am going to try all the various ways to make sparkling water & waves in my next painting. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Yet another superb training video that shows so well your 20 years experience, which I have close to as well. If I had my way, having taken up WC , Oils (3 years a go) and now Mixed Media and the 'head shaking' disbelief of how bad so many wannabe Art tutors on here are, they would have to watch YOUR RUclipss before going live to the public and have someone as good as you, to approve them before doing so. Recently due to finding I seem to have a talent for semi abstract landscape painting purchased a very good Mixed Media artist tutorial video whose style I really like and believe I may do well in. He uses a fair bit of WC and Oil Pastel that really gives some fantastic surfaces but unlike you, rushes the application of how to do so. So thank Michelle, so much for this video plus you reminded me of candle technique as well.
Ah, thank you! I have no idea what other teachers are doing on RUclips, I rarely watch their videos, I kind of don't want to be influenced by anyone else, or worried I am doing youtube the wrong way, so I just do my thing and put it out there!
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber I certainly see the wisdom in your thinking. I also have greatly benefited in you doing so as today making use of some of my Paul Rubens Oils Pastels and WC Yellow Ochre & Quin Gold paints for the resist technique, created a really impressive professional looking beach which unlike me, I was well chuffed with.
It would be nice to be able to find wax pencils, such a cool medium! Dorlands wax , never heard of it , want to learn more about that. Wonderful demonstration for oil pastels . You are so clever!
Hi Kathy, Blick's carries wax resist crayons (that you can sharpen) by Susan Scheewe Wax Resist Sticks, under $5.00 US dollars for 4 . Always on backorder tho. I was wondering if Prisma colored pencil blender would work, all the blender is to my knowledge is a colorless pencil and those pencils are sooo waxy, I might give 'em a try. I love learning new things :-) Peace.
Thank you Michele. I really loved the Dorlands wax with leaves. As a complete beginner artist (can I call myself that yet?) I have not seen any of these techniques before. I am avidly watching all your videos and will be joining your group. Thanks again 🙏
I really do look forward to your videos! I’m going to practice w some wax because these are cool effects. I checked the price on amazon for Jacquard Products Dorland's 16-Ounce Wax, Medium (VDW1001) and it’s $21.56 US and $22.49 on dickblick I really like the leaf resist technique. thanks again for sharing your expertise.
The two for me Michele were the oil pastels and the Dorlands wax. I inherited three boxes of wax crayons and they have idled on a shelf - no longer! Thank you for these great techniques.
Fantastic lesson! I, too, would like to see more about Dorland's. If possible, would you please show this resist used in a splashing fountain? I would love to be able to paint a beautiful fountain in a park setting! (And some of those lovely leaves would be just perfect in the background.) Blessings Michele! Donna
AWESOME Michele! Thank you for this. Could you overlap the leaves? I could see putting some wax on some crinkled plastic wrap for a tie dye/batik effect.
Great idea. Yes you could overlap the leaves but it might become a little confusing, as they don't always leave the strongest shapes. But if you are feeling like experimenting, why not!
Hi Michele, fantastic tutorial. The Dorland's wax got me thinking of a "frosty window" with snowflake designs. The possibilities are endless with all these techniques. I haven't started to paint yet (only use colored pencils so far) I want to learn from artist's like you before I invest in supplies, well okay I do have some supplies lol, I want to get the best quality I can afford so I don't get discouraged; but I do have some white candles hanging to try, this really is a motivating video.. I'm excited to just jump in and start. Thank you for teaching us. Peace. p.s. sparking water and sparkling snow are two of most favorite things in nature to be mesmerized by :-)
Favorite tip: regular colored pencils. This one was new to me and sounds very appealing. I also appreciated the reminder that wax resists can be used over dry color. Thanks for posting another great tutorial. 💙🌵
Loved this video. Yes more with Dorland's please. I bought a jar a few months ago and haven't used it much. Can you show a painting on top of the dorland resist you did type of thing? Or several techniques with it.
Wow! Thank you, Michelle. Most of these methods are new to me and I love all the effects. Now just have to try them for myself and make friends (or not 😂).
Hi Michele, yet again you come through with such an interesting and helpful video. I remember when I first joined your FB group trying wax resist to produce highlights in water. At that time I believe I wasn't applying the wax correctly, so didn't get the results I was trying for. However, not only do I want to try this again, but all of the techniques you have demonstrated in your video. I particularly liked the Dorlands wax used with the leaves. This is so interesting, and would definitely look great in the background of a painting... so fascinating. Thank you so much for your amazing tutorials, and continued support. Take care and best wishes always. Aud ❤️
Oh my goodness!! They’re all new to me . ThankYou from the bottom of my heart for all this wonderful information. I’m really looking forward to trying them all out! I’ll also be buying that paste You mentioned near the beginning that begins with Do.... I can’t remember and if I stop writing to look I’ll lose this message. ThankYou SO MUCH !!
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber Hi. Yesterday I looked it up but I can only find suppliers in America (on Amazon). I don’t live in U.K. and in my province the art shops have now closed down. Any ideas? Is there another make that works too? Thanks
@@shaash5236 I don't know any other brands, I would try the masking fluid method linked in the pinned comment video. Another thing you can try is a masking tape method, making torn leaf shapes. I can't link here but the video is called Watercolor Background Ideas Masking Tape Trick
Michele, this was a really helpful tutorial. I especially loved the Dorland's wax used on the leaves. I've a painting I've had in my head and wasn't sure how to pull it off and this technique will be just what I needed. Thanks for sharing your time and talent. Blessings from across the pond.
Great techniques Michelle ! And so enjoyable ! In fact I practised those tips with chidren when I was a teacher !!! During 40 years... I realize, watching your video, that I don't use them enough for my own practice... gonna give it a go TODAY !!! 😃
Oh Michele, these were some really fab techniques! Not a big fan of masking fluid, I just loved the candle wax for the ocean surf! I loved others, too, but the wax on the leaves was just brilliant and so subtle, especially appreciated as I’m a mixed media watercolour artist. I’m going to have to watch this again, as I just know I’ve forgotten some others that would be so useful. Thanks so much for sharing your creative thinking!
Wow! What a great tutorial! I think I like the Dorland Wax technique the best, although the oil pastels are a great technique too. Thanks Michele. I’m so enjoying your tutorial and trying different things.
What a wonderful tutorial. All of them a new in the context of water colour painting. I have used wax (candle) for batiks, but this is wonderful, especially the leaf one for backgrounds. Thank you.

You made me giggle. I have the same feeling. Such a great motivating tutorial. Peace
I have much the same problem... every single night! haha :-)
Wonderful video as usual. Its amusing to hear the pre-tutorial disclaimer get more and more complicated. :) Sign of the times I guess
Ah, yes or I get the same comment a million times!
Yes, I would love to know more about Dorland's wax to preserve your artwork.
I feel I'm going to have to do a video on Dorland's wax again soon :-)
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber Maybe you could tie in using fixative as well, different options to preserve your art.
Thank you for making all the videos. You are so appreciated and loved by all of us learning about watercolors. Bless you!
Thanks so much Debra that's very kind of you!
I would love to see how to apply and preserve paintings please!!
Dorland wax used as a resist- I have never thought of nor used, but I think I will buy some and try it out on various paintings! I love to find new tools. Anytime I find something new to use on my paintings is a good day!
Wonderful!
I've had mixed results with colored pencils. Never tried candlewax but will. LOVED the Dorland's leaves. Many thanks!
You are welcome, Reba!
Thank you for introducing me to techniques other than bottled resist which I have the worst time with. I am forwarding this to my watercolor teacher at our local senior center to show the class. Meanwhile,, I am going to experiment.
I’ve tried many different techniques to make waves. This one is brilliant. Thanks
Great to hear!
Great tips! I never would have thought the wax could ruin a brush. Good to know! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
I was wondering about this. I remember in elementary art class we would draw with crayon and then wash with watercolor. I was thinking about applying wax or vaseline to a watercolor's image and then doing a wash for background effect. I appreciate your examples. They save me my own trial and failures.
I love the Dorlands Wax idea! Can't wait to try it! Thanks for another great video.
Can't pick just one of these I like most. So much info. You just gave me many ideas. TY!
You are so welcome!
