    Do you struggle with how much water to use? TIP: test your paint on a scrap piece of paper to see if you need more water! 🌟 Missed lesson 1? Watch here ► ruclips.net/video/Sj1smvMCvBI/видео.html

    Excellent tutorial, thank you.
    I'm just starting watercolour painting and painting swatches like this is really teaching me about controlling colour, tone, the water, the brush, the pallette, cauliflowers, backruns, dry-lines etc ..... For me, it's learning the fundamentals, like learning musical scales before learning a tune.... Hoping to crack this soon before starting on colour theory, mixing and neutrals.... For me it's all about building experience, technique, and confidence while having lots of fun.

    I have a question - how long does it take for watercolour to dry so you can do the next layer? It looks dry pretty quickly, but I am guessing I should leave an hour or so (or even overnight?)

    @selenahayes6947 4 года назад +3

    Thank you. I'm just starting out. How come you didn't wet your paper before hand? Do you prefer the wet on dry painting?

    • @AllisonLyonArt
      @AllisonLyonArt  4 года назад +3

      Hi Selena! This lesson is to help you understand how much water to mix into paint to get the desired color or consistency. So it’s best to mix the water in your paint instead of wetting your paper first. In my opinion you’ll have better control of your paint if you do it this way for the lesson. I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any other questions ☺️

  • @ilahjarvis
    @ilahjarvis 3 года назад +1

    Excellent demonstration, very clear and I like that you did this with two very different colors. I notice that the Prima sets don't use standard names for their colors. The colors "blueberry" and "lime" looks exactly like phthalo blue and sap green produced by other paint companies. It makes me concerned that beginners who use this set might think that this blue is only available from Prima, when actually they are common colors. Have you used other brands of paint and notice other equivalents under different names?

    • @AllisonLyonArt
      @AllisonLyonArt  3 года назад

      Hi Ilah! Yes I have noticed that some paint colors are very similar or the same across different brands and sets :)

    Wonderful tutorials, teaching me a lot. But had to turn off audio and read the captions. The "little girl" voice just so distracting. I wonder if you talk that way in person and not just making a video. Bah ... had to turn the audio back on because the RUclips captions don't make sense. Okay. I'm back in, I guess.
