I love how instead of focusing on "this is how I do it so it's a Do", you instead presented properties that you can use to your advantage, depending on what style youre going for. Also have you always added this much comedy and quirk in your videos?
I like the way you did it!!! Because its not "do this technique and not this one because its just a stupid look" its more focused on "know what youre working with and what your goal is, using how your tools react and affect things to your advantage"!
русский, Español, français, 日本語, Deutsch? We have subtitles! (this only works on your computer though) Click the gear icon in the lower-right corner of the video. Select "subtitles", then "auto-translation" and choose your language.
Just tested it, Portuguese is definitely available. Make sure you've turned on subtitles first. That's the button left to the gear icon which for me says [CC]. Then, when you click on the gear icon, you should see "Speed", "Subtitles" and "Quality". Click subtitles, then "Auto-Translation" and scroll down to Portoguese. The list is alphabetical so you will have to scroll a bit. Let me know if this helps :) PS: I wish RUclips would make this feature a little easier to find and advertise is properly
A good rule of thumb for people starting out with watercolors, the order of importance in choosing materials is: 1. Paper 2. Brush 3. Paint If you have the opportunity, it's okay to start out with an okay paint, pretty good brush, and the best paper you have access to. Artist paints on flimsy paper will just make you cry
Those little clips thrown in where you’re looking at the memes kind of remind me of those infomercials you see for useless inventions, where the actors are being all overdramatic. That said, this tutorial was pretty useful. Thank you.
This is probably THE only useful "dos and donts" video ive ever watched, and it's very useful to both beginners and experienced artists! Thank you for this
this is amazing, usually artists do these kind of videos so incredibly vaguely that they never really help, but this was so helpful, and i feel like i was learning rather than being lectured at for my mistakes!
please make more watercolor mistakes to avoid! i know most of these already but that's because i've been painting for over a month now and learned a lot through my short journey, the other do's and don'ts of watercolors aren't like this, yours is very in depth and unique and very very important to beginners!
This is one of the best "do's and dont's" in water color I've seen. Explaining the outcome of each "Don't" and showing how to test for yourself makes the information far more useful than "just don't do this." Also using tape to create swatches is genius and I'm mad I haven't thought of it. Also the anime laaovan is adorable and I'd love to see a whole series of this. I'd pay good money for that art tutorial series. You're a natural teacher!
This was very helpful! Thanks! I like that it was more of a presentation of different options and things to know, rather than hard and fast dos and donts.
Oh my goodness i was laughing so much during this video! lmao! So awesomely put together. Thank you so much for making these, I'm extremely new to watercolor and I only got into it because of you! You are my goal and I love your art so much. Keep up the amazing work!
This is a pretty good example of do's and don'ts. I've seen a lot of stylised do's and don'ts which i don't really agree with and a lot of the time i end up liking the 'don'ts' more than the actual do's. These are actual helpful tips more guided to help you use your medium to more effect rather than about style, and that's super helpful. I didn't even know about granulation before this.
Finally a video about watercolor that isn't just a tutorial for people who never painted with watercolor before! Nice job :3 And omg the character is so cute ^.^
Thank you for making this! I normally don't like do and don't videos because they over simplify things. But you are clearly a very experienced watercolor artist and it came across in this video. You explained everything very well and it was super helpful! Thank you!
this is hands down the best video I've ever seen on watercolor technique. I paint with watercolor fairly often but had no idea wth was going on with the granulation. Or that the pigment dictates how erasable a color is. I never see that stuff mentioned. THANK YOU!!!
I really like how you addressed the limitations of those Do's and Don'ts discussions. With that said, this is a very informative video. I prefer watercolour over Acrylic painting, but during school I learned very quickly how difficult to work with it can become.
The thing I like about this channel is that it is informative in a way that actually walks you through intuitively how to do things, whilst be entertaining. Like, the art styles on this channel are incredible and unique, and there is a large side portion of memes?
I can't stop rewatching this. I love the part where u say "making it God dann hard" i just love that. But this helped me greatly and especially the one that helps with the realistic look which is what I was looking for
Everything in this video is art, all your art is beautiful even if it's a don't, the animations give more personality, especially the monotone face palm moments and the tutorial is super helpful! I think I've learnt more than what my old art teacher has thought me.
Thank you for these very helpful tips. I am a beginner to watercolor and I have watched many how-to videos and Do and Don'ts. Your video gave me more information on the different paints and how they work. Also paper information on the reasons why they are different. What I appreciated the most is that you give the whys something is the way it is and how to use it.
Really liked this way of doing a “dos and donts” I’m someone who likes to use the effects of using a medium “wrong” and so often these videos bug me. However, this one just felt infomative
Ich hab keine Ahnung wieso, aber deine Stimme und deine Art beruhigen mich total. Mir geht's momentan wirklich nicht gut und ich fühle mich gerade viel entspannter nach dem Video. Vielleicht nicht das, was das Video eigentlich bewirken sollte, aber trotzdem danke.
+Drawinglikeasir haha jaa, das Video sollte etwas unterhaltsamer sein um den Frust auszugleichen den man hatte es zu machen xD aber so hats auch Spaß gemacht :D
Omg meine deutschen lieblings artists auf einem Fleck? Und sie kennen sich?! Holy mein Traum wird war!! (๑♡∀♡๑)💕 Ich sehe eure Stände schon nebeneinander auf der nächsten con! (´ ▽`).。o♡
Wowowow ich muss dir jetzt mal ein riesiges Lob aussprechen! Ich bin echt kein Fan dieser "Dos" & "Donts", aber dein Video war so krass informativ! Nicht wie die anderwn oberflächlich, ich hab so viel neues gelernt. Danke!
This video actually helped me. I love watercolor, but sometimes I find it so hard to use. Thank you so much for uploading this. I love your work, by the way!
This was wonderful, thank you. :) Your work is a great inspiration and reference for me, and although I'd figured out a few of these by myself already, it's always nice to solidify things. I'd love more of these! Have a nice week, Laovan!
I don't usually like the Do's- and Don't's type of videos, because art is subjective and blah blah but this was really insightful and useful!! I definitely learned stuff. Thank you!
I like the new style of these videos!! And also, I think this video was really helpful!! I love watercolors but sometimes it's really frustrating and I think these tips will definitely help!
Thank you SO much for all your tips and tricks! I've started applying your techniques to my paintings, and everything is so much EASIER! Bless you, sir. ❤️
Thank you so much for this. I'm currently in AP Art and after being introduced to watercolor only last year, I've taken a liking to it. I've basically taught myself through trial and error, so I tend to still make many mistakes. I've been stressed out over perfecting my skill and this was the perfect video to help me.
5:34 "Don't start stroking without a tissue nearby"

This video is a holy Gift from the watercolor god T^T
KZoomii _ Well, isn’t he the watercolor god himself ?
Love the anime character
That thing is annoying and not needed
@@terrythomas790 most people don't think that
@@tori4770 Thats ok. I do, Its actually stupid. What does that have to do with watercolors??
@@terrythomas790 chill dude..
The thing is, people like avatars. That's all there is to it.
Redstone
Seinsei laovaan is my fave laovaan
Minoesch Preusterink whoa I have the same profile pic on another acccount. You have good tastes. We know what to look for in screenshots
otaku sensei ^_^
Loving the sound effects when Laovaan said 'Foreveeeer' ..... foreshadowing of doom is strong! gave me goosebumps. :D
Pixie Mixieheart He can make you feel like: Hold my brush, it's about to go down.
Watercolor tips, memes, an anime laovaan and a beautiful irl laovaan... This video is everything I ever wanted
Ur avatar is cute as hell, I can't take it
Yeah🥺

I swear i had this as my "real name" on DeviantArt in the exact same font
I’m glad you posted this because I got into watercolor recently, and was looking for helpful videos literally yesterday
this is amazing, usually artists do these kind of videos so incredibly vaguely that they never really help, but this was so helpful, and i feel like i was learning rather than being lectured at for my mistakes!
I already watched this but I’m rewatching because I find that little animation oc absolutely incredibly adorable
please make more watercolor mistakes to avoid! i know most of these already but that's because i've been painting for over a month now and learned a lot through my short journey, the other do's and don'ts of watercolors aren't like this, yours is very in depth and unique and very very important to beginners!
I really enjoyed hearing you talk about the paper the most.
I adore the new editing, it adds a personal touch that made me smile

This is soooo helpful! Thank you very much once more!! Your explanations are always very clear and objective :D ☆ (btw you're still too handsome bye~)
literally the best do and donts watercolor video ive seen on the internet, thanks laovaan!
I have always struggled with watercolor, this Vid really helps :)
I love your accent so much i usually don’t listen to many voiceover art videos but your voice makes it so engaging
Thank you for making this! I normally don't like do and don't videos because they over simplify things. But you are clearly a very experienced watercolor artist and it came across in this video. You explained everything very well and it was super helpful! Thank you!

Best video about watercolor tips I ever watch (and I have seen many of them).
Dude! These are some great, really useful tips! Thank you!
Also, your little semi-animated avatar is the bomb, I love him
Die animation ist ja Mal sowas von niedlich 😻
These were some of the best tips I've found online. Very clear and straight forward. Very good video!
I really like how you addressed the limitations of those Do's and Don'ts discussions. With that said, this is a very informative video. I prefer watercolour over Acrylic painting, but during school I learned very quickly how difficult to work with it can become.
Bestes "Do's and Dont's" Video dass ich bis jetzt gesehen habe. Ich liebe es wie du deine Art in das Video eingebracht hast :3
YOUR PAINTINGS ARE GORGEOUS 😭😭😭
your video editing skills are getting so much better and more FUN!!!!
Never has a watercolor video been more useful!
The thing I like about this channel is that it is informative in a way that actually walks you through intuitively how to do things, whilst be entertaining. Like, the art styles on this channel are incredible and unique, and there is a large side portion of memes?
I've been relatively experienced in watercolor but those properties at the beginning were really helpful to know. Thanks for the awesome video!
I can't stop rewatching this. I love the part where u say "making it God dann hard" i just love that. But this helped me greatly and especially the one that helps with the realistic look which is what I was looking for

Everytime you sit down to look at your sketchbook and cry afterwards, it really hits home.
Your watercolours are so beautiful. I find it very moving to look at them.
Thank you for these very helpful tips. I am a beginner to watercolor and I have watched many how-to videos and Do and Don'ts. Your video gave me more information on the different paints and how they work. Also paper information on the reasons why they are different. What I appreciated the most is that you give the whys something is the way it is and how to use it.

"Don't start stroking without a tissue nearby" LOLOLOL
Great video, very fun to watch 👍🏻 I’d say dos and donts are quite effective for grabbing attention, structuring advice, and being constructive.
Ich hab keine Ahnung wieso, aber deine Stimme und deine Art beruhigen mich total. Mir geht's momentan wirklich nicht gut und ich fühle mich gerade viel entspannter nach dem Video. Vielleicht nicht das, was das Video eigentlich bewirken sollte, aber trotzdem danke.
this video was so useful!! and i loved your characters animation throughout it!!
I really appreciate the information about the graininess of different brands of paint. Never thought of that! Great tip, very helpful.👍
Master, from your mouth it all sounds so simple. But I know how hard it is. Your lessons will not be forgotten. I have to try too!
Can you make a detailed video on which tools you use,
Thank you, Loavaan
You are so talented and your voice is so calming. This channel is my new favorite thing
Very nice basics tutorial! Also I loved the kakariko village painting
This is a work of art in itself
Thank you!! These were especially helpful, specifically the tips on painting skin.
This was very helpful and pleasant to watch. You covered some points that other videos didn't, at least those that I've watched.
Die art wie du zeichnest mit aquarell haut mich immer wieder aus den socken. Respekt
Ich warte nur ab wieviele Sekunden es dauert, bis in deinen Videos das erste Meme vorkommt :'D
+Drawinglikeasir haha jaa, das Video sollte etwas unterhaltsamer sein um den Frust auszugleichen den man hatte es zu machen xD aber so hats auch Spaß gemacht :D
Omg meine deutschen lieblings artists auf einem Fleck? Und sie kennen sich?! Holy mein Traum wird war!!
(๑♡∀♡๑)💕 Ich sehe eure Stände schon nebeneinander auf der nächsten con! (´ ▽`).。o♡
Haha, das wäre lustig!
omg what language is that? i like it
+my name does not matter It's german ^^
Dat ''forever'' part. It describes it well. I would say to well.
This was incredibly helpful! Thank you so much, Laovaan!!
I'm in love with your work! Seriously!
Laovaan, this video was phenomenal!! 💜
These tips are fantastic! I wish my teacher had taught this in art class. I wouldn't have been so frustrated when trying to use watercolors!
Cute video! Very helpful! I like how you give tips to certain mistakes! Thank you!
excellent information...... specially the concept granulated paint pigments.... I had no idea
Wowowow ich muss dir jetzt mal ein riesiges Lob aussprechen! Ich bin echt kein Fan dieser "Dos" & "Donts", aber dein Video war so krass informativ! Nicht wie die anderwn oberflächlich, ich hab so viel neues gelernt. Danke!

The animated version of you is great, love it. 😁 Also, great tips as well.
This was wonderful, thank you. :) Your work is a great inspiration and reference for me, and although I'd figured out a few of these by myself already, it's always nice to solidify things. I'd love more of these! Have a nice week, Laovan!
OMGTHIS VIDEO IS SO GREAT AND SO USEFULL!!!! So much work put into it!
This was really helpful. Thank you so much! Can’t wait for your next video
Thanks a lot for explaining the differences of paper! I was struggling because sometimes I want quite smooth paper but I didn‘t know what to look for.
Wow, this is the most amazing tutorial I’ve ever seen. You are AMAZING! Thank YOU 🙏
This is the first top 5 mistakes in watercolor i find really useful :O thank you for sharing!
I have watched several of your videos ...they have really helped me with getting smooth beautiful skin tones. Thank you so much for that!!
Great video! I love the format and the small jokes on it. Keeping it at my favorites.
Tolles Video mit guten Tipps für Anfänger und Wiedereinsteiger.
I don't usually like the Do's- and Don't's type of videos, because art is subjective and blah blah but this was really insightful and useful!! I definitely learned stuff. Thank you!
Absolutely adorable!!!
I like the new style of these videos!! And also, I think this video was really helpful!! I love watercolors but sometimes it's really frustrating and I think these tips will definitely help!
I love your new editing style!
Hi Laovaan, dieses Video ist so hilfreich vielen Dank! Dein Artbook ist bei mir schon angekommen, wirklich wunderschön!!!

I love this format 😻 great tips and nice presentation 👍
Thank you SO much for all your tips and tricks! I've started applying your techniques to my paintings, and everything is so much EASIER! Bless you, sir. ❤️
This was awesome and very informative. Helpful indeed.
The way you explain things are nice and simple
great movie! good tips but also it's a pleasure to watch because of how it's prepared
