My music teacher used to always say that perfect practice makes almost perfect*. (*it used to just be perfect but are class told him to change it because nothing is perfect. we were a very nit picky class)
I know you feel like a butt saying that people should try higher quality paints, but I think it's important to point it out. Especially with watercolors. When I first started with watercolors, I started with cheap brands. When I couldn't achieve any of the beautiful effects that I saw others making, I thought I was doing something wrong. Luckily, I had someone point out that it might be the paints themselves. I decided to give them one last try and splurged on a small professional set. The difference was shocking! I didn't become an amazing artist overnight, but there was definitely a huge change. I could finally do smooth washes and gradients, blooms where I wanted them, and layering without all the colors becoming brown. Watercolors were FUN again. And I am so grateful to that person who told me to get better paints.
Spending money on a risk is the HARDEST pill to swallow, but sometimes it really makes all the difference and can even change your experience! I needed to hear this, thank you~
yes! for a really long time i only used the cheap watercolors my art teacher supplied the class and absolutely hated them, but i got winsor & newton watercolors from a sketchbox and absolutely loved them!
That reminds me of my art teacher! Sometimes he accidentally dips his paint brush into his coffee cup when he's painting (with coffee in it, of course!(and keeps drinking it because it's nontoxic paint we're using.)) Edit: he knew there was paint in his coffee, he just didn't care.
One time, I was using water color and I had my paint water right beside my drink. I didn’t remember which cup was which since my drink and the paint water were in the same exact kind of cup. I grabbed the paint water cup and took a big sip of it. When I realized it was my paint water, I started panicking and I ran to the sink to spit it out. My tongue was all different types of colors after having that in my mouth for as long as I did Moral of the story: don’t put your paint water and your drink in the same type of cup right beside each other so you don’t end up like me 😪
Yep, I use an old bolognaise jar for my paint water, and even then I sometimes have to pause if I have my mug over on that side, too, so that I dodn't try and wash my brushes in my drink more than accidentally drinking paint water. It doesn't help when that's the only place you can put them to have both within arm's reach
2:17 I feel like that should have been obvious to me, but I never thought about or realized that was why my watercolours always spread like crazy where I don't want them to go XD I learn somethin in every vid you make!
The birds you draw actually really inspired me. Now I draw them in my own style and all of my friends love them. Of course I said I was inspired by you 😆
bless you kasey 🙏 i started trying out watercolours less than a week ago, so this is perfectly timed lmao. you're actually the main reason i wanted to try watercolours in the first place, you make it look so much easier than it is haha
*another bonus!* do not set your *drink* next to your watercolor station! *you WILL accidentally drop your dirty paintbrush in that drink while your working*
I have another question about your art. How do you make your characters seem so alive? They always have fun expressions even if their design is super simple. Any tips on that, besides practice, practice, practice?
heyitslarib really just draw little cute faces what ever comes to mind little blobs, circles, squares any shape just doodle a bit and make everything bright and vibrant!
heyitslarib am not that good at drawing and am seven months late but the pose of the character can make or break it for example having a character stand still will make it seem stiff and in natural but giving him like a pose as if he is doing something may help something else drawing the character look straight at the camera may make it seem unnatural so that too
This is really late, but look into "line of action" and try gesture drawing. I wont explain it, but I have found really great tutorials by MissKerrieJ. Look up her youtube, she's a really great artist. Hope this helps (even if its really late XD)
You don't actually need a waterproof pen. All you need to do is draw with a pencil, paint it THEN draw over the pencil with any black pen🤷♀️ it works for me
remember guys! higher quality doesnt always mean more expenisve!! for example: crayola and roseart are about the same price as artists loft but are so much better, its always okay to test different materials to see which ones work well for you! even the most expensive brands might not work for everyone! this was a great video and really helpful btw :)) never thought to use a hairdryer for watercolor, i always use it for my acrylics
love those little characters on the demo sheets! extra tips for layering: use a soft brush with barely there (light) strokes, also, layers work best when the previous wash is light and when it comes to watercolor to water ratio, I find that reaching a consistency similar to skim milk is a standard that works really well for me, the pigment is there with a wash that flows nicely, and I adjust from there hope this helps!
Bleeding is a word used to describe watercolors when they go where they arent supposed to. She used blending in that portion of the video, too, so I get the confusion
I've never been great at art, but I decided to give watercolor painting a try after I got a watercolor set as a gift. These tips helped me to not suck as much on my first try as I might have. Thanks for that.
They are nice, but they are just student quality and way to expensive outside the Japan - actually their real price is less than dollar for one color if u buy a single pan. They are a bit glossy, especially if u put a lot of layers. If you want to try them you should buy a gem set or pearl set, because it's hard to find this effect with different watercolors.
I have them and they're AMAZING! They 're not chalky, you don't have to add a lot of water for them to activate and the colors are very vivid. I have the 36 set and when im done with them, im definently going to buy them again. Hope this was helpful! ^^
I really need help!! I took an advanced art class in my 9th grade year, and we had regular, thin papered sketchbooks as a sort of art journal. On one of our daily projects, we sketched a face then made it cry watercolor. After we made the sketch, we sprayed it with something, something that made the cheap thin paper, into non-wrinkling, non absorbing, paper. I have spent the past two years wondering what the heck that spray was!! My teacher doesnt remember and neither do I! Please help!
I think this is what you mean: In Germany you can buy "Fixierspray" in any art store. It protects paintings against uv light and prevents smudging sealing it completely. The German brand Schmincke sells it worldwide I think(not sure). Just google Fixierspray/Fixativ from Schmincke.
soap, water, and furiously scrubbing with your finger (in terms of watercolor) a water soak, soap, and maybe abrasiveness for acrylic and i've never worked with oil soO i wouldn't know
I'm glad I found this ;w; I'm going to watercolor classes and it's true about the first layer erasing when adding the second layer, thanks for the tips!!
I probably spent too much time re-watching videos, but I have to say re-watching your videos is fun, enjoyable, entertaining! Hope you’re having a good day Kasey, see you soon.
Thanks for the watercolor tips! They are all quite helpful and I will share them with my grandkids! They and I have been painting with watercolor. They really love it!!!
That last tip reminds me of this adorable set of mugs I saw! One says "paint water" on it, the other says "not paint water" so you know which one not to drink haha. I mostly use digital and colored pencil art, but I still kinda want that pair of mugs.
I’ve only got the chalky colors (part of a big ol’ art set), but I’ve amassed a collection (all from art sets)... the watercolors & pastels are those forever-untouched supply. Enter the inspirational water colorist extraordinaire Kasey Golden and now I’m hankering to dust off those long-neglected water color relics in an attempt to be constructively creative! ::thumbs up:: “Thanks, Kasey!! 😁”
tbh these were really helpful and the examples of what to do and what NOT to do are really good bcuz it acknowledges mistakes and shows what they look like
Another tip from me! If you for some reason want your paint to dry slower, add glycerine. It's really cheap and I use it pretty often. However, you should figure out how much to add, I often use too much and then I have to leave an unfinished painting to dry overnight. 🙄
I got a set of watercolour pencils thinking they were just regular coloured pencils, so I've been looking up how to use them and I've just gotta say I love you art style, it's amazing
Im just watching this so i wont messed up at school and so my art dont look like trash :/ But hey! i really love art! i draw like everyday but i never use watercolor .-. Welp, tomorrow is my first time using it :3 Hope i liked it and get used to it and maybe i could create art with watercolors :D
I colour first because everybody thinks that the sketch is always better than the lineart and I want to satisfy myself by colouring first and then I lineart so it’s easier and clearer to detail and more satisfying 😊 but it depends on how I’m feeling. Thanks Kasey for the tips, they helped a lot but it really depends on what results you wanna get and opinions

Water your watercolors -Kasey Golden Me: Grabs watering can Mom: What are you doing Me: Watering my watercolors Mom: Why? Me: Kasey golden said to Everyone: Slowly backs away from me
i actually want to start water color because of your videos at first i thought that water color wasnt a good type of material to use when drawing but seeing the art that you make is really good using this type of stuff so I m probably go to beg my mom to go to walmart or target thank you kasey
I’ve grown a habit of doing small sketches while I wait for the watercolour to dry, since I can’t keep my hands still for literally more than 0.1 seconds
I tend to just use gouache colours because that's what I learned to paint with and I've always found watercolours really difficult to handle, but now I'm starting to think about experimenting with different art supplies so maybe I should try watercolours again. Thanks for the tips!
Thank you so much. I love watercolor but i needed advice. This video is for me! Especially the first tip (black pen test) and the 8 (how to layer). Thank you!
I know this video is old but I found a cool watercolor material that I use alot! They're calles watercolor creams, I'm not sure if they'll be there for you but I got mine at Wal-Mart! What I recommend doing while using these is too apply the colors/ creams to a different sheet of paper and pick up the color with a wet brush. It looks really nice!

Let your imaganation run wild
I usually start with the base, and my base would always start off with soft shapes.
This is really late, but look into "line of action" and try gesture drawing. I wont explain it, but I have found really great tutorials by MissKerrieJ. Look up her youtube, she's a really great artist. Hope this helps (even if its really late XD)
You don't actually need a waterproof pen. All you need to do is draw with a pencil, paint it THEN draw over the pencil with any black pen🤷♀️ it works for me

I also just use a can of fixative.
Pretty sure she went over that in this video...
*its a choice*
I'm a year late but some people have messy sketches. The watercolour seals it meaning you can't erase the pencil anymore.

It’s thanks to you I got brave enough to really go for this medium thanks
“do not drink your paint water”
gawx: 😳
This is so helpful since ive got a brand new Japanese full water colour set and i wanted to start painting again
I’ve grown a habit of doing small sketches while I wait for the watercolour to dry, since I can’t keep my hands still for literally more than 0.1 seconds
Literally I just bought a watercolor set and this helped me a lot! Thanks Kasey!
Early fiiiiinnnnaaaaallllllyyyy going to school now 😭😭😭
Ohh really ? We go back to school on Wednesday
Wow I got back on the 22nd ha
I go back tomorrow
Lol
I Get back on the 22nd not I got back already woops xd
I tend to just use gouache colours because that's what I learned to paint with and I've always found watercolours really difficult to handle, but now I'm starting to think about experimenting with different art supplies so maybe I should try watercolours again. Thanks for the tips!
My cat always jumps on the table to drink my dirty water. Nerver the clean one, always the DIRTY water 😅 Cats, uh?
me too 😂😂
I have been trying to get into watercolor lately and the videos on the watercolor tips are SO helpful!
I once wanted my watercolour drawing to dry faster so I held it under my desk lamp... I almost set it on fire.
Thank you so much. I love watercolor but i needed advice. This video is for me! Especially the first tip (black pen test) and the 8 (how to layer). Thank you!
My teacher says practice makes bEtTEr like ok I get that no one is perfect but like wth better 😂😂
This makes me want to try watercolors
Some guys in my class took paint water, call it "tea" and bring it to me...
Lucky, I saw them paint before (I wonder how it will taste??)
Girl this vid taught me more about watercolour paints than all 3 of my high school art classes. I actually feel like I understand the damn things now
Can you do a tutorial on your artstyle
True
I know this video is old but I found a cool watercolor material that I use alot!
They're calles watercolor creams, I'm not sure if they'll be there for you but I got mine at Wal-Mart!
What I recommend doing while using these is too apply the colors/ creams to a different sheet of paper and pick up the color with a wet brush. It looks really nice!
"Waiting longer than you think it will"
[waits 1 year]
Yay it dried :D
Welp it would be dry now
Yeah
This make ur art more sense, when i try doing a fan art or try ur prompts ITS SO FRICKIN HARD😂👌🏻👍🏻
I made the mistake of having drinking water and watercolor water in similar looking cups right next to each other.... watercolor taste kinda sour😖
