Make wet on wet watercolor easier - using a spray bottle
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- The beauty of watercolor lies in wet on to wet. But in order to achieve wet on wet, the paper needs to be moist. And if you are like me, you probably feel frustrated sometimes because your wash dries too soon. So what do we do? Today I want to introduce you to my new best friend, the spray bottle.
p.s - sorry for the choppy video during the demo. There were some errors during the recording.

There so many things to like about Eric, he’s a great instructor, his voice is so calming and he has the cutest face! And great artwork too!
Perfectly said 👏
Looks so easy but I KNOW IT’S very difficult. You make it look so easy, but you’re a professional painter. Thank you for sharing your talent and tips. ❤❤❤
That sky is so beautiful Eric! The spray bottle is a painters “must have” !😊
OHHHH THAT's how you use a spray bottle. Thanks for the fabulous lesson and demo!
I like the tip on knowing when to stop. Thank you
Sometimes simple tools can make such a difference. Thanks for sharing these tips.
Fabulous! I knew this was a familiar scene and hearing you say you were in Seattle made sense! I grew up near Tacoma and moved to Portland in 1972. there is something about the light... and those Douglas firs there makes me happy. We're much hotter down here, so keeping the paper wet is a challenge, especially in the summer. I have a piece of plexiglass that I've often used, laying my soaked paper on it and lifting it and spraying the backside as i go keeps it damp longer! Keep painting!
Five minutes! How helpful is that! Thank you! "You need to know when to stop." I seem to over do every painting!
Thank you for sharing how to use spray bottle❤ I love the sky so powerful ❤
Thank you so much for showing your reference photo. It helps me to see how you interpret your colors and forms
What a beautiful sky! Thanks for this helpful demonstration.
Gorgeous sky and painting 😍 Thank you for the tips 🙏
Very helpful, informational, and inspiring, Eric. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, experience, and expertise.
Beautiful clouds! I'm grateful for your love of the rainy, cloudy, dramatic, skies in my home town, Seattle. I now live on the BC coast which also very spectacular for a plethora of clouds and light. ,💗🌧️💗🌧️☺️
I find you the most helpful watercolour artist. Regards fromScotland🏴👌🏻
Thank you, Eric Yi Lin, for a helpful and interesting tutorial. Your cloudscape is gorgeous!
You thoroughly explain every single detail. Super helpful. And your paintings are beautiful and inspirational. Thanks
I also use a spray bottle whenever i need a fast lay of water on the paper, and sometimes also spray my palette (ceramic plate with some leftover mixes) a little if i want to reuse some colors
Thank You, this was a real good video that can make my paintings getting better, by knowing what to do and When!
Thank you for the demonstration! I'll definitely have to give this a shot
Thanks for sharing your expertise. I love your style of painting and of beeing.
Greetings from France 🇫🇷
In addition to increasing wet paper time I also use the fine spray to move paint for making rain showers and foggy shorelines. 💗🦋💗
Wonderful sky, Eric 👏👏
Such a helpful hint! Thank you!
Great instruction
Beautiful philosophy
And painting
Enjoy learning from a teacher & fellow painter who is patient & easy to listen to. 👍
Thank you. You’re very informative and patient. Good teaching skills!
just the tip i need. i will definitely experiment with using the spray bottle more. thank you!
Thanks again, Eric. You are a great painter and very patient teacher. It is a pleasure learning from you and i really appreciate you taking the time to share your expertise.
Thanks for the sharing your experiences to us I really enjoyed learning about you
I am enjoying your videos and commentary… love seeing your journey …Philip
Such a beautiful painting.
Love this landscape piece. Your spray bottle idea is awesome! Thank you for sharing, Eric!
Yuuuup I’ve been storing my hand spray bottle for watercolour
The spray bottle allows for beautiful effects.
Definitely agree about using from 10 inches away, Tom Lynch has some great tips too
Hi...Saunders paper take 45 minutes to dry, Arches 30 and cheap paper dry fast. So quality of paper also matters. Continue your excelent work Eric.
I love the painting! Thank you for the lesson.
You are the best artist also the the best teacher ❤️
Great video. I like the explanation of a "fine mist" spray bottle and will search my house for one of these, or go buy one. A good tip here.
I love big stormy sky’s. Your tutorial is very helpful 👍🏻
Thank u Eric for another inspiring wet on wet sharing. Yes the mist spray will surely allow us slow coaches more time before we get clauliflowers all over the place. I m learning a lot from your sharing. Thank u so much.
rthe sky is so much amazing... i like your video
Thank you Eric great tip, beautiful painting.
Love your paintings and sharing! Never disappointing us!
You can also can wake up your color with the spray. Useful.
Today I'm going to do it. Gracias from PV
Hi Eric. thank you for your videos that are so didactics !! thank you so much. You're a good teacher and a good painter too.
Amazing tip and clouds painting! ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you!
Very helpful. thank you.
It's really amazing, I Absolutely love it!!! Thank you for sharing. 👀👀👀
Thanks! Usefull information about spray bottle use in watercolors. 👍
I love your work and how you describe your process 🖤
The dollar store eye glass cleaner is perfect and cheap. Dump the cleaner and wash the bottle. Makes a fine spray.
Beautiful beautiful thank you.
love this painting, thanks for the tutorial
Your channel is really serious and very professional. It is a very good watercolor channel. Although I have watched your channel for many years, I still have to say something to you.
I love your videos, and yes you have such a satisfying calm approach which is so enjoyable but I do have a question. So you ever use watercolour pencils?
Beautiful
Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah awesome speech
Beautiful! Thank you!😍
Thank-you so much... I needed this class :).
Beautiful...Thank you..
Like your liquidity in transition from color to color. Would like some names of colors used.
Beautiful 💜
Instead of paying $10.00 for spray bottles on Amazon, try a dollar store. They usually have small containers for shampoo and conditioner and a spray bottle for a buck or two. You can also get the kits for more money at Walmart. Thanks for another great lesson! Have a fantastic day!
Ok you got it
原来老师每次都是录两遍视频嘛~一遍中文一遍英文~~~~辛苦老师啦
哈哈是的
Sorry...floor office rug. My studio has had hardwood floors in every house i have lived in. Therefore I have stayed away from spray. Now i am beginning to think that i have been working to hard at keeping my paper wet. Thank you for in-depth analysis of benifits....
Eric! Will you make a video on food watercolor illustration?
1:36 provides a hilarious visual of what the paper might have seen as l prepared to water-bomb it. With that in mind, l shall never repeat that mistake. 🤣
Where did you get your palette and watercolour set. I cant find it here in London. Thank you for the lovely painting. So beautiful.
Beautiful..
it will be helpful if you can inform the colour name when you put it on the pallet
Great video, good instruction, thank you! What grade of watercolor paper are you using?
Thanks
Do you have a video showing how to spray with the lil mist bottle?
I’ve heard to do not straight at the paper but sideways from the edge & maybe I missed it but never saw you mist it so not sure as a beginner how get best results?
Help, not sure why I'm missing the spray bottle technique here. I've watched it twice all the way through and don't do not see a spray bottle being used. Thanks for any tips!
I think the smaller bottles have a finer mist.
Superb!! You make it look easy - haha! It isn’t. ❤️👍
Thankyou!
You can buy a metal atomizer that you pump up and it sprays a fine mist, like a fog.
So honest
beautiful :o)
I find the best time to spray is around 3.27pm.
💞
I don't know if you have any videos on this already, but I was wondering if there's advice for darker watercolor paintings? I tend to overwork my paper a lot since I'm working light to dark and dark colors take up most of my page. When I reduce my layers, I don't always get the results I want.
I'll probably do a night scene soon, if I can pull it off :)
@@Cafewatercolor I look forward to it.
I'd be interested in darkest watercolor scenes too :)
After watching you and Liron ( from Israel) , i have decided I need a floor
😍😍
İ am always frustrated and stressed when someone uses the inces or feet or foot or that measurement that i dont understand. İ must always ask google how many centimetre 10 inces is. Why arent you using the metric system… whyyyy
Grazie maestro Please give me the mark of colors giù are using
Thanks
I used it before many times but I was not comfortable with it
Nice job as always :)
A question: how do you get the greyish mixture on the top right corner of your palette ( 4:00 ) ? a kind of blue and raw sienna it seems ..?
cobalt blue with burnt umber and I might've added a bit of neutral tint
@@Cafewatercolor thank you :)
I live in Canada and its very dry in the wintertime. I wonder if this affects anything because my washes seem to dry up super fast.
There are multiple factors, weather humidity, ,temperature, also the paper you use and the paint you use.
LOL - so covid has come to this - befriending spray bottles
Eric, you speak clear and wonderful English, but if you turn on the English translation, you will be laughing for days about what it thinks you said!
I can only imagine 😅
OMG I thought I was cheating using my spray bottle. I’m such a slow poke.
My philosophy in art is there is no cheating. If it works, it works.
@@thescarecrowman I like the way you think
🕊🇺🇲💕
I can say you are cute because I'm 73 years old. I enjoy your videos. If I were 23, I would flirt with you.
Another tool is a credit card to lift out in a dark wash… timing is important…
