I think a fish shape would lend itself to this great technique! Maybe a whole school of them! Have you ever tried adding mica powder to watercolor paint? I had the idea last night & will probably try it today. Exciting stuff 😄.
@@dianeb95 ooooh yes, fish!!! Good idea!
@@rachelparkervarner I also just found a YT video by Laura Horn who swatched Daniel Smith’s iridescent watercolors, which I didn’t know existed, & she mentioned they have mica powder in them! So that answers my question 😊. Experiments to begin shortly 😄.
I love the experiments you do. And the wonderful results of some of them are truly inspiring. I loved your puffins the most. Can't wait to try this new technique. Thank you so much! 🙏❤️
It's fun to play with and it comes out differently each time!
Wonderful!!! Love the looseness of your style. Do you use fresh paint every painting session?
@@carolratcliff no I usually squeeze paint into the wells on the palette, let it dry, then reactivate it as needed.
THAT is the beauty of watercolor right there. I don’t know who told you not to combine many colors??
I love how you play like Georgia.
If you have studied color theory and understand it, you will know what colors to use and won’t get mud. Also if you don’t MIX or OVERMIX the colors many times you can use contrasting without getting unwanted colors. They just pop.
Also different brands of paints have different attributes. Holbien is known for not flowing. If you want the body to stay more a body on the butterflies try using Holbien.
@@christinetrappenfortes7761 thank you so much for commenting and I hope to hear from you again! You know your stuff!
Also, that's the funny thing, according to color theory you would think I would get mud, because I put blue, then red, then yellow then green - every primary color combined SHOULD make mud but not in this magical butterfly. In other paintings trying to duplicate this it SOMETIMES did!
It’s awesome that you are so adventurous in your work. Too many times I’ve held back because I didn’t want to “waste my time” and or paper. How will we ever grow if we don’t take chances and experiment?! When you were working on the cat it seemed like you were simply mixing your own custom black on the paper instead of your palette. I’ve been trying to remember to do that most of the time and have had some really cool effects. It seems to mostly depend on which pigments and paints I use. I do use a lot of QOR paints that diffuse wonderfully. Interesting that the hot press paper works so well for you. I have better luck with rough or cold press- I wonder why?
@@dianes326 what works for one artist may not for another! I don't paint with qor paints and they have a unique formula that makes them highly diffusing, so they are probably great for this technique
@@rachelparkervarner so true! I have learned so much from you - Thank you for all the work you put into these videos to help us learn! I really appreciate it!
J’aime beaucoup, vous avez drôlement évolué dans vos aquarelles❤ !!👏
Thank you so much!
Love the granulation you're achieving!!!
Thank you! I've been going down this rabbit hole all week!
Thank you for this great vídeo! 💗💗
You are so welcome!
So gorgeous! I think I need some new paints!
Thank you! I do love my palette of colors I use, but that's not to say the colors you already have are just as good!
Holbein's Peacock Blue formulation is now PB15 and also PG7, it was one of my first artist grade paints that I ever bought. It's stunning, but I'm also curious about PB17. I'm tempted to buy the Rockwell one but I don't... I don't NEED more paint. Right?
I love this technique and, as I often do after your videos, I feel very inspired. Love those puffins!
You don't need pb17 imo. Shipping from Canada is expensive!@@amberzartwork1466 yeah
@@rachelparkervarner I live in Canada.. haha
Lucky you haha!@@amberzartwork1466 lucky
@@amberzartwork1466 So yeah you actually do NEED it haha!
Ohh my yes you have indeed inspired me to try this as Opals are my favorite too, actually my birthstone. I love 💕 how these have turned out. Oh & thanks for sharing the tip about French Ultramarine as the darker color. I have been using both the Cerulean Blue & Cobalt Blue like you mentioned but I have been struggling with finding a good color for the darker shades. I have got to buy some French Ultramarine. 😉I have never tried it but wanted to. Now I have a good reason 😂 to buy it! Thanks again for the suggestion & great video!
I almost never say this about buying new paint colors but there is no way I can live without ultramarine. Phthalo Blue makes dark mixes but I hate it for most painting because it's so staining.
@@rachelparkervarner That’s what I’m experiencing with Phthalo Blue now. I have Ultramarine but not French Ultramarine. I have been curious to know & see what is the difference.
@@colleenmcchesney1482 I LOVE ultramarine - it granulates with everything it mixes with, makes rich darks in mixes and is perfect for my technique with involves a lot of fixing, scrubbing and lifting because it's not nearly as staining as Phthalo. Once you put phthalo blue in your painting, you're pretty much stuck with it. Not so with ultramarine.
I can't live without Ultramarine - but whenever I decide to give Phthalo another chance, it takes over the painting, or my palette, or my clumsy self unknowingly puts a finger in it then I touch something and then that something is forever stained. I'm just too clumsy for it. BUT, it makes AMAZING cauliflowers and salt effects so I always pull it out in the winter when I'm trying to paint cool snow effects.
Love the birds!
Thank you! They come out SO differently each time I paint them!
Holbein doesn't use PB17 in it's paints anymore. You can get it in Paul Rubens Peacock Blue as part of at least some of their sets. I have gen 4 and it's PB17 in there from looking at the info that came with it.
@@jc1865 that's right, but back in the day their peacock blue was pb17. Now it's PB15
@@rachelparkervarner - I kinda feel like when I find a great lightfast color I should buy extra.....
@@jc1865 Yes, you never know when they will discontinue a great color. It is so sad that Holbein no longer uses PB17.
