      That's why I always do two or three paintings at once when I'm using watercolors! While I'm waiting for one picture to dry, I can keep working on the other.

    I've seen beginners draw flowers and painting them with watercolor and something that they always do is painting the petals in order and for obvious reasons it will bleed because the petals are together and they won't let it dry, what I do is that I paint a petal, skip one, paint the next, wait for it to dry, continue.

    I would like to give a tip to those who are beginning :). Always have 2 cups or jars of water, 1 cup as the dirty water and the 2nd the clean water. You should always do this because then it will become a bad habit of using the same dirty cup and having some of the old color on your new color that you don't want :)

  • @louisekhategarcia5617
    @louisekhategarcia5617 2 года назад +1

    I'm still a newbie and I've experienced all that have been said in the vid. one more important info is to use appropriate paper when doing watercolor. another one is always prepare a tissue cause watercolor can dry up quickly so when you did have a mistake you can use the tissue immediately to remove certain stains or mistake while still wet. another tip if you think the watercolor paint on your brush is too much for the part you chose to paint you can dip the tip of the brush in a tissue but not too long.

    My art teacher taught us a trick to not get the water color in spots you don’t want. She said to put crayon on the outline or something then paint. The wax doesn’t mix with the paint, so it’s a pretty cool trick!

    Thanks so much for this video! can I ask you something ? i've been using watercolor lately but it keeps doing rings(/aureoles) and even if i blend it it stays horrible, how can i avoid doing rings ?

    • @MrOtterArtStudio
      @MrOtterArtStudio  7 лет назад +10

      It is hard to say without seeing the rings, are they white? That might be drops of water creating them. Is it a solid area or an area with lights and darks?

    • @MrOtterArtStudio
      @MrOtterArtStudio  7 лет назад +13

      I just saw it, love Simba;) that can happen from water dripping on the paper, or from having too much paint on your brush when you paint in the area where they are forming. You can paint upright, on an easel (tape your paper to a drawing board) and that will help your paint not accumulate in one spot, and instead move down the paper, as long as you don't let it drip, this should solve the problem. Also some of the other areas look like the paint was too dry when you tried to go from light to dark, and it created stripes. Let me know if that helps!

    • @MrOtterArtStudio
      @MrOtterArtStudio  7 лет назад +23

      you also might be using the wrong side of the paper, make sure it is the textured side

  • @laurentok789
    @laurentok789 3 года назад +5

    If your paint brush drips colour, if the mistake is irreparable, sometimes I just flick the tip of my paintbrush so the spots look intentional rather than accidental. Only works for certain art pieces and would seem strange on others, though.

    I have just started painting watercolor flowers, and I don't know how to get rid of the dark outline the paint forms around the edges of the flowers. I have tried to blend them out with water on my brush, but find I'm not too successful. It doesn't happen as often with very pale colors, but or so with the dark. Liked your five tips.

    • @MrOtterArtStudio
      @MrOtterArtStudio  4 года назад

      I try to get that dark area and it is really hard to create. It usually means you have allot of water on your brush when you paint so it pools on the sides of what you are painting. If you don't like it, blot your brush off a little before you paint, Hope that helps!
