    Fun fact: Laovaan let me paint the first seconds of this video with the mission "Try to ruin this painting as much as you can" so he could do some fixing afterwards :D

    • @HarmonyTheMermaid
      @HarmonyTheMermaid 5 лет назад +1

      Laovaan I have a question about the drying process.
      How many minutes or seconds should I wait until the water dries out? I saw a video on painting skin when you mention you used a light wash before going in with the desired color with not too much water. I notice you are patient when you paint the skin by letting it dry first.

  • @yasmine3920

      @knightroartz3846 4 года назад +1

      It problably because he actually takes a few more seconds to explain things a little more, and give examples as to how it can be done and errors to avoid. Most art teachers give u an art supply, do minimal explaining and let u go. Of course the point of art schools is to let u try out and expand. maybe try new art supplies u've never done before. So its great to learn/use art supplies uve never touched, but without a good understanding can result in dislike for a supply due to confusion and it doesnt help when u ask for advice and they just say keep trying or give incomplete info. I get learning, but its hard to want to learn a supply when u dont know what up with it or whats wrong.
      I tend to rely on youtube (dont have money for skillshare really.) As most of the people understand and try to make sure they note things beginners stuggle with. Again good to try lots of supplies not the best on how to use them or get tips on them for.

    Thank you, I already knew most of this from school but watching those watercolour paintings suddenly made me wanting to do it again. I used to dread watercolour a lot because I'm not the most patient person and even though my teacher tried to tell me otherwise, I was still convinced in my last year that I sucked.

    @annikania2682 5 лет назад +2

    Awesome video! And really, some very important tips! What I would like to add to the last point, the brushes, there are great synthetic brushes, which have extreme water capacity, like the da Vinci Casaneo and raphael soft aqua! For me they are a great alternative to sable, because they are not only vegan//at least not made from dead animals, and usually a bit cheaper! I can paint like everything i wish with a size 6 or 8 casaneo, both the details and bigger areas!

  • @HarmonyTheMermaid
    @HarmonyTheMermaid 5 лет назад

    The summary of this video is be patient when you let the water with the desired color dry first. After it has been fully dried you can go back, and add light wash of water that allows you to go back, and continue painting with the same color you used. Additionally, I notice Laovaan showed a good example of what blending should look like for example, a gradient wash of the same color. In comparison mixing colors is when you mix two colors to get the desired color. For example you mix yellow and blue to get the color green.
    Yet, if you want to achieve the blending technique. Re wind and observe how Laovaan blends the colors. This shows that you need to achieve that gradient look by blending out the color from dark to light.
    I would suggest beginners to watch video on color theory, and apply what you know from this video to get an idea of how shadows work in the real world. You can use any color as long you know what colors you want for your painting. Another suggestion is practicing on blending, and do a completely different one on what color mixing is for example, purple and red creates magenta. Since you need to use more red to achieve that color. But for blending it is different from color mixing.

    Thank you so much, this is really helpful and informative! As someone trying to branch out to different media, your videos are a great resource, and I love your art style. I'm getting back into watercolours because of your content, super inspiring. :)
