After working on a pleasing composition, he shows how to capture all the color variety, not only in the grapes, but the stems and branches and leaves, teaching tips for negative painting, pouring color, "finger painting" and adding delicate details. Follow along to create this colorful, light-filled painting.
Preview Watercolor: Grapes Now! Pour, spray and finger paint in clusters of grapes, then use negative painting to come back in and define your shapes, for grapes that glow with color and light!

New to watercolor. I loved your technique for laying down a base of color and separating the clumps of grapes. I also need to learn how to define the grapes as in your finished piece. DO you have a video for the next steps? Thank you

Amazing!!!

[@swetpmnkygrl]

I want to say he's using a rice paper which is fairly thin and allows the colors to bleed and spread. Without him picking it up I can't be 100% sure, but I know that he uses the rice paper frequently and it's a traditional material in chinese painting.

[@itaykivsi]

Beautiful. What kind of paper do you use?

[@MsPrincesaleia]

This is watercolour? amazing

[@simonesarfati3219]

C'est absolument merveilleux,quel papier utilisez vous?

[@bodulica3]

Most of watercolorists use Arches or Fabriano Artistico 140-lb cold pressed paper.

[@sundarammadduri3579]

What are the colors and paper used to paint this master pice art? Will it come so nice with water colors?

[@stellicles]

Beautiful and amazing . How can I get your Books ?

[@IDontWantYourCereal]

I love asian accents. His style is cool too.

[@stellicles]

i was considering this to but it seemed to me that it didnt really have the effect of rice paper since i use it to. but perhaps its a different sort of rice paper? interesting. thank you for your reply :)

[@yvonnevinke6027]

Dank je wel voor de tip ;-)

[@lifeafteryou10]

is this ink or watercolor? can I use gouache?

[@wendywells518]

Aren't the paints toxic when you use your fingers without gloves?

[@GunterKaufmannCalligraphy]

eine liebenswürdige Malweise

[@summerwinecooler]

But you missed so many steps between the second last shot and the last shot of the final painting dude!!!!!
