Your channel is wonderful for explaining watercolor in easy-to-understand but not condescending ways. We thank you!

This was succinct and provided such great information. Thank you!! I love abstract, so I love back runs and blooming for added interest, but it's definitely not appropriate for many styles/subjects. In another video, maybe talk more about blooming and how it can be good or bad depending your desired end result. Thanks again!! I continued to be impressed and delighted with your videos. I appreciate you! 💖

I originally got attracted towards watercolors because I was seeing a lot of funny patterns (like cauliflower effect) in others work, and I was delighted about it, and wanted to have such in my practice, when I realized they are technically mistakes, I was shocked.

The cauliflower effect (aka blooms) can absolutely be used intentionally and are lovely to use- especially in landscapes. Not necessarily something you can easily control in it's final look, but also part of the fun.

They CAN be mistakes IF you’re trying to avoid them. Some artists may like them and use them intentionally and that’s ok! Depends on what effects you’re going for, but yes, some, not all, do associate them with poor water control.

I don't know why I can learn more from you in less time than any other tutorial but I'm happy it's that way. Question....why do my colors seem grainy rather than smooth? I've experimented with different brands of paints, even some of the ones you use but they are not ever as smooth as yours seem to be. We have well water that's softened. Should I be using distilled water? Am I not mixing it long enough? Thank you for any suggestions 😊

Glad I can help ☺️. Can you tell me more about the graininess and maybe the brands you’ve tried? Is it grainy while you’re painting? After it’s dried? In the pan with water? And what kind of paper are you using? I don’t think it’s your water, but you could try switching that.
@Lacroix999

Many colors within the same brands can be granulating colors, it just all depends on the pigments used as well as how fine they are ground down before being made into paints. It also could be the paper you’re using. Rough or cold pressed paper will show more of that granulation over smooth or hot pressed paper.

Thank you...that makes sense! Some colors cause more "graininess" than others and its much worse when I reconstitute the dried paint on my pallette. I've also discovered that NOT using my paint tin to start with helps. I got myself a porcelain pallette and it gives me more room to mix, whether dried or not. Learn learn learn. Thanks

How do you store your tube paints? Lid side down or up? Or on their side? I saw your book in the video, can’t wait for it to arrive.

Typically they’re just thrown in a drawer 😅. I have seen people hang them on a peg board with mini binder clips, which is stunning, but not my current storage solution for them. Maybe one day.

What is your preffered method of shipping, mailing or transporting watercolor paintings so that you don't risk damage like rain or humidity? Is there a way to make finished paintings waterproof?
@RebelUnicornCrafts
Ай бұрын
You can seal them, but the dried paint is more resilient than you might think and sealing them often can impact the color. You can put them in a plastic sleeve with a cardboard backing and that should be plenty, assuming the package isn’t going for a swim in a lake.

Dorland’s cold wax medium can be used as type of varnish to seal your work of art in watercolor. There’s YT videos out there that show you how to properly apply it.

can you leave your paints left uncovered in an open pallet
@justjules327
Ай бұрын
Yes, they just dry, you can wake them up again with water. In my experience, they won’t be as “fresh” as they are right out of the tube though. Also I’ll notice dry paint flaking off. Just a heads up, if you leave yours uncovered for a while and move it around. The flakes of dried paint may end up places you don’t want them, like the carpet.
@RebelUnicornCrafts
Ай бұрын
Yes, and after you’re done painting you’ll want to leave it open for it to dry before putting it away because, depending on the humidity of your home/environment, it could lead to moldy paints.

Making sure you have enough of the color and then doing a drip line approach to a color wash. I demonstrate that here if it helps, just avoid your subject you’re painting around kzitem.info4O4vZBEdLg0
