If you find a red photo with berries you should be able to paint this. I actually used two different photos for this one and didn’t stick to either too much.

I do have some videos that are just one technique at a time that are geared toward beginners. I try to explain things as I go so that they make sense to all levels. Perhaps some other videos than this one would be more helpful?

So no paint in the white "bocca", just water?
@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040
@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040 3 күн бұрын
Yes to do the bokeh you actually just use water. It lifts a bit of paint from the paper, leaving the shadowy looking spots.

Then, I see things that need changed...and I change them. I've done what you did to your sky many, many times... This was very helpful and validating. Thank you so much!!

You could try gouache. It is much thicker than bleed proof white so I’m not sure how it would work.

I love your demo and am new to you and watercolour. Is the frisket used for the backlight effect or generally for the fine hairlike texture?
@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040

Good question. It can be used for both. It’s tricky to get it fine enough for hair though.

@ I’m interested in concept of backlighting now that you’ve mentioned it. I use acrylics. Would it be different?
@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040
@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040 7 күн бұрын
@ Frisket is rubbery and blocks the paint from hitting the paper. When you remove it the white paper shows. I think that with acrylic you would just add light paint for the hair. I don’t think frisket would work with acrylic paint.

Some say to we should have two variations of the three colors, a warm and a cool version of each. Do you think this is necessary or just more convenient? Thanks for the instruction.
@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040
@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040 9 күн бұрын
If you want to mix ANY color in the whole world, you will inevitably do that and then even more variations. For the purpose of understanding colors, I found this to be adequate. That said, if that would help you more, then it would be a good thing to do!

This has to be the most beautiful creche scene I have ever seen painted. Such care...the stripes on the blanket....your love for our Saviour comes out in your work. Hope you don't mind if I try to copy it for cards this year. The front of the card will be in black with gold lettering saying, "And God said, let there be light...". Then you open the card and see the Light of the World. Thank you.

I think the dish soap strips the natural oils of the bristles in my opinion! It’s not about how much faster it cleans the paint out for me it’s more about keeping the brushes preserved! Thanks for the video!

Thanks for your input. I have become more and more sold on the brush soap! I do know people that only rinse and never wash their brushes. Eventually the paint doesn’t flow through them well at all.

Another ways to achieve this is by sharpening the end of a paint brush. It gives some great twigs and tree branch effects. I love the circle idea that is so cool! Gorgeous painting. Thanks for sharing ❤❤
