This is such a helpful video. Great to learn how to think it through before starting to paint. I’m scared to use a knife, for fear I’ll cut into the paper. I guess I should just practice, but do you have any tips about that? On the thin branches, wouldn’t it be easier to use masking fluid? Are there problems with using a combo of masking fluid and tape? (Too many questions!!)
@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040 13 күн бұрын
Questions are great! I have used a combo of masking tape and masking fluid. Masking fluid doesn’t give as clean cut lines. I have cut into the paper several times but it never showed when I painted it. Practicing is a great idea. I practiced on something fun and small before l committed to something important.

What brand of watercolors are you using? And is your paper hot or cold pressed? Just saw “professional” brand for watercolor paints, and Arches for paper but not the press on it. Thanks.
@thewatercolorclassroom-bec7040 15 күн бұрын
Arches cold press and M Graham paint. Just in case you are interested and live in the US, there is a link to a Becky Gromlich Teachers Choice watercolor palette in the description. It is filled with M Graham and 2 Qor colors.

On that big of a paper the best would be a flat brush that is 2 or 3 or so inches wide. Soft is good! So your squirrel brush might work. Happy painting!

I am so glad I subscribed. Your words hit home with me. I have painted quite a bit since I started about 6 years ago at age 60 after never had any interest in art whatsoever. Now painting is all I want to do but I am embarrassed by my artwork and think few are good enough. I will take your advice. By the way, I know people with art degrees that are not working as artists, and I'm a retired RN and flower gardener aspiring artist. Go figure. I think you are brilliant. It is quite obvious. Best wishes always.

My first watercolor paints as a child were Pelikan, a box with replaceable pans. I'm not sure about the quality of the paint, but the painter was terrible for sure 😅 Then, as an adult, when I went back to watercolor I started with Cotman, but now I use W&N and Sennelier, mainly, with some Schmincke and Daniel Smith colors.

I started my 4 decades long art journey with colored pencils and then went to acrylics. I painted needlepoint canvas (acrylics) as a business for years. When I decided to give watercolor a try, I bought a set of Cotman on Amazon but decided to go with non-granulating Sennelier relatively quickly. I actually asked Google which professional brand has the least amount of granulation. I don't have the full range of colors but try to add one a month, and based on your recommendation, I now have 2 M. Grahams which I also love! Thanks Becky!

The first watercolors I painted with as a child were from Pelikan. We had a box with my siblings' old boxes and the old ones in tin boxes were of better quality than the new ones in plastic boxes, the Colours were more intense. There were also three colours in between that were in square pans and not in these round ones. These were the most intense and beautiful of them and I thought they were something special and very valuable. After a few years I found out that it was traditional watercolor paint from Pelikan.

Lol, still learning! My first set was from Doodle Hog. (Lindsay thinks they are from Superior) 36 colors in a nice tin for $15. I'm actually using them right now. I'm doing a series of landscape studies from photos of the local airport... on printer paper! It's very interesting. What you lay down is what you get. It doesn't move and there is No lifting. It makes you very aware of your brush strokes, the paint/water load in your brush, and how to build color. I upgraded from them to the Meeden watercolor tubes (they have pigment information) and picked up the Mission Gold pure pigment 24 set when it went on sale. I got several different sets from Rosa Gallery as they came up on sale last winter. And finally I just made an 'investment' in DaVinci (summer sale) to get the specialty colors that aren't in the Mission or Rosa sets. ❤
