I never thought leaving the pencil marks of it part as history but what a great way to think about it. I like it both ways and sometimes I’ll go over it w ink . I love zinnias and they come in so many colors and fun to paint . Thank you great tutorial

I just found you KZbin channel and I love these 10 minute paintings! Can you explain how you choose your focal point? Also what was the crayon you used was is a pastel? Thanks for the videos can’t wait to try this!
@jenfletcherart33913 ай бұрын
Hi Jessica! The crayons are called Neocolor II and they’re made by Caran Dache. For focal points, that takes a lot of practice. But, some basic composition tips are to choose an off center point on your page, use a large element surrounded by smaller ones, or use complementary colors (like blue/orange or red/green) or darks and lights next to each other to draw attention to your focal area. Hope that helps without being overwhelming!

Swatching never gets old. The buff titanium leans towards a warm yellow, so I would expect blue colors to become more green when mixed with it.

I have used this potter's pink and buff titanium trick for a while. I could not resist the new Daniel Smith offering of five granulating colors for the price of four. Serpentine, Sodalite, Piemontite, Hematite, and Mars Black. All five are amazing and worth the price. I bought it for the green to use in landscapes but have fallen in love with the hematite for gravel, concrete and other grey-brown surfaces.

Potters Pink has been on my wish list for a while. I really like the results. I'm a Harry Potter fan too! I have read the books a few times and watched the movies many times. I love the books more, but at this point, I like how the stories are handled in each medium. And yes, Goblet of Fire is my favorite. The movie scene with one character crying out "My boy!" gets me every time. Thank you for the video!

This was a fun one! I love that you are using the same chart, so we can see the effects together! The cadmiums, ultramarine and cerulean plus the lunar black (PBk11) are in some of Schmincke's super granulation series. Most of which can be mixed at home. If you really love Viridian, but hate the dried up rock that it tends to be in most brands, get M Graham's version. Very highly tinted, very granulating and soft. It's the best IMHO. Thanks for sharing and happy exploring! 🌻

Hey there Jen....Rus here from Pennsylvania and I am a new subscriber! Ive been a Professional Artist since the mid 70s and also a teacher during these past few years...I mostly work in Watercolours but dabble in all mediums from time to time. I came across your channel during my daily search for inspiration and truly love your videos! You are honest and creative...and have so much to offer the creative community! I have been also seriously considering starting my own KZbin channel to teach others and to review products for both those just starting out and the old dinosaurs like myself.. LOL!...Anyway I just wanted to stop by and introduce myself and to say hello..and to thank you for giving me the inspiration I needed today! We all keep learning on this creative journey and the best part is we can share and learn from each other! So again thank you and I wish you many blessings! ..Sorry for the long winded message....Rus from Bucks County Pennsylvania...❤️🖌🎨🤓

Yes!! I love peachy coral colors. In my main watercolor palette I have opera rose, quinacridone burnt orange, yellow ochre, cadmium red medium, and I think it’s cadmium yellow medium. Mixing and matching these colors make some amazing peaches, pinks, and corals. If you have any that are too bright for you, try toning it down with its complementary color. Have fun!
