[@Arvaamaton]

That ironing tip was something I've never thought of before.

[@Arvaamaton]

But the arasing part was propably the most helpful.

[@sarahhassan118]

You know the craziest part is I used to do this all the time. Not only for art but also for the homework pages that were crumpled in my bag so it looked new :D

[@shiruko_1647]

Whitedanger 2.0 it's funny because you have more like than makoccino herself xD

[@Arvaamaton]

Melinda Bow I think either I'm not the only one who hasn't thought of it or I am. :D

[@Arvaamaton]

Sarah Hassan I know people who iron their socks, but I'm not a fan of ironing.

[@emilygee6618]

You're my favorite art channel on KZbin! Your content is great, and your voice is just so soothing to me!

The Sponge hack was soo cool! I didn't know that you could erase watercolour paint!🙃

[@alexandratrigg4778]

Pusheen M I always used to wet a paper towel and dab it on the area to soak up the paint with watercolors

[@starlaspencer9625]

Pusheen M saaammmeeee!!!! It shocked me.

[@shikhasingh-ye3bb]

can we use it on a canvas??

[@yumetou]

I feel like it just rubs off the top surface of the paper. That's probably why it doesn't work on printer paper. Plus, we got some for my house before and I swear it was taking off the surface layer of paint when my dad was cleaning our walls with it.

[@floraldreamdesigns]

@@yumetou yes it rubs off the surface of my watercolour paper too

[@Marmstrong1D]

I definitely needed to know about that ironing tip, my watercolors always come out so wavy. The one that really blew my mind thought was the magic eraser. I was in awe that it works so well and can't wait to try it! Thank you so much for this video!

[@cocoyall3176]

Tip! If you never had watercolors you can just use chalk pastels! You put a little water on it and it works!

[@candycake9531]

Really

[@huskieeeee]

Candy Cake yes it will work but it will be super duper chalky

[@jeanniereinhardt3515]

I LOVE all of these hacks! Especially the ironing and erasing. I am new to watercolor painting, and your videos have been an amazing help to me! I even mention your channel and videos in my art blog. I have a new hack (maybe) for you. I use painter's tape for delicate surfaces to frame my watercolors. Have never had a problem with it lifting the paper (so far). In a pinch, when masking fluid isn't available, I have simply cut a shape from the tape and applied it to the paper where I would have used masking fluid. It would be problematic for super complicated masking, but it actually works pretty well for more simple shapes and lines. AND, I can use your hair dryer hack to remove it just in case. Thanks again! You're amazing!

[@RadicalDreamer17]

The old ice cube tray trick is quite handy ! I use one for bigger watercolor pieces.I learned to draw "perfect" circles with a single piece of thread attached to the pencil... but these tricks seem much simplier. I'll give them a try !

[@b.i.c.violet4545]

Omg how did i live my life till now without that iron hack!❤thank you

[@Makoccino]

🙈

[@tinayoga]

Using paper clips to draw circles was a terrific idea. And I never, ever heard of using a Magic Eraser to remove watercolor -- that idea is pure genius!! Thanks for your videos!

[@sorayakamarullah165]

This is super helpful! Thanks, mako!

[@sarasolomon4812]

Usually when I watch "Hack" videos, I'm not very impressed. This was the second time I've seen a hack video from Makoccino that was really useful! I particularly like the washi tape on charcoal pencils, the magic eraser hack, and the paper ironing idea. Really helpful!!!

That ironing tip , the use of sponge,and making metallic colour is really amazing

[@kaitlyndalerio3771]

I never knew I could do that with the watercolor. I've thrown away so many papers because I've messed up. I can thank you enough 😂

[@xTK421x]

I love and use the eraser sponge technique. However, don't forget that some watercolor paper (like the paper I use, Arches) has an ingredient called "size" that activates when water hits it. Erasing can mess this up. Size helps keep watercolor from moving or bleeding too much and helps keep paper wet longer. Arches rough holds pigment in place MUCH more than Arches rough. Weather or not it is a different level of size or the texture of the paper or both, I do not know. I think the larger texture is from having more size in it.

[@tasneem7752]

you looked so beautiful when your hair blowing 😂😂btw i'm love it

[@Makoccino]

awww

[@createinspain]

If you want sparkly watercolours, find a cheap loose powder mica eyeshadow in silver, while, opal etc. Add some of that powder to your paint mix. Also, if you buy the ice trays with lids, you can make up several palettes of your favourite colours and store or use for travel. Adding a couple of drops of either glycerine or liquid honey to each well will keep colours soft and juicy for ages.
