😱 3 BIGGEST Mistakes Beginner Artists Make!

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

Another big mistake is not spending enough time on the piece you’re working on. The painting isn’t bad, it’s just not done yet.

[@KatieJobling]

Yes!! Love that tip Christina 🙌🏻

[@elizabethhamilton8819]

I took my time on a painting and it was roughly a week spent on a very small canvas. I haven’t painted in about 10 years, but I took my time, looked up some videos, redid a few things and it turned out cute!

@@KatieJobling Thanks.

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

@@elizabethhamilton8819 I'm glad

The giant flower painting behind you is beautiful!

[@KatieJobling]

Thank you so much!

I agree with your first point particularly. One of the problems for beginners is the tendency to get small tubes of paint. Psychologically it can be very difficult to squeeze out half a tube in one go as it feels wasteful. I know this from personal experience. I had a 20ml tube of raw umber, I had it for years because I couldn’t bring myself to squeeze out half a tube. To make it even worse, it was a free sample, so cost me nothing! Eventually I forced myself to use it. This is why I always encourage people to get decent size tubes, there is not the same stress coupled with a larger opening forcing you to put more paint out.

All your 3 tips r valuable number 2 is an important tip for me Katie ❤

[@hanssing1]

👍, I just bought 1 kilogram of titanium white (acrylic) since it was not available for some weeks, supply chain problem, I think, now I’m safe for awhile 😄, thank you for the video, though I watched it before - have a nice evening Katie 🙏😊

[@chrisr6157]

Thank you for these tips!

[@sofialima4521]

The paintings around you are stunning!! Can't wait to see more of your work! 🖤

[@KatieJobling]

Thank you so much!

[@aakankshasangwan3377]

That big painting beside you is stunning. I don't even have words for how gorgeous it is 🥰😚

[@roxanneleclech741]

I have been doing watercolor since Covid. I’m about to take my incomplete acrylics out of the closets and start completing them. So less water more paint. I will try that. Thanks Katie for your examples

[@np1032681]

The large painting behind you looks phenomenonal

[@KatieJobling]

thank you so much!

[@PatriciaGodboutArt]

Such good advice about references, in the future I will refuse to feel guilty about using them. Now I will combine several for one painting..

[@gurohusom4706]

That big painting in the background is just stunning😮 Wow! Great to see you back on KZbin! I’ve missed seing you here🌸

[@KatieJobling]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@barbarahorst392]

Thank you Katie for your great tips! I am guilty of holding back when I squeeze out my paints. Something that has been helpful to me is to step away from the painting. Sometimes a painting I think is awful, looks great the next day! It ends up only needing a few tweaks instead of a complete makeover.

[@aditimishra9900]

I miss your videos! Thank you for these tips :))

[@KatieJobling]

You're so welcome!

[@maggiefreeman6513]

I’m certainly guilty of the first one…I will squeeze out more paint in future! Thanks for a great video.

[@oisantosart]

To much water is one of my mistakes when I painting. Thank you sis for this lesson:) keep going

[@SharonLindleyVividDaysArt]

Giving up when learning is a big mistake, realise we were all learning and improving and you will develop with practise ❤

[@jasoncourtney9235]

More sound advice 👍 for reference material my college art tutor always said if I hadn't filled half an A5 sketch book for a painting, I wouldn't get the results I wanted

[@KatieJobling]

Great tip! Sketchbooks are amazing for trying out ideas 🙌🏻

[@fioregallodesierra5146]

Yes!! A new video!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 We are missing your videos, Katie!!! ☺️☺️☺️☺️

[@KatieJobling]

🤗 aw thank you! Got some new ones planned now I have some help editing as it was impossible doing it all with a toddler too 😅

[@roxanneleclech741]

I definitely don’t put enough paint on my palette. It’s always drying out.

[@CatMomAmanda]

Katie!!!! It’s so good to see you again!!!!!!! I’ve been looking forward to your next video!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@KatieJobling]

Yay! Thank you! 🥰

[@kathleens.1785]

Thanks for the great advice! Spot on.

[@sandrabayer1217]

Your work in the background ist really fantastic❤❤i love the colours

[@KatieJobling]

Thank you so much 😀

[@sunshinerose2585]

Another one is painting snow or clouds and only using white instead of adding other colours to add dimension and shapes

[@sherilynangel6498]

There are NO MISTAKES in Art 💫💖💫 Much Love xx

[@Beruthiel45]

We also don't know when to stop. An art mistress at school about 60 odd years ago said that I sometimes spoiled a painting by overworking it. I wasn't satisfied and kept at it beyond necessary. Took me a while to understand that. Thanks for the points you made. I'm guilty of all of them! 😊👍

[@KatieJobling]

So true! Love that tip 🙌🏻 and don't worry about it 😀

[@suewellings4500]

Thanks for the great advice Katie. I really need to get my paints and canvasses out again and start painting. I loved the painting behind you. It’s beautiful.

[@KatieJobling]

Glad it was helpful! and thank you so much 🤗

[@SketcherAmitSharma]

Beautiful painting 👌

[@rosemary2483]

So how do you do glazing if you must not use too much water ?

[@MariahFineArts]

Você é uma inspiração muito linda suas pinturas 👏😍

[@rena_blossom_]

It's true white is often use than other colours😂

[@rosemary2483]

My big mistake is the second one

[@zozodurbs]

Would you think abstract paintings also need references?

[@KatieJobling]

It's up the artist but I would say so yes. Not in the sense to copy it. But inspiration always begins somewhere. I like to use images, colour combinations, fabric swatches etc for my abstracts as I always keep them nearby when painting
