5 Watercolor Best Practices for Beginners

[@vincentcasados146]

I can feel your energy when you give advice, your heart is in it as you give encouragement and practical tips. Thank you.

[@NitinSinghwatercolorpaintings]

Thanks for noticing that, how could I say my love toward this medium

[@marioalejandro7549]

I'm a beginner. That's the type of paintings I like to paint. It doesn't have to be very realistic or perfect. I like it to look organic, with splash and imperfections. Great job!!

[@kashnii]

great description. You don't hold back information which a lot of teachers do, really awesome

[@gautammirdha4760]

Amazing 👍

[@KrisWiltseArt]

What a pleasure it is watching you paint this gorgeous piece! For me, your loose spontaneous techniques are what watercolor is all about. Great tips! Limiting subject, size, color palette, just about everything is very helpful no matter the stage one is at. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@anitac2758]

Nitin, thank you so much for your advices: I've tried them and I definitely feel more free now to experiment. I've always loved watercolors but I wasn't confident about using them. Your videos are precious, thank you a lot 🙏

[@lenkarajlaxmi2585]

Your videos are informative. I loved how you painting out of scribble. The best part is the video is not fast forwarded. This helps to pick details at each point. Kindly share what watercolor papers to pick ;of what gsm ... And what brushes to pick. That would be a BIG help.

[@amexjam55]

Excellent tutorial. I will take your advice of at least creating three paintings a week if not one a day.

Thank you! This is so helpful. I just painted a bird without pre-drawing, just looking at your picture. I was so surprised how pretty it was just doing some simple colors and shapes. It gave me confidence now to try and draw and do a better job of mine.

[@NitinSinghwatercolorpaintings]

Happy to hear this. Try to bring sketch first before you start painting

What a beautiful idea about a home gallery! I want to look at your skillshare classes and plan to very soon. I had to learn my materials well, Nitin, to develop the confidence for lessons. My confindance is that I can keep up with learning more complex scenes and Iunderstand color theory well enough to make things of beauty, and have them turn out ok more often than the unmentionable piles of failure that teach so much. I do not have paintings just totally fail in the first 5 minutes anymore, LOL! Blissfull Watercolors indeed. It is a great day for me to start from a new perspective, and my two of my favorite mainstay colors- I just got Daniel Smith, will be here tomorrow. Indantherone Blue PB60 (I prefer over Ultramarine) and Perm Alizarin Crimson. My favorite Red, I did not have but fugitive brands of it. Ok, enough of this short-story, but Nitin, you were the fist watercolorist I began watching 4 years ago, and I have watched you become even greater laatelly, and I am so happy I feel like I can grasp everything. I had NO art exposure prior to 4 yrs ago. Looking forward to the next video, and I will look back at the MANY I had missed!

[@NitinSinghwatercolorpaintings]

Thank you Terrie for this long comment very rarely this happens from any subscribers. Failing on something which you love is a way to success, not only you but myself also gone through the days when I was about to loose all hope to paint watercolor. Only one thing made me to paint is my innermost desire to learn this medium. I was keep making art despite all initial few month failures. Anyway, that’s my story. I’m just sharing what I have gone through and what helped me. My best wishes for your watercolor art journey, you will surely will see lot more watercolor inspiration will follow

[@TerrieJohnson731]

@@NitinSinghwatercolorpaintings I really like to wrte long commments! I worry though that I devote time and also that I am just rambling, lol. I get very happy to see a lot of people in social media really learrn to do GREAT painting, and from wonderfulartists from around the world. It only takkes a small investment in student grad materials to get more than started!! I find this wonderful, though I wil say I became addicted to watercolors, and buy too man sometimes, lol. I stop for awhile, only to want to try something new. I would rather buy the lessons now, and after I get relocated, will use money for classes from you and maybe Liron Yankowski also. I remember the video with you guys together, it was really great and I will watch it agan today. You guys,and Steve Mitchell, are my top 3! Have a great day!

[@jooglerman]

When you say use a "quarter sheet...a little smaller than A4" do you actually mean an Eighth sheet of watercolor paper?... Because that is the fraction size of a watercolor sheet that is close to A4. Also, the paper you were holding looks alot smaller than a quarter sheet. Just trying to clarify or were you using something out of a block or pad?

[@NitinSinghwatercolorpaintings]

Yes you got it right, i mean Eighth sheet of watercolor paper.

[@parthsavyasachi9348]

One advice everyone gives is to limit the palate. This one advice I completely don't agree with even when it comes to beginners. This is one reason when I look around most of the waters I see they look very similar in the sense that most people just take a yellow and a blue and doing painting with it. I think one should go out and explore the colors and see what colors one in the end want to use.

[@zuhairroomaney10]

limited colours forces you to mix and in that way you become a better artist and have a deeper understanding of the colours you're using and how they behave.

[@parthsavyasachi9348]

@@zuhairroomaney10 no it doesn't. Only when you have spent years and truly tried, you would come the stages where you can mix colors to get virtually any color. Till that happen by limiting palate you are just limiting what you are painting from. Case in point take in Nitin whose video we are commenting on. You can see all his painting have similar look to them. That's because he hasn't grown out of it, he probably will never if he doesn't break the limited palate shackles. He is limited by the palate.
