[@NINAAAHxD]

I'm very impatient so my mistake is always painting when everything is still wet

[@noyoudidnot3513]

Nina S a m e. I go over it too many times, I got used to acrylic, ahahahaha

[@Goldfog]

That's why I always do two or three paintings at once when I'm using watercolors! While I'm waiting for one picture to dry, I can keep working on the other.

[@oceane.booktok]

Same ! And too much water

[@lillys7438]

[@loumcc1140]

Nina you could always use a hair dryer to dry off your painting before painting another layer

[@Moonunderrain]

[@whiteisneutral_3727]

I like how you’re straight forward with your tips. You get straight to the point, you speak understandably, but not slowly. That makes me understand the tip better, doesn’t make me bored, or feel as if the video is really long.

[@bincy985]

Yeah true

[@cinnagummi]

I've seen beginners draw flowers and painting them with watercolor and something that they always do is painting the petals in order and for obvious reasons it will bleed because the petals are together and they won't let it dry, what I do is that I paint a petal, skip one, paint the next, wait for it to dry, continue.

[@MrOtterArtStudio]

great advice

[@aninditakanjilal3591]

Ty for the advice

[@rachelwalker3017]

This is super helpful thank you

[@vijayalaxamishelke381]

Thanks for the tip

[@amiransary]

That's actually a smart way to do it. Plus, saves time as no dabbing is needed.

[@tyde-summerturck2868]

The beginning of the video: paintbrush aggressively scrubbing away at the paint My brain, freaking out: OH GODS STOP MAKE IT STOP AAAAAAA

[@bubblegum2741]

Thank you for being quick and to the point!! SOO many of these types of videos are 10-20 minutes long, so thanks♥️♥️

[@aishashaikh5699]

i love that you are the only channel that is persistent in posting videos and posts short to the point videos no wasting time thankyouuu

[@meghnalakshmisekhar2069]

Really good points Sometimes I add too much water Also when i draw branches with brush, my brush’s always very dry. But when I take my time and do it slowly and carefully it gets even more better.

[@sam-tm8ng]

The last tip really helps me, since I'm not really careful with where my paint goes

[@olgaandryushenkova]

Thanks a lot for your videos! They are so simple and quick but at the same time so informative, I've been searching for something like this for a very long time 🙂

[@emaguttenova7067]

I am newbie when it comes to painting with watercolors so this really helped me ^-^ Thanks

[@hiyamakwana7776]

With me the same mistakes happen some times.Cool video 🙂🙂

[@lolsmileyfacegirlxxx]

I would like to give a tip to those who are beginning :). Always have 2 cups or jars of water, 1 cup as the dirty water and the 2nd the clean water. You should always do this because then it will become a bad habit of using the same dirty cup and having some of the old color on your new color that you don't want :)

[@tgdevourer]

The paper breaking made me crazy this afternoon, I had no idea what I was doing wrong, thank you for this!

[@eonjadenorogo1240]

Yay! I now know what to do when too dry and when something drips! Thanks mr.otter!!!😘😘👩🌏🏅

The first one is so relatable :( But now I learned how to do it :)

[@bean7127]

Thank you soo much i kept getting grains in my paper and i was so frustrated. But that was the first problem covered in your video! Thank you again

[@laurentok789]

If your paint brush drips colour, if the mistake is irreparable, sometimes I just flick the tip of my paintbrush so the spots look intentional rather than accidental. Only works for certain art pieces and would seem strange on others, though.

[@rachelwalker3017]

The type of paint I use most often is oil paint, so water color just seemed SO overwhelming! Thanks for the helpful and easy to understand tips

[@prashants.gautam4479]

I had trouble with scrubbing the paper hard and bleeding. After seeing this video, I am gonna use the techniques you showed! Tysm :D

[@divadimond7230]

For anyone who dose not allready use water color paper YOU SHOULD!!! It is such a game changer!😲😄

[@mudwaskhatri4131]

Thank you so much for putting up this video. Actually I am a beginner and did'nt realize that I did one or the other mistakes in my painting as mentioned in your video This rectifies all my problems....

[@theo2oo4]

thank you for sharing. your videos are so helpful yet so straightforward and simple. thank you

[@gerktopia]

My art teacher taught us a trick to not get the water color in spots you don’t want. She said to put crayon on the outline or something then paint. The wax doesn’t mix with the paint, so it’s a pretty cool trick!

[@Rettequetette]

I'm definitely gonna try that out 🙂 Thank you!

[@hfz2602]

Thank you so much for the tips!
