Avoid This Watercolor Pigment 🚫⚠️

[@johnjones928]

One thing to add about using gouache is there are 3 different types of white, zinc, titanium and permanent. For adding highlights permanent is the most opaque, titanium can also work if applied thick but like zinc is mostly used for mixing with pigments.

[@jondoh587]

I'm impressed with your steady hand in painting around the flower buds. I think I'd need to resort to masking fluid to keep the edges clean.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you so much 💕 I love masking fluid too - whatever works 👌 as long as it’s not “white” watercolors 😊

[@girijal8853]

Your video is an audio visual treat. Anna. I love listening to you as much as viewing the painting process. Some botanical artists use linden green gouache as a base color for greens.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you so much for your feedback and the color recommendation Girija! 💕 I am not familiar with linden green gouache and will keep it in mind for my next art store trip 🙏😊

[@SweetTeaDG]

I'm trying to learn the PROCESS better and something I've noticed in most demonstration videos is that the artists never say when they're using wet-in-wet or wet-in-dry and sometimes it's very difficult to tell because you never see application of water for wet-on-wet after the initial background foundation wash. Are all your "building" layers on the leaves wet-on-wet? I've watched your video on the techniques, but sometimes it's hard to identify them in real time for us beginners unless the artist vocalizes what they're using. I appreciate all you videos and have learned so much!

[@MrSanmay]

Yes. It's very true. Excellent tips❤❤❤

I really need to get a couple of your brushes. The points seem really precise!

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

I can definitely give a 5 out of 5 on Chronos size 0 and 2 round and riggers in size 4 - excellent precision. Of course as you go up a few sizes the water load / control will always be better with 100% sable brush but I’ve been doing ok with Chronos sizes 4 and 6 there 😊

Do you have any tips for watercolour a waterfall? I've been struggling with it for a while and can't seem to get waterfall pop out from the painting since it's just white paint on white piece of paper (l'm kinda new to watercolour painting)

[@InkByt3]

I'd love to know how you blend your first layer where you "map" out the colours. You do it seamlessly and the colours seem to merge together, mine don't blend very well!

[@221b-Maker-Street]

Have you experimented with the water levels as you're blending? Also, some brushes hold and release water better than others, so it maybe a little experimenting with different brushes is required? Bon chance! 🤍

[@InkByt3]

@@221b-Maker-Street Thanks so much! Yes, I tried blended with different amounts of water and I figured out that a damp, not too wet brush that has some water in it is great for blending out tones! 😁

[@caitmccollom9652]

paper also matters. I didn't realize how much so until i finally bought 100% cotton, and OMG! will never paint on any other paper now.

[@InkByt3]

@@caitmccollom9652 I know! It felt like heaven when I first started using them. I've been practicing blending and layering, it's going great!

[@lindawakiyama1603]

Beautiful painting and teaching video! Thank you! As an extreme beginner in watercolor, when you say white gouache, do you mean specifically watercolor white gouache? Does it matter which company, as I have a little portable Van Gogh half pan set? Also, living in Japan, some brushes are not easily available here . Do you know of any of the Japanese brushes companies, and if you do what would you recommend? ❤

[@parleymanderson7527]

Great video! However, I want to add that this advice is only for beginners who don’t know what they’re doing. Once you gain more experience, every pigment, even black and white can be used to make great painting so it’s important not to use a pigment or technique just because others say so. For instance, white can be mix to make pastel tone such as lavender or add a bit of earth tone to create buff titanium hue. It’s important to understand how the pigments behave and decide what techniques or subjects fit it best than just to say ever use them in certain ways.

[@shahriarnafis998]

@@AnnaBucciarelli found it. Sorry my bad

[@user-bi6eg1lo7v]

With great regret, I painted a floral composition with water droplets on petals using Dr. Ph Martin White Bombay India Ink. The white ink droplets ruined the whole painting by being unnatural looking; even worse, there is slight cracking of the ink on the watercolor paper and some uneven bumpiness. Never again will I use white ink as another KZbinr watercolorist suggested in her favorite materials supply list. *cries*

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Oh no! I am not familiar with that material. But I totally understand how this would be super upsetting. Next time you have a new medium or paint I highly recommend testing on smaller / scrap or sketch before bringing it into your larger projects ❤️

[@harpersmythe658]

Thank you for telling viewers not to use white watercolour. We were taught this at art school and I have always followed that advice. There are many ‘self taught’ artists on here and while their work is very, very good, when they are doing ‘tutorials’ aimed at complete beginners, most will say it’s ok to use white w/colour. It is bad advice and sets people up for failure I’m afraid and a lot will give up before they’ve really started ☹️

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Absolutely! There is a fine line between saying there no rules in art, and artists should use whatever they want, and creating a scenario where a beginner may be extremely frustrated not knowing why they are getting wrong results. Thank you for sharing your experience! 💕

[@10538overture]

I agree. You can get into a lot of unnecessary difficulties with it.

[@harpersmythe658]

@@AnnaBucciarelli my pleasure, I just get so annoyed with people giving poor advice. The same goes for using black w/colour paint. Like white, it is opaque and gives a very ‘flat’ and lifelessness to the piece leaving the person feeling as though they are at fault. I just want people to have a go and succeed and the best way to do that is to be as accurate as possible with information, because that is the real encouragement 😊
