Everything YOU NEED TO KNOW on watercolour washes to create amazing art - Watercolor for beginners

[@consueloyoung4484]

I love the granulation technique, the variety of colors that are now available is amazing. There is so much texture the technique affords you. You are the best teacher, thank you 🙏🏼 ♥️

[@LeilaAtaya]

Thank you very much, glad you're enjoying the videos!!

[@lindaolliver7857]

Love all three techniques! I’m really new to water colour and I’ve been having trouble with sky/ landscapes so this helps a lot. Thank you!

[@LeilaAtaya]

You are so welcome! Glad it helped you, the areas that you've mentioned are usually where many struggle ❤️

[@leboeuf05]

your videos are like asmr. your voice is so relaxing. you make painting and drawing look easy. im terrible at art

[@LeilaAtaya]

😄thank you. Have a go and don’t put any expectations… just play with paint at first. Then slowly progress to exercises and then to painting.

[@SMessai]

Leila, thank you for this great video and the tips. I particularly enjoyed the wet on wet painting. ❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹

[@LeilaAtaya]

I’m glad you liked the techniques 😊

[@RICHARDSTRICKLAND-s1m]

I liked all techniques you demonstrated but the wet on wet I liked most. I intend to practice them all. Thank you

[@LeilaAtaya]

They each are ready good for their own subjects and now you know all 3

[@MartyOGorman]

Some lovely techniques here, thank you! I have some winter scenes to try out this weekend, so the third painting has given me some inspiration.

[@LeilaAtaya]

Have fun painting and let me know how you go!! 😃

[@NotMyShow720]

Howdy Flower : - Hope all's well in the hermit kingdom...... ...... I loved watching that blue paint/wash/pool **just about** hold it's place on the paper, as you worked from left to right - a mixture of surface tension in the water/paint, and, a capillary action from the papers' fibres stopping it from running down?. I bet you've done this sooo many times, you'll know visually the maximum amount possible before you end up with a run-disaster on the paper....?? (!). Practice Eh. And at around 10:45 onwards : Like the "wild/moody" painting you did of the leafless tree on a mountain a few months ago = The colours and bloom/spread of the blue/green paint remind me of Blue/Veined Cheese...... Stilton, Blacksticks etc. - Food Of The Gods!. Making me hungry now thinking about cheese!!. Finally Chuck, your new audio gear : - That microphone (and perhaps a preamp that came with it?) sounds absolutely brilliant. It picks up the whole range of your voice, including those all-important "clicks" and "hisses" when you speak. A True Full Range Microphone..... I've seen many KZbinrs using Rode gear, including plenty of "million-plus" subscriber uploaders. Seems to be a "toss-up" between Rode and Shure? - But I know/bet Shure mics. are a LOT of money : for not a lot of noticeable difference when comparing the two??. Bye Leila, and as always = Thank You.

[@LeilaAtaya]

Haha yes sometimes the drop drops 😂 but that's why I always have a tissue or a rug handy ... just in case! Shure and Rode both have a big range of mics available from very expensive to more affordable but from many reviews I noticed that shur sounds better with male voices. I'm happy with the one I have. I thought I would need a stand for it as well but it seems to work ok on the table too and doesn't pick up much vibration. Hope everything is well in UK😊

You are very welcome ❤

[@aknight7252]

I’m going to share this with my cousin she Loves painting

[@LeilaAtaya]

Please share with anyone who you think might get something out of it. When I make videos I always hope that they help as many people as they can. ❤️

[@JordanHunter333]

Perfect timing for me to discover your channel, Leila, and so appreciate the easy to follow way you broke down the steps of creating washes and underpaintings. You created a springboard for so much experimentation, and in a way that new learning can also lead to many beautiful results. Thanks so much, excited to be a new subscriber. 🙏❤🙏

[@LeilaAtaya]

Thank you for such a lovely comment!! This is why I do these tutorials - to hopefully bring more inspiration to the viewers and get people into more creativity ❤

[@JordanHunter333]

@@LeilaAtaya It really shows, Leila. And your interactions with Rigby, and Rigby and his competition, especially tickled me because I love dogs with my whole being (especially the big ones).

[@LeilaAtaya]

@@JordanHunter333 They are very special aren't they 😊

[@VonBeck411]

Once again Leila your tutorials are fantastic! I have found "imho" keeping the canvas aka the painting surface with watercolors lower or a bit more procumbent to the surface the best for me. A lot less running of the watercolor paint... Sometimes watercolors get to "running" for me. Great tips and I'm excited to try them... You're the best Leila! Thank you...

[@LeilaAtaya]

Thank you so much 😊 always go with what feels the best for you and the subject matter ❤️

Gracias ! , Greetings from Mexico

You are very welcome 😆

[@ficheye00]

You are so sweet. I'm going to watch more of your videos. Thanks for the excellent tips!

[@LeilaAtaya]

you are very welcome ❤

[@tomdowning9089]

You always seem to defy my “predetermined/assumptive visual logic” when making broad strokes with watercolors. I keep expecting them to blot but, as you demonstrate here, the colors become uniformly seamless and so smooth. The finished paintings at the 13:00 min mark (absolutely beautiful, and those quick pen strokes to accentuate the petals!) and the 17:00 min mark (so pleasantly natural) are testimony to your artistic talent. Do you ever sell these “instructional” works? As always, your videos make the days brighter as well!

[@LeilaAtaya]

Thank you so much 😊 I don’t sell them but I give them away on Patreon ❤️

[@EmptyRainbows]

Thank you

[@LeilaAtaya]

Thanks for watching 😀

[@wikkerman78]

I love all three techniques! Thank you!

[@LeilaAtaya]

You are very welcome :D

[@theroadhome_Liz_Summers]

WOW!!! Thank you. I was ok with postcard sized washes doing what I wanted but anything bigger looked exactly like your "gone wrong" bit. I tried all 3 techniques in larger sizes and all worked well for me. Key for me was working quickly as you said. I am very new to watercolor ... I "think" I like wet on wet best but I can see the uses for the other 2 and I am very glad to know them. ❤❤

[@LeilaAtaya]

I'm so glad to hear this!!! Also keep in mind - the larger the art the larger the brush should be ( for washes) 😊

When will I get to watch you draw a Spinosaurus nice lady?

[@LeilaAtaya]

I've got such a backlog of work... it will be some time before I'll be able to it. You can always join patreon and do a request there. I do requested videos there all the time 😊
