Watercolour ground contains gesso and modelling paste (3 parts gesso to one paste). The main difference is absorbency is better with watercolour ground. Watercolour ground will be better since it will help the watercolours sink in properly. Hope this information helps.

I'm not a fan of using watercolor over gesso because of the hard drying edges and lifting, but I do enjoy using water-soluble pastels (like Neocolor II) and Inktense pencils on it. They dissolve more easily with no visible marks. But I always finish the drawing with dry pastels and pencils, so I don't disturb the earlier layers. Watercolor ground is slightly more absorbent/less prone to lifting, but it's also quite pricy. Since gesso can be purchased in bulk, it comes out much more affordable per ml. I really like how your painting turned out, and how you made use of lifting as a feature.

Using acrylic paper with watercolor paints is another option. Can move paint around and lifts off paper easily. A beginner might try for starters. And I think is a pretty look. And I do hoard my cotton paper. So expensive. Painful ruining that pricey paper. Thanks for the information. Very helpful. I don't like to color. Now I can utilize all those coloring books people keep giving me.

The only thing you didn't do was keep a timer on the project so we have some idea as to how much time to we could expect to use for any given art piece. I now have the notification bell on so I don't miss anything you could teach me going forward. Thank you so much! Be well, from PA, USA. Not that I expect anyone to give a flying fig what my ideas were,but if anybody wants to hear them I could put it here. Maybe one of your viewers might know a different content provider that uses the suggestions I have and they could share the name so I could check them out as well.

Ooooh just what I need! Perfect to take away the scaredyness from finally taking the plunge and also getting to know Aquarelle as I can't draw for peanuts! Do you always have to prime your paper first? I have a collection of papers, different mediums, all sorts of art supplies here. But I wouldnt like to use 100% cotten for the beginning. I do uave some, just mor sure atm if it is hot or cold pressed. I suffer from depression and found a love for art at Rehab 4 yrs ago - but cant take that first step in starting again since then. I have never given up on what I would like to do in many directions in art. Now is the time to start - The idea of painting in a colouring book is a great idea and I have seen many of Emnanuel Colins work and love these beautifull girlie drawings she does, they are gorgeous, so cute! So, have just ordered the nr 3 first as there are only 2 left here and will get nr 1 next. I should have ordered both I guess, but both are a bit expensive atm. I may have to wait before beginning as I didnt think, I cant paint along with you if I dont have the picture first🤦🏼‍♀️. We will see. Thank you for this tutorial, its so helpfull.🧚🏼‍♀️💕

I just recently bought Golden absorbent watercolor ground to use on canvases, it wasn't cheap and I'm hoping that if I do choose to gesso paper, that it would lay down thin enough as I can't go and buy the more translucent ground. I'm also looking for black watercolor ground for black canvases but I don't want Daniel Smith because it's like water and expensive for a little jar. I've checked out other companies and no one seems to have it in black, would you know if there are companies that carry it? I'm in NYC and have access to major art supply stores - BLICK, Artist and Craftsman Supply, Jerry's Artarama (NJ), but no one has it. I don't bother with Michael's anymore as their prices have gone up and they don't have the supplies I need half the time, so I'd rather go and pay a few dollars more and know I can get what I need - accept for the black ground of course. 😣🤗🌹

Was there any water or wet area there? Watercolor only goes where the water is, if it's dry, it won't spread. I hope this helps? Not sure what else this could be.

QUESTION: You mention a heat gun. Why do you prefer this over a hair dryer?

@paintingandchocolate 5 ай бұрын
It dries the painting better, hotter and the tip is thinner so it's easier to direct the heat.

Did you try it with the paper taped down? It would help. Otherwise let the sheet rest underneath something heavy once dry will probably flatten the sheet?

I only ever use gesso for acrylics. I thought it would cover the whole picture so that you couldn't see through it... I'm scared to try it

It's the english name, gesso and it's a primer. Mine is from Lefranc Bourgeois and it's white in color. I have linked it in my list of supplies (in the description of the video). Many brands have gesso. Is this answering your question?

Whenever I have attempted to put gesso on normal paper, the paper ended up extremely buckled, even after trying to weight it down, etc. I didn't want to use it on account of how ugly it was. How is that not happening when you do it?

Was the paper thin? I haven't seen it with my others. I would have the sheet stay under a pile of books after it has dried. It sounds simple but that's how I flatten all my watercolors.

@@paintingandchocolate I did put it under the books. I guess maybe the paper was too thin or else I used too much gesso. I scraped it on with a credit card, but maybe that is still heavier than rolling it on. It's been a while. Mainly I just remember how disappointing it was.

With the extra money you are spending for a roller and gesso, just buy watercolor paper and start out with correct supplies. In watercolor, the paper surface is everything to success. You will be discouraged with this medium if you skimp on the supplies.
