Thank you Michele, I found a few in your list. My mistake is working for endless hours on a painting to the point of exhaustion. When I start something, I feel it must be accomplished the same day, so projects can often be back to back. The other night I finished painting a doll I purchased from a reborn baby company. Then started a watercolor while preparing dinner. Are there older people out there obsessing over running out of time? I never knew I'd feel this way in my retirement, however I'm having a blast.

Apparently, the worst of these mistakes that I’ve made is working too small. When I first started painting I almost always used a quarter sheet of 9 x12 inch paper. One of my favourite brushes is a Cotman size 2. When my supplies arrive and I can begin doing your painting course, I will work on the full 9 x 12 sheets. I also ordered some gummed tape to stretch paper but I thought I would start with blocks as I’ve never used them before. I also have proper sized brushes now! I find drawing in any size hard, because of my tremor, but I like to paint in that size. In fact I’ve copied two impressionist pieces as a Christmas present for a friend that were roughly 2 x 3 inches. That friend and I are both miniaturists, as in dollhouses, etc. I am looking forward to doing your course.

Dear Michele. I begin to love you more and more. :) Despite fast talking, you pronounce so well that I usually get it. As a photographer many years ago, in the black and white era, I totally agree with your advice to place the subject at the right place. IMHO it also is important to make lines lead the gaze into the importance of the subject, and not away from it. I am burning for trying watercolors, and have ordered good papers, and a budget amount of good paints. I think less is more at a start, and I have no hurry. In my B/W photo-era I used the thickest copy-papers with most silver and no acid to make them stay for as long as possible. After some 40 years they are still pristine and crispy sharp. Colour prints from that time are real disasters, and I am happy to not used such for art-works. Could I expect something likely durability by using good materials made for watercolor, as for good photo-papers? I presume that you tell: I have no idea yet. Colour pigments are pronounced to age by exposing to light and air pollutions, and watercolors have no protections by varnish as oil paints... Did I answer myself? Probably. However. I am old enough to not have time for the most stupid shortcomes, so I try for top class materials from the beginning. It is possible that I may create some artworks worth saving in a future. Otherwise, there is no question. Do you think I can rely on W&N pro, and the french Archers paper as long time stayers?
@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber3 жыл бұрын
Yes you can, most watercolours have a permenancy rating, often denoted by a number of stars or something like A+ on the tube. The manufacturers will also put this on their website. Very few fugitive (fading) pigments are used now, most have been replaced which is why some colours like Alizarin became 'Permanent Alizarin'. It's worth checking though as you can occasionally find a fugitive colour in an expensive range (eg Daniel Smith Opera Rose). As Watercolors are just pure pigment and binder you will find them exceptionally long lasting, no coating needed.

I have taken lots of tutorials where the artist/teacher just starts painting on a blank sheet of paper, and when I have also tried the same it didn't usually work. When I have taken the time to plan and draw, it always looks better. I will do this all the time now! Also, the part about the working too small.

When I am just practicing, I like to divide the paper into sections and work small - for example to compare different ways to do clouds or rocks or different ways to get sparkle on water. But I also tend to go small in doing an actual painting, maybe because I still don’t have confidence that I can get the brush and paint to do what I want. Beginning is fun and exciting and also frustrating!

I usually don't really use masking mediums yet, mostly because I just don't seem to find the right one for me ^^' What I do, though, is taping papers down and I usually use cheap Washi Tape instead of actual masking tape.

And then they're really super affordable at least here in Germany where I got my basic, muted colours and metallics/interference colour boxes (yes, I know, I'm an art supply hoarder ^^') which all cost somewhere between 12-20 Euros for a 12-pan set.

Hi Michele. I am successful using Arches 140# cold press paper. Recently I bought 300# hot press to try it out. I'm struggling with it. Can you explain the comparisons of these 2 papers and how water and pigment should be used differently for them. If you already did a video on this topic, please send me the link. Thank you. LK Callahan, Florida USA
@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber3 жыл бұрын
Hi Louise, I don't have a video on it. But basically the bumps in the paper help the pigment to spread evenly and reflect the light. Therefore hot press will encourage the paint to puddle, causing uneven drying and backruns. My favourite use for hot press is mixed media. If you need a very smooth surface, perhaps because you are adding collage, charcoal, pen or soft pastels on top of your watercolour then hot press is the answer. However for most painting I avoid it wherever possible. You will need to be very watchful to try and stop paint puddling.

I'm on my third attempt at a transp. wc black panther (lovely pic: absolutely no "black" in the panther, and I love him, and want him out of captivity). On #2, I had cotman paints and *stupidly* thought 😂 I would "cheat" my way to a very VERY light gray-blue (after many failed attempt) dry brushing by simply not using my usual paints because the usuals are so pigmented. I even decided to size up my panther painting to a sheet (arches). It's been in photoshop to find the structure of the beast and so on. I'm down to painting nearly a hair at a time .So I was desperate and mixed some Cotmans into the painting to "force" less pigment. I've kept it taped to a board and am finishing it (so much $$$ paper can't go to waste), but I completely flubbed putting the cotmans in with the (mostly Senelliers) highly-pigmented paints. I got a lot of practice (and tears) scrubbing to white and using transp. watercolour ground. I'm learning. But honestly I almost threw out my cotmans I was so disappointed with the (next day) "chalk and ink" look. It's not the paint: I just can't mix highly pigmenteds with cotmans. I think there might be a filler issue as well as pigments; I look at it and wonder, and continue on #3. But I fear I struggled (as a beginner) mixing the students and artist-quality paints. I stopped painting for a whole day I was so frustrated. I wonder if pros ever mix cotmans with the higher-quality paints? These videos lift up my spirits after several copies (and drawings, etc) of the same subject. I MIGHT be close to finishing #3. I'm at that stage where I'm near terrified I'll mess it up, and know I have to push through and maybe there's will be a #4 soon 😂🤦♀️
@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber3 жыл бұрын
Of beginners paints, Cotman are not my favorite, and can look chalky. It's almost impossible to do up close detailed fur in pure watercolour. I usually do some dry brush and some gouache, but that may be difficult with a panther. There is always more paper, even expensive paper. All brands of watercolor are interchangeable but of course you may find more fillers with the cheaper brands, and less pigment.

I have the lovely picture of the panther, and 3 paintings (I'm working on only one now; the other two, eh, "effectively finished" and "color studies"): while I'm learning a lot painting my panther with the realism, perhaps I can use some "artistic license" and try to paint him a few different ways. -Not "abstract", but with a "let the watercolour do what it does" and me learn how to make the panther true to "traditional watercolouring" techniques. Like a botanical, I suppose (transparent)! But an indigo/sepia panther with gold and green eyes! Thank you dearly. I have all this paper to use, and many boards now, so I might as well try!

What I've learned about paint quality: Student-to-Artist quality paints should all be available in individual tubes or pans. If you cannot find individuals to add to a set you bought, then it is not even student quality paint, in most cases. If the prices for each of the colors, for each tube or pan, are the SAME, then it is student quality. Van Gogh, Cotman. If the prices for the individual tubes or pans are DIFFERENT between colors, then it is an Artist quality brand. Daniel Smith, Windsor Newton, White Nights, and of course Micheles paints from Jackmans :-) Genuine pigments can be expensive, or not. An artist quality brand will charge more for expensive pigments, such as Cobalt Blue, Cadmium Red. They will charge less for Ultramarine or Burt Sienna. A student brand will not have expensive pigments, so they will create a "cobalt blue HUE" using inexpensive pigments. That is why their tubes or pans will be the same price...they do not use genuine pigments if they are expensive.
