5 watercolor hacks to take your paintings to the next level

[@FoxRogers]

I love the plastic and the credit card. Those were new to me!

[@malintvedt2616]

I have a story for you that is kinda fun and almost unbelievable; very strange but so amazing....! For the last two days, I have been reading and following this fantastic book about watercolors that I bought (in Swedish) about half a year ago and today I got onto KZbin to search for some more good practices and totally by random I ended up with this video. Which I really appreciated!

[@happylittlefingerz8995]

Ohh... Such a huge coincidence, but very joyous isn't it. Enjoy your hobby and passion to the fullest. I know how even the smallest improvement in ourselves makes us so happy❤

[@cshell2222]

This is Wild! You made me realize that I have the same book checked out from the library!

[@griffinharvey3910]

Thanks for the video & tips. Love the paper you’re using. Can you clarify which one in your description has this specific texture?

[@barbararivera2380]

thanks

[@urbangipsy]

So awesome❤

[@mildredmassey4742]

Great tips

[@pesto12601]

Hack #1... use 100% cotton professional and expensive watercolor paper.... or these techniques won't come close to working well. Not sure why these youtubers always forget to mention this!

[@kristinvanleuven]

I agree! If you’ve followed me for a while you know I talk about paper quality being most important a lot! It definitely makes all the difference

[@kassiemorse8849]

Also, what is the product that you would use to keep the colors from running into each other

[@Babyjohn8170]

Excellent watercolor hacks. Easy to understand. Excited to try these techniques. There are many videos showing similar techniques however, your video was so comprehensive. Thank you.☺️👍

[@meryitis]
