The most🤦🏻‍♀️ignored watercolor technique!

[@nerdywatercolorist6551]

YESSSSSS! This was one of the first technique i learnt accidentally!! It was summer and paper was drying too fast, and I figured out pattern and learnt to use it to my advantage. I think the technique is Best when used in Florals, but I use it to give background a blurred look!! :P

[@AyaSmith]

It is still just wet in wet, but I do feel the name helps create a better mental place to start with :) wet in “damp” is where I LIVE haha!

[@urcringehaha.8814]

im so impatient i cant wait for the paper to dry for my life! i figured this out and used it ever since i started watercolour. its lovely.

[@lornashimmon9478]

I’m so glad that you have put the basics of your watercolor techniques down for me and my Grand Daughter to help us understand how it works! Yeah!!

[@StefanTaf]

it's prettyyyyyy

[@sophrosynemind]

It's awesome indeed!!!❤

[@Stella.22g]

Time to try it out

[@maureenmckenna5220]

Would love to spend time doing this. Watercolor is heavenly. Thanks for showing us.

Beautiful Kristy! Love those petals! "Dampy", one of my favorite phrases😂

Wet on damp is my favourite

[@angelashortall9778]

I thought I had been doing wet on wet. Apparently I have been doing wet and damp.

[@artworkbyjenma]

Cool 😊 brilliant techniques

I'm learning so manyv wonderful techniques from you. Thank you.

[@KristyRice]

You are so welcome!

[@pasteljezebel]

Yes very pretty!!!

[@KristyRice]

Thank you! 😊

[@jdmosaics]

First rule I ever learnt after soaking water colour paper… let it dry till damp… (till there is no wet-gloss) only proceed when it looks dull.

[@miekaandkadoe7042]

It’s how I do all my pumpkins and a lot of my mushrooms which are basically the only two things I paint lol

[@ginabadeaux9319]

i think you are an amazing person

[@isabellapaisleyannmariepru9544]

I never knew about wet on damp. We never use it art class 😢

[@gillball2820]

Amazing! Thank you.!

[@KristyRice]

Glad you liked it!

[@krisbang2382]

I actually used to do that instead of wet on wet, because I had such cheap papers I was extremely scared to put more water on them. I was so proud of myself for finding a slightly different method from what the other kids were doing lol

[@GirlsLikeFairies]

Yes wet on damp is the best.

[@Hillr2249]

Beautiful

[@janefoust2785]

I'll try it. Learning as I go!!!! Thanks!

[@AmanaHB]

Everyone knows wet on damp, usually by mistake lol

[@PPBbunno]

i didn’t

[@spaceaxolotl6196]

Actually use this technique in my watercolor paintings

[@Satarupa902]

It looks like dry on damp, brush has more pigment and less water

[@coboslolis]

I love ser on wet effects ❤

[@supertrucker99]

I do wet on damp. I use linen paper w acrylic.

[@gracehampton7036]

I make detailed coloring pages and then I water color them but it’s all just very dry. The colors come out even and it’s fun but idk. If this is a thing ppl do. Like I make a tiny pallet of sheered color and paint with them and if I want it darker it’s more wet and lighter it’s more dry

[@LandonYard]

You are so delightful to learn from. Thank you

[@Death_the_wolf101]

I use wet on damp sometimes or make it damp so it doesn't leak

[@Shin_artist]

I like to use this technique

[@creativanelly8159]

Me agradan tus videos Son tan expresivos y aprendo mucho de técnica acuarela (eres una excelente comunicadora) Aunque me ayuda a mejorar mi oído para el aprender ingles(como bono adicional). Me encantaría la posibilidad de una traducción al español (mi lengua nativa)

[@H2OPaint]

I do this a lot already. Now I know what to call it.

[@Kimi-fe3ix]

i actually learned this in my school!

[@blueeyedbluesman]

I will try that.. thanks for the tip

[@KristyRice]

No problem 👍

[@Viewvieee]

I've been doing this since I got my first ever sketchbook and set of paints last last last year

[@lovewillwinnn]

It’s missing a black velvet background

[@johnrose1421]

Need to try this but how do you make it damp

[@FabZvjezdan7982]

Im presuming apply water to the paper and let it dry slightly

[@KristyRice]

Exactly!

[@cindymora6714]

@@FabZvjezdan7982 O.o oooo thanks

[@claudettemiskell4839]

How about: wet the paper, then blot with paper towel😊

[@mathkor89]

What’s the difference of wet and damp ? ( don’t know much about water colour)

[@ShawnQuiQui57]

good video

[@althechicken9597]

I live in arizona, so my wet dries to damp so fast 😅

[@MannjitaMoirangthemH]

I have been doing ot for a long time unknowingly

[@dedewaters-masters767]

What’s the best way to achieve damp?😊

[@KristyRice]

That’s a tough question to answer. Damp should feel cool to the touch but not leave your finger damp if you touch the page. You would start by painting some color or just clean water and watch it dry… touch it a few times and when it feels as I described, you’re all set!

[@debbyleiper8367]

Thank you. Better for adding some details!

[@Muna-jg2hr]

I have a question. What to do if the watercolor melted from the heat? and became sticky. How can this be prevented?

[@lynnrex9996]

Cool. So how damp?

[@The_best_Annie]

Slayyyy

[@madelinegrudens]

Never thought about that!! Love the results 😻

Thank you!! 😊

[@Breadisyummers]

What about dry on wet?

[@hansendesigns]

Are u the vegas reviewer?

[@KristyRice]

No but that sounds fun!

[@Hello_there497]

So what I was doing for so long wasn't wet on wet? 💀

[@karenbourgogne1100]

I just can't do it ! or the paper is too wet and my details disappear or it's too dry aaaand then it's just wet on dry. how do you know when it's damp ?

[@KristyRice]

What paper are you using? When it’s damp there is just a wet sheen you can only see from harsher angles

[@AyaSmith]

Look for the sheen at an angle. Stand up and use the light to check for a glossy sheen. If there are any puddles, it’s too wet, and if it’s too dry you’ll get cauliflowers. Remember to check at an angle for a thin, glossy sheen - that’s the perfect window.

[@marlenevidibor8054]

mopping up water with. paper towel like you do to paper in printmaking makes it just damp and not wet.
