Paint more colorful, interesting darks in watercolor; Abstract Demo with Angela Fehr

[@capbin146]

I usually paint old photos of mine, instant nostalgia so just bingeing on your videos. BUT I really want to have a go at this. Some interesting pigments/paints in this. It made me think of Harry Potter with Indigo Dementors swirling about. Thanks.

[@everirisart3554]

I love hearing you giggle in between sentences, your joy in playing with watercolors is contagious! Thanks Angela!

[@annbarnes8402]

I am often asking my grandchildren "what colours do you see in that ploughed field" and we then start to move away from just 'brown'. Looking more closely there are so many more colours if we take time to really look. My grandchildren love doing this, and it makes me happy. Really enjoyed your video, thank you

[@robincooper9323]

What a great way to teach children to "see."

[@carolatchley3797]

Wow, this was very educational. I didn't think you could put light colors on top of dark in watercolor, but you just proved that wrong! Thank you so much Angela.

[@talisman006]

Every brush stroke you make always turns out beautiful!

[@ullazitabinder2091]

Love the action in that painting, the light bursts out several places, and it makes you just want to see more! Thank you for a fantastic journey!

[@JenniferKohnMurtha]

Thank you for this. Truly fabulous! Learned so much in fourteen minutes.

[@paintlady2268]

Very pretty! I see a seal' s head looking down from the top. First I thought dolphin, but then it grew whiskers. 😃

[@cecilialofgren1396]

You are the best! Courage is the greatest gift! Thank you!

[@cynthiarichter792]

I have been so afraid of using darker colors, even for contrast. So this video was great for me. Now I need to start playing again. TFS

[@eileenpeat2259]

Thank you so much Angela. I would never have thought to use darks in this way now I can't wait to try it. Thank you so much for your generosity you are a constant inspiration to me. ☺xx

[@paulalittle2495]

Makes me think of looking up through a tree canopy. As always, enjoyed your video, thank you.

[@carolratcliff]

Looks like a beautiful galactic experience! So fun!

[@Ann.CreatedToCreate]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing your love and skills for watercolor!!! I am so grateful for your “way”. You speak to my heart for the love of watercolor. This video is so helpful for my card making hobby! Thanks again Angela.

[@ionaday3340]

I love this. I love abstract and it's nice knowing it can be done so beautifully with watercolour.

[@kathsoulsby873]

Fantastic painting..the turquoise is really lovely. I am looking forward to trying this tonight! Have fun in Arizona.

[@ibrahimissaiaawad2888]

yes, that does look like fun!

[@avisquinn4855]

Thank you so much Angela. You are an amazing artist & teacher! I appreciate you & all you do to help me in my watercolor journey!

[@TheLeahsKitchen]

What an exciting video, must experiment with this. I see a beautiful waterfall falling just inside a cave- in your painting-just gorgeous!

[@ma.chonamendoza8487]

Call it serendipity but my current project is painting northern lights . This video gave me valuable info . I wasn’t happy with the first version . I planned to repeat it today ... then your video showed up ! Thanks

[@leilaskye3695]

Thank you Angela for your amazing gift revealing the magic of lifting and revealing the illumonosity of watercolour iut if the dark. This has also answered my question about "lifting".

[@ibrahimissaiaawad2888]

Might give you a god use for that one piece of black paper that comes on the top of an arches block!

[@TreasureMapsGenealogy]

Love this! Thank you, Angela.

[@lynn_thinks]

Beautiful, Angela! Thank you. I could stare at this piece for a long time - just relaxing my mind. Hopefully, making one myself will have the same effect!🎨🖌😎

[@alexserra9605]

Wow this was absolutely beautiful!!! These colors together all took my breath away!! The paper seems nice also I'll have to try a block!

[@deejcarter2003]

I love this look, wonderful contrast

[@joycesnodgrass7068]

Angela, thank you!

[@mscatherinemccoy]

Inspiring! Thanks Angela. Looking forward to the Master Class next month!

[@robincooper9323]

Wow! Beautiful. That Zoisite is sure surprising. So is the Azo hello. thank you for the great tutorial. I'll have to play around.

[@carlolsen]

I did a space/nebula scene lately, and the dispersion of the Nickel Azo Yellow and the Cobalt Teal was really fun to play with! I think the Quin Purple dispersed well too, but since it was so dark it didn't have the same dramatic effect.

[@miggseye]

Gorgeous demonstration. Thank you. I often saturate my watercolors and the darks. Thank you so much for sharing your technique. Liked and subscribed. Looking forward to checking out your others demonstrations.

[@sheilazart]

So you CAN use lights over darks. :) Very interesting. I am going to have to try this soon. Thanks for sharing Angela, and have a safe trip. From Prescott Valley AZ ;)

[@paulalittle2495]

Mesa Az here 😁 love your neck of the woods, its often a day trip destination for my husband and I.

[@sheilazart]

@@paulalittle2495 Hi Paula in Mesa :) MY brother lives in Chandler, and we are down there quite a bit. He is about 10 minutes from Jerry's and close to Blick's too. There is a Hobby Lobby and Michaels about five minutes from his house, so it is a favorite destination for many reasons. LOL :)

[@annathey2222]

Angela Fehr I heard you mention your a runner, May 4 is the famed Whiskey Run. Marathon, half, 10 k. My husband and I ran the10 k a few years ago, what a fun couple of days.

[@sheilazart]

@@paulalittle2495 It is,.. dangerous. LOL. We have a Michaels and Hobby Lobby, but the ones near him are much bigger. Do you have a website Paula?

[@judybreedlove5348]

Nice tutorial. I'm making a list of all the colors you're introducing as "high flowing". Trying to make my backgrounds interesting. This was very informative.

[@angellahoulbjerg4307]

lovely! thank you!

[@invisibleartist8999]

Thanks so much for all the info.

[@christinesnook6972]

Fabulous 💕🤗

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

Oh my gosh! I thought the title said 'working with DORKS in watercolor'. Lol. A woman after my own heart, I'm a dork too. Then it clicked. DARKS. Ha ha.

[@HSkyler]

That's funny. I read Demo and Angela but my mind said NEBULA which is what I think the painting looks like! Interesting.

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

HSkyler, it’s weird how our brain can perceive things, especially when we skim over words quickly.

[@EuphemiaGrubb]

@@ChristinaTodd1970 Ditto on the Dorks! LOL!

[@bernadetteruss4490]

I am intrigued after watching your youtube video of a watercolor on black ground. I have painted in acrylics on dark background and really like the play of colors against the dark background. Lately I have been using brusho crystal watercolors. I'd like to try them on the black ground as they burst with bits of contrasting colors. I wonder about using Brusho watercolors with opaque white. Would it be labeled a mixed media piece? Do you call your paintings on black ground watercolors?

[@lilbird2734]

I love that phalo turchois. I just found a dark color i love. It is DS lunar blue. Is the dark paint still wet? The yellow doesn't muddy? Which color is in the mixing pallet that looks like pink? Good video!

[@jaimeanderson9238]

It reminds me of being in a cave and looking down into the ocean.

[@rosemaryclark610]

is there any kind of indicator on tubes of watercolor paint that indicates how they flow? I don't want to buy all of the daniel smith paints to experiment with! I know they have the paint daub sheets, but I wondered it anything was on the tubes itself. Thanks!

[@lilbird2734]

I loved this episode. I would like to know which brand is the turchois in the picture? Thanks

[@lilbird2734]

@@angelfehr Thank you so much for replying Angelia. A tube of my most wanted watercolor paint is coming, i just bit the bullet and bought Daniel Smith Sleeping beauty turchois! Can't wait to get it.

Does it work well with water color pens
