6 Pairings of Paper Moisture and Paint Consistency for 6 Different Watercolor Effects

In this video I'll show you 6 pairings of paint wateryness coupled with paper moisture levels and demonstrating how each pairing results in a different watercolor effect. It's all about water control in both your brush and paint mix as well as paper dampness levels! When you learn how these two factors work together, you'll know how to get any look you want, whether it's a dark mark with soft edges, a dark mark with hard edges, a light mark with hard edges, etc etc!

[@colleenmcchesney1482]

Another great fur/hair/textures video filled with lots of tips and information about watercolor paint consistency. I had never heard of it being broken down into the 3 terms, tea, milk, & cream. But it makes sense for visual learners. Thanks for sharing this valuable information with us.

I'm so glad it was useful!

[@karenarmendariz2858]

Great demonstration and explanation . I found this video very helpful, all of your fur series videos actually . I’ve been watching your patreon videos and learning so much about your techniques. Your painting style is so much like mine. Pretty sure that’s what drew me to you 😁👍

[@rachelsstudiodotcom]

I'm so glad you are enjoying everything!💗

[@eleniphotos]

Thanks to you, I got more brave doing animals! (mainly cats...)

[@rachelsstudiodotcom]

That makes me so happy to hear that!

[@karonsky1]

What a great way to do a teaching post!! Is your sample board on an angle, it looks like it by how the paint dries. But your water jug looks level?? ❤️🇨🇦

[@rachelsstudiodotcom]

Thank you so much! Everything is level.

[@karonsky1]

@@rachelsstudiodotcom and speedy replies too!?! Girl you got this KZbin thing down, keep up the great teaching and giggles. I’m in!!
