Using WAX to Paint Waves in WATERCOLOR NO White Gouache NO Masking

[@harshalsapre386]

Yess, I really didn't think that it can be done using a wax crayon!! I have made painting by drawing by wax crayon and then spreading water color over it thousand times in my childhood.. but still couldn't imagine this when I was going to paint foam😅 Thanks for reintroducing this and my childhood 😊

[@cassiescreations9828]

So true!👍

[@mariamorjane]

Your very welcome Harshal!! I never thought of using pigmented wax crayons! sounds like a good idea!!🤗☀️🌸

[@pinktoes56]

Beautiful as usual. Love the wax crayon idea. You make it look so clean and easy. I was 72 before I decided to take up watercolors. Now there is a learning curve!

[@mariamorjane]

Thank you Betty, never too late to learn watercolors🌸☺️🌻

[@bluerose11]

I used to use this technique on Easter eggs. Never thought of it for water color and now I can see so many ways this could be wonderful, like water droplets on leaves. Thank you Maria. This is just wonderful! This could even work for animal whiskers in graphite drawings or that bright spot in the eyes that is so hard to keep white. Wow. I'm getting a crayon now.

[@mariamorjane]

Thank you so much and yes totally!!!🥰

[@michelamartiuc1515]

Marie, I love you most when you described your brushes step by step, now I have to stop the video many times and do the quick color brush myself and figure out how to do the next thing you did.... The color combo is a little different now.... Thanks for sharing 🙏your beautiful art with us! 🎨

Thank you Michela and have fun painting🦋🌊😃

[@cassiescreations9828]

This painting is so so so gorgeous! Thanks so much for showing this wax crayon technique. I had no idea that applying wax could create something that beautiful! I know you get your inspiration from the sea and we can see that - your seascapes are stunning!

[@pathayes6084]

I am going to have to try this, Maria! I've always been a bit disappointed using gouache but have figured out how to apply it sparingly to get a better result. I am going to try your technique this weekend as I am painting some cards. I will let you know how it goes.

[@mariamorjane]

thank you Pat and have a wonderful time painting! 😍

[@renmuffett]

I tried the wax resist way back in 2008. Another that works is a white crayola crayon. Its just white soft wax. If its the look you are going for its great. The lines were a bit hard for my own tastes but its a great option and has its place.

Maria, I liked your idea of using wax instead of masking fluid or quiche. I’m wondering how the wax will hold up over time or is it rubbed off after the painting dries. Thank you for sharing...

[@mariamorjane]

Hi Stephen, Once I applied it - it doesn't come off, I rubbed it in the paper between the texture ... I don't think it will come off. My older painting from 2017 still has that wax in there😁

Thank you very much. This is perfect solution for me, since I don't need masking fluid often enough to justify buying it. I will use it maybe 4 times and it will just dry up. And it is hard to get certain effects with gouache. I was wondering if a wax trick would work, recently, and you answered my questions.

So very interesting! I was going to do a cat in watercolor in an upcoming video and I was trying to think of ways to maybe mask in the white whiskers without masking fluid, so I experimented with a white colored pencil before I painted, but it seemed to stay less white the more I worked it. After watching this, I wonder how well a colorless blender colored pencil would work!? Get the fine details you could with a pencil, but still the same wax! Going to have to play with that. Thank you for such a great tip!! 😊😊💙

This looks wonderful! I love such an easy hack, using a white crayon. Eager to try this out. I'm wondering if this is now considered a mixed-media piece (since a crayon was used) or if it's still considered watercolor. I know some watercolor competitions have strict guidelines.

[@mariamorjane]

This is a WAX Diane, not a white crayon 🌸☺️Wax (candle), Art Masking Fluid/same category, not a mixed media you are not using color, wax is clear.

Hi, thank you so much ☺️🌸🌹you just leave the wax... and you have achieved the effect - preserving white and that's all that matters. Even if wax came off on its own.. it doesn't matter... white has been preserved 😋

Thank you for a wonderful video. So the wax just stays on the painting when done? Does that affect the original over time? Will it turn yellow or flake off? Love the idea, but had a few questions. ;)

[@mariamorjane]

Thank you and this is something I tried for the first time back in 2017. That painting is still the same. This is my second time doing it and wax stays, you don't remove it. It sticks to the paper when you rub it in. I haven't noticed any "yellowing"🌼

Good morning maria! Great tip, faster to apply, less structured. Is wax visible looking across paper? Thank you, need as much help as is available. Best channel to learn. Take care young artist...

[@mariamorjane]

Good morning Sir! thank you so much. Not at all, if you use a clear/white wax, you don't see it on a paper.. unless you examine it really up close you may see tiny tiny bit of wax glued to the paper.. here's what I want to mention, I read in comments people asked if wax would come off afterwards. I just want to say that even if it did.. it doesn't matter, when you are done with your painting - white has been preserved so even if you use some different type of wax that may come off afterwards, again it doesn't matter, white has been preserved successfully and you are done painting ☺️Thank you so much Sir!

Hi Maria, it took me a little while to work out but am I right that you just did a little section from top centre of the reference photo? I tried a candle which worked ok but newer candles are quite hard, probably that is why they burn a long time.

Hi, you want to use a candle but with a point, otherwise it will be hard to control the wax on a paper 😍I used a reference photo as a general idea for a painting 🤗

Wait a minute.....you do talk? Little jokes aside, this painting turned out GREAT. I'm also using a white crayon here and here to preserve some whites, and i like it a lot since what it does is not so 0, 1. I mean there is a transition between painted area and wax areas, not like masking fluid that leaves a too defined and perfect edge.

[@mariamorjane]

lol there's plenty of classes with me talking thru at teachable.com 😁 Are you using a WAX crayon or just a regular white crayon? thank you!☺️

[@Drumaier]

@@mariamorjane oh, i guess is a simple white crayon, very similar as the one you are using here. I guess they have oil in it? Not sure about the composition of it. The thing i would like to find is some white pencil for more precision. I guess an oil based one. I tried with a polychomos without success 😢.
