WATERCOLOR DO'S AND DON'TS // Watercolors for beginners!

Hey guys! Are you frustrated with watercolors because they never do what you want? I was, too, but after I figured some basic rules out on how to work with watercolors, they became my favorite medium! 😊

"Don't start with a crappy sketch" is one of the best and most funny advice i haver ever heard. Thank you!

[@BarbaraFelix]

Really love this video. Well done. Great tips!

[@andyhowden7655]

Great tutorial. This helped me so much. You have covered so many aspects of watercolour. Very clear and simple to understand

[@samarpitabanerjee7]

Just wanted to say, your tutorials did help me a lot and I love your techniques as well as your voice. And also how you explain things. ❤️

[@MinecraftPony155]

You can also use 3-4€ sketchbooks from the Tiger Copenhagen Store. Some of their paper is like hot pressed watercolor paper. I just bought a new sketchbook and it works good with watercolor. Keep in mind that the sketchbooks are usually rather small. I don't even know if this store exists in the USA and UK but we have a lot of them in germany.

[@rubengenesis100]

because of your tutorials I am now going to invest in watercolors. Your art is incredible thanks for sharing.

[@heloneidaheloneida]

Thanks for the info, very helpful.

[@gelflingfay]

I love the Alpey Efe plug. Love that man. You both have helped correct me so much.

[@sansch4492]

I think it is your first do's don't video. At first it surprised me, but I do think you'll find a new public that could benefit from your wonderful way of teaching! I really enjoy your videos and your personality! Keep feeding us with great videos! Your art is amazing!

[@LiobaBrueckner]

Thank you so much for your kind words! It is indeed my first video of this kind! Let's see how it performs! ;P

[@newenglandart9418]

I picked up a few books, Arteza watercolors, brushes. With your videos, I'm ready to watercolor. (Formerly Picasso Never Vaped)

[@antaresthetall]

You know, I really should have started transferring sketches rather than drawing them on the paper directly a lot sooner. Thank you for pointing it out so directly, I'll begin drawing elsewhere and then doing the transfer. Probably saved me a lot of headache!

[@lilyam835]

Amazing video 😊😊😊

[@lifeonmars9157]

you are so cute! and your videos are really helpful love from italy💕

[@shinlee5244]

Thank you Lioba for another useful and wonderful video :) Hopefully not a lot of people use copypaper for watercolor :D Also, I am pledged to your Patreon account and cannot wait to see the full version of this video :)

[@LiobaBrueckner]

Yay! Thank you so much for your support on patreon! ^^ I'm glad you liked the video and hopefully the others too! :D

[@Apocobunny]

Can you make, or is there already, a video of how to draw eyelashes. Both on how to make them thin, but also what to think when drawing them?

[@shamsart]

Cool

[@yonnah6477]

That tracing technique blows my mind lol

[@Rebe8d89AH]

Ugh this is making me want to watercolour again

[@klar23]

Just so you know. Titanium White gouache is pretty opaque and can match the color of the original paper, only it will have thickness from the paint. Zinc White gouache is much less opaque and used for tinting colors.

[@keithaguilar9790]

Quick tip....Rock a hair dryer back and forth over the tape to slightly heat it up and peel it off. This prevents the tearing of the paper. Don't leave the dryer over the tape to long or it will melt the glue onto the paper...thus the rocking back and forth method.

[@EvaluunaM]

Ooh at 6:40 I seen a picture of @aliciaaadani ! She’s so pretty and I’ve done a portrait of her before !
