Time Stamps:
0:22 Technique 1. Dry brush. Mix paint with some water, then start painting straight onto the dry surface of a watercolor paper. This technique allows for more control over where your paint goes.
0:43 Technique 2. Wet on wet.Wet the watercolor paper with clean water (but not so much that puddles start to form). Then, mixing a moderate amount of water into your paint, drop different paints using the wet brush onto the wet surface. You can experiment with different colors if you want. This is a good technique to cover large areas of sky, or areas where you need a soft underpainting.
1:18 Technique 3. Textural effects with salt. Start out by painting the area you want to make textured. While the paint is still wet, sprinkle a dusting of kosher salt onto this area. You can place the grains of salt strategically, depending on the effect that you want to achieve. Once the paint is dry, gently rub the salt off the paper.
1:59 Technique 4. Crinkly texture with a clingfilm. Apply watercolor on your paper, and while the paint is still wet, put on a scrunched-up plastic wrap on top of it. You can adjust the clingfilm while it’s still wet! Then, let the paint dry before carefully peeling the wrap off.
2:39 Technique 5. Variegated wash watercolor technique. The variegated wash technique is good for underpainting layers and painting skies or watery surfaces. Like the wet-on-wet application technique, you wet the surface with a layer of clean water, then start dropping paint in.
3:02 Technique 6. The galaxy effect. All you need is a combination of wet-in-wet and wet-in-dry techniques. Once your paint is dry use white marker to add stars
3:03 Technique 7. Gradated wash.
To achieve gradated wash effect use the flat brush to wet the paper with clean water, then load the brush with paint - not too much or else you might get clots of paint in your brush, but enough to saturate the brush with paint. Then, prop the back of the board up so it’s slanting towards you, and starting in the top left corner, paint in single, even strokes from left to right, working your way down as you go. Allow the paint to fade out towards the bottom. Gravity should also help pull paint downwards to achieve a soft, consistent wash.
