Watercolor Techniques - Milk Consistency BONANZA! - Beginners AND Advanced Tutorial

If you want to learn how to paint animals, fur or just learn some fun new watercolor tricks, hacks and techniques, you're in the right place!
Hi! My name is Rachel Parker Varner and welcome to my art KZbin watercolor channel where the focus is teaching you how to paint loose, painterly yet realistic animals. I do reserve the right to go off on an art tangent now and then though!
If you're interested in learning watercolor from me more closely, join me on Patreon at / rachelsstudio or buy individual tutorials at www.rachelsstudio.com/watercolortutorials or join my KZbin membership at / @user-bt4uu9gc6h
My Patreon has the most extensive collection of tutorials and is a great deal because you get access to most ($5) or all ($8) of them when you join! I'm still building my collections on KZbin, although I have a lot available to that membership as well.
Join my community of watercolor artists on fb at / rachelswatercolorworkshop to share your work, get feedback about your paintings and enjoy seeing others' art too!

Great video. I love the direction you have taken on your teaching tutorials. I believe these videos have resulted in your increased Patreon students. You TEACH....you don't just do. You are so smart. I love being one of your satisfied Patreon students.

[@user-bt4uu9gc6h]

You are always so kind and I appreciate you Judy!

[@Miastrong930]

Best video on what tea, milk and cream consistency means and looks like. Most beginner tutorials simply say use milk consistency or which ever one they are using. To a beginner that is useless. Thank you Jerry much for this video. I have been watching beginner watercolor tutorials for several years and Ibsen clueless. To provide context I have to say that people who see my paintings say they are beautiful and that I am talented. I am also able to learn quickly. None the less, I had no idea the what and how of watercolor consistency. You get all the stars. I hope others find your excellent video before the get lost and give up on watercolor. Thank you juror sharing. I am sharing on Pinterest in the hopes that other will find this video.

[@user-bt4uu9gc6h]

Thank you so much and I have the tea consistency version and another one on milk tea consistency in my beginners basics playlist

[@colleenmcchesney1482]

I am really enjoying learning more advanced skills about the various paint consistencies & what difference techniques one can use for each. ❤ Because of your being the first artist I found to explain paint consistency with terms of drinking liquids, I have been able to grow my skills in both watercolor & gouache painting. Thanks for sharing this valuable informational set of videos with us!

[@user-bt4uu9gc6h]

You are so welcome and I'm glad it was helpful!
