Wet on Wet Beginner Watercolor Landscape Tutorial / Misty Forest

[@kathrinegrace1382]

New watcher here! I love being able to see all your materials in the shot, please don’t change it! Beautiful work I love your videos 😍

[@JackiePeacock]

Thank you so much Katherine. I will have to keep that in mind for future videos because a lot of my videos are different as far as everything being set up. Sometimes my paints are in the shot and sometimes they aren’t. It really just depends, but I’ll keep that in mind for future filming.

[@Joyydiaz]

Hi Jackie! This is a beautiful painting, thank you for sharing. Seeing the use of water is super helpful so please continue to keep it in the shot......I wish more people did this. I'm new to watercolors so it's very very helpful. Thank you!

[@JackiePeacock]

Yes totally agree. I need to figure out the best way to include everything. I might need to change up my lenses. Thanks for the feedback, Joy! 🌲🌲🌲

[@cindihinnendael6197]

I love dark and contrasting watercolors also. I’ve taken a few classes where I’ve been told that my painting is too dark or too bright and that I’m wrong for painting that way. Now I say …to heck with those opinions and I do my own thing. 😊

[@JackiePeacock]

Ooh no. I’m sorry you’ve had those experiences. It’s always good to learn the different techniques for painting, but it’s even better when you let yourself explore your own take on a piece, no matter how you get there. 🤍🌲🌲🌲

[@toniransom8134]

Jackie, I particularly enjoyed this tutorial because I can see how you are using your water in comparison to dabbing on your cloth and the way you are mixing your colors. Beginner like me, it is very helpful to know what you’re doing to get what effect. I hope to see more of these tutorials with similar camera position. I’m really enjoying your techniques as well. Thank you!

[@JackiePeacock]

You are so welcome!

[@gillianburgess3441]

[@JackiePeacock]

awww thank you! I'm happy to have helped. :)

[@cheesepie455]

Thank you so much for the wonderful insights.. Every one of your videos is extremely helpful for an intimidated painter like me. It has been 2 yrs since I painted. Your videos have inspired and motivated me to resume. My heartfelt gratitude. I hope you can continue to bring this joy to many like me. People like you make this a wonderful planet🙏🙏

[@JackiePeacock]

Wow! What a wonderfully kind comment to read. I hope you do pick up that paintbrush and start at it again. Painting has been a wonderful kind of therapy for me. Even just focusing on painting simple shapes helps. Thank you so much for your words.

[@joycesnodgrass7068]

Thank you

[@nellkrams3698]

I love your trees!! The green mix you made.for your trees…awesome❤️. I’ve been trying your trees, not with a lot of success…however, I’m going to really watch how you paint them, see if I can pick it up. Your style is really unique and I love to paint trees, all kind of trees. Thank you!!!

[@JackiePeacock]

Thanks, Nell! My absolute favorite green. I’m sure the more you practice, the quicker you’ll get it, and you may discover a style you love along the way. Trees are such a fun subject to paint. Thank you for your feedback.

[@sherrylaird5141]

Thank you for your tutorial about how to paint your trees. I have trouble making mine look real and not fake. I plan to watch all your videos on this and hopefully I’ll get better!😊 your work is beautiful!,

[@tamilouduplechin7927]

Super super nice!! Love it

[@JackiePeacock]

Thank you! 🌲🌲🌲

[@kellyquenneville7295]

I love your paintings and have been practicing and exploring. What would be helpful, at least for me, is to briefly describe how you do the birds and to explain more about having it darker at the base of the trees or elsewhere. I guess a little more why's and how's of the actual subject matter.

[@JackiePeacock]

You got it, Kelly! Thank you for the feedback and for watching :)

[@mariaguarnieri746]

I love your process, thanks for sharing!

[@JackiePeacock]

Thank you, Maria! Appreciated. 🤍

[@van_creative]

Beautiful!! Love this style

[@JackiePeacock]

Appreciate that, thank you! 🌲

[@cathydoorten]

For me the most importent thing in a tutorial is that it is filmed from above only and that you can see very good what the teacher/artist is doing so noting is left out. And zooming is if the can

[@JackiePeacock]

I’ll keep note of that for future videos. Thank you for the feedback, Cathy! 🌲

[@madmax7201]

What's even more important, how she even painted it with such ease having that physical obstacle called a camera. 😅

[@karinbergman1646]

Beautiful

[@JackiePeacock]

[@loribrewer4822]

Hi Jackie ,. again ,. I am in AWWWWWEE of your techniques and vision. YOU have inspired me on so many levels ,.. you have me hooked on misty moody themes ,.. I would love to see more, (preferably like you have and not too complicated for the beginning artist),. you have also inspired me to use quality supplies such as the Princton long round brushes ,.. and the aqua elite series ,.with that said ,. I was curious ,. do you buy multiples at a time of each size being as much as you paint, or just as needed when they have lost their quality,. ,. and do you have any recommendations for keeping the quality of the brush last longer? .

[@JackiePeacock]

I'm so glad I could inspire you! Nothing like have good painting supplies. I will absolutely be painting more misty scenes and misty trees. So, I actually haven't needed to get new brushes. I know my bristles are a little rough that I use for trees and my overall washes (aqua elite 12 one), but they hold up well. I only use those brushes for landscapes. If I am painting other subjects like botanicals or cabins, I use the heritage series by Princeton. Those I make sure to have a lighter hand so I don't mess up the bristles. As far as keeping your brushes in good shape, I would make sure to not leave them in water, to gently dab them dry on a cloth to paper towel, let them dry flat, and to store them bristles up (once absolutely dry). And of course, to not scrub your brushes on paper. I totally do, but that's only for three of my brushes and I'm ok with it. But most artists wouldn't do that. :) Hope that helps.

[@bronwynbossley4458]

Love your work with your fine brush which brand?

[@JackiePeacock]

Thank you! It’s the Aqua Elite 12 round, and the Velvatouch long round 4.

[@madmax7201]

Have you noticed how she wasn't slightly bothered by the paper on the lose and that it started curling as she kept applying more and more wet on it? 😂 Only art, no discomfort. Amazing result.

[@JackiePeacock]

Haha too funny! Yeah, it eventually evens out with more misting, but a few curls don't bother me too much :) Thank you :)

[@rhondanicholson889]

You are amazing

[@JackiePeacock]

You are too kind, friend. Thank you.

[@JackiePeacock]

Another way to achieve a misty forest using wet on wet is with a sponge. Click here to see how you can do this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIbco4ycec2mqpI

[@user-gm3kg9ie9d]

I love dark and rich colors, which is why I'm struggling with my watercolor paintings looking "dull" when they dry 😒

[@JackiePeacock]

I love that you love darker colors, too. When it comes to watercolor, I've found that there are two ways to achieve a more darker and richer feel. One is to make sure you have enough rich paint on your brush and to layer. As someone who likes more moodier paintings, I've had to learn to enjoy the light to dark way of painting and to embrace layering. Sometimes your paints can be a problem as well. I only use professional grade paints these days, but when I started out and used student ones, the colors weren't as strong. But I bet if you start layering and building up your painting that will help.

[@els_elisa]

I don’t understand what you do when you say “I mistimed the paper” you mean you spray it?

[@JackiePeacock]

I wish I would have been better at filming the parts when I misted these paintings. I promise I'm better at it in more recent videos! And to answer your question, yes, I sprayed the paper. I say mist because in my mind it means delicate droplets of water verses a spray, but I suppose they are the same thing. When I mist/spray my paper, I hold the bottle a few inches away as to not move the wet paint around too much when I spray. But sometimes you'll see me spray it close, and this allows me to quickly move the paint around. I believe you can see this effect in my most current video. Hope that's not too confusing. I'm going to do a quick video on how and why I do this because it's an important question I get a lot and need to clarify haha

[@beverlywaldron4308]

Too much talking about non-relevant things please stick to the painting and what you’re doing. I don’t need to hear all the things that you love unless it’s about the painting thank you.

[@JackiePeacock]

Thanks for the feedback, Beverly.

[@loribrewer4822]

I love hearing about all your insights as well as WHY and WHAT you prefer for each tutorial, it's both encouraging and enlightening , you have such a soothing and warm voice,. ,. Beverly I would hate to have you miss any of her tutorials , however maybe enjoy her creativity on MUTE?@@JackiePeacock

[@yiwenyoga9617]

I’m going to try paint this. Thank you so much!
