We will be painting a very furry baby panda, a good subject for learning how to create great wet-on-wet watercolor paintings.
As in all of this series, colors are limited to just three - Winsor Blue (Red Shade), Permanent Rose, and Winsor Lemon. All are Winsor and Newton colors. Only two brushes are used - size 8 and size 12. Also painting size is limited to just 11" x 7.5". These constraints are to keep costs down while the student decides if watercolor is for them. If they do decide to continue then the number of colors and brushes will be increased in future more advanced videos.
If you are a beginner, and this is the first of my videos in this series you are watching, then I highly recommend that you go back and begin at Watercolor Class One and do the exercises in each. These exercises are what I used to put my beginner face-to-face students through, before allowing them to progress to more advanced subjects. Even now, before a student, new to watercolor, can join my online class they have to first prove they have studied and applied this beginner lessons. In this way, new students are able to more easily join my more advanced classes.
I also have a couple of watercolor painting books which I published and distribute through Amazon.
The first one, which has sold over 10,000 copies is bascially my teaching manual and is titled:
Mastering Watercolors - A Practical Guide.
The second is full of step by step demonstrations and is titled: Watercolor Step By Step: amzn.to/3z4YXEu
Both books are available in kindle format and paperback.

I loved this tutorial, Joe! I love pandas and I have this one on my wall here. It was wonderful to see how you actually painted this this cute little animal!

Hi Janice, lovely to hear from you. Forgot you had one of these paintings. :-)

[@MastiffMike1]

As the owner of 3 huge fluffy dogs, this knowledge will be helpful if I try painting them. Thanks!

Yes, I thought it would put a smile on some faces. :-)

Joe, when painting wet on wet, how do make sure that you don’t get cauliflowers? Is is all about the thickness of the paint you are adding on to the already wet area?

[@JoeCartwright]

Hi Riesa, cauliflowers happen when your try to paint into damp paint with wetter paint in your brush. If the paper has a shine on it, then no cauliflowers - it is at the damp stage that cauliflowers can happen. If you need to work into damp paint, then just make sure you either use thicker paint, or work with a brush that is not very wet. Timing is obviously very critical. I will be doing a video on this subject in the future as some things are much easier to explain visually.

[@irmareitz701]

You are such a great teacher. I just love your tutorials! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Is it possible to leave a small copy of the reference somewhere above where you are painting? Such a fun subject. My grandchildren will love it.

[@JoeCartwright]

Thanks Irma, yes I meant to add that - not always possible without the reference getting in the way. Unfortunately I cannot add it now as I cannot edit the video like that once it is uploaded. I suggest you just stop the video at the reference image, then take a screen shot and print that.

[@irmareitz701]

@@JoeCartwright yes thanks that is a good idea.

@@frankclarkjr6369 Hi Frank, we live next to some bushland and we have had the odd frog visit inside, so that could be the culprit. 🙂 Glad you are enjoying my videos. Many thanks for the feedback.
