I love the fact that you were expecting just a coloring book and happily paid $60 for it.

[@drawingwiffwaffles]

I knew it came with the palette and watercolors, but I didn't know it came with the extras paints and the paintbrushes. and the other stuff. haha I also thought it was going to be a little bit more handmade. so it was a trade-off I guess. haha

This colouring book seems legit. Its great for practicing watercolour and also all of those scenes from Italy are really inspiring. Italy’s such a beautiful country and I’m always wanting to paint it!

[@kitsunebushi]

I'm not at all great at watercolors, but I have to say THIS KIT LOOKS AMAZING FOR BEGINNERS! There's so many small things that can cause someone to struggle with learning, and this kit fixes so many of those. That mixing tray is a scrubbed plastic, meaning you can spread the color out without it "beading" up like 99% of palettes. The brushes are good quality, the paper looks nice and thick, and the paints seem to be artist quality. These sketches help you make something nice AND learn, and it even talks you through how much water and such. God I think this kit would have saved me a good $100+ in wasted supplies/frustrations!

[@lisahoffman5846]

In case no one has mentioned this....don't scrub or clean your palette! let the watercolors dry, then just give them a light spray with a water bottle when you're ready to use them again. Loving your videos!

[@MsLamictal]

Hey Rin...I just started using watercolours myself, and I cannot stress enough that you should use two water containers. One for cleaning your brushes, and the other to wet your brush and use in mixing. That insures the vibrancy of colours and you don't risk muddying them up. If you used one off camera disregard my comment :) Also for a flat wash, I've noticed it goes down much better if you wet the surface with clean water (not much, just so you sort of 'prime' the paper) prior to laying down the watercolour, plus it's best using a prepared watercolour by which I mean you dilute it on your palette. Lastly, USE swatch cards...cannot stress how important it is to test your colour before you put it to paper. Hope any of this is useful, good luck and happy painting :) Hope you're having a nice holiday time :3 ps would be great if you made this a series

[@dianacortes4253]

THANK YOU MY LORD AND SAVIOR! I just started painting bc I suck at it and that is a great tip! My colors get really dull and gross. Thanks!

[@witchhxzel]

while this was really good, and i love how excited you were to do it and learn, there was one little issue with your painting technique. you were using the brush as if it's a colored pencil or marker, which kind of iffs up the smoothness of the paint. instead, try doing smooth, even strokes one by one instead of scrubbing like you did. also, make sure to utilize the smaller paint brush for little details like the flowers and shading on the leaves! aside from that, this is great and i can't wait to see if you experiment more with painting in the future!

[@dewybeam5542]

Helpful info ^__^

[@dewybeam5542]

And its true, painting needs even MORE mindgulness/meditation to turn out really good :3

[@danielandsarahdraper8157]

Well I learned something today!

[@ABIXWEEZY]

Right she often paints as if the brush she's holding is just another marker.from layering to blending she doesnt use a different technique other than the ones she knows instead of trying to branch out and learning actual watercolor.

[@Lemu_with_a_shirt]

@@ABIXWEEZY I don't think it's fair to say she doesn't try. It can be really hard to change up your entire technique if you're fully comfortable with one. It's something you first have to learn, which, not many people talk about this. And then you have to learn and practice applying said new technique. It takes time and effort.

[@ajira3419]

i never thought id hear dainty and maggots in the same sentence

[@pendlera2959]

@Maroxa Mawson "Maggots" is not the correct term; Waffles is just joking. We call it "crinkly paper" too.

[@wulfseig1864]

Wow, love that kit. I've been playing with watercolors for 3 years but still learning. I like your first one the best. Tip: Hold your brush straight up and down and use more water. Steps would be water on brush, make a small puddle of water on the palette then pick up paint with the brush and mix in the water. Then you paint from those puddles of color. Not the paint blobs. You did an awesome job. Looks nice and painterly. Love your channel. Off to Etsy to see these kits.

I noticed that you’re painting as though you’re using a marker. Maybe be a little more gentle and do less scrubbing back and forth when you’re painting, you’ll get a more consistent and smooth wash and lines. The fewer strokes, the better so you don’t abuse the paper.

[@themonsterarts7091]

Honestly I love this! For the amount of materials you're getting I would say that $60 is underpricing by a long shot. Not only is the painting book itself full of tutorial information, it gives you TWO copies to paint on instead of one. Not only that you get the reference image AND the artist's OWN WORK. To me, that painting book alone is worth way more than $60! Adding on all of the good quality materials they've provided you with I would be willing to shell out at least $100 and would not even bat an eye if they wanted more. It's so easy to see a lot of effort and thought went into this kit and if I had the funds right now I'd be buying one for myself immediately! [EDIT] I understand this is a black friday sale but seriously I would totally pay full price. It is so worth it.

Hey Waffles, here’s a tip my art teacher taught us. To get a nice even wash try the technique called “running a bead.” You start on one side of the drawing and with your paper raised and titled in the direction you want the wash to go. From the starting corner you go left and right as you go down, make sure to keep the paint wet where your brush is to keep the transition a nice and smooth.

[@alkoret]

Don't wash off the palette! Keep reactivating the colors and using them, that's the beauty of watercolors! Sure some things may eventually get muddy but the reason the picture looks cohesive is because you mixed everything with the umbers and it desaturated and gave everything a more natural hue. You can keep adding pigment to the same blotches and making them either more vibrant or more desaturated depending what you add to it. Burnt sienna is great for this as well, if you do other paintings outside this book! But yes, watercolors are expensive, so keep using your palette instead of wiping off all that lovely mixed paint!

Same. I got a couple of the packs, and I've never used brush markers before so I picked them out by watching a bunch of videos and based on the moderate price - and the fact that I had no skin tones in my regular markers and Tombow has that skin tone "Portrait" pack. I have only swatched them and tried a little blending so far. I definitely want to find some tips on how to do the blending. Also, I completely blanked on checking what kinds of paper they work best with, so I need to find some info on that and do more experimenting with the couple types of paper I have.

[@ilsev4795]

@@del_eris depends on what you want. Blending works really well with a waterbrush or just a simple paintbrush with water, but be sure to use watercolour paper. I always love the heavy kind, 200grams or 300grams. Anything thinner warps on me and I hate it when that happens. If you just want to write with them, or decorate, the paper does not need to be that thick. I also use them in a bulletjournel with 80gram pages which works fine, just don't blend on that thin paper.

I would love to see more of the coloring book painted ^^

I honestly think your first window is better than even the original, I like the darker yellow makes it look so much more interesting ♥️

This reminds me of a Scrawlrbox! This is the key thing to make you a better (your already really good) watercolor artist! You are my inspiration to draw and whenever I don't want to get up in the morning I remember that I can watch your AMAZING videos! Love you Waffles! 💕💞

$60!! That’s a lot for s coloring book!!! Oh wait it’s a watercolor kit. That’s really cool! Love you waffles!!

[@moekabuan7202]

just a little tip. It’s easier to work with light to dark rather than dark to light in water colors. btw luv your vids 🤠🤠

[@firlefranzi]

I actually like the first attempt! It is more colorful and kind of impressionistic.

[@jasminefarahat2940]

I would love for this to be a series. Upload more videos of you working on this colouring book! This was fun to watch and very informative.

[@taylors1030]

I personally like the first window more than the other one, just because I like the yellower colour in the background and I like the shading and the darker colours more!!! I’d love to see another one of these videos because you are just soooooo good at painting and drawing and your art is just really nice to look at!!!!👌🏻👍🏻😄😎
