Hello all! I'm an artist and teacher mostly using youtube as a way for my students to have easy access to demo videos. Forgive me for my videos not having a lot of polish, I am in no way a photographer or professional! Just trying to share techniques and tips that I find useful. I'm a costume designer, craftsperson, puppet and mask builder, sculptor, painter, and illustrator. I work in a variety of mediums,
Hello! These brushes are the round set from Polina Bright. I also love some very similar ones from Davinci Brushes that I enjoy using. Hope that helps!
I was trying to figure out how to paint a sheer window curtain to help frame an outdoor scene in a small painting. Your video was a tremendous help thank you!
Wonderful demo highlighting the characteristics of watercolor. Love this medium. Please share the source for those wonderful Chinese brushes. Blessings.
Oh my goodness. This is first time I have watched demonstration on how to paint clothes!, wonderful! So much appreciated. Thankyou for sharing. The brushes you are using are amazing! I couldn’t make out makers names but I’d love to have a go at this :) I’m very new to watercolour painting.
In water, acrylic pigment can sometimes settle out or run, so it gets that grainy texture. With a medium, the pigment remains suspended and has a more level treatment. I use both depending on what effect I am going for at the time. In this instance, I want even coverage, and to be able to control the concentration as I feather the edges. :)
Anna, this was a fabulous video with excellent commentary on your thought process - not only regarding watercolor aspects, but also fashion! You are a wonderful teacher and I'm grateful that you shared your skills with people like me who are eager to learn. Thank you!
Thank you for this video! And answering a question I’ve been asking for months! Question, how long did you let the grey tones alcohol markers dry before adding watercolor?
Hello! I didn't wait too long. Since the paper is absorbent, it does absorb more of the ink than marker paper. I wait until it's not cool to the touch and doesn't smell like alcohol. Really, just a few minutes.
@@annawooden8408 I'm pretty sure that's it! Let's say instead of using 4 different red shades, from lightest to darkest, you do the shading in all Grey and then take one lighter color red and color over top of it essentially achieving the same effect, is that basically what it does?
This is watercolor paint and I’m so glad that it was helpful. I won’t be doing more acrylic demos until next quarter around January, sadly, I’m teaching watercolors right now. Good luck with your class!
This is very useful. I have been trying to build depth in clothing with a wet on dry, but it almost always leads to very jagged lines around the second layer. I will try this next.
SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR VIDEO! I'm getting ready to paint some white sheer curtains that have little designs on them, and this video helped me out immensely!
Hi, Anna, I enjoyed your short brick coloring video. I'm hoping you can help me break the code with how to make the tiles in a black and white mosaic drawing look more 3D. May I send you the the drawing so you can see what I'm talking about. As it is now, it just looks so 2D. Thanks in advance, Mark
Anna cannot understand how you don't have more subscribers as your instruction is so helpful and straightforward with such good end results. Some put up instruction videos with no real understanding that they are passing on next to no genuine advice. Glad to see that you go on regardless and I sincerely hope one day your number of subscribers match your efforts.
Hey, thanks! I'm a teacher and posting for my students, so it's just a fluke that they're all up on youtube. I really appreciate the kindness though, and happy painting to you!
This was actually perfect, weird that there are so few views. My instinct would be to simply use a black/gray for shadows but I guess that doesn't work so well with warmth (also the black can become brownish/dirty). So how do you pick the shadow tints?
Glad that it was helpful! I use cool tones to help my shadows recede. if you’re layering them on top of a warm color, try to find a cool color that you can use to deepen the value. I often use Payne’s gray, deep indigo, and violet for my shadows. Happy painting!
I appreciate that you have posted a ton of 'how-to' information with various paint mediums on your channel for that you've earned a new sub! Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Sorry if it's too low for you! It sounds loud on my computer, but I'm in no way an expert at recording or sound. I make these for my students, so I'm a bit novice in the videographer department. Thanks for dropping in and letting me know! I'll look into bumping my volume for later videos.
