Unfortunately there was a little mixup with my student's work credits: Instead of Esme Loasby it's Béliza Mendes Painting! You can find her Instagram here: @belizamendes
Less is totally more! And that *is* the hardest lesson to learn. For me, the second hardest lesson is to loosen up. I still struggle with too-tight paintings. Grrrr🤬🤬🤬
One very important thing you didn't mention is how important 100% cotton wc paper is when using watercolors. Imo, this is the most important tip & I'm not alone in that opinion. Love watching your videos, thank you!
OMG this Is beautiful, your way of creativity is so attractive and eye catching. One question if you don't mind can you show us how you sketch and tutorial
The "not be too perfect about details is a big one" Painting like a child takes a life time... A guy called Picasso said that 😄 And it is important to take care about paper about not to draw too much cause you can make imperfections when paint go over it... I did a painting BUT I didn't work out cause that... Good video! 👍🏼🙂
You explain things so well, and your voice is very calming. I am grateful to learn important skills with a medium I am not as experienced with. (I used to only use markers and colored pencils...but there is something SO magical about watercolor. ✨). Thank you so much :)
bout the texture...u cant rly well what to use and what not couse some ( me included ) like super rough texture on paper and an unpredictable way of colorfloating and spreading
You are really talented but also you are great teacher. Your advices reach the point so easy and effortlessly. If only I would be able to not seek a perfection... That sabotages my whole life 😅 Btw every new video I'm surprised you managed to improve once again!
Excellent tips! Thanks for sharing. I also create my drawings digitally before transferring them and it's hugely helpful, especially when using expensive paper. Have you ever tried printing directly into watercolor paper? I'm going to try but was curious if you have any experience. Thanks so much for the guidance!
Yes, i did! I used a laser printer with waterproof ink and the result was the lines wouldn't be covered by the watercolor or color pencils and remained dark and visible the whole time... 🥴🤦♀️
