I always underestimate how much you have to water down watercolor and I start way too bold and just like you said I get more blobs and lose all my white paper and end up trying to lift color off. I’m going to practice keeping in mind your suggestions. Thank you!!!

Mmm. As far as the gradient wash goes, I actually like the muddy one of the pink and yellow - ok, its nowhere near as clean but it has interesting tertiary colours in there. My problem is panic, mainly - I tend to plough ahead when I make mistakes then try to fix them when Ive chilled out a bit. I often can't and then it tends to spiral. The planning thing is something I absolutely do - its why it can take weeks for me to get a painting done, lol. Interesting video, thankyou. :o)
@simpleshoes
@simpleshoes 2 года назад
I like it the best too. To me that’s letting the colours mingle and do their own thing. That’s not getting mud.
@Feenix102
@Feenix102 2 года назад
@@simpleshoes yeah. I guess its the difference between creating an effect on purpose and a mistake - if you wanted a clean gradient and ended up with the mixture then I can see how that might be annoying.

Thank you, Ellen, for actually showing us the difference between the right way and the wrong way.Many times when you start this journey of learning to watercolor, you know the "rule," but you really can’t visualize it. This was a great lesson. I am indeed grateful.

HI Ellen. I watch all of you watercolor videos over and over and learn something new every time. This one is helpful for carefully starting with a light wash and adding paint after it is dry. I think I have been too heavy handed and my results are wonky!! You are so generous with your art and inspiration. Thank you.

These are some of the most useful tips I’ve received. I am fairly new to watercolor. I haven’t had a chance to take any classes, so everything I’ve learned has come from You-Tube. I really liked the tip regarding layering your colors. I usually “wing it” and my flowers end up looking like your first example. I never have understood that you build your colors. Thank you Ellen. This was all very helpful. Cannot wait to practice all these tips.

Thank you so much for this video. I just became interested in watercolor last January when I came across a box set of water color tubes, half pans and pencils on sale at my local Michaels. I’ve been watching many videos and trying my hand at painting ever since then. As I was trying to paint Christmas cards it became very apparent that the paper made all the difference. I painted your angel with the trumpet and was upset hat the blues in my background didn’t blend together like yours. I figured it was just me. Next I tried a starry sky and it looked terrible. The paint bled into areas where it shouldn’t have and the colors didn’t blend together. I de😊cided to break out the pad of Arches paper I had bought a while back and cut it to card size. What a difference! I plan on trying your angel again on Arches paper. I’m going to try and paint some cards and gift tags now so I am ready for next year. I am so appreciative of the videos you and other professionals put out on RU-vid. You’re making dreams attainable!
