Hello! Wonderful video as usual. I really enjoy your content. Very informative very inspirational. Just a side note on the Magic Eraser, artists beware of buying Magic Eraser with either detergent or fragrance added. These can potentially alter the composition of your surface sizing and mix with your paints. The original fragrance/detergent-free Magic Eraser can be a painting saver and add some amazing highlights and texture!!! Happy texturizing!!!! And thanks again, Oto, for such amazing videos!!!!🎨🖌️💕💕😄

@OtoKano 6 лет назад

Wow I had no idea you can get scented and detergent included magic erasers! Mind. Blown. Thanks for the heads up Pam, I'm going to pin your comment so everyone can see it.

Magic Erasers are abrasive, so avoid using them on delicate countertops such as marble and granite. Not only can you damage the sealant but the eraser may make the countertop appear dull. All of these cleaning products can cause more harm than good.

@dianecuthbertson2686 4 года назад

Debra Polenz it’s not a cleaning product, why would you use it on your kitchen tops?

@Uglyartworks 4 года назад

@@dianecuthbertson2686 magic eraser is awesome to clean floors.

@scottwalker2398 2 года назад

You're like the mad scientist of amazing new things to try with watercolors. I'm still marveling at your multi part color theory series. No one's come close to explaining color theory with your depth and clarity. I love your channel, and thanks for taking what must be a lot of time to share your techniques, insights and discoveries.

@ruthinman6921 5 лет назад

For Bubble Printing... you might try taking your paper and setting it face down on the bowl you have just blown bubbles into. Easier than trying to put the bubbles onto the paper.

@wendyklein356 Месяц назад

Thankyou and yes it would be easier!

@DadBodDrumming 3 года назад

The magic eraser seems like a great way to add in light rays.

@FuriedHearts 4 года назад

The magic eraser thing is crazy. Did you hear about that somewhere or did you just discover that? Because that's a super effective way of lifting. I bet you could attach a tiny piece of the eraser to the end of a brush for fine details.

@nickyd41 5 лет назад

Using a teflon “bone” folder to burnish the paper after using the magic eraser usually gets a paintable surface again. This works even for removing staining colors such as reds from the paper

@rebekahcrossman4690 Год назад

Fun video, clear and concise - thank you. I think the results from the baking sheet surprised me the most - it’s stunning! I can’t wait to try out some swampy water looks❤️

@rebeccamccaslin7258 4 года назад

I taught art in middle school for a lifetime and WISH now I had known these techniques then, so I could have shared. Next lifetime. Thanks, it was an engaging and enjoyable demonstration.

What a fantastic instruction! Looking forward to trying the techniques, especially the one with bubbles! Thank you for getting right to the point and not wasting time with babble that fills so many instructive videos - wonderful instruction!

@grittykitty50 4 года назад

What fun! I liked them all, but the gauze, the rice, and the making fluid were my favorites. Thanks for sharing.

@DSmith-pc9jn 4 года назад

Loved the video. I was a sculptor but now mostly paint. When I sculpted I used texture all the time and it really excited me. I'm enjoying texturing in watercolor as I love special effects. They offer many opportunities for happy accidents and for a fresh look.

@antiquemacabre6815 4 года назад

Oh, these are such fun and creative ideas! I have to say that the bubble technique is my favourite. Thank you for the great inspiration.

@lainieholland 5 лет назад

Brilliant, I love the way you demo them. I have used many of these textural techniques over the years but always good for a refresher and for new artists to see the wonder of texture in water colour. You are an inspiration. Particularly like the way you did the bubbles by dragging them off with a straw, much better than taking individual bubbles at the end of the straw!!!! You are very generous, thank you.

@OtoKano 5 лет назад

Oh gosh, yes I agree with you, doing individual bubbles would take ages!

@lorijones9579 5 лет назад

For the salt water, I have a lot of success using a lot more salt, dissolved into hot water that is allowed to cool, and painting with it instead of regular water. I don't use my best brushes and I use dabs of paint on a white ceramic plate instead of my regular palette, but it can produce some wonderful textures.

@OtoKano 5 лет назад

wooo that sounds interesting, thank you for your tip Lori :)

@lindyashford7744 6 лет назад

The pen and masking fluid are definitely something I will experiment with, but I also loved the rice effect and think a quite deliberate patterning could be achieved with it, also intrigued by the random effect of the baking sheet. Thanks for always opening up new possibilities.
