In this video, I'll show you some of the supplies and marks I love to add over an already dried watercolour background. Towards the end of the video, I'll show you how I like to play with collage, in the beginning stages.
I'm so happy I found your channel - I just love love love your work - we have similar styles and thought processes for sure - enjoy learning from you as well. I love using metallic gold, silver, bronze and rose gold in every piece I do. I'm trying to discover what marks I like. I too love dots and lines and rainbows. I'm an owl lover though and haven't yet figured out how to add a small tiny owl silhouette to them as one of my signature "things" - yet anyway and My favorite color is purple so I use a lot of various purples in my work. LOL!! I am a newbie to watercolor. I've junk journaled and done collage for years. I love this particular painting - does anyone else see in the top left corner a person? Side-view, nose, open mouth like they are singing with their hair sweeping down like long bangs and the rest in a bun in the back of the head? Love the shapes watercolors make on their own.
I just started playing with watercolour and just love it. You are so inspiring. Just love, love your work and the colours you use as the sketching. Thank you so much. I’m 77 years old and this makes me feel when I was 8-9 years old. So much fun.
I have the same exact sweater!. I love your tutorials, you are an inspiration to my art process. It’s summer as I’m seeing this, so I’ll shout out to you this winter when I do a video in my sweater lol😊
You are doing fine. We love learning from you. So relax and just let your spirit flow. And you don’t always need to keep explaining….just let us watch your process. Slow down and stop talking so much. We’re listening with our eyes. Of course tell us about the supplies and what effect they have. But the constant chatter interrupts my absorption of your technique. I feel like I’ve had too much coffee. Chill. We love you.💕
I liked the book "Steal Like and Artist" as well. Thanks for the tip about white markers for mark making. I have tried many and now I can stop my search and get more fun projects completed! 🙂
I absolutely love your work. I've been looking for someone who write over top of watercolors so that I could figure out what instruments to use. Thanks😊 Feel better soon.
If ever you're looking for fine-line pens that can cope with writing over watercolour (or even acrylic), I can recommend a set of 6 Pigma Microns, which you can pick up most places selling art/graphics supplies. The nibs are a range of widths, so can be nice for mark-making. 😊
Oh I just love your style !This really appeals to how I want to paint. I've only discovered your video by pure chance, but I'm subscribing because I have so much to learn from you. Thank you so much.
I am really enjoying your videos. They have inspired me to broaden my use of media. I started with your watercolor videos and began experimenting with watercolors I have. The idea of adding paper collage is very appealing to me. I guess I will try that too.😀TFS.
Just a suggestion. Can you please pan out some so we can see all of your work that you’re doing. I’m loving what you are doing, just wishing I could see everything you are doing. I love collage and this was so fun to watch. TFS. 😊
Love your style and love that you are sharing it with us!!Thank you! I also would like for your next video to show all of the page as I felt that I was straining to see the top, I know that it can’t be easy but would be more fulfilling to us viewers. Please do more! I have just found you, and something really resonated with me!! Thank you again!💕💕💕
Well, I guess it's always a trade-off between taking us in close, or showing the full page at all times. I thought Allison did a good job of striking the balance tbh, and she regularly moved her page around depending on which area she was focusing on, so I did feel I got a sense of the whole page. I know what you mean though, about straining your neck to see something off-screen - I do that all the time! Our brain - specifically the visual cortex - plays tricks on us.😉
@@221b-Maker-Street it actually only bothers me when she is actually working on the part that’s off screen. I am sure she is trying and I don’t mean to imply anything else.
Maybe if you pulled the camera up a bit the full piece would be in view. This is an awesome piece and I would like to be able to see it all as it evolved.
I really like your art and I've watched several of your videos in the last couple of days. Since you sell your work, do you seal it with any product, like a spray? P.S. I can't find the continuation of this, to see how you proceeded with the watercolor.
I love the gold Kuretake watercolours (Japanese brand that almost looks more like gauche (opaque watercolour). I also tend to mix with the Canadian brand "Stoneground Paint Co", gold watercolour in a pan. Hope that was the gold you meant?!
I liked the gold Uniball pen & was surprised when I clicked "more" to not see a list of supplies used so I could get specifics on it to order. I'm new to your RU-vid posts -- do you not include those details, or am I missing something? Thanks.
I have only been on RU-vid for about a month , if that. i am new to all of this. The Uniball signo pen is one that I bought at a local art store here in Calgary Alberta Canada. It was around $5.96CAD. and I believe it’s a Japanese brand.
@@allisondawrant thanks for replying. I hope you enjoy youtubing! I always look for specifics to see what the artist recommends & why (paper weight & brand, what millimeter is too wide/too narrow for a nib, etc). I appreciate your following up!
@@timh7246 thanks Tim! I hope to do a supply video soon but I tend to use a LOT of different ones and I mix and match in my practice:) I am not sponsored by anyone/ any company- So, the video content is a bit random. thanks for the nudge on supply details... I was at the local art store yesterday, and I tried a few of the non-metallic colours in the Uniball Signo pen, and I much prefer the metallics (gold and bronze). Not sure of the mm in size... but the coloured pens seem to be more narrow and harder to see. (I use them for going over dried watercolour and acrylic paint).
@@allisondawrant Talking happily about the products you love and listing them with links may get the attention of these companies, then they can sponsor you! How exciting!!
