People have been doing this sort of thing for a long time, without using the reverse coloring name. It's fun to do. I don't think I'd buy a book for it since I prefer to do my own. Throw paint on a page, let it dry, come back to it in a week or so and just draw on it. I think yours turned out really pretty.

@KristyRice 2 года назад

Yes absolutely! I have two videos where I create my own page to doodle on! Good for the author for putting a name to it and giving those who need it readymade pages :)

@jilld.268 2 года назад

I bought the first book and have been afraid to start using it because I am so bad at drawing. I am WAY overthinking it. I love your recommendation to start by drawing around the watercolor wash for those of us who are stuck. I’ll try that tonight. Watching my young daughter explore her artistic side has reminded me that I have really pushed that away as I have gotten older. But I am determined to continue to encourage her to honor that part of herself, and to find it back within me. Thank you for your videos!

@KristyRice 2 года назад

Also just make marks, don’t think of it as drawing :) Use broader tipped markers so you can’t get hung up in the detail!

@BlessedForever888 2 года назад

This is the very first time I have ever heard of reverse colouring! It's very intriguing! Thank you Kristy!

@ardengrey7 2 года назад

I do reverse painting a lot, especially when I'm not necessarily feeling myself when making a card for someone else. Often I find myself doing it in my classes too. I'll do some little splotch of the marker on my binder then take my finger and make little splotches on my paper. Then I just turn it into what I see. I often like how it turns out because it's abstract and quite calming.

@KristyRice 2 года назад

Love, love, love it!

@truepeace3 2 года назад

This is similar to what my niece, who’s an artist, does sometimes! She uses acrylics, but thins them down to the point where her style of art resembles watercolor. But what she’ll do is just paint loose designs, shapes, blobs, etc. on the paper, then let her imagination take over. She’s a very whimsical artist with a fun, colorful and loose style. And she loves to use dark scribble lines in her work. It’s really lovely how she pulls it all together! 🌷🖼 🎨

@KristyRice 2 года назад

Gosh! I want to watch you draw in the whole book! Thanks, I may have to buy it so I can get more confident with results from those lovely backgrounds. Great idea!

@jodycourt 2 года назад

Hey Kristy! Yes! I have done reverse coloring, but not in a book. I sometimes lay down some splotchy watercolor onto a page and after it dries, I go back in with markers -- usually black and often white. And often adding in more color like you did here. I LOVE this process. Thanks for sharing this with us.

@KristyRice 2 года назад

You bet!

@PlayfullyPainting 2 года назад

A common technique among watercolorist and mixed media artist and I love it. Thanks for sharing the tips.

@Goldi-Luc 2 года назад

i didn't realize this had a name! it is one of my favorite ways to paint. i really love the effect as i can paint wildly, loosely and then tighten and refine it with the black or white pen afterwards. (sometimes with acrylic paint pens and rarely with fine sharpies too if i need a particular color.) it is one of my favorite ways to make greeting cards for family and friends.

@KristyRice 2 года назад

Perfect!

@gabrielleannacormierart 2 года назад

I can see how it could be fun and therapeutic to have a book like this! I often do this intuitively in my abstract art and I guess in my art in general. Building layers and details is such a fun part of the creative process. Your finished piece turned out really pretty and that bright green you added at the end really brought it together. Thank you for sharing ❤️

@Grammarobinsongmail 2 года назад

I haven’t done reverse coloring exactly. I have done something like this with my grands paintings. I’ve found all kinds of animals and objects. They got such a kick out of it. I just used a pencil. But I have done the same idea with negative painting with watercolor. I think it’s great fun. It seems to develop your imagination and your ability to see wonderful images in very subtle ways.

@KristyRice 2 года назад

So so fun!! XO

@jodycourt 2 года назад

I do this with the grandkids too. We splotch paint around, let it dry, and then try to find animals and fish and funny creatures. It's a blast!

@Goldi-Luc 2 года назад

@@jodycourt i gotta try that with my niece, she loves art projects and i am always looking for new ideas for her.

@orchdork775 Год назад

I used to do something kinda like this with mod podge and charcoal. I'd splatter some mod podge on the page and use a palette knife to drag it around and create lots of texture, and then when it dried I would lightly go over the page with some charcoal to define the shapes that the mod podge made. Then I would look and see what I could recognize in the shapes, and then I would bring those things to life by adding watercolor, acrylic paint and any medium I felt like. I always thought of it like I was taking snapshot of my own mind by doing an artistic version of an ink blot test and then capturing it on the page. It's really fun to do when you aren't feeling creative or just can't think of anything to paint, and it always comes out looking cool. The charcoal adds an interesting depth and texture when mixed with watercolor, and it was great for creating dark and creepy looking paintings. You can always forgo the charcoal and go straight in with watercolor to get a lighter look, though, or do any other variation you can think of. I definitely feel like this would be a good art therapy exercise to do, because there's no pressure to create a specific result, so you're just going with the flow and letting your subconscious guide you.

@reiki11 2 года назад

Absolutely LOVE this method! I always see different items (creatures, 🌺 flowers. etc) in patterns and colors.

@KristyRice 2 года назад

Me too! It's like looking for things in the clouds!

@Suzy373 2 года назад

I had never heard of reverse colouring until now but last year I did a similar thing but I made funny cartoon ish animals out of the shapes rather than flowers. I keep it on my fridge because it makes me smile. I’m 62 🤣

I've done my own reverse coloring as I am a doodle lover but still I like the idea of having the pages already done for those times when I just want to zone out and not use/create my own background. I ordered 2 of these books (before seeing your video) and am excited to get them. I think these books are a great idea.

I kind of figured what you have shown before with fineliners and paint was the same thing. I have seen a few vids where people have done similar with small squares and washes then using the lines from the watercolor to find patterns. Actually tried this myself just the other day. It was fun. 😁

@mollygundies6966 2 года назад

As I'm sorting out my 'style' this approach appeals to me, A LOT!

@paulinejones178 2 года назад

I used to do something like this, years ago, but with landscapes, lines and sploges of colour onto wet paper, let them dry and see what I saw in them, all my Christmas cards were made that way, (in the 1990's).

@KristyRice 2 года назад

Awesome!

@Grammarobinsongmail 2 года назад

I have done this with my grands watercolor paintings using a pencil. They were so excited to see the outlines of the images that I found in their paintings. I’ve also done negative watercolor painting with and without stencils and pulling up color.

@KristyRice 2 года назад

That is awesome!

@mondayschild229 2 года назад

Thanks for showing this method of “painting.” This is such a great way for folks who have been afraid to try their hand at doing their own wc paintings. (I have done this myself before…see my earlier message.) I think it’s an “encourager” or “helper” method for those who really want to move on to more serious pieces that are “all theirs,” but just don’t know where to start. Of course, it’s also just good fun for anyone who wants to play around and create some art. 😊

@betsyulbrich7362 2 года назад

I didn’t know this was a thing! I accidentally started doing this by accident…when I started watercolor…not long ago…I began doing washes with colors I liked sort of mixed. I saw things form in my intuitive mind and began drawing around them with pens….made some very pretty art, not knowing what I was doing! Really surprised myself. ❤️🐝

@KristyRice 2 года назад

Wonderful!

@roden70 2 года назад

This is nice Kristy! On another channel watercolorist Steve Mitchel shows how he makes a loose wash and then he does linework on top of it with sometimes some glazing. He calls this spontanious paintings and they turn out really nice.

@KristyRice 2 года назад

So this video rocked my brain. I immediately went and dug into my stash of "stuff I painted that isn't too horrible but stays in the storage box" and found two pieces that needed some love. I've now revived three pieces that were a great coloring book background page. I have fallen back in love with my colored markers. I am NOT interested in digging through the internet for art trends, but when you do these challenges I feel like you're curating the most enjoyable parts of "keeping up with the grams" and it's doing wonders for my mental health to have these fun techniques and new explorations "Kristy-fied".

@corbinkramer6228 2 года назад

I suppose this is fun for folks who like cute washy florals or cute soft illos. I have a hard time with this method as I tend need much more structure, I do mostly portraits and fantasy illustrations and things that need a specific pallet or structure. I am sure this kind of coloring book is good for a warm up. But I know I'll get frustrated if I don't know what values or hues I need for an art pieces

@KristyRice 2 года назад

Absolutely, it's def not for everyone :) I would challenge you though, as someone who presumably loves realism, to go in to something like this with your style and a limited palette and see what happens! Going hyper-realistic over a washy background could be incredible!

@nancyloomis3046 2 года назад

I’ve done this before….I just didn’t call it “reverse painting” or know to call it that. It can really help to give definition to your paintings or wannabe paintings when you just can’t get your mojo together to do your base outline drawing…or it can be done intentionally….especially if you have lots of details that may be overwhelming.

@KristyRice 2 года назад

Yes and thanks for sharing!
