I thought everything was lost with me talking about watercolor. I found this tutorial and now, eventhough I made a few mistakes, I feel proud of my results.

This is a great little project and a nice tutorial. I followed along and made a decent attempt - I would suggest that perhaps in future videos you could explain where exactly you are adding the paint in the 2nd and 3rd layers (and where you aren't) and why, as that was where my attempt fell apart a bit. I wasn't entirely sure where the light vs. shadow should fall on something that had its own internal light source. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and I hope you plan to share more tutorials.

Thank you so much! I always have trouble layering my watercolors. This video was easy to follow and understand. Thank you!

Love the lights...need to try this

@candybourgeois6916 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for explaining the layering of deepening shades and using the opposite color on the color wheel. I need to practice patience in letting things dry!

@nellkrams3698 7 месяцев назад

I love it!! The fact that you used your color wheel….great reminder on how to darken your colors. I’ve missed our chats. Hope all is well with you and your four legged painting companion❤️🐾🐾❤️. I would love to see more tutorials like this….some detailed, others more quick and easy. Perhaps something that could be painted and used as a small picture or maybe used to paint on a card. You do a lot of underpainting in some of your objects, maybe something using that, or like you did with your Christmas lights. ( Which I plan to paint and use as a small picture to put around during the holidays.). Thank you so much for this great tutorial (from a great teacher!!). Please keep in touch! Nell.

I might suggest making the caps and wires tree green, as most light sets do have green wires. Really nice bulbs though!!

This is great. I just signed up for your online classes and find your instructions so easy to follow with great explanations. I learned something within the first few minutes of your watercolor 101 class, that I had wondered about. I am a newbie but enjoy your work so much.

@tonyaahn540 6 месяцев назад

Great at teaching building up color with contrasting colors! Cute little exercise that gets in my art fix for the day.

@45salf 6 месяцев назад

Excellent beginner explanation of value or tone to create 3d effect. Using complimentary color to darken vs. Paynes gray is much more pleasing. My biggest challenge is preserving highlights if not drawn in or using masking fluid.

@manelfernando3004 7 месяцев назад

Thanks. Enjoyed watching it. Beautiful and l will try it too. ❤

@kaymerrill8334 7 месяцев назад

I love this! I'm new at water colors....mainly greeting cards and this layering technique is exactly what I've been needing...like the depth it produces.

I can’t wait to try this! ❤️ Mallory Jane, would you be able to start adding which brushes & paints you use in the description box? I’m a newbie, so I need a bit of help in knowing which products I need. Having it in the description box would make it easier to reference. Thank you!

@MalleryJane 7 месяцев назад

Yes, I can start doing that!

@sandyc2468 7 месяцев назад

Great tutorial! Thank you! I'm not as confident as you are at leaving those white highlights so I'll use a wee bit of masking fluid!! lol

@kathyquinones1984 7 месяцев назад

A great lesson in complimentary shadows! I've been trying compliments as underpaintings with some success but your process seems fool-proof.. and a holiday card taboot ❣️🦙

@MalleryJane 7 месяцев назад

Thank you so much! It definitely takes some practice getting the mixes right plus there’s so many blues and oranges to mix together (same with all the other colors) it can create slightly different results. I’m glad you’re trying it out and having success!

Love this idea and design! So pretty! 🤩 And the great advice about darkening the colours. But the placement of the shadows confused me as it looks like the light is coming from several different directions?? 🤔

@LCNazarene 7 месяцев назад

Very nice work. Do you prefer the Derwent Inktense paint over traditional watercolor? If so, why?

@candybourgeois6916 7 месяцев назад

What kind/brand of dryer are you using? I'm currently using a hair dryer but want to find something a little more gentle on my paintings.

@ashleywright8686 7 месяцев назад

What are watercolor paint names you used to make the color wheel?

@amph4474 7 месяцев назад

I find hard edges to be difficult, too. I think they look fine when other artists do them, but when I do them, I feel like my painting looks fake.

@MalleryJane 7 месяцев назад

Hard edges are tricky! I will make a future video specifically on this topic.

@amph4474 7 месяцев назад

I just watched this again and wondered if you have to leave hard edges. Would it not look right if you blended out every layer? I just have such an aversion to the hard edges. In my mind, it seems like it would be better to soften all the edges.
