Watercolor Tutorial- Testing New Aquadrop by Schmincke

Had a bit of fun painting a more or less monochromatic piece with the new Aquadrop liquid watercolors by Schmincke. How do they look? How do they perform? And while we are at it I explain some techniques that help me constantly with my artwork.




Questions about materials, brushes, colors, paper etc.?
Ink / Colors / Material used:
Watercolor (Aquadrop by Schmincke), and Pencil on Hahnemühle Britannia hotpressed watercolor paper (300g)
17x 24 cm
about 2 hours

Color: *bleeds into skin*
Laovaan: So you have chosen death?

This character is adorable, I love the design. It's always refreshing to see someone paint semi-realism with a dash of anime thrown in to spice up the visual appeal!

It is really nice to see an artist who uses watercolour with more softness instead of edges

When the hair color bled into the skin it looked like one of those cool corrupted characters.

Everyone always says watercolors are to be used in patches and I was always like "no I like to do soft edges" and now I see my style of watecolor is similar to yours! That makes me SO happy, you are an inspiration 😄

I don't usually comment on videos but i've been going trough tough times and that channel as been my little dirty pleasure for months now, and i've learned so much about art. And as i was discovering more and more about it, i started to learn more about myself and how to express my self trough that media, but the most valuable lesson that i've learn was that everybody can better themselfs, as an artist of course but as a person, as well, so from the bottom of my heart thank you. I'll be forever grateful.

"With watercolors you need to be fast"
yeah... that explains why i know how to draw only with colored pencils...

[lindale]

This tutorial was both interesting to watch and incredibly helpful to learn from. Thank you for your amazing work!!

[Fidrina]

Your advice is so good and clear which can be applied to watercolour too

[ohbli_oh]

The blues and lightweight pigment particles work well with traditional heavy earth granulating watercolours etc to make beautiful separating washes, a little like schmincke forest colours or Daniel smith moonglow etc.

Another great tutorial and artwork! Thanks for the great help! I've been interested in these aqua drops and now I'm convinced! Definitely going to pick a few up!

[MAXXWORX]

Well done.
I have the basic set and two extra colors. But haven't had the time to work with them, just tried them a little bit. I like them. And awesome for an airbrush!

[GarudaLP]

Es is jedesmal einfach hammer entspannend dir beim malen zu zusehen. Wieder ein wunderschönes Bild geworden, hoffe ich kann eines tages auch so gut Malen und Zeichnen :)
