I gotta say, this is absolutely useless for helping with watercolour. You’d be better off phrasing it as filling up a sketchbook idea. This tells me nothing about watercolour.

If anyone is curious, I believe the watercolors she’s using comes from one of the Super Vision Rock-Mica Layered Metallic Watercolor Pearlescent Color-Shifting Paint sets. Specifically, the Flower Fire set!

i hate videos like these
"I'm not gonna give you tips or explain what to do to get better, I'm going to hold your hand and walk you through the whole thing so you never get better and depend on these videos forever! Good luck!"

Her: “We’re just painting these circular kind of stripes”

Me: “Those are called “circles” hon.”

Remember: the key to getting better at watercolor is *understanding* watercolor. You can be a master in some mediums, but that doesn't necessarily translate to mastery in all mediums. Watercolor is partially transparent, lifts easily, and get streaky if you don't put fill the entire shape at once. With watercolors, you need to be loose, don't worry about perfection because the imperfection is what makes a watercolor painting a watercolor painting! Just get the broad shape right, you can add in more detail later. And always, always, always, let your paint dry all the way before adding another layer.

This video changed my life. I painted these circular kind of stripes some people call "circles" and now I am a watercolor master and my artworks are displayed in museums. Thank you.

"We're just painting these *circular* kind of stripes."

You see, that's the part where you've lost me.

"You think you suck at watercolor? Well heres a idea! Make some Target icons on your paper and overlap them with more Target icons"


Edit: I made this comment so long ago, whys it getting popular now lmao

Doing this won't help you improve on watercolours! Its just taking an easy path and doing simple things that won't develop your capabilities.

[ZenganTheFool]

Congrats, you helped 0 people get better at watercolor even tho the beginning made it sound like you were gonna help with getting better at watercolor, not just give one specific painting idea 😀

ALSO MAKE SURE ITS NOT JUST ANY SKETCHBOOK— the paper is important and if you don’t use the right type of paper it’ll bleed through pages and it’ll be a mess! Also make sure not to use too much water because watercolor is very flowing and sometimes does it’s own thing

“Make sure you just have colors that look nice together”
**picks the two colors that don’t match at all**

[cassopeie]

No just no
That does not help, the most difficult point is mixing with a smooth transition and you aint doing it
Watercolors aint acryl, you dont have to use that much

I like the idea but better use other colors like acryl or oil paints ( they also come in the metallic shiny colors )

[Ltchg]

th… i dont even know the right words to use for this

[CraftHarlot]

Add more water! They're watercolours, not paint. Let the water allow the colors to move and play with them. My favorite medium.
