Fun fact: Laovaan let me paint the first seconds of this video with the mission "Try to ruin this painting as much as you can" so he could do some fixing afterwards :D

Once its a little less wet you can use a hair drier to dry it faster

Laovaan I have a question about the drying process. How many minutes or seconds should I wait until the water dries out? I saw a video on painting skin when you mention you used a light wash before going in with the desired color with not too much water. I notice you are patient when you paint the skin by letting it dry first.

@yasmine3920 5 жыл бұрын

The moment you realise that in one video laovaan thaught you more than 4years with your art teacher Also 7:55 this is extremely satisfying

@knightroartz3846 4 жыл бұрын

It problably because he actually takes a few more seconds to explain things a little more, and give examples as to how it can be done and errors to avoid. Most art teachers give u an art supply, do minimal explaining and let u go. Of course the point of art schools is to let u try out and expand. maybe try new art supplies u've never done before. So its great to learn/use art supplies uve never touched, but without a good understanding can result in dislike for a supply due to confusion and it doesnt help when u ask for advice and they just say keep trying or give incomplete info. I get learning, but its hard to want to learn a supply when u dont know what up with it or whats wrong. I tend to rely on youtube (dont have money for skillshare really.) As most of the people understand and try to make sure they note things beginners stuggle with. Again good to try lots of supplies not the best on how to use them or get tips on them for.

I used to dread watercolour a lot because I'm not the most patient person and even though my teacher tried to tell me otherwise, I was still convinced in my last year that I sucked.

Awesome video! And really, some very important tips! What I would like to add to the last point, the brushes, there are great synthetic brushes, which have extreme water capacity, like the da Vinci Casaneo and raphael soft aqua! For me they are a great alternative to sable, because they are not only vegan//at least not made from dead animals, and usually a bit cheaper! I can paint like everything i wish with a size 6 or 8 casaneo, both the details and bigger areas!
