The darker background😊 lovely painting and advice. Thanks

@DebWatson 6 күн бұрын

Thank you so much 😀 Darker backgrounds stand out in watercolor paintings because so few people use them.

Thank you so much for a watercolour still life tutorial. Sometimes it seems as though watercolour is only about landscapes-there isn’t too much out there for those of us with other interests.

@DebWatson 2 ай бұрын

You can do anything with watercolor from soft and light watery paintings to photo realistic paintings - it is a wonderful medium to use.

Thank you so much! I want students to be able to paint any subject they like, so general watercolor techniques work well.

I like dark backgrounds, but one student did striped wallpaper behind hers and it was really fun.

I wouldn’t think to paint all the object shadows first, then add color-even though I’ve seen you do that before. It turns out so well and seems like it would be easier than making the blue shadow color.

The beginners in my class struggled with the black and white part but they were thrilled with their finished paintings. Being aware of shading is a big plus, no matter how you accomplish it.

Thank you Deb. A brilliant tutorial as usual. I prefer the darker background, that is one of my favorite colour combinations, the brown of my old tweed jacket and blue jeans!

@DebWatson 4 ай бұрын

Blue and brown or orange - I've done a bunch of paintings with just those colors and a touch of red somewhere. It just works well - like your jacket combo.

Just found your videos on KZfaq. Exceptional lessons. I teach watercolor to older adults and will be recommending your demos to them. Thank you!

@DebWatson Ай бұрын

That is great - a lot of the retirement homes around me use them, as well as many other groups of painting friends. Have fun!

You’re welcome 😊 Diane! Students did lots of fun backgrounds behind the pot - one lady did striped wallpaper.

You are so welcome! The light background is much easier, but I agree, either one would be great.

Thanks Cute painting and instruction. I like the darker background also. 👍

Thank you, Sharon. We did this in class yesterday and students did gold, pink and black backgrounds. The pink one was especially fun. I agree with you - I like dark backgrounds.

The paintings looks so drab without color but amazing once the color is on. It's surprising.

@aesea57804 4 ай бұрын

I will try your approach to painting backgrounds from the side! What is the advantage over painting it from top to bottom? Your demos are so practical. Oh! I like the dark background better.

@DebWatson 4 ай бұрын

Many students tend to get a hard line at the top when they start there. It doesn't happen when they start from the bottom.

You could go even darker than mine, too. It would look great.

Thank you - are you painting flat? Or with your paper at an angle?

@DebWatson Ай бұрын

I'm painting flat in the videos unless I mention tilting the board. And thank YOU for posting!

@@DebWatson brilliant. I tried it today and was very happy with the result. Thanks again

@pinkangel2393 Ай бұрын

For the white you used at the end that is watercolor or acrylic or gouache? My watercolor is too light for that effect 😮

@DebWatson Ай бұрын

Student grade watercolor paints won't have as much pigment as the professional grade paints, and Qor brand has the most vivid colors that don't fade as they dry. Student grade paints often need several coats to equal the color saturation you see in the video. The white paint I use is Bleed Proof white by Dr. Martin but Pro White by Daler Rowney is just as good. Hope that helps.
