My old Art teacher used to call this type of sketching "Lost & Found". I've always remembered him, great teacher. Love mixing greens with Ultramarine Blue which granulates, I like that look. Great subject, love Dragonflies. Thank you.

I really enjoyed this video as I love dragonflies! Sometimes I can get them to land on my hand and once I rescued one that was caught in a spiders web. As to the video....I love everything you paint. You are a wonderful teacher! You've taught me not to be so critical of myself and to just have fun watching the watercolor do it's thing. I enjoy all the doodling too. Thank you so much Shana!

Hey I saw lots of artists use hairdryer to dry their paint. As a person who never used one (even for hair!) 😂 I'd like to ask something. Is there a significant difference between letting the paint dry by itself and by using a dryer?

@alvirosy Жыл бұрын

And beautiful dragonfly, btw! For me, it's one of the most elegant insects!

@shanacirce2667 Жыл бұрын

It depends on how wet the paper is when you use it. Most of the time it doesn’t matter and really doesn’t make a difference. However, If you are using a wet-on-wet technique, you will want to let the water and paint do it’s thing before you use a dryer. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes so it is damp but no longer wet, and then you can use the dryer to finish the drying process. I hope that makes sense.
