That’s exactly why I left it in, I’m not interested in making polished videos, I’m happy to prove myself wrong any time 😂

Bless you Kiki! That’s so nice of you say, I hope you enjoy the content and don’t forget I’m always open to suggestions of what you might like to see in the future 💙💙

Hi Andrés, I’m so pleased that my videos have helped in some way, have you been painting to de-stress this year? 🖤

That’s a great idea! I’ll get b planning! 💙

Thank you for your lovely feedback! I can’t tell you what it means to me to hear that 💙💙💙

Oooh let me know how you get on with them!

Hey Sweat Tea! Thank you for your kind words, and I’m so glad you enjoyed the video 🤗 honestly I still struggle somewhat going around shapes with large washes/gradients, but when I feel super confident about it I’ll share my process with you all. Mini gradients are much simpler, I wash one colour, and while that’s still wet I drop in the second colour (a technique called charging if you wanted to google it) to the other end of the wash and let it spread, it’s what I do to make fingers slightly more red that the main skin tone for example. I hope that helps! 🖤🖤

Thanks for your nice message! And sorry for the late reply, I’ve been on a (far too long) break, but will be back making tutorials soon 😁

Thank you so much Lori! I’m working on building my catalogue slowly but surely 🖤

Thank you so much for the suggestions! I’ve added them to my list 🤗 I like those kinds of videos too, you’re certainly not the only one 💙💙

Thank you so much for coming over to watch Kali! And glad you liked it! I’ve never made a gradient that way, can you show me somehow? Sounds like a very precise way to do it which I like 🤗

@@Finelinernerd if I can I'll def try and record something and send it to ya via DM! (I dont have a tripod so I'll have to hold my phone 🤣 but I'll give it a shot when I can!)

That would be amazing! No rush but I’m certainly intrigued 🤗💙

Hair terrifies me 😂 it’s why mine is always a block colour when I paint (but I guess that’s part of my style) - as soon as I have worked on some more style options though I’ll make a video about it 😊

Oh totally! And I’m not afraid to be unpolished, I hope it makes things more interesting by messing up a bit and showing how to fix it 🤜🏻⚡️🤛🏻

I’m so glad it makes you want to try it! And shadows I can definitely help with, I’m doing a skin tutorial soon for different skin tones and I’ll include shadows in that one for you 🤜🏻⚡️🤛🏻

@@Finelinernerd Thank you so much!😊

Thanks Sofia! I’m glad to hear that 🖤

I’m really glad you found what you were looking for here, I prefer the look of the whole spectrum too with the gradient, let me know how it goes if you try this out 🖤

@@Finelinernerd Ohh, yes I've tried it out! Amazing! Such a relaxing time trying all combinations for my 4 new paints. And the result looks sooo pleasant, I want to put it on the wall as if it is a real painting :) Really, so happy to have found your video in just a perfect moment when I needed it. Thank you!

You should! Why not? I love the look of graded washes too 🤩 I’m happy to hear it all worked out 🖤🖤

Thank you so much! I’m really glad it was useful 🤗💙

My Pleasure Ashley! Glad you found it helpful 😁

Oh gosh me too! I started seriously playing around with them this year around February and it’s a long road, but once you start getting the hang of them it’s like no other medium exists 🥰

Thanks Natalie! Hope Rowan didn’t go hungry because you were drooling over the tape 😂😂😂

Oh gosh, I think so? I have done this before with one colour fading to the edges, but never two colours blending in a circle. I’ll have a go and if I get good enough at it and learn how to make it easier I’ll do a video, thanks for the suggestion! 😁

Thank you! Yeah it was the biggest one I had at the time, I have some really big brushes now compared to what I used in this 🖤

Omg that is a lovely green spectrum from those colours isn’t it? 🖤

I was certainly not as experienced back then as I am now, I have much better discipline with my water management nowadays haha 🖤🖤

.....just watched your video about this. I’m using cotton paper, clothes fabric and the hairdryer method.....

Best of luck! I find that with watercolour it requires as much experimentation as you can give it, I totally understand the feeling of being precious about paper, so you could get something cheaper like Arteza’s watercolour paper to practise on, it’s affordable and what I do all of my swatching/thumbnails on 🖤🖤

I know this was a while ago now, but I highly recommend the jumbo packs of Daler Rowney Aquafine paper (50 A4 sheets for around £15, they do what they call texture which is cold press, or smooth, which is hot press) or the 100 sheet Clairefontaine Goldfine I think it's called. It's a cotton blend cold press studio pad and slightly larger than A4 but also around £15. They're obviously not professional quality but they are both acid free and excellent for practice and learning and can take a fair bit of abuse, and they don't cost very much so you won't be afraid to "ruin" the paper. You can get them both on Amazon and they go on offer really frequently. There's also the Canson Montval 50 sheet pads but they're a bit more expensive, closer to £25/30. You can also check the Amazon Warehouse section for paper as people sometimes return pads. I've picked up a few 100% cotton 12 sheet pads for just a few quid, and if they're listed as very good or like new but arrive in poor condition then Prime lets you return for free. You can even get someone to come and collect the parcel from your house in some places. There's no point picking up something like Arches or Bockingford or Fabriano etc if you're not making art to sell. There are loads of budget options that won't hinder your learning.

I can’t remember I’m afraid, it was so long ago. It might have been Daler Rowney’s “Langton” paper (cold press version)

It can depend on the permanency I think, and if it’s a very diluted layer then it probably won’t reactivate, but certainly in my experience the heavier the pigment the more it reactivates when wet - nightmare when you want to glaze over darker areas 😖

Making the paint dry faster :)

Quem é brasileiro?

😱

Disagree! I thought the speed showed what he did just fine.. dragging the paint up, down, repeat. I can clearly see what he’s doing, and quickly get to the point so I can go try it. If he showed it in real time, the video would be at least three times as long just to see it in slo mo.

😂😂
