You don’t need a perfect photo to paint from. Instead, learn how to design a watercolor painting from any photo, even bad photos shot on your phone. In this video, I’ll show you the easy five step process I follow to plan my paintings from a photo reference. By the end of this process you’ll be ready to paint with a line drawing, a value study, and a color palette.

Thank you Jackie. I subscribed today and watched a few of your videos. I like the way you teach. Everything is organized and well thought out. Again, thank you.
@aesea57804 Ай бұрын
Jackie, this is SO good! You’ve explained your process clearly and simply, in steps that can be easily applied. Showing each step in this example of how you do your process makes it so clear. So often artists just get straight to “follow me as I paint” and leave out 2/3 or more of the real painting process-fiddling with composition, deciding on values, trying out color mixes. THAT part is what enables a student to start painting their own work. Thank you thank you.
@JackieHernandezWatercolor Ай бұрын
Thank you. That is exactly what I was aiming for…to share the part of the process that so often isn’t shown. My biggest hurdle as a beginner was learning to design my own paintings, so I hope this helps anyone who wants to start making their own designs.

Thank you for this tutorial Jackie. You have inspired me to take another look at my photographs for inspiration. This is a very clear tutorial on your process, which is very helpful. And as a mother of two, I totally get the whole embarrassing mom thing 😂
@JackieHernandezWatercolor Ай бұрын
You should definitely look through your photos. I put the ones I want to paint in a special album. Also, I forgot to include this tip in the video, but you can duplicate photos on your phone and try cropping them in different ways to see what you like best.

Great video. I’m wondering why you don’t just turn the photo to black and white in photos or in procreate.
@JackieHernandezWatercolor Ай бұрын
Great question. Unlike a black and white photo, a value study simplifies the number of values in the photo. Using an app makes it easy to adjust the amount of each value. One way to use a value study is to equate each value with a layer of the watercolor painting (first layer is lightest value, last layer is darkest value).

I don't like tracing I just feel learning to draw free hand is the art work. Otherwise tracing and colouring we learned in kindergarten.
@JackieHernandezWatercolor 12 күн бұрын
That’s good for you. For me, the watercolor painting is the art, the drawing is just a guideline to start with. You can’t even see the drawing in my finished work. So, no it’s not “kindergarten” to use tracing.
