Would you like to know how to improve your watercolor skills to a level that surpasses 99% of beginners?
The answer is actually pretty simple… All you have to do is to understand the rules!
These rules are what I refer to as “The golden rules of watercolor”.
So in this lesson I want to share with you my “golden rules” that have helped me transform my watercolor art over the years. And you’ll see just how surprisingly easy it can be to make a big difference in your watercolors once you understand and apply these principles.
As a bonus you can also download the Free PDF for this fun list of "golden rules" for improving your watercolor painting on my website here: www.watercoloraffair.com/the-...

Hello! I'm Anthony. An independent artist and illustrator based near Paris in France. Watercolor painting was my first passion. So a few years ago I took out my old paints, and rekindled my love for watercolors. I decided to start sharing some of my watercolor experiences in the form of my blog, “WatercolorAffair.com” (and now through my KZfaq channel). My objective was to start sharing some of my hard won knowledge in the hope that it will help and inspire others to paint with watercolors! Thank you for following !

I have another rule - don’t save on cheap paper. It’s crucial for beginners like me😅

Bao Hong is an INCREDIBLE 100% cotton, internallyand externally sized paper, available in all textures and formats. The fact that it's comparatively cheap is just a bonus! I got a deal on Temu for 14" x 10 meter roll for like $14! Normally it's like $30 but they were trying to entice me with a discount and it worked . Even purchased at Cheap Joes or whatever, i got ten full sized sheets for about $5 a sheet.

Good rules to be reminded of even when you aren't a beginner! Great demonstration of how glazing affects the results achieved differently than merely mixing colors! A couple of the artists that I've followed for years explain that white is seldom just white and black is seldom just black. While black was included in my first watercolor palate, I don't think I have ever used it. I have Payne's gray and neutral tint which prove very useful--I love the blueish cast my Payne's gray has! I also have Mars black in my granulating palate because of the effects it has on some of the other granulating colors.

This video just came across my feed and after watching this and several of your other videos I've subscribed. I've been painting with watercolors for a while now. While I've had Paynes Gray on my home palette (not my plein air palette) and I rarely used it. I do mix my own grays and blacks but recently I've been using Paynes Gray more by adding either a warm or cool other color to it to get the gray or black that I'm looking for. Because of this I went ahead and added Paynes Gray to my Plein Air palette a couple weeks ago. This has sped up my time in getting the color I want without having to mix and remix (and crossing fingers that with each mix I get the same color) in a tiny tray. My suggestion for others is use black or gray, just add a warm or cool color to it to get the warm or cool black or gray you are looking for.

What is the name of the utensil you were using to apply the masking fluid? I noticed it at the first of the video when you were selecting your brushes and then when in use. Where can you get one of these?

@suel4269 8 ай бұрын

It’s a bamboo reed pen.

@WatercolorAffair 8 ай бұрын

Hi Sheri - that's a bamboo quill pen. They're inexpensive and you'll find them in most art stores 🙂

@@WatercolorAffair thank you so much for the information. I will have to be on the lookout for one.
