Paint with me | Celtic Knot in Watercolour

Рет қаралды 19,919

Күн бұрын

This Celtic knot pattern is simpler to draw than it looks, and great fun to add colour to. In this video I show you how to draw a Celtic knot using a method that I learnt many years ago from a library book, this time filling it with flowing watercolours and edging every section in gold.

I find it fascinating how you plot these patterns out. I think I'll just download a sample from google... my poor overworked brain is like "nope, just give me juicy color and a brush please, the analytical lobe is closed at this time"... but I do appreciate you explaining it step by step.

I did some Celtic knot work many years ago as part of calligraphy classes but this one really knocks my socks off. GORGEOUS!

I have a few erasers that make removing those little slivers of line so much easier. The first is and eraser pencil.. it's a pencil with eraser instead of lead. You can sharpen it as needed. the second is battery powered although I don't always use the power feature.. it has two sizes of eraser and one is extremely fine, I believe 2mm wide. Also is it just me being wierd but Arches CP has this distinctive hollow yet sandpapery sound that triggers a negative reaction? I love the papers performance but using it is often uncomfortable.. definitely when sketching but even when painting.. It's like I can feel it with each brush stroke. Scritch, scritch... ugh. Makes me want to shake it off my hands, if that makes ANY sense lol. I find myself avoiding using it sometimes due to it. The HP is weird too compared to other brands, almost fuzzy, but at least it's soft and soothing.

@LouDavis 2 жыл бұрын

Yes, the arches paper has a texture that's not as soft as other papers - when I was editing this I turned down the volume on the pencil drawing bits because it was really loud! Hope it's not too distracting! I've heard the single sheets are a different texture so might order some to see the difference because I like the way the paint behaves on the surface.

@waymire01 2 жыл бұрын

@@LouDavis No worries, it wasn't anything you did it's just the "arches sound" lol. I've heard the blocks and sheets have different sizing. I haven't noticed a difference in the actual texture from my own collection, I have some of both, but I haven't examined it up close side by side either. It is different than a lot of other papers, kind of sharp edged lines vs bumps and dips or a fabric-like pattern.

So the emulsion doesn't expose if you do it in a room accessed by daylight? I've been trying to do the whole coating and exposure process in the darkroom with a amber light bulb.

@LouDavis 2 жыл бұрын

I’m guessing this relates to the screen printing video. You can coat the screen in the light as long as you move it somewhere dark to dry. The print studio I use has the same process - dark cupboards for drying screens but we do everything else in daylight.

@@LouDavis thank you for you reply, I’ve been trying and error for a while now, I’m even questioning if the emulsion brand is the right one. Which brand of emulsion would you recommend?
