BTW: all the quinacridone colors are known to be the most aggressively staining. There are many others of them. I love them too, because they are usually the most transparent as well.

I love to hear the passion and excitement in your voice when you discover something new in art and want to share with us 😊 you always make me want to get my watercolours out and start painting! It’s a beautiful painting Lioba, as always. Good luck with the auction! 😊

I definitely dont need more watercolor, but you have tempted me.

Would love to see a paper comparison in the future! I started working on Fabriano paper years ago at your recommendation! The staining watercolors are interesting but I’m afraid of the idea of not being able to fix my hard accidental edges lol

Interesting video and beautiful demonstration

It turned out beautiful, great design changes 😊

Try these with Synthetic Ox Gall! I love the medium, but in my experience, it can make even the most staining pigments lift and move like gouache, no matter how dry it is! You have to plan around this and get used to the learning curve but once you do then it technically isn't a flaw in the medium.

Very nice 🎉❤🎉❤

It gets dissolved* not resolved. Excellent points. You have excellent English. Just thought I'd help ❤

Woohoooo! I'm so happy for you. :) I remember all the disappointment that followed after Fabriano changed the sizing of the paper or whatever else they did to it. And I love following your recommendations, so I tried out the Hahnemühle Collection and also the Clairefontaine paper, and it's great to have different paper options for different projects. But these staining colors, I mean now you can have different effects on the same paper for the same project if you so choose ... I love Schmincke watercolor anyway, so where's my shopping basket? :D

Love staining watercolours! In my opinion, QoR are outstanding for this! 🥰

I’m that one weirdo who has two seperate sets of brushes: one for non-staining and another for staining, simply because I have this strange fear of contaminating paints

3:06 😮

Iv'e had the same results with acrylic inks and dyes, they don't lend themselves to color gradients as well watercolor though.

@Lioba Brückner try QOR Watercolors if you're enjoying the staining factor, (or inks!) 💜 It sounds like Fabriano may have changed the sizing in their paper. 😉

I wish I could afford the course ❤❤ so thank you for KZfaq..

ooh those paints would be handy when working 😀 must resist urge to buy more paint! lol

understanding transparent or opaque or staining or granulating is what I consider rule one of watercolor... I cant believe you just are figuring this out after years of painting😂?

How much different do they bahave than a thinned transparent guache or acrylic?

I should let you in on the fact that watercolors have all levels of staining, some are partly and some are extremely. Some of the manufacturers give you a degree from 1 to 4. There are many gorgeous colors out there- I did mention the quinacridone colors which are all rich, staining beautifully transparent colors, in addition, colors can have varied traits, depending on how the manufacturer processes the colors (to some degree). Even the colors vary from brand to brand depending on the source. So that is what makes watercolors so much more interesting to me. Not only do you need to select the color you want but also what do you want it to do? Do you want a transparent color or an opaque or somewhere in between, and then there is granulation and flocculation, which sometimes seems opaque or highly textured. The variety is quite endless especially when you mix them. For my colors I have a chart which lists all the various characteristics: stain, granulating, trans to opaque (4 steps)& most important light permanence. That way I can quickly pick what I need. That is also why, you may need a larger selection and not just work from the same palette for every painting in my opinion. I select a palette for each project I work on and they are never the same! It is so exciting!!!

Staining watercolors. Also known as colored inks. Which are probably cheaper.

STOP recommending ai, WTF??
