Just ordered copy! Thanks for this video. I found it really helpful in going light to dark as I often go too dark too soon instead of just making shapes first then defining at last minute. 😊

It’s a great book, Claire. I know what you mean, it’s often tempting to define areas too soon

Had a go and really enjoyed the painting but as you said you have to get the right amount of water on the paper. Lost my trees so will be coming back to this. Fascinated by the controlled wash technique though. I guess the clues in the name!!

@@clairecarter9372 Great, Claire! Water control really is the key to this technique, but once you get it, it’s worth the effort 😊

Amazing! It’s an old book, so a lot of the images are black and white, but the techniques described are fantastic.

Just ran across your channel and subscribed. I've never water color painted before. But I want to give it a try but I want to learn some of the basics first. Your videos are awesome. What kind of paper are you using and what weight ? thanks.

@ChrisStephenArt 4 ай бұрын

Hi Wes, I use several brands of paper, Saunders Waterford and Arches are two favourites, but any 100% cotton paper is fine. Usually 140lb cold press texture.

@wesmcclaskie3442 4 ай бұрын

Also, how do you get the wrinkles out of your paper? Thank you

@ChrisStephenArt 4 ай бұрын

I don’t have many problems with the paper wrinkles, good quality paper will dry flat. In my experience, it’s worth investing in paper over brushes or paints.
