WHITE WATERCOLOR Paint (5 Brilliant Ways!)

How do you use white watercolor paint? Many people ask this question, and the answer can vary depending on the use. Purists will tell you not to use watercolor at all - that it's taboo. However I believe there's no such thing as a bad color and you shouldn't limit your options. White paint isn't just for making colours paler or mixing pastels, indeed there are a couple of ways you shouldn't use it all. But used correctly you can get some great effects. Opaque white offers many options for use with watercolor. In this video I give you 5 brilliant ways that you can use white effectively and the pitfalls you should avoid.

Hello. Thanks for your video, it is very, very useful. I have used titanium white watercolor (not gouache) to paint forals in background, for example some orchids in the background that do not have much detail. I just paint some strokes when creating the background and as it diffuses on the wet surface it gives the impression of more orchids back there. Thanks again! 😉🤗

My favourite water-colourist is John Singer Sargent who made his name and reputation painting portraits in oils but at the end of his life fell in love with watercolours. Oh to paint as he! How did he do it? His secret was White watercolour paint. He would paint his watercolour and then go in with white paint to correct or block out anything he did not like. He had an enormous tube of it and splashed it on to make corrections! If he can use it so can I. Love your tutorials.

First,, yes, I'd like to see a tutorial on seashells. I'm a beach girl but have not gotten good results trying to paint shells. Great video, with useful tips. I came to watercolor 30 years ago as a hobby, and every single reference book I could find advised against using white, which was of course part of every beginner watercolor collection! I've occasionally had good luck with white using it sparingly over distance objects that I've painted too vibrantly - if it's a small section, a little diluted white can take those objects down a bit and give a misty effect, (to soften or lose an edge that shouldn't be too defined) but for the most part, I've avoided it, as I've not gotten the knack of judicious use. I either do too little, or too much. My husband recently gifted me a set of student gouache to play with, so hopefully that will help learning how to use opaque paints.

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 4 жыл бұрын

Well my first watercolor class was good but I was told to use white to lighten my paint & black to darken my paints. After making a color swatch of all my colors, along with swatches with the white & black added, I came to the conclusion of that just not working well for me. I have used both Chinese White & Titanium White in my painting for splattering and for glazing like you did with the plum. I am finding that having both types of white always in my palette and not separated is a bit messy. Great video for how to use white correctly. Thanks for sharing this with us.

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 4 жыл бұрын

It might be a little heavy for clouds. Generally with using mixed media with watercolour there are two approachs, use the second media so subtly that no one notices or use it forcefully throughout the painting. What you want to avoid is strong use of a second medium in just one place on your painting, otherwise it looks a little out of place. Thanks so much for watching the videos Donna :-)

Great video, I've been waiting for someone to cover the more traditional ways of using white watercolor! MD Campbell has a great video about using white watercolor, but covers different uses. I especially like the layering of white over the plum and shell, I've never tried that before. However, I don't think that white watercolor and white gouache are the same thing. I mostly prefer the semi-opaque feeling of white watercolor as it's more natural, and only occasionally use the more opaque gouache. I have both and they're different textures and have different effects when mixed with watercolor--both useful. But I suppose it's good to know that you might be able to use gouache in a pinch if you don't have white watercolor. FYI, Liquid Paper is the most common name for typewriter correction fluid here in the US :) Thank for sharing all these brilliant tips!!

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 4 жыл бұрын

Ah thank you, always keen to hear American terms. Yes white watercolor and Gouache are marketed as separate mediums but they are both water soluble opaque white paint. In theory gouache is more opaque but in reality I haven't found a whole lot of difference. I have known gouache brands less opaque than watercolor brands, so I don't see a lot between them ☺️

@Kyomiibrown 4 жыл бұрын

In the Studio with Michele Webber white watercolour is normally zinc white which is more transparent than titanium white. Zinc white is more transparent in all paints such as acrylics, oils etc.

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 4 жыл бұрын

@@Kyomiibrown yes but many brands have multiple whites. Daniel Smith and Winsor and Newton sell Titanium White watercolor. And the brand I use in the video, Jackmans is Titanium White and definitely not marketed as Gouache. Then you have individual formulations and source of pigments for each company, which is why I tend to group them together. Two paints with identical pigments can be markedly different from brand to brand. And whites can be layered to increase opacity or watered down to increase transparency. There's always a cross over between watercolor and Gouache, many watercolors such as Naples yellow are easily as opaque as some Gouache brands 😏

@tinadruce-hoffman3559 4 жыл бұрын

I have to agree, white watercolor has no where near the covering power of white gouache. I tried using white watercolor as a replacement for my white gouache and it was a disaster. No covering power.

@everartokelli 4 жыл бұрын

That's been my experience, except I wouldn't call the white watercolor a disaster :) since I like the added transparency for some application. Most gouache has additives not in watercolor to help with the opacity, while artist grade wc only has gum arabic (or aquazol, plus maybe honey or oxgall).

Hello, thank you for the video. I was wondering about opaque pigments in watercolor, do you use them the same way you use white or is it different for them ?

@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber 4 жыл бұрын

Hello 🙂 if you have semi opaque watercolours like yellow ochre or potters pink, or cadmiums you can use them exactly as you use transparent colours. However you just want to be careful they don't end up mixed into every part of a painting. They work best when used as contrast to more transparent areas.

What do u think of white for that little glint in an animals eye? Maybe a matte paint is not good for that purpose? It’s handy if I don’t reserve the right size or shape but I’m not sure it brings out the best shine

Matt is fine. The 'shine' is actually just strong tonal contrast.

Would the gouache also be useful in creating the beautiful nap on velvet?

It certainly is worth a try!

I can't remember without re-watching this one, but it's probably either a SAA Silver brush or a Jackman's Synthetic

I would love a tutorial on painting seashells. I have many fond memories of collecting them at the beach with my beloved grandmother, and they do look fun to paint.

Brilliant, I am not sure I have one near me. I use kitchen dip stuff all the time for palettes!

Very useful video. I don't use white, but I was wondering about those yummy colors that already have white I'm them. Never use those either 😁 but I like to collect them.

They are great for painting flat backgrounds behind transparent watercolour :-)
