The hard part for me is to k ow when you are adding more paint and whether or not the area is still damp/wet or if you pre wet a painted area in order to add more color. Can you tell us what state the actual area is in when you are layering? Is it dry? It it damp? Help❣️ love your videos.
Thank you! You just saved my painting!
There is a new ceramic palette like the Stephen Quiller one. The ceramic palette is made by Meeden. They make many ceramic palettes of different shapes and sizes. The prices are a lot cheaper than a Quiller palette. I love my ceramic palettes compared to plastic or tin. The paint mixes and moves like a dream. No staining, beading, stays put, easy lifting etc. On a ceramic palette, the colour you see is the colour on the paper but always swatch first.
Thank you so much! Really enjoyed the video and learned new methods to try. So kind of you to share your knowledge.
Wonderful video!Great information,easy to understand.Thank you
I would like to watch a demo of how to make a solid color dark background for stilllife of some sort. Also…I need help with negative painting…still! Thank you for sharing your video. It was very helpful.😊
Very informative, with many helpful suggestions. Thank you for all the work you put into this video. Especially taking the extra effort to label your work. I did have one question, was it accurate when you referred to the ultramarine blue as cool and the phthalo blue as warm? (At minute marker 17:43)
Wow!
Great video, thank you Lorraine
Mind blown ❤
Why don’t you put your palette pic on the inside of the cover with the mixing tray set over it. Then you can remove the tray and use it while still seeing the palette pic.
Im a new follower because of this video! Im doing a pet portrait with a bandana on the dog and needed some tips on fabric!! Thank you! best one I found!!
I am wondering, when do you use colors such as sap green if you mix your own greens ? I often see artists who indeed prefer to mix their own greens, but in what situation would you rather use the green pigments that are offered on the market, weither it be sap green, or hooker's, or any other ? And the same question would apply to any secondary or tertiary color… since you can mix nice purples, when do you need those ready to use purples ?
Hi Helen. Thanks for the question. I don't have a perfect answer. I like to mix a lot of my greens because I can get a more realistic green or closer to what I am seeing in the image. I will use premixed greens (convenience colors) if I feel the green matches my green paint. I will also use premixed greens in a mix with other colors, green & blue, green & yellow, sometimes green and a red for a more neutral green mix. I hope that helps. It's the same for other colors. I guess it also depends on how much room you have on your palette. I know some artists always mix their secondary and tertiary colors. I do a little bit of both.
@@lorrainewatry_watercolors thank you for your answer. I guess it is trial and error. I see artists who suggest to use only a few colors, and others that do not hesitate to use a great variety in the same painting. Some that mix colors on the paper, while others mix them on their palette. And some that do very realistic paintings, while others do very loose and expressionist ones. I guess I am still figuring out my way of doing things.
@@helenechouinard3473 yes, that's all true and your way of doing things may change over the years or from painting to painting. It's good to ask questions of others and yourself and continue to learn and grow.
Merci Lorraine ! Vos précieux conseils m'aident à comprendre pour mes débuts...🕊️💐💖
You are very welcome. I am glad it was helpful!
What do you use to remove the mask?
You can use a rubber cement pick up tool. It looks like a rubbery eraser. They are usually sold by the masking fluid. You can also use your fingers to sort of roll the edge of the mask and then lift it off the paper at an angle. I have also used masking tape to touch the mask and then lift it off the paper.
What? I watched this and you did not paint the FLOWER...
Yes, the title says "How to Paint a Wet-on-Wet Background". I did not say it was a complete demo of this painting.
I made my own script three years ago. I thought I invented it
Thank you for simple techniques that I could do! Some other grass tutorials were a bit too technical for a beginner.
You are very welcome. I am glad it was helpful.
Thank you so much! Your process matches exactly my questions as I do watercolor illustrations. As my illustrations have gotten bigger, I am finding I should stretch the paper, but wondered if the graphite from tracing my drawing onto the paper would remain after soaking. Very helpful and I am excited to try this!
I am glad this was helpful! The HB lead I use in my mechanical pencil has never faded when stretching the paper.
Wonderful. Do these points pertain to oil painting also
I have not done any oil painting, but I would think so.
Thank you for this 😊
You are very welcome!
I appreciate it a lot
Please keep making these vids Lorraine. You are such a gifted teacher and painter. These are soooooo helpful. Much appreciated that you share your talent and knowledge
Thanks! I have limited time right now, but I'll make videos when I can.
Wonderful advice. Thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks!
Do your pencil markings fade when you apply water to the paper? I have had trouble with this in the past. Thanks you.
No. I use a mechanical pencil with HB lead. I don't have a problem with the lines fading.
It looks like your tips and tricks thread is something I really need!
Happy painting!
Thank you, very helpful. I will go check out what other type of videos for watercolor you have
Thanks for the feedback.
Watching this looking for alternatives to masking fluid. I’ve been working on a very intricate dragon painting for several weeks-took several days to mask the dragon, using small brushes, even a glass pen, to mask the details and I finished the background a few days ago, wiped the masking fluid off and despite what I THOUGHT were almost perfect masking of small areas & details…it’s a mess…a large, almost shapeless white blob with occasional small dots of the background right in the middle of the dragons body and tail. SO frustrated! I’m still going to TRY and lift what I can and use more opaque colors than I’d originally planned (luckily, not hard with yellows, orange & red), but still worried I won’t get the definition and look I was going for. I’m planning on trying another one either with just negative painting or using tape..
I hope the masking tape works for you! I use masking fluid on small areas.
Beautiful painting of a glass bird. You are an excellent artist and excellent teacher. I can see why you were chosen to be president of the National Watercolor Society. You represent the best combination of skills in this medium. I was fascinated how you positioned your glass object on a gameboard inorder to make the glass object more interesting. I can see why painting glass is so challenging... you are not painting the glass... but the reflections in the glass. I also learn so much about design and process from your videos. For example, lowering the chroma of the highlights to give more focus to the bird as a whole. Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words. I am glad the video was helpful and interesting.
I just purchased a Ruling pen, and I am today years old finding out why it's called "Masking Tape". Lots of good information.
I hope you like the ruling pen. It can take some practice. Thanks for the feedback.
@@lorrainewatry_watercolors I used it along with a new to me, plastic proportional divider and transferred a mountain landscape from my pc screen to keep the sky wash off of mountain snow.
I haven't painted for awhile, but I decided to try this out yesterday. With some practice, I figured out how my pressure was enough, and overall I prefer this over masking fluid. Thanks for sharing this!
I'm glad it was helpful. Yes, cutting the masking tape can take some practice. Happy painting!
I have 12 wells on my palette, and I plan on using the ones here. I added yellow ochre and raw Seinna and was wondering if indigo would be a good choice as a neutral tint.
I think indigo would work fine as a neutral tint and a dark.
You really are the most extraordinary talented artist Lorraine, and how wonderful you share your knowledge, your attention to details, the beautiful subjects that you paint and stunning compositions. Thank you so much for your wonderful videos.
Thank you Carroll! You're very welcome.
Interesting subject but the wobbly-scope filming induced sea-sickness & I had to abandon 2 & half mins into it.
The split primary palette appears to have the capabilities of being like an old tv channel tunning knob. As long as you have the required pigments just turn and adjust to the next color scheme.
I purchased the DS primary and secondary sets along with the Moonglow, not knowing the LF ratings. Will it still go fugitive when mixed for shading or neutral tints? The granulation was the motive for buying it. Can some other color like indigo be added to reenforce the strength of the Moongone? (lol) Nice tutorial video. Signed, Grey-matters
Thank you for sharing
You're welcome
Recipe for youtube success : Find something of your interest and COPY it (mostly ) . I find out about some Canadian ( I think) artist some time ago, and I liked her work .. but now I can see it is ALL YOUR WORK ... She have copied some of your tutorials , specially clouds, your set up, and even her voice is like yours . :) :) :) I taught I was dreaming . This only can mean that you are good :) I woun't revile her name :) maybe it is not true
No worries, there is plenty of room for all of us.
I loved that you placed the photo reference. Wonderful tutorial.
Thanks. I am glad it was helpful.
Awesome 👏😀
Thank you!
This was great! Wish I had found your channel and this episode a couple weeks ago before messing up my last painting. Thank you very much. You are a good teacher! Think I'll try that one again with what I have learned here.
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it. Happy painting!
Lovely!
Thank you Shirley!
So beautiful!
Thanks Susan. I appreciate it.
The odor of masking fluid is just horrible for me. This technique is so much cleaner and controllable! I can hardly wait to give it a try! Thank you for sharing!
Yes, I really like not having to smell masking fluid. It does take some practice. But, I really like masking tape.
Having lived in Aspen Colorado for 40 years I can attest that you nailed it here. Very nice presentation. My stile is much looser and I'm trying to figure a cool way to paint them that way now.
Thank you for your tips. Your paintings are very beautiful. I just discovered your channel😊
Thanks for the feedback! Happy painting!
Thank you so much.❤
You are very welcome!
May I ask wheredid you buy that pallet? I love the idea of placing the colors in the color cycle
It is a Stephen Quiller palette and they can be purchased through most online art supply stores and possibly even Amazon.
I love your work, what Kind of brushes do you use ?
Thank you! I use Silver brand, Black Velvet brushes.
I love that you use lots of different colours. I try the limited palette and end up saying “ oh forget it” I love colours why work too hard 😂to get that mix. Wonderful how the negative painting really makes the white feathers sing. Thanks for sharing.
