    it's rare to see this kind of original painting experience on social medias. i really enjoy listening to the problems and trouble that you met and they make your videos unique and realistic.

    It's always interesting to see how a drawing / painting can go through so many changes! I thought that 3rd eye was lost forever but you managed to bring it back really well!

    • @arleebean

    something I have found with higher quality or thicker watercolor paper is that on the initial laying down of pigment, the paper tends to soak up alot of color and its hard to build layers. I buy individual sheets of arches watercolor paper, soak them in water in my bathtub, and then hang them up with a clip hanger to drip-dry. it makes the painting process SO much easier, and the paper won't buckle much. hope this helps!!

    • @gabrielleroshelli
      @gabrielleroshelli Před 5 lety +2

      i think something about the paper soaking up all that water, helps it to be a little less absorbent when painting. not really sure why but it works.

  • @MeowMeowKapow
    @MeowMeowKapow Před 6 lety

    Working with only primary colors is so fun and informative and rewarding. When you challenge yourself to limit your palette like this I think it teaches you so much so quickly that any frustration is worth the knowledge you gain from it.
    Someone mentioned on one of my videos that they don’t like the canson Montreal paper, maybe it was you? I recently started using it and haven’t done anything except ink tests so I’m not sure I have an opinion yet.....but I’m wondering more about your experiences with it and why it’s given you’d o much trouble!
    Also, I’ve just started experimenting with gouache and my tip for trying to get used to just how the gouache in particular works is to do monochromatic tonal studies just using white and a color. It’s REALLY helped me to focus on just getting the consistency of the paint right on the first try and having the proper feel for how the gouache should work. I’ll probably do a small “everything I’ve figured out so far” vid soon if you’re interested....I’m definitely finding that knowing how to use watercolors is kind of almost detrimental to learning how to use gouache and it’s been a frustrating bit fun struggle. =>.

  • @picklesdill9138
    @picklesdill9138 Před 6 lety +12

    Your paper is just soaking it up and spreading it out...it seems like a mix between the paint and paper but the end result is just awesome.

    • @arleebean
      @arleebean  Před 6 lety

      Thank you! Yeah, I think between the light color layers and the weird paper, it just wasn't working too well. I like the final result too. :]

  • @blankblank5231
    @blankblank5231 Před 6 lety +7

    I find that gouache shifts less if you use less water
    so
    Dont ever mix water with the white because then it will dry to nothing
    Its hard to figure out how much water to add so that it spreads nicely but not so much that it dries a different color, i guess thats part of learning the medium
    People say gouache is like opaque watercolor but i think it's more like acrylic, just not plastic, but maybe thats just my approach to it

    • @arleebean
      @arleebean  Před 6 lety +1

      blank blank that's a really helpful tip. Thank you so much! I will definitely use that when working with the white. :3

    I'm glad I'm not the only person who likes using Sumi brushes for my watercolor... you gotta practice your water control though. The calligraphy brushes do hold a _lot_ of water, and they love lifting pigments. S'why I like painting on cheap paper or printer paper. Good for practice.

    That canson pad is the worst!!! I have the watercolour and mixed media, and unfortunately both have been thrown in the scrap pile, and I now don't use it for any finished work and only use it for sketching and colour testing. Kudos to you for powering thru! You made them look fantastic with how hard you fought!

    i think the reason becaue the pigment is not sticking onto the paper is because of the paper itself. i see somethings like it is repelling the water and the pigment with it instead of absorbing the water some amount and placing the constrast of pigment

      You should honestly try the Daler Rowney brushes. They aren't totally expensive but their quality is supreme. They haven't let me down for neither water nor oil nor acrylic. Theyre a tad more pricey than the average supermarket brush.

      I believe they were just some cheap synthetic brushes I got at the supermarket? I'd recommend something synthetic and a bit stiffer than a soft watercolor brush. Acrylic brushes are pretty good!

    I'm betting the sketchbook is either Canson Montval or XL. I always have issues with lifting and vibrancy on these cellulose papers of theirs. I struggled every time I used it so I stopped using it and gave both to my granddaughters for card making and will never purchase Canson watercolor paper again.
