- Don is trying a different method of creating beautiful granular washes! Just when you think you've seen it all, a wonderful new way to create a granular wash is discovered! This technique is credited to the late artist, Nita Engle who was a wonderful artist that I was honored to have met and to consider one of my friends!
Her book "How to Make a Watercolor Paint Itself" is still available on Amazon. You might want to check it out!

I'm a 12 year girl who loves to draw and paint. Recently I been working with watercolors a lot. My watercolors are Crayola brand so they are not the best, but I still manage to make masterpieces with them. I try every technique I find on the internet, and I'll try this one too. Also, do you use watercolor pencils? If so, can you make a tutorial with them because I'm not that good with them. Thanks!😀
Keep going young lady! Ask your parents for better paints as birthday gifts, etc. As you progress you will see how you improve with better quality art supplies and It's exciting to hear of young people being intentional with their art. I have vintage sets of Crayola paints in tins and use them in sketchbooks for painting fun little paintings. The tins are from the 60's, 70's era and are quite lovely.
Hi Julia,,, I don't use watercolor pencils but if you like them by all means use them! I believe Materials are secondary , the most important thing is to draw and paint as much as possible, go to my website donandrewsstudio.com, there are free videos you can watch on design, color harmony, value etc,,, Friend Don

I have a question that has been bugging me. I like Don’s work and have his book. Why does he call these washes “granular”? Doesn’t that mean grainy or rough? Does it have a different meaning in watercolor jargon? Anyone know.
Excellent excellent tip about softening edges. This is a game changer!! Super useful. What if the hard edge is on top of a previous wash I don't want to disturb?? Thank you for your advice!
Hi Chantel,,,,,,thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! If the underlying wash is ABSOLUTELY DRY, you can soften a hard edge over it but tenderly! Friend Don
@@DonAndrewsAWS thank you! 😊
Did you ever finish this painting ?
Hi James,,,, sorry to say but no, my new subscription class is keeping me busy!!! Friend Don
