  • In this video I am demonstrating the use of a watercolour medium called aquapasto. This is a gum arabic based medium which you add to your paints along with a small amount of water for a thicker consistency or more water for a more creamy consistency. The paint then behaves more like oils or acrylics and can be applied with a palette knife or a brush. I have often used acrylics over my watercolour paintings to add a highlight of colour or just an interesting contrast of textures so I was super excited when I heard about the existence of this! Another wonderful thing about it is your do not need any special solvents like you might do with oil and you can use the same brushes you use for your watercolour paints (though I did use an acrylic brush just to be on the safe side). If you do give it a go please let me know how you get on in the comments.

    Did anyone else see the potential for an abstract pastel butterfly? Of course, the potential options are endless. Looks splendid!

      Yes thats true! I think there are many possibilities using this medium. I think I will make another video using this again. Thank you for your support!

    Oh my!.how gorgeous your water color paintings are, I love
    these abstracts you made with the new medium. I'll have to give it

    Thank you really liked them. Can you tell me were to buy the mounts ? Thank you in advance.

    • @annamabellaedgley
      @annamabellaedgley  Před 4 měsíci

      Yes I can look out this information over the next few days. I brought them from a framer who was selling on ebay. Its a custom size. The outside is 8” x 10”. Can I check where you are? Are you in the UK? I am not sure about delivery but he is in the UK.

    Facinatibg, Rather like gouache?+

    • @annamabellaedgley
      @annamabellaedgley  Před 4 měsíci +2

      Not exactly like gouache but yes there are similarities. However, I found it easier to scratch marks into the aquapasto mix. Also, my mix was opaque since I added titanium white. However, if you do not add white then the mix of aquapasto and watercolour would retain its translucency :)

    • @annamabellaedgley
      @annamabellaedgley  Před 4 měsíci +2

      Also, I would say the drying times are slower with aquapasto and it has a sheen (rather than matt like gouache) once dried :)

      @@annamabellaedgley Thanks Sounds appealing. :-)

  • @PatGaedeke
    @PatGaedeke Před měsícem +1

    I'm wondering if I can add Aquapasto to a puddle of watercolor not out of the tube?

    • @annamabellaedgley
      @annamabellaedgley  Před měsícem

      Yes! You definitely can. I also have used it much thinner. So I added a small amount to very watery watercolour. I applied the paint in washes and it just changed the consistency of the paint. So you can experiment with paint/ paint/ aquapasto ratios..

    Cold press is not rough grain. The three textures of watercolour paper made by Arches are hot press, cold press (NOT), and rough.

    • @annamabellaedgley
      @annamabellaedgley  Před 4 měsíci

      Yes! It was rough not cold pressed. Thanks for pointing out my error I might see if I can add some text to clarify on the video
