Welcome to another intricate watercolor composition where we can practice 3 essential watercolor techniques:
🍋 1) Glazing {slow and gradual layers – the best way to build depth and volume while preserving luminosity with watercolor};
🍋 2) Blooming {quick, easy and very beginner-friendly way to watercolor – suitable for anything and everything, especially the background elements}, and
🍋 3) Wet-on-dry {this never gets old and is always helpful if you like additional realistic texture and extra impactful shadows}

In this video I will be demonstrating my favorite watercolor travel brush set – Escoda Red – containing the following: Perla synthetic squirrel (pointed round, size 8), and two pointed round Versatil synthetic sable brushes (one in size 12 and one in size 6). This Red set is one of the 4 amazing new travel-size brush sets that Escoda Brushes released last year, each containing 3 different synthetic brushes from their famous collection. As always, I will show you how each brush performs not just in a standard test, where I am going to look at precision and water retention, but also during a real painting process, so you can decide for yourself – whether you love to paint detailed botanicals, birds, or large landscapes – if these would be a good choice for you. Enjoy!

I could no longer ignore this topic because a) it’s an is amazing watercolor technique and b) it’s so often overlooked by general watercolor tutorials… but it’s so so so important, especially when we want to paint realistic botanicals! This video is dedicated to showcasing “wet-on-damp” – that elusive technique that can take place between wet on wet and wet on dry, and produces gorgeous soft and natural looking effects. Enjoy!

In this video I will show you how I painted these nasturtium flowers step-by-step, and walk you through detailed examples of how negative painting technique can enhance your watercolor work and allow you to create beautiful effects, including:
1. Adding beautiful backgrounds to your watercolor images, with lots of visual interest.
2. Creating smooth edges, without paint “leaking” from one object to another.
3. Painting the finest details without having to use messy masking fluid – including flower stamens and leaf veins.
4. Creating a better sense of of light by adjusting the “temperature” of your watercolors across large areas of paper (from warm to cold colors and back)
5. Creating better contrast by modifying values (light/dark)

One of the most frequent watercolor questions I get is how I choose my pigments for every painting. In this video I will explain exactly how I decide on color variations within the same color “family”, and how you can start “extending” your palette and expanding your color choices using deeper understanding of light and color theory. Enjoy!
If you want to get better at painting you need to learn how to capture shadows. Shadows is what makes our painting look 3-dimensional because they help us “frame” light on paper. In this video I will show you how to observe and capture shadows with watercolor using this white shell as a study.

In this tutorial I will explain how to plan a complex and multi-coloured watercolor painting, with careful consideration of visual hierarchy and the way light interacts with your subject. You will learn how to “see” certain things about the composition and feel more confident in your approach to painting. You can use these principles in any multi-layered multi-colored painting that features a variety of overlapping details.
