Description
My 2nd watercolor tutorial.It might looks pretty long, because it's filled with many pictures to help you understand my process, instead of using a lot of texts.
Edit: Wet in Wet is : Adding wet colors on damp sheet of paper or an area of still-wet paint, and let them run out over the wet surface, giving soft-hazy effect
If you have any watercolor question, Feel free to ask me.

@-@ hmm what does it mean to add pure water to the painting?
does that create highlight? is that just using water?
π: 0 β©: 1
left a white space on paper is a way to create highlight. adding pure water is to made the highlight looks soft and hazy.

When you add the folds in the clothes, do you outline them first lightly in pencil? or do you just directly paint them in?

I hope you donβt mind me asking emperpep: How do you create folds in clothing using watercolour?

I think it would be great if you did some other tuts for like digital art or how you do eyes or high lights or something also since your water color ones are rather fantastic

Can you tell my how to do wet on wet technique when the background is dried because Im so slow with painting and when I try to wet the background the color is getting off a bit.
And can you tell me how to paint areas without get those hard edges?
Would be great if you could answer. Thanks

After adding the base color, do you wait for it to dry first then add on shading or shade when it's wet?
π: 0 β©: 1
If I want to create soft hazy strokes, I will add colors when base layer is wet.
And dry layer is for sharp brushstroke.

Oh and how do you prevent jagged edges? There;s some jagged edges in the background when it dried [link]

great work.. and it was helpful!
does watercolor pencils work also?

normal watercolor is smoother.

I've started watercolors and seen that other tutorials say to "stretch" the paper before painting. Is it really necessary to do that? Or does it depend on the paper or painter?
π: 0 β©: 1
I think this technique can prevent watercolor paper from bending [when applying heavy wash on it], But I don't use this technique because It doesn't necessary for my painting style. [I use 190g,300g paper ,and they never bend.]
