Description Oh man dkgljsdfglskd this is the first tutorial I've done EVER so pls go easy on me. I obviously can't teach someone how to paint, but I'm hoping some of the things I do might be useful to people who haven't thought about certain techniques before. ;_;

This was a pretty long tutorial and I was only painting Rue. I had thought previously I could do a tutorial on the whole painting but as I was painting and taking photos I was like, nah... klfgjdl

A good few hours were spent making this, so there was effort involved at least. Cries.

I hope this might inspire someone to try watercolor who hasn't really used it, too. And to just help a tiny bit in general. :'D

FINISHED PAINTING:

I really need to try watercolors sometime! I have the paper and everything I just haven't done it yet UGH STOP PROCRASTINATING SELF. I know you use salt in some of your watercolor paintings, what exactly is that and how do you use it? I should probably just go look it up instead of bothering you hah sorry

lmao it's okayΒ 
GO DO THE WATERCOLOR.Β 
so basically I use table salt and put it on wet paint- the timing of when you put the salt down onto the paint and how much salt you use effects the outcome, as well as the type of paint (salt works a ton better w my artist grade paints than it did w my student grade).

I found one thing of watercolors in an art set my aunt got for me last Christmas! It's got both palettes and tubes, but way more tubes than palettes actually. Do you ever use tubes and how do you like them in comparison to palettes?
I know I have a bunch of kinda little-kidish watercolor palettes somewhere else I just gotta find them. I used to draw lots of watercolor stuff when I was really little hahaha. but like really bad watercolors because I used regular paper and used way too much water XD I think I had fun though~

maybelletea In reply to valwyrie [2014-08-15 16:47:15 +0000 UTC]

What brand is the art set?
I always use pans- tubes are nice to get more color but pans are simpler to take places and idk, I've used pans for yearrsss. Professionals always recommend tubes over pans but I don't rly care lol. I'll probably build up some tubes actually because I want more Schmincke colors other than what I have in my pan set.
I also have one bottle of liquid watercolor that I use!

Awww xD I used to do that when I was little too.Β 
Omg main thing I did when I was little was make books. Picture books. SO MANY.

Um I'm not really sure, it says 'The Metropolitan Museum Of Art' and "Art 101"
here I took a pictureΒ sta.sh/0wi57k4i0rm (the paints on the top half are actually the watercolor ones)

I made like four picture books when I was little too. Looking at them now though I'm like "what is that supposed to be???" ahahaha
you should show off some of your little kid artwork I'm sure it was fabulous

LOL you don't sound creepy at all! I thought it was fairly popular-ish? : o At any rate, it's very well critically received. Kinda one of those classics that I guess isn't as well known.

THIS IS THE BEST WATERCOLOR TUTORIAL I'VE EVER READ!Β 

This is exactly the type of thing I look for in a tutorial, the little techniques and whatnot, that I've never been able to find before! I feel like I've really learned from this I'm eager to paint now, even if it's only with my little $5 elementary school set XD
