THANK you for your work! I have been stuck in watercolor hell, trying to figure out exactly how paint works before I read this. All of your work has been enormously helpful. You are simply a genius.

I like the freedom of B, for artistic. And A has the appearance of a tighter illustration. Very cool. Thank you for sharing.

wow, i love how you did this!
It's cool that with slightly different techniquies, you can produce totally pictures.
I wanna try it now.
awesome job!

best tutorial about aquarel ever!

Thanks for sharing! Seeing different techniques used on the same drawing is very useful. I'd have to say that I like both... they each have their own style.

Bene! Molto interessante!

I like both painting techniques. But my favorite part is the pencil drawing underneath.
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Really? In fact, the drawing was done rather quickly to start the execise. Thank you!

Really great tutorial!!!! Appreciate you sharing your knowledge... Love how you have shown the the results of using different techniques!!!

thank you. I had lot of fun doing it.

Wow, it was interesting to see how they both turned out! I'm partial to B, as it has that loose and impressionistic feel that I really love 
Excellent tutorial and excellent piece!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Thank you! I like both pieces, and have little, favourite details from each one of them. In any case I agree, technique B is really enjoyable to use.

Thanks you for this tutorial. Nice Idea to compare different technique with the same draw. I also think that basis layer is a good point to make specific atmosphere as films like "Amelie Poulain" which uses green-yellow basis color or "Kingdom of Heaven" which uses blue basis color. Thanks to show this king of renderer with aquarella ^^

Yes, basis is often essential to atmospheres. It is also omportant to separate grounds, i.e. foreground from background (choosing to apply a darker basis on foreground, for example).

grazie

I like the fact that you showed two different techniques on the same drawing, because it really shows how different a watercolor painting can look depending on the technique!
This was really helpful!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
I'm glad you liked it
Yeah, the same drawing can dramatically change depending on technique used. And there are many more of those I showed here!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
And each person has their own way of painting, so even if two people used the same technique, it would still come out different

eeeh! che bello! *O*
in realta' e' una figata il tutorial comparativo... *.* molto interesting!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
eh vedi dove portano le letterature comparate, a fare anche i tutorial comparati...

Very nice technique and well explained! You know, I usually do a mix of A and B. My workflow is actually B, but to achieve a very consistent colour scheme, I have something like a base colour that I mix into any colour I put on paper, so the results are similar to A although I never use a full wash like this.
Interesting food for thought, though!
๐: 0 โฉ: 1
Yes, to add a base colour to all the rest is also a possibility (though I seldom apply it personally). But actually there are a lot more techniques and tricks! It is maybe more easy to show them directly in front of an audience than explaining it with written words.
I'm waiting for the third part of your tutorials, btw

I like both, maybe I likke A a little more cause it's more detailed
