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.

About what is the price range on the paints you're using, out of curiosity?

The transparent film under the scanner is a great idea. My scans always turn out way too bright, so I'm off to try this now Thank you so much for the great tips!!

This is just simply amazing, i don't know how you can get so detailed, and make it so beautiful :C

FeatherSan In reply to ??? [2011-07-24 11:48:48 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I have a question!
All the shadows you added, you waited the first layer of paint to dry or made the shadows when it was still wet?
I have a problem when I use watercolor.
1- I think I use too much water, I canΒ΄t make stronger colors
2- when I make another layer of color (like shadows), there is an annoying stronger line of the shadow color on all itΒ΄s borders. Why?

Wow, just wow.

I want to get some water colours now
This just looks lovely! <3

But before getting any paints, a eraser would be handy.
Being a digital artist, I've not really needed one for about a year

Congratulations! What a well deserving DD c:
