My sister got me a watercolor set like,10 years ago and I've never used it. I plan on changing that now...

This actually boosted my confidence a lot about starting to paint with watercolors, I've always been told when it comes to art "you get what you pay for" but as a struggling student, can't afford to drop tons of cash, but this is something I could easily afford and you made such amazing art doing it! Great tutorial, super informative, and super helpful! <3

2 questions; one being what weight paper did you use for this in particular (It's hard to read on the cover) and the other is; how do you keep the edges from running into one another? I realize I'll have to have my blow-dryer ready, but is it just about waiting for layers to totally dry?
On a sidenote, this is probably the first watercolor tutorial I've looked at that actually seems do-able. Very VERY in-depth, and explanatory. Thankyou for that.

Thankyou for the tip, and I got to squinting at the photo and you used 90Lb paper, which is great for smaller images and characters. For like beachy/landscape scenes use 140Lb paper, it's thinker and doesn't wrinkle as easily. I actually got my paper 1/2 off with a coupon so I have more of the 140 lb, but generally 90lb is cheaper. Also, My dad scored 18 tubes of "professional paint" for $2 at the thrift store, but until I'm certain how to used them I'll use the crayola set I have.

You are really good with this. Now I know I can use Crayola watercolours for cheap :3 Anyways, why not the flat brushes? I find them good with doing wrinkles.... But I love a bushy brush XD Anymore tips you can give?

FeatheryJustice In reply to MoPotter [2012-04-08 17:00:04 +0000 UTC]
Thank you so much :3 Yeah It seems to be layers is a big thing with water colour. However, I think the three layers you did should stay that way. It's crisp, clean, and effective. I think the max should be 4-5 layers since it might over power the paper and start to spread to places you don't want it to. XD Thanks again.

Man, reading this makes me want to try water colors again. I did a little bit in an observational class during my freshman year of college, but that was back when I first got into school, thought I knew better than everyone, and thus didn't bother to actually pay attention.
(If I could go back in time and smack myself and tell myself to pay more attention I so would).
But yeah, maybe I'll try to take up the brushes again....X3

This is the best watercolour tutorial I've seen! ( Especially for one like me, who has never watercoloured before and in trying to open the watercolour bottle had it explode all over my sketchbook for art class ;~; ) thanks so much for this tutorial, it certainly comes in helpful! ^^
