Welcome Antonio! Glad to have you with our Beginners Group! How long have you worked with Watercolours?
-
Thank you, Von. I wanted to startpainting watercolour a long time ago, but I could not do it till now (three months ago). I bought a box of Van Gogh watercolors and a basic equipment of brushes and notebooks and I started watching videos and drawing. I have much to learn and a lot to paint and I feel that in Doodlwash, I will learn a lot.

Beginners to Watercolour 1 week agoI watched the video where Yong Chen shows his reduction method of watercolor painting. Later, I was working on an example for a review on a Hahnemühle watercolor book. I always try to destroy the paper when working on my reviews so I know the limits and I well and truly found the limits. The painting I did was so badly overworked. Then I…[Read more]

That is seriously cool, Sandra! Did you extract with brush or cloth?
I look forward to your review on the Hahnemuhle paper. I won some but haven’t had time to play with it. I love the texture – it’s gorgeous!
-
Thank you. It’s an interesting technique. I used a Princeton Snap brush, size 6. I think you need to have a brush that is not too stiff and not too soft. I’m working on three reviews at the moment, so I’m not sure when this one will go live. Ah, what a problem to have!
-
Yes, I have the Princeton Snaps too – Charlie recommended them and they are working so well for me.
I love seeing how curious you are – it keeps a creative life interesting, doesn’t it?!? 😃

Welcome Little Wren! Glad you’ve joined us. How long have you been working with Watercolours? 🙂

Thank you for the warm welcome. I have been working with watercolours for two weeks! I have just moved to Bangkok and have joined an Art Group, we don’t have a teacher but enjoy a creative space where we all work together each week.
-
Oh that sounds like such fun! Are all of you brand new to Watercolours then or some more advanced?
I learn so much through just playing and seeing what happens. 🙂

Beginners to Watercolour 1 week, 1 day agoOk, after talking with Charlie, I feel better about my family commitments and will continue with Admin here, but it will be weekend activity only from me for the most part. I’m sure many of you are dealing with life commitments as well and understand that. 🙂
Please feel free to share your resources, tips, tricks, discoveries and questions…[Read more]

Welcome Nadine! I’m pleased to meet you! How long have you been working with Watercolour?

Hello, @Von Reeder Thank you! I am glad to join the group! I have been painting informally for about 20 years, but I am self-taught. I wish I was a lot better by now!
-
Oh it’s lovely to have more experienced artists here too! Some, like me, are so new to WC that it’s rather confusing on the whole, but thrilling too. ❤️

Beginners to Watercolour 1 week, 3 days agoEssentially, this is painting by subtraction. It’s a process I’ve seen used by Tracy Fein with Coloured Pencil work too. Very cool!

Beginners to Watercolour 1 week, 4 days agoHi everyone! I am going to have to step down from leading up our Beginners Group. I\’m sorry.
I\’ve been recruited to help with a family project that is unexpectedly limiting my social media time and I feel it would be unfair of me to limit the activity here as well.
Is there anyone here who would be comfortable stepping up to the task?
