    • @sadina1348
      @sadina1348 Місяць тому

      idk if this is what they mean but how I do it is look at the whole picture like the whole shape and sketch it out very loosely so I get the proportions right and placement, then I slowly erase and sketch it till it looks less like a blur but more like a proper sketch. then I basically repeat the process until I add the details last (whole time trying to make everything accurate to the reference). (tip: put more time into sketching and the whole process than you think, it'll look nicer and more accurate)

    I have never found a “waterbrush” that keeps letting the water come out? Then have no control over how much comes out 🤔.

    • @alyssawhetstoneart
      @alyssawhetstoneart 2 місяці тому

      I've definitely noticed some are easier to get the water out than others. You do need to squeeze it each time you want a small amount of water, so it makes it more difficult to do large washes. Since I use it for sketching on the go, I don't typically need a large amount of water. Figuring out how to control the amount of water will come with practice! Good luck!

    Ooh, this was so satisfying to watch, Alyssa, thank you for sharing your process. You made it so well, I felt I was in the room with you watching and learning. So many tips and keeping-it-real stuff that I appreciated very much. One thing I missed was a closer view when you did the detail of branches in brown in the upper area. I like the palette and the way there is so much space in it, and I also found it comforting to hear just yellow and brown rather than cadmium yellow, or Van Dyke brown and such, so the focus is on the general idea of colour and we can see what we'd like to use in our own paintbox. I'm going to subscribe and hope to try this out.
