These Simple, Creative, Fun illustrations are intended to help you loosen up and embrace the FUN in watercolour. I invite you to paint alone with me and enjoy the process. Try doing your drawing with either coloured pencil or ink, something that you can't erase. When you draw without the ability to make alterations you create heaps of character and charm, especially with animals. Embrace the distorted proportions and get excited by whatever your hand creates!

    Fantastic! I have almost completed both your courses. I am wondering if u will do more? U are such s good and pleasent explainer. There are plenty of wonferful artists out there. There also many good explainers. However, the combination of being very good as a painter and being able to explain and being willing to share is very rare. In fact, u are the only one that I know. Will u offer more courses? Please do!!!! If u lack ideas for topics, I have a lot of ideas: painting under water scenes and lights, painting hair and fur...How to grab paint with a big brush from a small paint container? Tipps and tricks with masking fluid, how to paint the night without black. How to compose a good scenery and and and. I have 1000s of ideas!

    Amazing step by step tutorial. It is such a great quality video, everything is explained perfectly! Which kind of paper did you use? And most importantly: is there a way to receive the initial sketch in order to follow the tutorial without having to deal with the initial sketch? Happy Painting :)

    I appreciated you telling us of your thought process that occurs to determine your subject matter etc. I have a tendency to think that “the idea” should just pop out of my head onto the paper into its completed stage. I will definitely think differently now. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

    I am really new to watercolor. I am a acrylic painter so bare with me when I ask could I use white acrylic paint over the watercolor ? Would that alter it or ruin it ? Thank you very pretty

    • @ChristopherMaxwellArt
      @ChristopherMaxwellArt 3 місяці тому

      Yes certainly, you can use your white acrylic for highlights etc. I wouldn’t mix it into the watercolour but on top when everything is dry would work fine. It won’t affect your painting 💙
