Painting watercolour backgrounds intuitively
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 чер 2023
- In this video, I do several watercolour paintings where I demonstrate how I use colour craving exercises and paint multiple paintings at a time. I love cleaning my brush onto a new blank piece of watercolour paper, or on another existing work in progress. Once I let my watercolour backgrounds dry, I add mixed media supplies over the top.
I am using several different brands of watercolour paper - Artist Loft 4x6" 140 lb watercolour pad, Strathmore and Canson XL 140 lb paper, and Arches Cold Press paper on a block (8"sw).
Watercolours I love:

I use a round watercolour brush - both size 10 and 12 (quite large). - Навчання та стиль
Thank you so much for your videos and your encouragement. Before you all of my abstract watercolor paintings would come out muddy. I would never think about the colors. Watching you has given me the ability to understand the value of simplicity and taking my time and now Im creating beautiful watercolor art.
You are so welcome. That is such a beautiful comment,.
@@allisondawrant You are a blessing to many people. ❤️
The words Color Craving Creative Soul just popped into my head. Gorgeous metallics
Love your spontaneous creations, Allison! The colors are beautiful. Abstracts truly opens a world of wonder. Thank you so much.😘
Thankyou
I love watching you choose your colours and seeing how you move your brush to apply them. You are a very good teacher so thank you for sharing your talent with us 🌺
Thank you so much!
I love how freely you paint! You are blessed with such an extensive palette of beautiful colors!
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you so much Allison, I really really enjoyed watching you create these amazing pieces and your artwork is fantastic and incredibly inspiring too. I love ❤❤❤❤❤ it all. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! Yes, lot of forest fires nearby and our city is full of smoke and ash...
There’s something so mesmerizing watching all these big puddles of transparency and color flow into each other. You always crave the most unique and interesting color stories. I like how you balance the saturated neons with the muted colors.
thanks so much,!
I absolutely love your way of intuitive watercolor painting ❤. It’s calming and fulfilling . I’m not an artist and can’t draw but by just mixing colors my heart is happy . I love watercolors . I can then go later after the paint has dried and add to the painting if I feel it needs it .
Thank you so much 😀
I love that, color craving! I often experience the extreme need to paint nothing in particular but I’m craving color, seeing color on bright white paper! I think I’ll keep a sketchbook just for that purpose, I’ll entitle it color craving! Thank You! ❤
Great idea for a sketchbook dedicated to colour craving.
I just discovered your youtube chanel and I absaloutely love listening to you explaining what you are doing. And you talk about color craving which I never heard anyone talk about. Thats how I paint, I do not have anything special in mind when I start but as I have my colors in front of me I get an instant craving for some color. Happy to have a name for that feeling now.
thanks for your comments. I first heard artist , Flora Bowley, an intuitive artist (Portland), using the term "colour craving", and I learned her tips and tricks, and some of her exercises with acrylic paint... I took a wonderful course called "Fresh Paint", and it was in that course where I'd learned how to choose colours more intuitively. "craving" is the word that seems to make the most sense in this scenario. That's cool that you are already doing this.
Magnifique voyage aux flamboyantes couleurs de vos divines créations!!!
...Ces Ors.. Ces Fushias - Pourpre...Ces Verts-Bleu... Et ce Turquoise... Et ces mondes splendides qui surgissent!!!!!!
MERCI pour ces 30 minutes de Bonheur, votre enseignement de grande qualité en partage!
thankyou so very much for this comment,:)
Thank you Allison watching this explained a lot to me- 🙏🏽 exactly what I needed to see.
Another inspirational video! Thank you Allison for sharing your gifts with us. 💗
You are so welcome! thankyou for encouraging me as always.
Ha, its true what you say...
The quick sketch to loosen up always looks better than the better intended second attempt 😊
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing background painting ideas. I do outdoor sketches & think I will paint subtle backgrounds in my sketchbook pages before I go to the sketchout location. My background could be specific for that location…or not. Thank you for the inspiration😊
Glad it was helpful!
This is so beautiful, I love your videos!
Love your freedom and child like wonder while you are painting. I'm also very proud you are in my city as well! You're such an inspiration! Thank you.
Oh, that's a neat connection. thanks for watching and being so supportive Paula!
Thank you!

what a beautiful thing to say. thanks Kathy.
Absolutely
I absolutely love this method. New subbie here. Will be doing this soon.
Very nice! Will try❤️
It’s a little daunting to watch you paint from palettes that cost more than a car payment. Such beautiful colors and consistency. Maybe someday….love your creativity and freedom of painting.
Watching & listening is like being in my favorite candy store & ii'm literally drooling as the colors flavor and bloom onscreen...is it possible to be jealous of a color, or brush, or paper...
art envy.... it's a thing. haha. but you have it in you to find in your own style and colour palette if you see it in others:).
Those cool Green washes and gold i😊s everything until you started adding more notes yes they are like art therapy. Thank you for sharing. I love your palette and art process sister Allison 🙏
thankyou !!
Kuretake has a 6 piece metalic gold/silvers for a really reasonable price. They are gorgeous!
thanks for sharing Sue
I enjoyed watching you very much. I really want to try this out now.

Qué hermos colores, como siempre eres mi inspiración ❤
thankyou so much
I do the same! This is how I test watercolor and paper!
cool! thanks for watching art-alchemy
Your work inspires me, as a newcomer to Water colour. I wondered if you ever add embroidery to your abstract WC projects.
yes- I add embroidery often and have done full collections with embroidery . “Finding Frida One Stitch at a Time”, was my most recent collection .
@@allisondawrant I must look for those embroidered works then. Would they be on UA-cam? Have you done a video explaining the process and preparation for adding embroidery? Crazy Quilting has been my ‘thing’ for the past few years, where there are no rules, just do it. Now I’m excited to try this new (to me) project.
so nice
thanks so much
I see big beautiful balloons, clowns and cotton candy
When I want my paint to drip I blow oh the large puddles with a straw. Love the effect. Have you ever tried that
Great idea!
Ohhh so nice!!! 😍🔝🔝 Could you tell me what colours do you use please? I'm in love of your palette ❤❤❤❤
thanks. I've added links to the watercolours in my description, but I mix and match, and don't have all of the names of the colours.
@@allisondawrant oohhh thank you so much!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🔝🔝🔝
Wondering what kind of water color pallet you use 😊 so lovely
i mix and match! a lot! haha
I just found your page, very inspiring. Im wondering where you get the wood cases for your watercolors? Thank you.
my dad made some., and others are bamboo from theoceanpaper.com :)
Allison, I’m wondering what you favourite art store is in Calgary?
i am finding pros and cons with each of them. i don’t have a favourite at this time. do you?
🎉what type brush & size are you using please?
I love a larger brush and tend to use Princeton round number 12. My “go to” brush .
I forgot to ask how you flatten your papers.
i spritz a flat surface and put them face up with parchment paper to protect the top , and lots of weight(flat large books)… at least 24 hrs.
I am just a hobby artist, but I turn my paintings over and iron them. I haven’t had any problems thus far. Hope this helps you.
I've heard of this! thanks for sharing@@BB-nz5sk
I tape it to a flat surface (or the paper block) with artist tape, saturate it with water and let it dry. Keep it taped while I paint. Prevents the warping. If in a hurry, the use of an hairdryer on the back of warped paper while paint is still damp might happen, with various results 😅
I use books to flatten out paper ❤
Add to your verb collection please.
can you elaborate , Linda?
