Actually, doing thorough experiments, I discovered that cauliflowers don't appear because the paper is not wet enough, but because the consistency (pigment to water ratio) on paper is thicker than the paint we add. If you have a very thin (tea like) wash, you can do whatever you want, even when it dries (well, except going with an even more diluted paint). On the other hand, if you have a thick wash (lots of pigment), you will get cauliflowers if you come with a tea of coffee like mixture, even if the paper shines a lot. Regarding cauliflowers or more generally pigment diffusion, timing is not that important, but pigment consistency (paper vs brush) is key: always paint thick on thin, that's the secret 😉
Even your "doodles" look more like art than when I'm trying to make art 😂😂 You are the first person that made me understand what is going on with wetness and paint (out of dozens I am following and have watched). Everyone else just says "you wet your paper, you do this and that bla bla" and then you wonder why everything sucks on your own paper 🙄 Thank you!
I recommend to try another wet-in-wet technique many Russian painters use. You need a polyester board and wet the paper from the back and front. Because of the fact that the paper stays wet longer you can much more manage the paint (ideally tube paint) and you can very easily lift paint where it is too strong or you want to have whites, best is cotton rag min. 300g/m2. As the paper is "glued" to the polyester board by water, it does not buckle, another great advantage!
@@LironYan I follow the work of Joëlle Fagot, a French watercolour artist, she mostly uses this technique. It's quite comfortable because it provides for more time, time, time ;-) I try to give the link hier : ua-cam.com/channels/qo_N3wBwYlSQFqjL0eNJeQ.htmlfeatured Les aquarelle de Joelle de Normandie.
I tried this, but because it dried soo slowly I found it frustrating, I ended up waiting a long time between the stages and pretty much doing nothing. And I even made some mistakes because the paper was always wetter than I would have liked. So I think it is about what you are used to and expect, and also what your subject matter is. Maybe if I am planning a large detailed painting I would consider this as one "solution" for how I will paint it
I've heard it called water control but you explained it more clearly to me, re. water vs paint control. I often go straight from the pigment well to the painting especially if I am not mixing colors, but now I see using the palette helps to judge how much water/movement is within the brush as well. Brilliant Liron
Yes matching the wetness of the psint to the wetness of the paper takes a bit of practice. One can always wait to dry fully and rewet the area but you can't really take back the blooms. Unless of course you want blooms which I sometimes do! Thanks Liron.😊👍
Haha indeed! (: And I will add that the next layer will always feel a bit different in terms of pre-wetting the paper. It’s definitely possible, but the paper will receive the next layer a little differently so it takes more getting used to
This lesson was so helpful Liron...learning what to do at different stages as the paint dries. You have a wonderful teaching style and I'm learning so much from your videos. Thank you!! 😊
I was struggling with wet on wet but your demonstration made it very clear. Not just seeing how the wetness looks on the paper, but to understand how the paints blend and react in the correct amount of water. Thank you for that.
I would love to see how to fix a cauliflower. Also when there is a hard edge next to a wash, and I don’t want it, what’s the best way to fade the hard edge without making a light spot in the wash? Not sure I’m being clear🤷♀️ Actually a tutorial on fixing common mistakes would be awesome! Thank you for your videos! You are a ray of sunshine in these sad days in the US.
Great idea Lisa! Thank you 😊🙏🏼 I’ll definitely do that (: I have shown a bit of what you refer to (regarding softening a dry edge) here - ua-cam.com/video/KVFWeGRUmf4/v-deo.html But I should do a full video on fixing mistakes (:
@@LironYan thanks 🙏🏼 Blending wet on wet scare me a lot …. I have to keep Practice practice practice. how to keep the paper shinning when painting on 1 piece of one entire image that is 9x12 inches or 17x 22 centimeters? 🥴🥴🥴
@@JosefinaH33 I suppose you already found out, but you can always wet a piece of your figure/paper, apply the paint letting a margin without any paint and then re wet the remaining pieces and painting then. you leave the margin with no paint until you end the whole figure, always fusing the water only margin with your new wash... I hope it makes sense. I live in a city with low humidity and that's the only way I found to deal with the paper drying on me 😅
So say your shape has dried.. now you want to come back. Say you wanted to do another glaze.. not wet on dry. You wet the area again, and then can you start with the tea intensity or do you have to continue with the darkest dark you put on in the last session before it dried? Thank you so much Liron.. this was great.
Thanks Liron very instructive. More times than not I have the wet on wet the way I want and I need to washout to add a reflection or bring the light. At what point in the process can that be accomplished and not create undesired effects
Thanks for this - love the detail. Wet in wet is more tricky than a lot of tutorials would have you believe. And trying to balance the amount of water on paper, brush and in paint mixes is complicated - especially when you also factor in the drying time. Practice, practice, practice.
Great and clear tutorial Liron on one of the most challenging aspects of watercolor. Love how you make the process of painting and drying so visual. Helps a lot! Thanks so much.
I actually cried during my last watercolor class, because my wet and wet was such a mess. I couldn't fix it no matter what, even after three tries. I specifically went on UA-cam to see how you handle it and I am willing to give this another try with much more success. Thank you so much.
Ok, I tried your suggestions in this video, and it worked great! Controlling the watercolor has been a problem for me. This video is so good, as this is an important concept to know. Thx for the thorough, clear explanation.
This was so helpful. I live in the Arizona desert and find wet on wet a challenge because it dries so quickly. I’m a beginner so I’m hoping as I learn more and get quicker with my strokes, I’ll have better luck with this technique. Thanks for the lesson.
It's my pleasure, thank you for watching 😊🙏🏼 For this kind of climate, I would recommend generally working much wetter, and in more washes (because the washes are wetter = lighter, you may need more washes).
Thank you. I came upon this video by pure chance. Makes me want to paint. I'm afraid I've forgotten so much after many years. But you have lit the flame. So thank you dear friend. Marcia in Modesto
LIGHTBULB MOMENT! Haha ty so much. Idk if I was taught this or my brain thought it made sense but…when my paper started to dry & I wanted to blend more I added watery paint because bringing the paper back to wet seemed to make sense. This helped me SO MUCH. I have never seen it explained to add thicker paint & why.
Thanks for teach, I like use watercolor coz can taste with smooth gradient color, but sometimes getting stuck with make a layer (example for coloring 🌺)
A really useful video lirón, thank you. As you say, us beginners struggle very much with this. I’m going to rewatch this a few times for it to really sink into my head!!
You could not have been clearer. Thank you for making the process understandable, able to reproduce, and showing how to avoid mistakes. I look forward to watching more of your videos.
You are a very good teacher Mr. Yanconsky 😊. My question is when you said ' when it has crossed that 30%, you let it dry and revisit" by revisit do you mean to re wet it afyer letting it dry completely?
I've just found your channel and I'm so glad I did. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge. I'm new to watercolour so your channel will be very helpful.
Thanks for the video. I would love to see a video teaching wet on wet with a lot of colors (like in a flower) but avoid creating hard lines. I always have to at the end come with a brush to smooth these unwanted hard lines. If there is a way to avoid them to be created I would love to learn how to. Thanks
Really nice demo Liron, just wanted to add that it also depends on the quality and type of the paper and even the brand of the paints. Right? Also some colours spread more and some less, depending on the ingredients. It takes a lot of experimentation, which is one of the most fun parts of painting with watercolour. Thanx for your videos, looking forward for your next one!
Thank you 😊🙏🏼 And you are indeed correct! The paper and paints will also have an effect on drying times, as well as the movement patterns of paint within wet areas (:
It’s also so dependent on the paint too. There is this yellow that I use (something that starts Nick? ) that guaranteed, no matter how thick or thin my paint to water ratio is, the yellow will always overtake and push apart other colors.
At some point, the paper will be too dry to charge-in color. So, after letting the paper dry fully, can I re-wet the paper with water and finish charging-in more color? Or, will that make a mess?
Yes, that is definitely possible as long as you use high quality cotton paper (: And the 2nd wash will always feel slightly differently (because the paper’s “receptiveness” is a little different once it soaked a bit of paint already), but will will work, and as long as you do it gently it shouldn’t lift the previous wash (again, on good quality paper! On anything that’s a pulp paper it may make a mess)
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!... ❤️... Some says that this second stage (just after the shine) is WHEN we can open whites with a thursty brush... but also that some colours can not be taken off... and that some papers are easyers for white's opening than others... Personaly I find that this stage is THE ONLY moment to add successfuly creamy paint for it melts well with the 1st wash... However, it's very difficult to manage humidity and specially when we work on big surfaces... Thank you, it's finaly clear in my head, what paper's look we need for each action... and when I must stop and wait complete drying before to start again... Last question, please, is it better to stretch the paper before or not? If stretching helps that water enters faster in, is it a good idea and why? Thank you in advance... Have a nice day!
Thank you 😁 I like to fully break down technique at its very basic / "scientific" core. That way I mostly avoid forcing the "how or when to use it" part, and avoid venturing into any style / taste related territory.

Thankyou so much for this excellent tutorial. Now I understand...I think!
This is quite counterintuitive - I always assumed cauliflowers were caused by the paper being too wet! Thanks!

But mainly it's indeed when introducing water to "too dry" paint.

Great explanation Liron. So simple and yet fundamental to good technique. I am going to hold this in my mind every time I pick up a brush. Thank you.
Thank you James, very happy this helps 😁 Another intuitive skill to the huge pile that’s a part of learning watercolor
Super instruction! Thank you!❤
Another great video! Do you have a video on different types of brushes and which types to recommend for different purposes? Thanks.

If there's a hard edge where I don't want one, I'll see if I can at least soften it a bit.
But then I simply let it dry, and continue afterwards with an additional layer.
And if anything is imperfect - I'm find with that 😉
This was very helpful. Thanks!
Maybe good to see how this works in doing a full painting, e.g. a portrait, as I struggle with that sometimes.
Will do! Will try and show more of the sheen in one of the upcoming demos (:
