    After your last vid I pulled out an old charcoal pencil, drew and washed it with water and was astonished at the result ~ wonderful! Let it dry and water colored over and was very pleased. Have a lot more experimenting to do. Thanks for sharing all your graphic and art knowledge with us strangers!👍🙋🏼‍♀️

I have learned a great deal about how to use all of these mediums on youtube. I am happy that I found your channel and look forward to exploring more doing more with watercolor. Thanks! @@mindofwatercolor

      And I really really love trees too and am looking forward to watching your videos and drawing them. My view out of my lovely place is into an oak preserve and I often see the sunset through them over the mountains....I will branching out into trees and some landscapes soon. I loved watching you draw and your art

    I just love these pencils. Do you still need to use fixative on the charcoal paits, or does it stay like watercolour?

    • @mindofwatercolor
      @mindofwatercolor  2 роки тому +1

      It stays if it's been wetted. If the charcoal from the pencils is still dry it probably needs to be fixed. Pan color is fine without,

    I bought your M Graham WC set a while ago and put some of them in the wells of a palette. If I did a charcoal drawing (shadows and all) and then painted over it with my WC, would it ruin the pans to dip a charcoal laden brush in them or should I squeeze paint from the tubes to prevent contaminating py palette?

      I doubt it would ruin them. Watercolor in pans is easily cleaned off if it becomes a bit contaminated. Happen a lot with other colors actually. No different.

      @mindofwatercolor  2 роки тому +1

      @@stephw1363 Yes, I meant any paint in a palette pan not just pre-poured pans. Once paint has firmed up in the pan you can easily clean it off. It doesn't usually mix in unless you've actually mixed it in. Contaminating colors mostly sit on top. Charcoal color acts like any other color.

    Hey Steve, thank you for video. How do you choose you picture to draw or paint. When i am looking at a reference i usually goes which pic speak to me and spark creativity. How do you choose your subject? Do you have a system in choosing your subject? i have a feeling that you have access to way more ref. pics than i do

    • @mindofwatercolor
      @mindofwatercolor  2 роки тому

      The reasons vary. I use photos for inspiration mostly and often use the same criteria as you. No system really. I actually use as much free reference as possible.

  • @essietangle9931
    @essietangle9931 2 роки тому +2

    Steve, after you finish, do you think it will need a sealer of some sort or is it pretty much smear free after the water? Yep it’s me, Essie.

    • @mindofwatercolor
      @mindofwatercolor  2 роки тому +1

      I probably will fix it so the unwetted charcoal won't smear. It's resistant to smear after the water but not all strokes got water.

    • @mindofwatercolor
      @mindofwatercolor  2 роки тому

      Probably the subject I have painted and drawn the most. Over 40 years of it. In that time you tend to build up a mental library. My love of interesting trees also makes me very observant of them when I see them so I'm paying attention to striking details. I also keep an extensive collection of inspirational pieces from other artists on Pinterest.
