We agree, the paper really does play an especially important role in this technique. Wet-in-wet really works best on good quality, 100% rag watercolor paper- the sizing and strong paper fibers let the paint travel gradually in at least somewhat predictable ways, to a beautiful surface. Thanks for de-mystifying this under-used technique!
Thanks for another kind and helpful comment! LOVE Blick stores for all the quality papers! 🙌
I appreciate you demonstrating how wet the paint should be. That's something I wasn't sure about.
Lots of trial and error! :)
Hi Emily! Just want to let you know that this video is just so helpful! I think the first time I’ve done wet-on-wet properly on a painting was after watching one of your older videos, but this one knocks it out of the park by breaking down the principles. Very cool! 😸
Very kind comment! I'm thrilled to hear the explanation was easy to understand!
I recently learned a nifty tip from Mind of Watercolor whose name I am sorry to say I don't know. Oik. Anyway, he said that when you have too much water on your brush, but don't want to lose any pigment, blot the brush on to paper towel or rag, but ONLY at the ferrule.
That's a great tip! Love Steve Mitchell! 😄
Beautiful squirrel !
I absolutely love your lessons! I joined your on watercolor mastery and am learning a lot! Totally worth it!
I love water color my fav medium, cool cat tail painting
SUPER helpful --- thank you so much!!!
Thank you for this sooo helpful video 😍
I buy his calendar every year. I love his watercolor
Amazing demo! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you! I've been looking for this technique, and finally found this video. Just subscribed.
Welcome!
Hello Emily. I love this tutorial on wet on wet, love the easy to follow instructions you give. 😊
Glad you enjoyed, Marika! Thanks as always for watching!
I wish more videos included such helpful examples. Thanks Emily! 👏👏
You're most welcome!
Wow. This is sooo incredibly helpful. The examples are also very helpful. Thank you so much.
Thanks Emily for another brilliant video and so very helpful. XX

Great tips, great energy. Thank you. 💚
Thanks for watching!
Great tips, thank you!
You bet!
Thank you so much for doing the close ups.
You are so welcome!
Very helpful video 🙏 Emily
So glad!
This is a great little video, full of good practical tips and inspiration for artfully capturing the natural essence of our feline subjects--in less than 8 minutes!
Penovac is a master! Thank you for exploring a little bit his technique 😊
My pleasure! His cats are *goals*!
4:36 is *exactly* what I got every I tried your black cat tutorial. I thought it was a paper wetness issue and never figured it out. I will have to try that again now that I know it was the brush wetness.
Also, I think think the tinted water mistake could be a nice intentional effect. Even in the example it kind of frames the cat. I could see that working with the right color and shape.
And thanks for showing several different issues side-by-side. That really helps me understand how something works, especially when there are multiple factors interacting.
So glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful!
Thank you so much, this is very helpful.
You're very welcome!
this was so helpful, Emily! Thanks!
Yay! Happy to help!
Great video thanks
Cool techniques, thanks for sharing
You bet!
This is like yutaka murakami’s paintings which are delightful as well!
Excellent video. ❤
Something more to practice. Thanks!
You bet!
Excellent tips. I love this style and have been looking for a tutorial to explain it in simple terms. Thanks Emily!
Glad it was helpful!
So very helpful. I so appreciate how you explain techniques. Clear and concise and so supportive. Thankyou Emily. You are a great teacher and artist.
Glad it was helpful!
This was so helpful and beneficial. Thank you ☺️
You are so welcome!
wow at last the perfect explanation 👌 thank you so much! ☺️
My pleasure!
Thank you so much for explaining a complex technique so clearly. It was a great video and you are a great teacher 🌸
You are so welcome!
love this video and love how you plugged your book dvertisement at the end not overpowering just a short notice. Love your style. I should make a list of the little projects I want to try this winter.
Thanks so much!!
Thank you for the free e-books. I really like how you make watercolor seem easy.
Glad you like them!
I love the fact that you say good watercolor paper matters for the final outcome. I had this discussion before with my instructor who can paint anything on any kind of paper and she disagreed with me. When she used good paper, she got better outcomes. When I used anything other than Arches, my paintings suffered. Use good paper people!!
HELLO Thank you…..
I Love the concise information you shared to the Point..very helpful ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Helpful video. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful. Thanks.

Thanks for this, I love this technique and it is perfect for so many fuzzy animals!
Glad you like it!
Love your to the point informations! Your videos are so well done. Very inspiring ❤❤❤❤ from Quebec, Canada.
Thank you, Chantal!
Very informative video! I've always been interesting in how this style of painting is accomplished. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks so much for the clear description and for showing how those mistakes happen. The information (and lots of practice) should help us avoid some of the "nots" in the future.
My pleasure! Thanks for stopping by my channel!
This was so helpful ! You explained it so well. I’m brand new at this and I’m excited to try what you just taught me 😁
I'm so glad!
FYI: I have watched several of your videos and they are all great - but this is the one that got me to subscribe! 😊
Thank you, Amy!
Thank you so much for the lesson 😘 your new subscriber. Now I understand and cant wait to play with my brush and painting ❤️
You’re welcome 😊
I've followed him for years and always wondered what the trick was! Thank you❤️
I've never actually watched him paint, so this is my best (educated) guess! 😄
Emily, this video is a shining example of why I am a subscriber. Your teaching technique, excellent camera work and information are all top notch. Showing examples of errors were especially helpful, and explaining why it happened. My tendency is to use too much water, b/c when I first started I was watching a British painter, Alwyn Crawshaw, on our local PBS station. He felt that beginners were too timid with water, and always ended the program stating, "Remember, bags of water!". 🤣
Wow, thank you! What a kind comment! I don't think "bags of water" is wrong! Just wrong for this technique. 🤣
Fab technique I bet it's not as easy as it looks? although I'll give it a go. Thank you for sharing.
I'm not even halfway through this video (first one I'm watching from you) and already subscribed. You are so eloquent, fun and pleasant to watch, your tips are educational but subtle in attitude (gently nudging I should say lol) - and the subjects alone are the best! Thank you for making the videos and being so inspiring!
That is such a kind compliment! Thanks so much for checking out my channel! ❤
Ditto
Thank you so much for the video. I have been struggling with wet in wet technique. Though I cannot always use 100 percent cotton sheet, the rest of the tips will make an immense difference. Rewinded and ran the video so many times 😄
Awesome! Hope it helps!
Спасибо 🙏 очень полезный урок
Rice paper too. It is , after all a Japanese technique . Endre Penovic is the western master at this .
Lamp Black works great for fuzzy edges.
Agree!
I subbed, I love your tutorials, but only just found you. Jo in France 🇫🇷
Thanks for subbing!
I have tried this with Arches. Guess I just need to practice more in this.
Thank you, Emily, for showing us all the combinations & details of the water control for this technique. And thank you for introducing us to Endre Penovac. I love his cats! Can't wait to give this a try.
Yay! Have fun!
Thank you so much for the pet colors download it is soo very helpful.
Especially for the example and teaching about color mixing.
I have only one question, do you ever use white, as my SylviQ is mostly white. She is a Maltese❤️💝
I almost never use white paint, except for small details at the end like whiskers--I try to preserve the white of the paper for my whites. It's a backwards way of thinking if you're used to working with opaque media, but get's easier with practice.
Synthetic Ox Gall can help a lot too, especially on a cery dry day or day with the AC blasting. Be warned though that the Synthetic Ox Gall can make the paint lift a little, even if it's 100% dry, but that isn't really a problem if you incorporate this into the process.
I didn't realize the paper texture would make such a big difference. I would have figured hot press would allow paint to flow better because there isn't texture to slow down the water absorption and pugment movement, but I alost exclusively work with hot press and paint tightly, so I just don't have the milage to have known. Thanks for this info! I worried I was just a failure lmao!
Hello Emily, thanks for this excellent video. Just a question ¿which pigments do you recommend, additionally to Moonglow? Spreading is not the same for all the pigments
Paint flow is a great thing to test when you do your test swatches. You are right, some pigments flow slowly with more resistance, and others react effortlessly. You can't go wrong with most professional brands of paints. Daniel Smith is my favorite!
How can you get the soft fuzzy edges without wet on wet. I like wet on dry
Thank you very much i am having a very hard time with trees and bushes. I just dont kno what im doing wrong
Great idea for a video! 👍
Hola, me encanta tu arte, me encanta tu canal, estoy enferma y estos tips me ayudan a pasar el día a día. Me encantaría que tus vídeos se puedan traducir al español, no sé inglés y cuando doy clic para que se traduzca al español no se generan los subtítulos. Muchas gracias.
Gracias!
I’m a watercolour newbie, wonder if I can do this? I will give it a go..
Yes, I hope you'll try it! 🙌
Thank you. I have been unable to perfect this. I see now that I have violated every one of these, lol.
Oh, me too! 😄
Very helpful. But still scared! Ha!
You can do it!
How do I get BLACK.
The colour dries grey/light black.
Is it the thickness of the paint?
Yes, it's most likely too washed out. More pigment and less water = darker values.
what about on stretched watercolor paper?
It should work the same way. :-)
Sorry for wrong video this is a cat tail in which I commented… oops I thought it was the squirrel vid
I can’t stop the stupid paper from drying unless I soak it.
i always end up with a huge mess when trying to paint like this lol
Extremely helpful!! Thank you!
So glad!
