Just some advise for when you do a watercolor pour. It’s good to have a loose sheet of paper rather than working from a block. Then you can manipulate your paper to move the water around on the surface. It’s not just tipping back and forth but rather it allows you to contour the page to move the water into various areas. It is also good to use for pipettes to add water to your paint and to add the paint to your watercolor paper. In your example, when you dropped the paint onto the paper and then used your brush to push the paint around that’s not considered a watercolor pour. Your final outcome turned out beautifully. Your advice about the masking fluid was very valuable.
This turned out so well! I’ve avoided investigating watercolour pouring as a technique. I thought it would be too messy and uncontrollable. You’ve made me rethink this process. Thank you once again for sharing. 🙏🏼✨🎨💕
Thank you so much for sharing this technique! I purchased these on a Black Friday sale a few years ago. While they were fun, they were in my use or loose it drawer for this year. I had not found a reason to use these rather than traditional watercolors. Thanks for the inspiration and reminder to try them again. Also, can you please link the large ceramic butcher tray palette?

Just a tip for masking fluid application. You can use dental tools, or mail decorating tools. They work great and easy to clean and it gets you clean edges! 😊
Heavens to Betsy ! Wholly Molly ! That was nuts. First, I was so scared for you. Then boom it was a master piece. NICE WORK, LIVING ON THE EDGE 🙊🙊👍🏻👍🏻🙌👌
I’m glad you did this. I’ve been curious too! Now I may have to try this. LOL A note on tape; I’ve tried them ALL! Seriously the best, in my opinion is ‘Frog Tape’. No, or very little seepage even with lots of water. It’s green. Find it at paint supplies at the hardware stores.
This was amazing to watch and what a gorgeous painting. Can’t wait to see what else you do with these drops. I will totally be trying this once I get a few extra bucks for the supplies. I do have some liquid watercolors already so maybe that would work?
One of the drawbacks to watercolor with really saturated wet on wet is that darn color shift. Of course, if you know what you're doing, you can use that lightening to your advantage, as you demonstrated. Thanks for showing an experimental approach to it. I've watched some pretty amazing experienced pouring artists do some mind-boggling work. Really beautiful results, and your painting was beautiful, too.
Watercolour is a wet medium by definition though. There are plenty of paints that don't have such a dramatic drying shift. This is obviously specific to this product. You could mix up a larger amount of a paint you know doesn't shift so much and "pour" it just as easily and get the result you want.
What perfect timing! I just ordered the Schminke set (the one without the liner) on Blick. It still hasn't even shipped out yet. Thought they would be fun to play around with, esp for background washes. Very happy to see you use this set. Thank you!
Fantastic lesson Emily ! I follow Buffy Kaufman / Watercolor Pour on YT & she is fascinating *as you are too Doll * I haven't tried as of yet , but WOW ! Love the end result. Looking forward to more of your wonder , Thank you so much x
Your painting turned out beautifully! I wonder if it would be more vibrant if you just used the color straight from the bottle instead of diluting with water in the small ceramic palette? Idk, but it is a gorgeous painting & I loved watching you create it with your cute puppy :)
Your painting turned out wonderfully! We are really glad that you enjoyed painting with our Aqua Drops! 🥰🥰🥰
Thanks so much for stopping by my channel! I liked the set so much I ordered the set of primaries, too! 😀
@@EmilyOlsonArt We can't wait to see what else you can create with our Aqua Drops :)
So fun. Never tried this technique but it turned out just great!
Thank you, Steve! I’d LOVE to see what you could do with this technique!
It turned out beautifully. Pouring paint is so wild. Sometimes, it fails, but when it works, it is fabulous.
This is the first time I've heard of watercolor pouring. Gorgeous and looks like fun. Thanks for sharing.

I was watching on my phone and found myself tilting it when you were pouring. Lol!
ooooh these paints look really fun!! 😍😍
That turned out gorgeous! I'm not that daring, but maybe with your instruction I can do this!
I loved watching the multiple layers of masking fluid. 😊
Beautiful painting ! It does look like a lot of fun. Your pup is so cute.

That looks like so much fun! Thanks for sharing your experience with us
quite impressive! Gotta try. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! All these new products! I have some (old) Winsor & Newton Brilliant Watercolors that I may try this technique with. 🤞
Inspired!
Amazing!
Wow that’s great for some soft textured background!! Gorgeous details & great colors. Thanks for sharing this wonderful way of painting.
Absolutely love Lanaquarelle paper it’s my go to!!! Though I buy it in imperial sheets
That's a fantastic job on your first try.
I'm still slowly working on just regular watercolor, though, I have watched a few pours.
Thank you, Emily. 🌹
I got the aquarium drops last year but haven’t given them a real try. You’ve inspired me to get them out!

This came out beautifully!! Thank you!
Thank you
Wow beautiful 😍
Beautiful! Loved it ❤

Could that work eith gouache?

Except you can just mix up paint you already have for the exact same purpose and get better results.

Lanaquarell is my favorite paper in the whole world. I just can’t afford it lol XD
It’s SO nice!
The soap tip; Do you know if that will work with gesso too?
