    The most important tip of watercolor:
    Use 2 water jars: 1 for cleaning your brush, the other for clean water.

    Man I wish you were my dad, I love art and I’m trying to purse art as a career in my future (I’m in Highschool) but my dad makes it difficult. He doesn’t even acknowledge my art at all, it hurts me and I always imagine having a good dad, someone who cares about me and what I love

    • @JennsCorner777
      @JennsCorner777 2 роки тому +27

      I'm sorry. My dad wasn't the best either but towards the middle of his life he changed for the better, apologized and tried his best. Parents are flawed people too, we make many, many mistakes and regret things in our lives and regret some of the things we did parenting our children. You keep going with your art, do it for YOU. If no one else ever tells you this, just remember you are worthy. Your feelings, your life, your dreams and desires and ART all matter in this world. Sometimes parents forget that their children need reassurance and acceptance. Keep your head up and keep pursuing your passions. You're doing a great job, you're awesome. My dad has passed on now, I only have my mom left I'm 36 and she still doesn't accept the path I've taken in life, she says she does but it's obvious that's not the case. Sometimes we have to be secure enough in our decisions to not let important people in our lives sway us. In a few more years you'll be an adult and on your own, even then parental support helps but we keep growing and evolving and eventually get to the point where no one else's opinion matters as much as our own. Find your version of happy and let the rest go. I pray this helps and that you see your true value and how lovely and important your art is.

  • @marialeayala2504
    @marialeayala2504 2 роки тому +4

    I love to start using the darkest tones! I use purple for shadows, and start my illustrations by painting the shadows so the color is not so purple at the end then I do the highlights with yellow or orange, and at last the mid tones. I do this because my watercolor style is more blended than stylized and that is what works the best for me so if you're a beginner in watercolors, don't be afraid to experiment, what's beautiful of watercolors is how versatile they are and how easily it can be adapted to any art style!

    I went to visit my grandmother over the summer, she was and still is a professional artist. I’d also call myself an artist, she showed me around her studio and gave me her old travel watercolor kit. It’s a small palette with a bit less than 10 colors in it. I’ve been using it for all watercolor artwork since she gave it to me.

    Another tip for beginners:
    Cheap watercolor palettes often have chalk in them! I would recommend getting tubes or higher quality, more expensive palettes because chalk changes the texture of the paint. Hope this helps!

    Watercolor pencils are the best. You can use them like regular pencils and smooth them out later or you can lift the pigment straight off the pencil. They also have alot of pigment for coverage, and are easy to push around. I love using them.
