Wow, spent months trying to find out how to paint so that it looked nice and the way I wanted it to. Cannot count the videos that I watched without understanding my problem. Then I watched this video and all of a sudden everything is clear. You tell everything in a way that makes it easy to understand. Of course I have to practice a lot to get as good as I would like to be though now I have fun. When knowing why and how to paint, it is such a pleasure. Also when making a mistake - I now know what I did wrong and can correct it. Thank you soooooo muxh. In my opinion you are the best teacher that I have ever seen and heard.
Thank you so much for showing a better way to deal with cauliflowers. The desire to work to long on an area that you think is still wet enough is really a temptation.
I'm here to learn how to create cauliflower edges, not remove them. See how you can work with it, instead of considering it a "problem". Watercolour doesn't do well with perfectionism and ocd, so let go and have fun! ❤
Thank you so much for generously sharing your experience. I am new to watercolor and have learned so much from your videos. Particularly liked the bonus painting. Such an elegant demonstration of how you resolve problems in the middle of a painting.
I've had to deal with this problem with acrylics too. I learned to go over the area with a dry brush to blend the cauliflower edges into the regular paint.
Thanks, Eric...i quite enjoyed the harbour painting, it was kind of magical (to me) how the clouds and sky worked...also, thinking about light to dark, i think that i miss out the multi-layered approach to waterm and even how it works in ship's hull. Always a pleasure!
Thank you Eric, for explaining the cauliflower problem so well! I added your page to my "subscibes" as you do such a good job of explaining why it happens and how to fix it if possible.
Grazie. Sei davvero bravo ti seguo sempre anche se non parlo bene inglese. Ma sei cosi tranquillo mettendo in pratica la teoria in modo che riesco a capirti. Grazie tanto le tue lezioni sono per me molto preziose. Mi piacerebbe incontrarti per le strade di Firenze e poter con te dipingere. UN SOGNO!!! Io vivo in Toscana ti aspettiamo a bracce aperte.

Very helpful Eric. I love listening to your explanations and always learn more by watching your demos. By the way, i also always enjoy the graphics of the Cafe Watercolor intro😊
Very helpful. My paintings suffer from a lot of cauliflowering. However, I'm quite unwilling to go over some washes because I've got some nice shapes by lifting paint off with a tissue and I worry that I cannot replicate the same shapes. 😂

I really appreciate your video and now I know what to do when I get unwanted cauliflowers. I have to mention that when looking at your painting it looks like you have two cauliflowers at the very top in the clouds, were they intentional?
Can you also show a few ways how to _not_ fix cauliflowers? Oh, wait, I can come up with that myself. Trying to blend the edges, trying to lift, trying to blow back the moisture, etc...

@@mikesamovarov4054 It’s a legit question - and nothing to do with OCD or perfectionism. If you don’t know the answer, or prefer not to answer, just say so. Don’t resort to unfounded assumptions about a person.
If it's dry there's not much you can do but accept it 😅 However, if it's in an area that you'll paint darker value on, you will just cover them up no problem.

So glad this is helpful for you 😊
Thank you, that's the first time I've actually understood what was going wrong with my washes, and a way to try and fix as well.
Thank you so much for showing a better way to deal with cauliflowers. The desire to work to long on an area that you think is still wet enough is really a temptation.
I came here to learn how to create those cauliflower edges, love them! Looks beautiful and special.
This video actually makes so much sense
I m not good on watercolours. Can’t control the flow of it. Thanks of this wonderful demonstrative video.🙏🏻👌🏻
This was one of the best instructional watercolor videos I've seen on UA-cam. Thank you.
Superb tutorial on water distribution and how it can disturb the evenness of pigment unintentionally
Thank you. I now know how to resolve undesirable cauliflower edges
Very informative, especially the more nuanced aspects of painting with watercolors.
This is the best explanation ever,,,I think its finally sinking in to my brain,,gosh,,I must be pretty hard headed!! Tx Eric!❤
Very helpful! I have never before understood how cauliflowers happen.
Love your sky and clouds! Beautiful work.
Thank you Eric,your demonstration is very clear and concise ♥️🇨🇦
Thanks for this helpful explanation on cauliflower edges.
Thanks for explaining this, I've been stumbling into this so many times and all my misguided attempts at fixing ended up making mud.
Did you know, using a reduced palette of only three pigments eliminates the chances of getting mud at all?

This has really helped me cos you explained why I get cauliflowers I never u understood before. New sub🤩
Thanks Eric!

Excellent. Always helpful. Do you have any sessions in Seattle?
Thanks
This vdo help a lot , thank you.

You are very good at explaining things. Thank you.
What about the cauliflower in the upper cloud, can it be fixed after it dried ?

I'm here to learn how to create cauliflowers. Love them! ❤
@@mikesamovarov4054 Good for you! 😋
How do you deal with cauliflowers once they’re dried?

Don’t believe we control water but work with it and as a beginner either go to wet or to dry. It’s a challenge know even best artists deal with it.
This is very helpful. Thank you!
Very helpful, thank you!
Thanks!
Beautiful painting.!
Sooo helpful! Thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks!
