Fun fact: Laovaan let me paint the first seconds of this video with the mission "Try to ruin this painting as much as you can" so he could do some fixing afterwards :D
so the first painting is yours
well done still
I love to know it!
It's terrible! Good job with making a good example! :D
That would actually be a good idea for him to do
That’s cute and fun indeed.
That was such a beautiful painting of Connor. Number 4 really called me out 👀 I have to learn how to wait for paint to dry
Sameee!
Once its a little less wet you can use a hair drier to dry it faster
I had that happen the other day, hadn’t realised it was still a bit wet.
hhhh filthy frank was the last thing I expected
Ikrrrrr hope laovaan does a full piece on him😍😍
That was a really nice Connor painting. I really like blue toned drawings and hate how school ruins my schedule for watching art vids...
The moment you realise that in one video laovaan thaught you more than 4years with your art teacher
Also 7:55 this is extremely satisfying
Haha soo true!!
Exactly the reason I love water watercoloring
It problably because he actually takes a few more seconds to explain things a little more, and give examples as to how it can be done and errors to avoid. Most art teachers give u an art supply, do minimal explaining and let u go. Of course the point of art schools is to let u try out and expand. maybe try new art supplies u've never done before. So its great to learn/use art supplies uve never touched, but without a good understanding can result in dislike for a supply due to confusion and it doesnt help when u ask for advice and they just say keep trying or give incomplete info. I get learning, but its hard to want to learn a supply when u dont know what up with it or whats wrong.
I tend to rely on youtube (dont have money for skillshare really.) As most of the people understand and try to make sure they note things beginners stuggle with. Again good to try lots of supplies not the best on how to use them or get tips on them for.
Back to a good old watercolor tutorial again :D
I hope you find this video helpful and let me know if you have any questions x)
For the next videos I already have some plans * -* the next one will probably be about an expensive art tool, can you guess what it could be :D?
Laovaan Thank you so much! Ive been an artist for years but shied away from watercolors for a while. I am finally seeing results and it's thanks to your videos :) blessings and thank you again!
Thanku m8 really helped ,
Btw do water colour cakes loose any of their good things when they get old? (I HV been using the same cakes for 3 to 4 yrs and now I want to take it serious)
Also which water colour would u recommend which are cheap and good
Lastly how do u use colour pencils in ur painting (may be a video idea).......Which of the colour pencils are good as well as mid range cheap?
Dude u r awesome
Thanks so much for this great video! I really like the style of your videos, educational with a funny/meme side :D Keep it up!
Have you done any videos about urban drawing or architecture?
Laovaan I have a question about the drying process.
How many minutes or seconds should I wait until the water dries out? I saw a video on painting skin when you mention you used a light wash before going in with the desired color with not too much water. I notice you are patient when you paint the skin by letting it dry first.
I admire u wasting your art supplies to teach us fools. I appreciate u! 😭❤
my biggest nemesis is waiting for paint to dry. lol
And that's when the hairdryer becomes the hero
I think being impatent is my biggest fault in painting 😔
Same
I'm impatient in everything that comes with art
So I have to fix that, but I just want to see the masterpiece come out in 2 minutes and move onto the next one
Your watercolor skills are AMAZING!!! and your art is AWESOME as well!!!!
Thank you! You inspired me to try watercolor and as someone completely new to art I find this kind of videos extremely helpful. Keep up the great work!
bless you for the tips and for making Xiumin beautiful
really nice watercolor of Connor from detroit 1:52. Somehow i miss that one but I love the colors, the eyes are sparkling
So much attention to details and sound effects :D great video and great jokes as always ❤
3:20 Damn Laovaan true but hits hard man
Thank you so much ! Your watercolor tutorials are always so helpful. I definitely find myself guilty of some of those mistakes. Now, I know what I have to work on.
Nice tip on mixing versus pushing pigment together!
I don't know why but i think the third picture he was painting was of (FROM EXO) xiumin😁
I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS COMMENT BC I COULDN'T BE THE ONLY ONE WHO SAW IT. I'M SURE IT WAS HIM
Saaame ^^
He was, it was on his instagram
It is Xiumin! He drew him as a commission :)
THIS IS THE COMMENT I WAS LOOKING FOR
Omg those examples were absolutely stunning!! 😮
You’re the best art teacher I’ve ever had. I’ve watched UA-cam videos for years, but yours are the only ones that completely make sense to me and make me feel confident that I understand things. Please continue making watercolor tutorials!
Thank you for this, I am trying to transition between being thoroughly proficient in oils and struggling in Water colour...this tutorial has really helped
Sometimes I feel like you are a wizard 😃. I always get to learn so much from you 😃. I observe your videos and try to implement all the techniques myself 😃. You keep me motivated all the time 😃. I am about to hit 500 subs .... And these small achievements make me feel so happy 😃.
Thank you so much! I realised I did the mixing instead of blending and I was way too impatient. Thank you, because of you someone who thought I couldn't possibly do art well gave me some hope and I think I might be able to improve!
really awesome video! The way you explained and showed everything is really helpful! GJ
Thank you so much. #4 and 5 is what I was struggling with. I like doing large pieces. So excited to see what I can create now that I have a better understanding. I love your portraits and awesome videos!
i'm just starting to learn a little about watercolor, and i'm so grateful for you videos
I could just listen to your voice. It’s mesmerising. That aside massive thankyous for such informative and easy to follow tutorials. You are a genius with water colour.
It really helped me out! Thanks. I also loved ur drawing of urself in the video XD
Really loved the video! I have always been a fan of yours and tried to paint portraits but could never got values right and always got my paintings to be muddy. This helped a lot! Thanks
Amazing, helpful and funny video as always. Keep up with the good work! ♡
I have always found your tutorials very helpful, even your speedpaints are helpful because I always learn a lot from your techniques.
Wow, gorgeous😍😍. You are very well and clearly told.
At 6:17 I was thinking HOW COULD YOU KNOW MY SITUATION????????😂😂😂😂
I love this, thank you! I'm a begginer and these tips are great. Love from Czechia! 💙💖
Thank you for making this video, it really helps me a lot with how apparently I need to focus on the watercolours. And also, I see a Chloe and a Connor there, so welcome to the fandom anytime!
You have an amazing voice. Your techniques are equally good and easy to follow. Thankyou
Thank you so much, this is really helpful and informative! As someone trying to branch out to different media, your videos are a great resource, and I love your art style. I'm getting back into watercolours because of your content, super inspiring. :)
Thank you so much!! This is really helpful!
I needed this. I just got some water colors, and paper. I have used them before, but have been wanting to REALLY get into it.
Loved the bit about pure (or was it just single) pigments. I’ve seen a comment like that before, possibly the same one and thought it made sense, still your spiral was hilarious.
Oml I love your art and voice ✨
I am so excited to paint skin with watercolor thanks to you Laovaan. You have really inspired me. I also LOVE your art so much. Cant wait for the next video
Richtig geil gefilmt, man hat einfach jeden Punkt, den Du erklärt hast, gut verstanden und ich bin direkt inspiriert und möchte jetzt was mit diesen Tipps machen !:-)) Danke für deine Videos!!:D
Thank you so much for making this, because there were a lot of things which I didn't actually know I was doing wrong or not doing at all :D
BEST WATERCOLOR TUTORIAL EVERRRRRRR!! Ur the best!
These tips are super helpful I love them!!
so helpful!! thank you!! ❤️
Thank you, I already knew most of this from school but watching those watercolour paintings suddenly made me wanting to do it again. I used to dread watercolour a lot because I'm not the most patient person and even though my teacher tried to tell me otherwise, I was still convinced in my last year that I sucked.
Very helpful tips. Thank you, much love for you and your channel
Thank you so much Laovaan, great tutorial.
This was so helpful! Thanks!
I didn’t know about the difference between synthetic and natural brushes. It was very helpful
Thank you! Really helpful!!
Wow, you’re a really talented artist!
This video was so incredibly helpful as I was making all these mistakes!! Thank you!
You're so talented and I love everything you create. I hope to grow my skills to your level soon 😍
this is so helpful i will definitely keep this in my mind every time i paint or draw with water color pencils
Super hilfreiches Video mit vielen lustigen Detail! Toll editiert :D War sicher aufwendig. Aber, das hat gelohnt. ^_^
You've just answered every question I had about watercolor with this video.
Great tips!! Thanks for sharing! 😀😀
This was super helpful as I come over my fear of water color. I really need to dive into then, and get my pieces painted (2 pieces)
I am beginning to paint with watercolors and I love your videos, I have understood many things about watercolor that I did not know ...
That Connor from Detroit become human painting put a smile on my face :”)
What I love about Laovaan's videos is that he always manages to make me laugh, as well as impress me with such skill. I can get images to look realistic with my camera!
Even if I'm still no good and I watch lots of tutorials, yours are my favourites. You're so good at explaining things and give me mptivation to try more. Thanks!
I really like how you added your own examples to this video. Very educating! Im giving this video a like :)
Perfect and useful. I'm new to watercolor and I'll definitely take these into consideration.
I love your videos. This is soo helpful :-).
Thank you for your advices ! ^^
It's like you can read my mind. I just started with watercolor and really needed a video like this. Thankfully my mom paints with watercolor, so I've seen her paint and my mistakes aren't as bad as they could be.
Thank you sooo much for this video! It made me laugh and brightened my day!😊 It's a wonderful reminder on what not to do while I paint. Hehe it's been a while since I've painted anything, but I have been able to dabble in painting recently. Thank you again! It was very encouraging! 😁
You built a spark of hope in me..! In my college, I am expected to know all kinds of painting...i always sucked at water coloring but now you have empowered me and I'm not going to give up
thanks for helping me realize that I always fuck up due to starting too dark! You rock Laovaan :D
This is very very helpful. Thanks for making this video.
Danke! Das hat echt geholfen. ^^
Thank you for your tips !
jo, deine videos sind mal echt der Hammer!
Thank you so much!!! I don't really like to paint with watercolors because i'm so impatient and is so hard, but this video helped me so much!!!
Thank you for these videos!! They are so helpful for me as I am a beginner artist and I want to paint with watercolor. ❤❤ thanks!
That painting of Connor though. Very exquisite and well done♥️♥️♥️
Awesome video! And really, some very important tips! What I would like to add to the last point, the brushes, there are great synthetic brushes, which have extreme water capacity, like the da Vinci Casaneo and raphael soft aqua! For me they are a great alternative to sable, because they are not only vegan//at least not made from dead animals, and usually a bit cheaper! I can paint like everything i wish with a size 6 or 8 casaneo, both the details and bigger areas!
Damn deine Videos sind so hilfreich und unterhaltsam :DD I love ey💕
Amazing, thank you for the tips
Great video and tutorial,We used to find that you had to be reasonably quick in your progress when working with watercolor,and particularly quick when trying to fix mistakes,However we have probably been starting to dark to begin with.Really helpful video and Cheers from Australia
