I filmed the process for two of the watercolor pieces I did: the mushrooms and the forest sketch! Had to edit out some parts because my head dipped in, but for the most part the full process is on there. I sped it up 2x, and you can adjust the speed to be faster or slower with the gear button. 

I really enjoyed painting this one, I got into a nice flow of doing the basic gradients first and then adding more detail at the end with a thinner brush! In this sense it was very similar to my photoshop process, just gradually building up the detail and layering on shadows later on. I used masking fluid for the white spots on the red mushroom by the way, and the paints were either daniel smith or windsor & newton. 

Hope you enjoy and if you have any questions, feel free to ask away!!

Thank you for sharing this! I watched it over lunch today and will save the second one as edutainment for tea. It‘s very interesting how you process from loose to more detailed paintings and I think, I understand a thing or two about what has made watercolor so frustrating for me.

It's so calming to watch. Now I wanna pick-up my watercolors

for me, these kinds of watery inks (like watercolor and ecoline) work best if you go from rough shapes first to detailing at the very end!

@Anska "edutainment for tea" or lunch – that's a term I've been missing! I usually watch these kinds of videos during breakfast and lunch, too. :)

This is not really linked to watercolors, but I was wondering if you had any tips on how to shoot overhead videos like these without getting too self-conscious or stiff in your gestures and sketches?

These are so great 💛 What is the pasty stuff called that you used to create the white dots on the red mushrooms?

it's latex masking fluid! it can be peeled off at the end.

hey rali! good question, it's something I struggle with too haha. I made it kind of a habit to film my process and I don't always post every process video I make, which helps me mentally - it makes me realize that not everything needs to be shared, and that if I'm not happy with the outcome I can just leave it. that and put on some nice music or a podcast that makes you feel less "watched" haha.

@loish 🤯 I did not know of such a thing!

I love watching these, it's very soothing. I wonder how you go about choosing where to put the darkest shadows and lines, because I always tend to 'overline' my paintings by going over all the sketch lines with clean ones. It kinda flattens my work i think. Yours always feels very flowing and organic from sketch to final, it's lovely.

Oooh, that's such a brilliant mind-hack! And so much simpler than "trying" to be less self-conscious. Thank you, Lois! :)

that's a very intresting question! I think about this a lot in my digital art process, since I do a rough sketch and then go over it again with more lines, and then reconstruct some of the lines again at the very end. and in doing so, the main thing I've learned is to avoid re-tracing them again for a heavy effect. I am selective in which lines I emphasize, and which ones I leave light and soft! which is the same process I'm using here - just being picky and trying not to make the lines feel too heavy. I also used to 'overline' my work which is why I hold back on that now. all part of the learning process!

it's very useful, I definitely recommend it if you wanna paint in watercolors!

Thanks so much for the feedback! I'll try being more selective about which lines I paint over in my next work. Will resist the urge to just trace the sketch again haha

This is part of my issue as well. I am trying to loosen up. Didn't realize until this comment that was my problem lol. I have been thinking a lot lately on why my art never ends up quite how I want them to. I think I put too much emphasis on the sketching.
