How to justice Technique Fred's. We wet the paper very gently with the brush. I am starting with the upper part off. All my letters are in the clean water. Women with my brush. Be patient and don't rush during this process, Watercolor painting is like a type of meditation. Do you need to take it with so much care and love him and going slowly is the key and if you need, If you see that the paper axe absorbed the water, you just add a little more. But don't overdo it with the water because the paper can get bottling or damage. Just go step by step. Now I will start adding the color pink in all the upper parts off my letters, because again I am a blending the colors, starting from being then going to Jell O, then going to orange and last. I will use the Crimson Lake quarter that I change it that that I use it for their colored shot. It's a lonely gang started. Start to see how the color mix with the water and go Stenson and flowing freely and with rustic and make. Then move wherever you want them. The color to go. You can add a little bit more of water if you need. You can at more cooler like I am doing here right now on the lines, for example, to go to to give to the peace a little bit more structure. It's very fun. Do you just need to enjoy thes process? Because if you're Raj, you will not them. Allow the watercolor to do its magic before adding the second color. I will at first water and then pick up ticker. Here I am isn't the Jell 01 and as you can see, if I am at more clean water, the two colors will just melt together, mix together and regain the ability off the good color to flow That being goes to the general and then they for a new shade off color. Not this that I am doing this all this process in real time. I am not a speeding up like normally we do in inside, around, more intuitive. I am doing this in real time because I want you to see how the process goes, how my creative process goes. And you can see how I come with ideas on the run to fix some problems that appears like my watercolor drives here. And then I add more, a little bit more off water or I pick up more caller to get more structure so you can learn whether color or painting or art is dosed about experimenting. Do you need toe? Do lots and lots and lot off experimenting? Then you will get the hen off it. It's not difficult. It just need toe for you to practice toe, get dft hands on it. So you discovered your own abilities to resolve problems on the way. It is very important that you killing the brush before picking up another quarter. Before do you pick up another color? Please clean your brush. So do you have the right a colder injured brush when they mix the there is no problem, but you needed to have a clean a brush so you get the right shade off the court and you want toe makes to blend with another here and using the orange one. And I mean water on my brush them pick up the colder and so on. As you can see, I am doing the bland ping in all the latest a similar Dinos Lee or at the same time when I am using the same chain off color. But you can do one by one, starting with the L and then do all the blend is on the L In that way the water will Assad . The paper will be always wet. You don't need maybe to add more water like like I am doing now. But if you prefer to do it like me, you will be do need to be conscious and aware that do need more water Every time you change the caller, it would allow you to have more easy and small blends. Now we are adding the last last color off color chart. It is I an Adam water and this colors a little bit more dark. It and the other ones and these give me more structure off the form off the letter and I find it so. I am beautiful that the letters are really popping up with this color. And that is so nice. I love how these four color looks together. - Okay , we have finished blending all the four colors and now, while it is drying, we're going to at some little hurts with the same chase. And I will add a another shade. This is turquoise. The 1st 1 I wanted to use. If you remember after the beginning, off the off this video, I will do the same. Just at the water to the paper in help shape. And then at the cooler I want to blend. This is this is really fun. And you can do as many as you want or another tape that you like. I am doing hurts because I love her shaped and but you can do stars or something else that is appealing to you. I will just add water and and then different colors. So they blend together.
