3 SIMPLE WATERCOLOR TIPS (Beginner Friendly!)

Wow amazing surprise, again. My comment on Patreon was included in the video... You are the best Jess! ✨💕

Loved this video! The painting came out so good! Loved the splashes at the end💚💚💚

I usually use watercolour for painting , and some of these were really helpful! I always had a problem with the pencil smudge and I will surely try your tip....

Jess please make one video on how you sketch humans free hand ✨

When I pass my art class in school I will dedicate it to you.

Thank you, I tried to use gouache for the first time which I assume is similar to watercolor and used some random paper I found at home. I understand that the picture sucks because I have no experience in this medium but I was so frustrated with the paper as well :D it seems I really need a special paper for this :D hopefully it will at least reduce the stress it causes :DDDD

Another fabulous video!

You can also use fiber castle noir 2022 it black pencils and don’t smudge

You are an amazing artist 🎨.
Love you jess

Just like always inspiring and informative..❤… never stop loving 😍

Hello lovely I hope your day is going amazing. Love these watercolor tips! Loved your portrait of the girl with the pink hair, I would have chosen to draw her too. I agree that Paper is key to some great watercolor paintings, how the water and colors flow on different types of paper is important. Stay amazing! Keep Being you🖌🎨😻

😍

Very well done! Paper makes a huge difference! … I love the painting too. I haven’t painted with watercolor since school, but am getting ready to bring it back to my small works. Thanks for all that you share - it’s so inspiring. 😊

This has nothing to do with the video. I’m just praying you came through the hurricane ok.

Great video. Learning watercolor techniques currently.

I think I will also add a 2 H pencil to my watercolor box

Jess have you tried the Papermate colored Clear Point mechanical pencils for sketching before watercolor? They come in a pack of 6 colors and are available at Staples and most larger office supply stores.
They are erasable and the lead and erasers are refillable.

I was wondering if you’ve ever been to art uni and how you started your career. I’ve wanted to become an artist for as far as I can remember but I’ve been discouraged so many times by people that I stopped drawing… but you looking so happy with your decision has encouraged me to pick up drawing and painting again:)

Great tips Jess Karp. Paper is so important for watercolor, isn’t it? Also, I love the look of watercolor over pencil, even allowing the pencil to show through to the final piece. Your art is terrific, and your videos are very well produced. Keep up the good work and happy painting! :)

Amazing video as always dear friend. Good job👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Are you well?

Thank you dear <3

Hi Jess, You have great skill with the details of all of your art work. I love it and I am trying very hard to do better with my drawings. Thank You

You literally taught me to be patient when doing water color😗

Great watercolor tips!

Great 👌 job.

wonderful. Paper is sooo importrant.

I don't understand! I bought a cotton watercolor sketchbook and yet the pages still get all warped????

Hi ! My name is D ! While stronggling with my darkness I find your video ☺️🖍️🖌️🌿🎒 thanks Jess !

Your very talented Jess

thanks for these! <3

Jess ..I notice you didn't tape the paper down. Is that not always necessary? I always seem to rip my painting whilst removing the masking tape. Thank you.

Wow thanks for your tips! Anyway, can u produce videos about art movements?

Thank you !

I like your art style

I am so happy that I found you and your channel.

This is so helpful!!!! Thank you so much

Jess, thanks again for another great video. I am a writer, photographer, and a beginner to painting acrylic abstracts. I didn't go to art school, but I do take painting classes here and there. My greatest fear in art is Drawing and Sketching. In that area, my work is extremely elementary. Zero experience. Do you have any suggestions for this beginner? THANK YOU, JESS.

Hi Jess! I really love your channel, you are an incredible artist! I have the Inktense blocks from derwent and i wonder what's the difference between them, watercolor and gouache. Thanks!

Moore...❤❤❤❤❤❤

Please show us a kit for urban sketchig

Thank you! Please more watercolor instruction...Love it!

Excellent techniques 😊

Oh Jess- I love your chanel!! Learning so so much. Did you create the palette you used in this? If so, is there a particular brand? Those colors in that palette are awesome!

The advice about paper might be the single most significant lesson for beginners! The paper is the support, but also the source of white for the painting, and the paper sizing has a huge influence on the appearance of colors. No other type of paint has such dependence on, and integration with the support. Somewhere, there's an artist watching this video right now whose whole understanding of the medium will take a major leap forward!
