PROPER ART MATERIALSHaving the right tools in your toolkit makes a world of difference. Using quality materials is essential to give you results you'll be happy with. Poor quality materials often just plain don't work and cause frustration, wasted time, and wasted money. It may also deter you from wanting to continue painting as the results just won't be the same as if you use quality materials. Lets break it down by paper, paints, and brushes:Paper:Not all paper is created equally! If you're going to watercolor, it is essential that you use actual watercolor paper. There are 3 main types of watercolor papers they are - coldpress ,hot press and rough texturePaint:Watercolor paint comes in both tubes and pans. Either works depending on your preferences, but making sure to use quality brands makes a difference. Low quality paint can become crackly and chalky versus having smooth, even color.Brushes: You don't need to start with a huge assortment of brushes, but a few key types will help as you try to achieve different results. A small, medium and large round brush, a flat brush, and a mop brush is a great way to start. Each brush is created for an intended purpose WORK FROM LIGHT TO DARKWith watercolor it's important to lay down your light colors first and work towards the darker colors. Have patience - there's no rush. We start with the light colors first because once you lay down the dark colors, it's hard to undo. Due to the transparency of watercolor, your light colors won't show if they're covered up by dark colors. WATER TO PAINT RATIOThe water to paint ratio will change depending on what you're trying to achieve.Too much water can result in colors that are too light. It can also make paint spread more than you'd like and cause colors to mix and become muddy.5. DRY-TIMEDry-time varies depending on what you're trying to achieve in your painting. If you want colors to blend and bleed into each other, you can apply layers on top of wet paint. Be careful not to over-layer with wet paints because the colors could easily become muddy.Too little water can result in thick colors that don't flow or lay down properly, or cause visibly streaky brush strokes. MIXING PAINTSThere is a lot of planning and preparing in watercolor painting. A good rule of thumb is to always mix more paint than you think you'll need on your palette. If you run out of a color, it can be really difficult to mix the exact same shade again, so you want to be prepared. #christmasdrawingideas #christmascarddrawingeasy #holidaycard #christmasart #christmas #art #christmasdecor #christmasartwork #illustration #merrychristmas #santaclaus #christmastree #digitalart #artist #santa #drawing #christmaspainting #artistsoninstagram #christmasillustration #artwork #christmastime #christmasdecorations #xmas #winter #christmasgifts #christmascards #holidayart #christmasartist #painting #xmasart #procreate #sketch #illustrator #christmastree #christmasdrawing #watercolor #christmascard #christmasiscoming #winterart #illustrationartists #fanart #instaart #christmasseason #tistheseason #december #snow #ilovechristmas #christmasornaments #reindeer #handmade #draw #christmaslove #snowman #christmaslover #santalover #christmasgift #christmascountdown #christmaslights #christmasspirit
