I'm pretty excited about today because I'm going to show you a little tip
that's going to improve your watercolors no end let's get into the video I'm so
glad you're back welcome back to Sluga channel I hope
you've had a fantastic week it's cold here in Australia it's winter I know our
winters are nothing compared to my friends over there in Canada or America
or Europe it's cold for us in fact before I get into it I might have to
change my coat I'm Charles if you haven't been here before check it out
consider subscribing hit that little Bell so don't miss that on any videos
but what's this channel about it's all about watercolor watercolor related
stuff I actually want to help you and your friends and your family the world Live, Love, Do watercolor
why because it's fantastic to do Because it's so cold I thought I'd use something cold like a fridge my
fridge door we're going to do a little painting of that here's one that I did
earlier and what we're going to do is we're just going to take a little snippet of
that just to show you what I'm trying to get across today now what I'm trying to
get across is, probably best if I just show you that goes for about 40 seconds
this is how not to do the painting but I want you to see it so you can compare to
how to do the painting let me just get my water container
and let's get into the painting
I tried to paint it like a beginner might paint it basically coloring in and watercolor
is not about coloring it it's about getting that painterly feel
letting the water do its job getting that beautiful connection and flow
there's the key word connection in that painting that I just did in that little
demo that I just did you saw that each thing was painted individually I treated
each bottle each jar as a separate object and what it does I mean it it's
okay but what it does is it it doesn't unify it's not working as a team we want
your painting your objects to work as a team working as a team what do I think
of I think of the Avengers
now there's a team so your bottles your jars they're the Avengers The Incredible
Hulk Captain America Iron Man etc etc they've got to work together to give you
an overall result they don't work together no result Charles you're
saying connect things in your picture but what do you actually mean how do you
actually do that I hear you say well I hear you say you've physically connect
the things check out this little demo again this time I'm concentrating on
connecting the shapes have a look one minute
so don't paint one bottle and then a jar you paint one bottle and paint the
jar so the bottle and the jar touch and they bleed into each other and voila
they are connected
we connect physically bottles and jars we let them run into each other
in fact if they don't connect encourage it you encourage it
you drag your brush
and what that does is it creates this unity you can see it in the painting
well that's it for another video I hope you found it useful as always I hope you
actually put into practice don't have to go and do this big painting just
practice remember this applies to any objects any painting really doesn't
matter what you are painting connect connect connect which unifies it's
teamwork if you can't remember that remember just think of the Avengers I
hope you have another fantastic week I intend to
