watercolor tips and tricks

some tips and tricks that have seriously helped me in excelling at watercolour

1. PAPER WEIGHT. for the love of god do not use any paper under 110-120 lbs to paint with watercolour, a very VERY wet medium that will soak clean through the paper if it’s not thick enough (most paper pads sold at craft stores have the weight listed on them. printer paper is around 20 lbs, sketch pads will be about 60 lbs, IDEAL watercolour paper 140 lbs+). i use only 140 lb paper for my serious watercolour works. canson and strathmore are my favourite brands

2. there’s no need to have very expensive watercolour paints, but it is important to use something better than crayola. my dad gave me a 24-pan windsor&newton watercolour set when i was 8 and these are still the paints i use today (i was a very careful child, but i never even had to replace my paint pans after almost 10 years either, so this brand, while super expensive, lasts and earns my gold star.) some other cheaper options are: x and x

3. if you’re going to be using watercolours, prepare to use WATER. so many people forget this, but it’s so important to realise this media is meant to look translucent, so you should see the paper through the paint. if you can’t see it, then you’re using the paints as if they’re gouache or acrylics, so try using more water and work with lighter colours.

OKAY NOW FOR THE ACTUAL TRICKS

4. SALT

quite overused in watercolour but it’s so freaking cool it can be pardoned. *remember for all of these effects, you have to use lots of water with the paint for it to work!

5. ALCOHOL/VODKA/HAND SANITIZER IF YOU’RE LAZY LIKE ME

you have to be very careful here because the second image can turn into the first if you use too much alcohol and it soaks through the water and paint gets in the spot, so be sure to experiment plenty before using this!!

but yeah you can use whatever clear alcohol you can find and it does p much the same thing

6. LIGHT SKIN TONES

okay while the darker skin tones are more easily achievable with browns and additional yellows/blues/reds to bring out the undertone, light skintones are hard as hell to make with watercolour because it’s hard to even think of what to mix. think no more!

YELLOW OCHRE + ANY PURPLE = perfect skintone you can play around with. adding more of yellow or purple will give you either cool or warm skin tones you can build up on and layer until they’re the proper value. remember to use purple/cool shadows with skin in compositions with normal lighting!

7. PAYNE’S GREY

and finally to repeat my previous post, use PAYNE’S GREY instead of black for a richer, darker colour in your painting. don’t use black unless your entire composition has warm colours, but even then, try to use a very dark brown instead of black.

8. WHITE

finally, it’s very important to mention this: never use the white watercolour they sometimes give you. EVER. EVER. dilute your paint with water instead to get a lighter value, or else you’re not using watercolour to its full extent (which is something you might struggle with if you’re used to using acrylics or oil)

that’s all i can think of at the top of my head, but if you have any questions or need further brand recommendations etc, feel free to message me!

*The screencaps are out of order. I just wanted to compare the boys’ grown up and high school selves. Ishigami and Goto look exactly the same…*

Anyway, here’s the summary of the high school event story which got quite long again…

At the start of the story, you were out late the night before with friends, so you’re quite tired. Now you’re out shopping but you keep running into Noir members, namely Ryoichi, Ishigami, Goto and Ren. Shields and Noir are now on friendly terms but you’re still uncomfortable with dealing with them on your own, so you avoid them before they notice you.

You get home and find a letter inviting you to your high school reunion. Then you realize that you’re late, so you stuff the letter in your bag and hurry off to Shields headquarters.

Later, you’re in the canteen at Shields, feeling extremely tired and you can’t stop yawning. You take out the letter for another look. Yamato comes over, concerned by how tired you look. You explain why and also tell him about your upcoming high school reunion. He leaves after a while. You wonder what the Shields and Noir members were like in high school and you fall asleep with that thought…

You wake up and you’re back in senior high! It’s the first day of school and Yamato is your new classmate. He’s also really popular with both the guys and girls in your class. Anyway, you have to stay after school one day to fill in the class diary. Yamato finds you sitting alone in the classroom and comes to see what you’re doing. He remarks that you have beautiful handwriting and he stays back with you to help you complete the diary. Then he leaves saying he’ll see you tomorrow. Your heart goes doki doki~♡

Now you’re on the train on your way home. The train suddenly stops and you lose your balance, luckily someone catches you. You soon find yourself face-to-face with a beautiful prince-like boy, Ren~♡ You are struck by his beauty and can’t help staring at him. He asks what’s wrong. You say he has beautiful eyes, so he steps closer for you to have a better look at his eyes!! So here you are completely entranced by his lovely ‘gleaming, jewel-like’ green eyes~ Then he steps back, blushing, because you’ve been staring into his eyes for too long~ :3c Then it’s time for him to get off. You ask for his name. He tells you and you find out he’s still in junior high. He calls you ‘senpai’ and says he’ll see you tomorrow. You really hope you’ll get to see him on the train again~

Several months pass, you are a member of the student council. Ishigami is the student council president. You want to speak to him after school but before you can, he’s been called away by a teacher. You look out the window and see your classmate, Goto. You’re rather scared of him as he has a reputation for being a delinquent, but you’re curious as to what he’s doing so you go outside for a look. You find him smiling and playing with a kitten! You decide there and then that anyone who likes small animals can’t be a bad person. You call him. He is very surprised to see you. You notice that his hand is injured and insist on taking him to the sick room. He lets you. Goto explains that he got hurt protecting the kitten from a group of older boys who were bullying it. You tell Goto that you think he’s a very gentle person. He is once again surprised. He soon leaves after his injuries are dealt with. You kind of find yourself attracted to Goto…

More time passes, it’s graduation time. Ishigami is graduating and everyone is sad as he was the perfect student council president. You want to go over to speak to him but you trip in typical otome heroine fashion… Ishigami helps you up with cherry blossom petals blowing all around him! XD;; He then says something like how he hopes you’ll take good care of the student council after he leaves.

It’s a new school year and now it’s time for the annual culture festival. This year it’s a joint festival with another school. You meet the charismatic president of the other school, Ryoichi. All the girls in your school are swept off their feet by him! XD

(Edit: Forgot this part!) That Sunday, you’re doing your homework at the library when Ryoichi suddenly comes over to sit opposite you. You feel rather nervous about being so close to him. He then remarks that your homework answer is wrong. After that, he helps you with your homework. When he leaves with a casual ‘see you’, you can’t help but begin to feel quite attracted to him.

The festival is a success. Ryoichi asks you to meet him on the school roof, then suddenly it’s love confession time! He takes your hand and comes closer and closer…

…you hear a voice calling you! You wake up and find yourself back in the canteen at Shields headquarters. Yamato is calling you. You kind of accidentally call him ‘Kougami-kun’ instead of ‘Yamato-san’ which confuses him. You find out that you’re still clutching the high school reunion invitation and wonder if that’s why you had that dream. You also wonder if it’s been influenced by all the shoujo manga you’ve read. Anyway, you think it was a very wonderful dream~♡ End.

I’ve been playing too much Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice lately and I just had to draw this crossover~ I WANT THIS TO HAPPEN. PLEASE. NINTENDO. MAKE IT COME TRUE. TT//w//TT
