In this how to use Watercolor tutorial we’ll cover how to create the foundation or underpainting of your Watercolor art.

Welcome to WATERCOLOR by Scarlett Damen your private online watercolour Art School for everyone from beginners to advanced watercolorists.

Here you’ll find lots of watercolor painting tutorials for beginners and new artists with simple step by step classes covering how to use watercolour and basics and beginner watercolor techniques. (everything from how to paint a graduated and veragrated wash, chasing the right watercolour paper, to using salt, plastic wrap, soap and alcohol in your paintings as lets not forget watercolour texture medium and of course everything you ever wanted to know about watercolour masking fluid… to name a few.)

I’ve also created many full length watercolour lessons for intermediate and advanced watercolorists wanting to learn how to paint botanical art in watercolour. These classes include both speed paintings with commentary and full watercolor painting step by step demonstrations to help you learn to master watercolour techniques as well as a lots of art tips, watercolour facts and fun painting tricks to help you along your art journey.

My Watercolour Materials:

My watercolor supplie include: Winsor and Newton professional Watercolor paints and Winsor & Newton Cotman paint as well as Schminke watercolours. I also love to make my own paint using Sennelier Watercolours pigments and some times include some Liquid Watercolors as well. In my humble opinion these are the best watercolor paints ever!

Here are a few link to paint kits I use and recommend:
-Winsor & Newton 5ml 24 color set: http://amzn.to/2AgSbhf
-Winsor & Newton Cotman Studio Set :http://amzn.to/2hW8hEq

Brushes:
I mostly use DaVinci professional watercolour sable brushes from davinci’s maestro series #35. However I also love to use sable watercolour paint brushes from Rosemary and Co.

Here are a few links to brushes I love and recommend:
-DaVinci #4 Watercolour Mop http://amzn.to/2Bs1St9
-Da Vinci 5240 Watercolor Deluxe Wood Box 5 Brush Set: http://amzn.to/2ztPQOO
-Da Vinci Maestro Paint Brush with Gift Box, Size 8: http://amzn.to/2AfFXW4

Paper:
I love to work with 300gsm hot pressed watercolour paper from Strathmore or Arches or Canson (but I occasionally use 300gsm cold pressed watercolor paper too) For plain-air painting I use a hard bound watercolour sketchbook and for sketching and crafting new painting ideas I use 90gsm sketching paper from strathmore artists paper.

Here are a few links to Paper I use and recommend:
-Arches Watercolor Paper Block 18 x 26: http://amzn.to/2Afsgq4
-Arches Cold Press Watercolor Pad, 12 Sheets, 9 by 12-Inch: http://amzn.to/2AazRIP

And let's not forget my favourite masking fluid:
-Winsor and Newton Watercolor Art Masking Fluid, 75ml: http://amzn.to/2zt3FwP

Extras:
I some times use watercolor pencils, watercolour sticks and watercolour markers from wander and newton but watercolour tube paint are my favourite. Love to use dip pens instead of plastic pens and markers as I feel they are both more environmentally friendly and timeless.
