so what this is - I was on Etsy and they were having a Black Friday sale and I saw this
well basically it was a coloring book and it was like $60 and it looked really
really interesting so I want to show you and hopefully it's as cool as it looked
and we'll find out what makes it special I bought it from someone in Ukraine so
it took a month and a half to get here - oh! -the anticipation
Oh its in a Cute box! well presented look at that! - ew that's bothering me - ever
notice when you get something on Etsy it's just so much better than when you
get it from Amazon - I don't know where to put this box...
watercolour trip inside? are we going on an adventure?
ah nuts... I ripped it - so this is the
Insparea (inspiration area) watercolor kit oh it's a kit? well that explains
the price doesn't it? - *opens box* I'm missing one!!
I was about to say "Oh cute" but I
realized: - oh...oh...that wasn't dramatic
boom!
I'm missing the RU raw umber
oh there it is I found him, here we go all's well! call off the search! - so here
is the little palette as you can see it's got little drops of watercolor up
on the top of a very thick piece of card stock I think that's the word so the
colors that came with the set is violet, lemon yellow, raw umber, burnt umber, olive
green, Viridian, yellow ochre, cadmium yellow, cadmium red, madder lake deep
ultramarine, and indigo - and the cool thing is *zooms out* bloop! - these were all put
together to be used specifically with this coloring book or as they call it
a painting book -
OH! PURPLE!?!
ahhhh! merry Christmas to me, okay! oh there's little blending
cards I believe - what there's more? I didn't read the description very well
did I? - making me look bad *hehe -OKay, these others extra palate in here if
you've run out of that one obviously - cute! it's the same colors very cool and
I believe this is kind of like a paint by number thing but it also allows you
to experiment but I haven't looked at the coloring book yet this is the
coloring book we're gonna look at that in a minute let's see what else is in
here okay so I see a paint brush this is a DaVinci I believe a squirrel imitation
so no 'squirrel-lies' were harmed in the making of this paint brush, it's a number
six round and then there's also there's way more in here than I expected a
number two round which I believe is also the exact same brush, look at that
fancy I love round brushes they're my favorite - alright and then it has some
swatch cards, watercolor paper, alright and lastly, that's kind of funny - this is some
masking fluid - cool and then what's this? is this wax?
I believe this is wax so it's like a giant big chubby clear crayon so if you draw
with that the watercolor won't stick I think, oh this is the most dainty maggots I've
ever seen in my life - this is so cute okay now the coloring book, the coloring book! all
right so this is the main attraction we have the painting book as they call it I
got the one in English, obviously - there was options, and it's made out of watercolor
paper and the cool thing is - oh! here's the author's - the cool thing is it actually
kind of teaches you how to use watercolors so there's some techniques
I'll have to read those and then there's like an area to test it out and practice
so it's like having a little teacher again it shows you a technique and it
gives you space to try it and then here's what I wanted to show you this
is what I'm so excited about so on the left side of the spread we have
instructions as well as the original reference photo of like this window then
they give you a step-by-step instructions on how to do it yourself
and then give you two sketches to fill in and practice your technique so you
get two shots at it, isn't that really really cool? and all these photos are
from Italy this is a photo actually from 2016
that's not that old - but they give you one test try and then like your final
try that you can't cut out and you know hang on your
refrigerator - so you can paint this window of the Riva del garda in three
steps step 1 step 2 step 3 but each step has about four steps so that's interesting
maybe I have just been over complicating things...? - and in the tutorial it actually
tells you the exact colors to use and different little tips and tricks so I'm
very excited to try this out and to support a small business and artist so
this is really really cool and I hope you're getting a kick out of this as much as I have
I'm so excited to try this look at all these they aren't people which I would
usually draw but I thought this would be so cool to like teach me how to
watercolor - oooh, the texture is so cool and the cover page is really thick and each of
the papers is really really thick - can you hear the thickness?
* flips through thick pages*
I'm impressed
I'll have to try this out anyway I couldn't wait to open this and share it
with you next I'm going to use it but I literally just woke up and I haven't had
breakfast yet and my tummy is a 'gurglin' I'll be back
when I have time for this which hopefully be later today maybe we can do
like a cool transition - ready?! *deep breath*
Hey and we're back let's finally use this thing though
right oh and something I forgot to mention is this coloring book was about $60
after the Black Friday sale - all right let's put our palette over here
somewhere- here we go "advices from the masters" I don't know if we will need these, or these - let's paint Italy shall we
I'm gonna single-handedly paint all of Italy
I didn't know notice at the bottom here
Andrej is ranked among the top 20 watercolor artists in the world
way to go, buddy! nice!
what is that? this guy right here
nice
alright so we should probably go through all the practices alright the first lesson is a
flat wash
*whisper* probably need some water don't ?I
alright next it says "into wet" 'a went into wet wash painting on a wet surface for
colors to blend easier' okay so what you do is you get your clean your paint
brush then you take a wet paint brush and then
you grab your color and you just 'bloop'
so the term 'lift' means to lift your
painting by removing paint from a surface with a dry brush to correct
mistakes - we're gonna do a flat wash (look I'm learning these terms) well
there goes well that's kind of cool I didn't know you had to use a dry brush
for that but I can see it making more mistakes than the ones it's fixing
♪ Swatch and practice montage! ♪
I'll need three of these
♪
do something like dis?
♪ art-ing intently
oohhh! look at that! It's magic!
♪ crayons +watercolor = omg ♪
♪
♪
cool I've used masking fluid before but it was like a lot harder to get off this
leg just rubbed right off I like it all right so we finished a little study that
they provided so the point of that is to kind of understand what they're gonna
tell you to do in like the tutorial section and for most of them I think I
got it - 'blur' I didn't really I'm not sure entirely sure I did that right but I
assume it just means to blur whatever its gonna tell you to blur so I think
I'll get it when it's in like the context of a tutorial uh I wasn't very
good at lifting and then 'partly' I didn't really understand but I think that's
gonna mean that when it tells you to color in like a certain shape it's gonna
say colored in just 'partly' which it'll have a picture to go with that and I
think it's gonna make sense
hoping
let's move on to the next page
let me get this to stay open - and now we can work on this window finally so we can always look
back at the reference photo but let's follow the first step - let's learn to
watercolor shall we? - alright so step one is add a wash of yellow ochre to the wall
I can do this all right now we add a flat wash - whew! that is a gorgeous color
need to come right up to the edge - now what I think we're trying to do is get an even
color so you'll see there it's lighter in there it's darker so I'm gonna try a
little harder to get the same color so you can't let it dry while there's still
a lot of paint thing you gotta smudge it around is what I'm learning here because
once it dries it's a little harder to mix it together you see when I put it
down it's darker and bolder and then you got like smudge it around and get an
even coat that's the best I could do on a first attempt - it's definitely patchy but
I'm going to assume that the more you do that the better that's gonna look and I
also notice that they put a much lighter wash that I did so we're probably gonna
have to take advantage of this little second attempt anyway next is add a wash
to the window frame which we're going to mix: crimson red and the burnt umber so
we're gonna color in this inside section with them that oh I think I got the
right color here not too dark next it wants me to add the flower pot
leaves which we're going to mix 'olive green'' with the 'burnt umber' again and
then mix those together let's try it out just add some like speckles it's
definitely not the same color I use the right green? "olive green" there's looks much
darker --- alright now next up is to wait for this all to dry alright now that
that's dry, moving on to step two which is add a wash to the windows of the
colors YG and YO but I don't see a YG, I see YO... we'll come back to that
one but it says with a lot of water we're gonna wash the stone frame using
RU - which is raw umber and it says a lot of water so I
guess I'll put that on this pallet hmm okay it says with three water droplets
color in the stone frame,
Tada! I think that was my best so far that's a little dark
in this corner, pull that out - nice I think that's my most even washed too! nice! okay next
step flowerpot using CR and VB which is crimson red and the burnt umber again
add the wash stains on the wall using burnt umber and with raw umber - this one, I'm
gonna mix those together alright then we're gonna add the Shh-textures - Oh with
a lot of water so let's add some more water to that and then add in these
puppies some over here I'm also trying to look at this reference and see if I
see why they're picking up certain places but for this they're just
adding texture to the the background which isn't in the reference photo so this is
just for creative purposes I guess and since I painted in the background so
darkly it you know it's kind of hard to even see them and then it says "add
stains on the stone frame using raw umber and burnt umber"... do this?
that doesn't look like the same color at all? - alright I need to go back to do the
windows which it said to mix YG and YO - yeah if you look at the palette it
says you're going to use YG plus YO, we have a YO which is the yellow
ochre we don't have a YG we have this one that has a lowercase G it shows an
uppercase Y and a lowercase G what if it means indigo? I'm gonna have to just go
with indigo and hope for the best, but it says mix indigo hopefully with yellow ochre
lets see what that looks like - I guess it's pretty close
still not the same color that they have on theirs let's add more water for that
see if we can get a lighter color
it's gonna add a little more indigo on top
like-a-so - the next thing it wants us to do is add a wash of shadows from the flower
and the stone frame - yellow ochre and raw umber it doesn't say how much of each to
mix but does show add a decent amount of water so yes we're gonna add a decent
amount of water that's a nice shadow color isn't it? *hehe*
shadow, underneath here - all right
and then the shadows on the frame are using burnt umber and violet- we are
shading here whooaaa that is a pretty color of course it is, it's got purple in it
just add some crazy texture like it shows in theirs so it looks like they
used maybe this color I've messed up the next step was to shade up here which was
teased a different color and that was ultramarine and yellow ochre - my bad - so
gonna have to wait on that to dry and then we can do that part but the next
step is add a core shadow on the flowerpot - I see yellow ochre is very
popular in this drawing and then we're adding a shadow do this flower pot so
now we can add shadows to the window and for this we're going to use indigo and
Viridian yeah I think I was right I think it was a typo and it was indigo that
we were supposed to use
look that went pretty well it looks good I also shade the leaves with indigo and
olive green - mix that with indigo
we can add some shadows
to this -
not sure if that's right that looks a little weird
I think this shadow here oh that's where this goes Oh I was wrong
my bad obviously our light sources over there
casting quite a bit of shadow
that looks way better now doesn't it? that
made a definite improvement and this looks really good on the monitor because
he's teeny-tiny, up close it looks a little you know 'blobby' but I'm actually
really happy with it I think it turned out really cool I'm just gonna go and
add anything I feel like it needs yeah just because you know I do like that
painterly effect that it has we're still waiting on --- oh we have to color
the flowers we have to wait for that to dry and then we can color the flowers, I
definitely am learning like how to make shadow stay in the color scheme this is
really really cool aside from like the typos which i think are probably coming
from translation errors maybe I don't know well give them a little bit benefit
of the doubt but this did cost pretty penny
so I mean even though it costs a lot it's not perfect - I noticed almost everything
was mixed with yellow ochre I assume that's how you kind of stay in the color
scheme which is nifty, I'm learning something - another thing I'm noticing in the
reference photo here they used a much more texture paper than what I'm using
so that's not like showing through or they drew that way smaller that could also
be yeah well look here you can actually ask the artists for advice online I
didn't even see that "send them an email or go to their website and ask
for advice" *hehe I should be like "okay hey what did I do
wrong?" I think I know what I did wrong I put too much paint in the background so
it's much more saturated and vibrant than what they did and I think that
would have made a significant difference because the contrast would be a lot
better so knowing that I kind of want to
*whistles *
try it again
♪ Watercolor sounds
♪Aggressive swatching
♪ making mistakes
♪ getting messy
♪ just overall drawing stuff ♪
♪
yeah I love that!
that's so cool so there we have it there's my two attempts - we should
probably take a look at the original reference photo, step by step
instructions, their final, and then my two finals - which one do you like better I
definitely made mistakes in both of them because I am a beginner - I'm such a noob
I think when I followed the instructions more closely or at least tried to I kind
of liked this one better except for I like the lighter wash on
the background with this one I think I did a much better job there's not those
tons of streaks like there is in this one I think in each of them I did
something better than the other so I guess I gotta keep practicing
I definitely look better teeny tiny and not up close there's certain areas the
picture that has better contrast and this one and there's certain areas of
this picture that has better contrast
wow this is really really fun and
there's still - look at them all! - there's still a bunch more in here that aren't just a
window *haha* I think my favorite part about this coloring book is that it tells you
what colors to mix together to get the certain colors there were some areas
where they didn't really look the same so I don't know if I mixed wrong
variations but I wish they had given a little bit more instructions as how much
of each color to mix but right now it just tells you what colors to mix and
you kind of have to just wing it and try to get the right color
but I found that really really helpful because what I do like about these
pictures is they both have something that my drawings don't usually have
which is they have a very cohesive color scheme and they look good you know
together even though they're using blues and reds
they don't look super saturated and crazy like they're well blended and I'm
learning a lot mixing these colors by following these instructions on how to
do that which is priceless to me and I really like that they can give you this
little tiny palette it's extra water colors if you run out of these to give
you these too um thingies which I assume you use and
other tutorials yeah looks like it the paper is alright like you see it it's
not like perfect paper it's definitely buckling underneath all
of the water that I'm using but it's good enough to like practice the
techniques I wonder if this palette washes off and so you can reuse it
because I filled the whole thing with just this window
*intense scrubbing*
sweet!
I think this would be a really cool present to someone who's just getting into
watercolor - what would be really cool is if they made one of these for like
portraiture I would be all over that
ohh!
but it's surprising how fun it is to just
paint in an Italian window though like look at that ah! so this kit isn't
perfect but I really really enjoyed it and I'm definitely going to use the rest
of it get my money's worth let me know if you'd like me to film
some more of these and see if I can improve as I go through the book it
could be a fun way to track my progress if you're interested
I'll have a link in
the description to Insparea's Etsy page if you want to check out what else they
have on their store - anyway, I hope you enjoyed comeing along with me to Italy
where we painted a window oh!
thank you guys for watching I'll see you guys all
next week and I hope you have a ♪ delicious evening full of waffles! ♪
BYE! ♪
so cute
