Hi Anthony, thanks for this tutorial.
My biggest problem is making pink…especially light pink with a thicker consistency…
Any ideas?
Best wishes
Caroline
Hi Caroline
By definition, light pink in watercolor needs a lot of water (it’s essentially a diluted cool red).
So a “thick” light pink is a bit of a contradiction. In watercolor, that thicker feel doesn’t come from adding more pigment—it comes from using less water in your brush.
Try this: mix your light pink as usual, then blot your brush slightly before applying it. With a drier brush, the paint won’t flow as much and will feel more controlled—almost like a thicker consistency.
Hope that helps 🙂
I absolutely love your tutorials. The way you teach using step-by-step processes works well for me. Thank you for sharing your talenta in both skill and teaching.
You’re welcome Julie!
Beautiful! I love that you break it down for us. (then it seems so obvious lol). I’m going to try this. Do you have a reference photo? I only see images of your painting, which is fabulous, but I’d like to try it from a photo
