**VIDEO** No Outline Watercoloring w/ Peerless Watercolor

February 16, 2016

NYP_0336

Hello there! I don’t know about you, but I am oh-so-ready for spring. The weather over here in California is getting warm already and we are seeing flowers blooming too! So I thought I would take some supplies out and practice watercoloring.

Watercoloring is one of my favorite art techniques to play with, but I always struggled with no-outline watercoloring. The amount of water and colors to use, when to use them and how to lay them on a paper are so tricky to me. So I decided that I would practice more this month with it.

I am sharing the process with you and hope you find it helpful, if you ever wanted to give it a try. Hope you enjoy the video tutorial!

Leaving the image to dray naturally seems to work better for me when I work on watercolor pieces. But if you are short on time, you can definitely use a heat tool.

I also like to practice on my Visual Journal Watercolor book. This way I do not have to always worry about making a card, just practice and enjoy coloring. It is a good quality too!

What is your favorite watercolor technique? I think with enough practice, I will really enjoy this no-outline watercolor technique soon.

    31/60 Today’s Color - Cobalt Teal Blue

We are now giving into the world of greens! Starting with this lovely emerald color with lots of granulation - I know granulation in watercolor is a turn off for some but I am fascinated by it. I think its lovely to see these gritty textures 💕

    30/60 Today’s Color - Manganese Blue Hue

This textury, lovely color is the last blue pigment I selected for the custom palette. You can see there are lots of granulation going on and how clean the lifting is. Lots to love about in this color 💕

    28/60 Today’s Color - Phtalo Blue

Here is a beautiful blue shade to get rid of anyone’s Monday blues! 😂 I definitely needed a quick eye break to see this lovely color from today’s craziness. Hope your week is off to a wonderful start! 💙

    27/60 Today’s Color - Verditer Blue

Last color of February (can you believe its March already? 😱) Ending the month with another blue color from my custom palette - and I have a couple more blues to share before heading to the next color family 😉 This one was little tricky to move around with its granulating property,  i had to layer quite a bit to get the intense look. But the lifting was oh so easy with this color! Hardly any staining.

    26/60 Today’s Color - Cobalt Blue

This has to be one my all time fav from the Daniel Smith collection. Look at the rich, bold color with wonderful granulation. Can’t get enough of this! 😍

    25/60 Today’s Color - Ultramarine Blue

Look at this bright/bold blue hue 😍 I am so in love with this shade and the granulation it has. While staining is very minimal, you’ll be able to get a rough feel texture with this and take advantage of the granulation effect!

    23/60 Today’s Color - Indanthrone Blue

This lovely dark, cool blue reminds me of a deeper layer of ocean. A bit of navy blue and a hit of royal blue well mixed. It is super easy to create transparent layer with this color, and the staining is very minimal 💙

    23/60 Today’s Color - Mayan Dark Blue

This color totally reminds me of whales! 🐳 🐋 (thus it fitting perfectly to my brush holder prop!) This deep, rich, intense dark blue would be wonderful for expressing depths and shades 😍
