Another take on a rose (real time vid), now using a dagger brush. Sometimes it is easier to use this kind of brush because it's giving the shapes that a rose has. If you are having a hard time with round brushes try to use a different kind & see if it's easier for you. #dreweuropeo #calligrafikas #grafikas #artist #watercolorartist #watercolor #watercolorpainting #waterblog #expressivepainting #loosepainting #grafikaflora #calligrafikaswatercolors #realtimevid #processvideo #calligrafikastips Paper: Cheap Sketchbook Brush: Rosemary & Co.

One of the dreaded mistakes of newbies is loosing the white space in roses. I guess often times when you are painting and getting into the zone, you just want to make brushstrokes without minding your tonal values. You started out right then loosing yourself too much, later on to realize that you created a huge blob instead of a rose. I suggest that whenever you try to paint a rose have a real photo reference with you so that you can check the curves, the shadows, the highlights & the midtones if all are present. It will take some time for others to figure this out but it's not so difficult to achieve it. If you practice this everyday, you will have the habit of checking your shapes & your tonal value. Here's a simple real time video on how I do my roses in using just brushstrokes. #dreweuropeo #calligrafikas #grafikas #artist #watercolorartist #watercolor #watercolorpainting #waterblog #expressivepainting #loosepainting #grafikaflora #calligrafikaswatercolors #calligrafikastips #realtimevid #processvid Paper: Cheap Sketchbook Brush: Tokyo Finds Zen brush round no 11 Paint: Shin Han

🔶️Calligrafikas Tips🔶️ When painting wet on wet it is very important to choose your paper wisely, if you feel that you paint with a lot of moisture definitely choose a sturdy paper like 100% cotton on 300gsm-above. You can still use a student grade paper of 200gsm but you will need to adjust the amount of moisture you put on your paper. A lot of times I started with water wash, put a light pigment on then with almost a dry mixture meaning not too many water in your brush you put that as a second layer more on defining the shapes. In using an angular brush, definitely a lot will find it hard to use, but the trick is to change the angle often. It would help if you familiarize with how the angle of the brush mark strokes differently. #dreweuropeo #calligrafikas #grafikas #artist #watercolorartist #watercolor #watercolorpainting #waterblog #expressivepainting #loosepainting #grafikaflora #calligrafikaswatercolors #calligrafikastips #realtime #realtimevid #processvid Paper: Arches 300gsm Brush: Princeton Elite angular brush 1/2 Paint: Mijello Mission Gold

By making marks with a light wash of paint then dropping in some pigmented colors without blending or touching again what you marked, just allowing the pigment to bleed into your light wash, it can create interesting tonal value in your painting. Immediately you will have the lightest light (the light wash markings I did first), darkest dark (the secondary markings I did in full pigment) & midtones (the pigment mixture on paper or the natural bleeding of pigments) which creates high contrast in your painting. #dreweuropeo #calligrafikas #grafikas #artist #watercolorartist #watercolor #watercolorpainting #waterblog #expressivepainting #loosepainting #grafikaflora #calligrafikaswatercolors #calligrafikastips #realtime #realtimevid #processvid Paper: Cheap Sketchbook Brush: Rosemary & Co.
