PROCESS VIDEO // forest in watercolor
🕑 Added 2020-10-21 09:50:14 +0000 UTCThe second process video in watercolor! Again, had to edit out some parts because my head dipped in, but for the most part the full process is on there. I sped it up 2x, and you can adjust the speed to be faster or slower with the gear button.
This one was more painterly than the mushrooms and a bit harder to do, but I really enjoyed gradually layering on the shadows. From this process I learned that the key to painting in watercolor is to know which areas need to stay light, and focus on shadows / details later in the process. This gives so much luminosity in the end because the lightness of the paper is so much brighter than any paint! I used masking fluid for the tree trunks, and used a mix of daniel smith and winsor & newton watercolors.
If you have questions, drop 'em below and I will answer them!

thanks so much chloe! I use my iphone 11 pro, with one of those flexible clamps to hold it in place. It's the one with max storage and I just hook it up to the charger if the battery is low. so far it's worked quite well to make process vids!

Sorry if you've answered this elsewhere, but what set up do you use to film? Is there a way to film for hours without using loads of storage space/battery power? Ps loving these traditional media explorations!
