Thank you for posting this video! You rarely find someone to do a tutorial like this, explaining every step I mean. Rarely do they ever do it in real time it is always in a sped up version. You explained every step basicaly, ad i think every person that watched this is most likely going to watch another of your videos. When I saw just one of your instructional videos, I was hooked. You spoke clearly and explained what you were doing and how you were doing it. The first video I saw was dinosaurs.

Finally! I guess my problems with water colors is that I never seem to know when to paint different layer colors. Thanks for the great tips!

You are welcome antoniodjalanis! The next video Mont Marte Joe is making is a basic watercolour material and techniques lesson, so keep an eye out.

May I know the different between water colour, poster colour, and Acrylic colour?

[MontMarteArt]

Hello heyammos,

The difference is in the type of binder. All paint emulsions contain a pigment (colour) suspended in a liquid or binder. Acrylic binder is a synthetic resin which cannot be reactivated once dry. Watercolour's binder is a Gum-Arabic solution which can re activate after being dried. The Poster paints are bound with a glue size and are created for children and for non permanent projects, with an affordability in mind.

@sparkaflame010 and I got all the way here! ^.^ Thanks again :)

Mont Marte Joe - I was rubbing pastels on the other side of the tracing paper and tracing the lines, but the pastels left a rough, messy image. I'll try your method, retracing the lines with the 6B pencil on the other side. Thanks!

Thank you for information.

Hi doforanimals,

You can get an exact copy of your image if you just trace the image again on the other side then turn it the right way up and trace it on to your paper.

It does take a bit of practice, with watercolour a little goes a long way!
