Watercolor Tutorial Part 1: "Let's Make Bad Art Together"

(Note: video has auto-captions for now but I'll write my own as soon as I get the chance. UPDATE: Thumbnail and video chapters have been added!)

This is Part 1 of what will be a 3 part video series exploring three different watercolor painting styles. Each video captures me working on a piece in real time (for the most part, some segments are timelapsed for conciseness). I talk about my thought processes for making certain decisions while I'm working, describe the materials and techniques that I use, ramble about various experiences I've had as someone with a Studio Art degree, and overall just try to provide some tips and encouragement for beginning and/or low income artists who want to learn watercolor painting.

Part 1 includes topics such as:

The materials I use in depth

The pros and cons of watercolor as a medium and how friendly it is for beginners

How watercolor works and acts while you're working with it

The first style/techniques of watercolor painting I was ever taught

A few tidbits of color theory

Some exercises for learning to think in different ways while making art (shapes instead of lines for painting, colors instead of black and white for shadows and highlights, mimicry of real life instead of symbols, etc.)

Becoming comfortable with making "bad art"

Description: "If you could remember every one of your dreams in vivid, blood-soaked detail, would you consider it a blessing or a curse? Would you risk the nightmares in order to experience the dreams where you could fly, or find inspiration, or feel utterly safe? How long would it take before the line between dream and reality became incomprehensibly smeared? Fidelity is a gallery of poetry, prose, and photography documenting a dreamscape that absconded from the dreamer's mind into the waking world."
