Hi, can you tell me what brush that was that you initially used to wet the paper (dark wood handle)? My hake brushes like to shed and that looked like a really nice brush. Thanks!

An amazing video full of useful accessible knowledge and techniques. I love your style and process.

Du machst sehr schöle Illustrationen! Bravo! Bei mir ist es allerdings ein Gesezt, das ich meine edlen Aquarellbuntstufte niemnals nass mache. Ich male mir meine Farbmischungen auf ein extra stück Papier und gehe dann mit dem Pinsel drüber um sie zu Aktivieren oder meine Farmbischungen ganz fein heraus zu Arbeiten! So bekomme ich noch ein Wenig mehr Kontrolle, wenn ich damit in meine Illustration gehe! LG.

Excellent information and just what I needed to know. So glad I found your channel! Thank you!

Beautiful work, inspiring to try watercolour pencils again. I was inspired by your Skillshare class and tried a bit, and saved that class for reference. Got a new box of these pencils for my bday this month, and hope to try to use them more!

More watercolor pencils! Thank you!🎉

I've just ordered some watercolour pencils and can't wait to try them.

So simple, so dificult, so Very, Very beautiful. I am happy to find you! Many greetings from Czech country. ❤❤❤

See you in the masterclass: bit.ly/3VLNF5f

I'm obsessed, particularly, with trying to do the one of the raven soaring in the mist. If you sign up for the masterclass, can you take your time during the class, and is one able to do it at a slower pace, or is there a time limit (sometimes I'm unable to paint for physical reasons). Also, will this class be available in the future, and what does "real time" mean? As you can tell, I'm totally unfamiliar with these things. Thanks.

Beautiful painting!!!!!

I love this autumn forest and did repaint it. Did not look closest to what you painted but overall the outcome wasn´t bad. One thing I did nt manage was how you spilt the leaves onto the paper. Tried with finger, tried with two brushes. No, did not work. Great if you could show that again also who (thick) you mixed the colours. Thanks in Advance!

I am learning something new every day! Wonderful tutorial, thank you and fabulous artwork!

what a brilliant video, thank you so much for sharing ☺

😮😮😮😮😮😮🎉❤🎉❤

Very nice...thank you for the real information....

A good one to save and study several times. Thank you

I've been buying bundles of the large Arches sheets and cutting them down to the sizes needed for years now. Brings down cost per square centimeter of high quality paper a lot...

Also the Skillshare link did not work or me. Is there a code?

I have such a problem with tape. I’ve tried washi, which leak, then regular tape and masking tape which tear often. What do you use? I just adore your videos and watch them for hours!

Very interesting! I cannot imagine my paper staying wet, or even damp, for 45 minutes! 😮 Arches, or Saunders Waterford is what I use most often., and I thought I was using a LOT of water! I’ve also been using pans, instead of tubes. Time to do some experimenting! Thanks for the video!

Excellent info. I love the painting very much. Thank you!

Thanks for your video. I love to be lazy ... that's the way I want on my paintings :)

Very informative!!! One of the other artists I also follow on KZbin suggested mixing some ox gall liquid with the water to help increase wetting and improves flow and it really worked, Thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you so much for sharing going to invest in better paper.

Thank you for all good advices! Very good! I struggle with wet in wet, so this was useful for me.

Great video. I use good paper but my paintings always dry too quickly. I live in a region of Australia, which can be hot and dry which doesn’t help but I can see from this tutorial that I could use a lot more water initially. Looking forward to trying that on my next painting. Thank you 🙏 Lovely painting. I like your style ❤

Outstanding! Enjoy your process so much. Happy Holidays

Beautiful ❤

Thank you for your advice, and have a great holiday season !

Bonjour Françoise. Je découvre ton site suite à un article dans le magazine de la Ville de SERVIAN. BRAVO ! Penses-tu pouvoir en faire d'autres en français ?

Beautiful

How did you get from 11:44 to 12:22? Big jump there!!

Thank you for sharing you words of wisdom…is there a tutorial for this train? Both my son in law and 2 grandsons love trains

Best tip ever for beginners is using 100%cotton paper, i used cheap pulp papers for years, had decent results but cotton is so much better for sure. 😊

More Water Colour Pencils, please. Very helpful. Thanks!!

Caran dache wood is really poor quality I was disappointed

Arteza Hot Press paper is quite reasonably priced. It’s 100% cotton as well.

I've just completed a study of multi-layered portraits on various 12x16 watercolor blocks: Saunders, Arches, Meeden, New York Central, Fabriano, Baohong (student) and Legion, as well as others at different times. Side by side over the past few months. So, my head-to-head competition of real-world portrait painting is finally done, and the winner is...: Baohong. I thought it was going to be Saunders, but it wasn't. Arches is, of course, right there with Baohong, but at 3 times the price. 2nd was Meeden, which some think is the same thing as Baohong, but I don't think so. I have not tried Baohong Artist because my availability is only the course paper, and that texture is not ideal for most portrait paintings. The reason Baohong wins is as follows: 1) Layer after layer after layer, no peeling at all. For someone who layers, lifts, plays with the paper a lot, this is a big deal. 2) Smooth application and the paint stays workable a good while. Going over an edge with a slightly damp brush blends the edge effortlessly and in one stroke. Super special. 3) Perfect bleeds and no surprises. 4) I was sold on this paper after 30 seconds of painting on it. Obviously great, right out of the gate on a 10-hour painting, and through the whole 10 hours, nothing to convince me otherwise. Your review seems to be of a very highly textured paper (likely the coarse version of their cold press). I know that most of the Artist level paper they sell is coarse. Try the plain old lowly Student paper. I think the only difference is the Student grade has a texture almost identical to Arches standard cold press.
