Lisa’s videos are always so incredibly helpful! I hope there are more to come in 2023.

[@tanjaivanova2781]

Thank you for informative video. ☺️

[@felicitycrowe6971]

A great summary for starting out - thank you!

[@Katrina.for_art]

I got an easel but found my shoulder ached to paint at an angle, so I use my cute desk easel to hold my laptop at a more convenient angle. I have yet to travel anywhere but I enjoy using my blinged up travel brush. This was a great vid putting minds at ease so that learning to enjoy watercolour is much more fun.

[@flookoco2008]

Thank you great video

[@francoisvillon1300]

What brush are you using? I like the idea of bronze[-like] handle.

[@tanglingheadphones]

Lots of nice info here, thank you! It's also very, very weird to me to hear a hake brush pronounced like that.

[@lisatakahashi8604]

Hah-kay, is how I should have pronounced it right? I'm half Japanese but my English side got the better of me there! Apologies for the anglicising of the hake brush!

[@tanglingheadphones]

@@lisatakahashi8604 No apologies necessary, it just took me by surprise. Thank you again for the amazing information, I'm starting to get more interested in WC after playing with gouache for a bit, and your entire video has been amazing.

[@lisatakahashi8604]

@@tanglingheadphones that's really kind, thank you so much for watching

[@derickelsner6802]

What brush is she using

[@JacksonsArtSupplies]

Hi Derick, thank you for your question - Lisa uses / refers to quite a few brushes within this video, which one in particular are you interested in? It might be easier if you let us know at what point/time in the video you are referring to. Many thanks, the Jackson's team.
