I loved the gentle music in this as well

[@Rubiepurl]

Great video! Perfect combination of music and voiceover, and I learned a lot! The salt on the tree trunks really made them come alive.

[@solvingwatercolour3633]

Thank you!

[@IMMA383]

Wonderful video and truly useful. Thank you ☺!.

Very nice trees. Calligraphy brushes are probably my favorite and what I reach for the most.

[@JC-il4or]

Very nice! Enjoyed the magic and the music!

Just found you today and must say it was a real pleasure to watch it and to listen to your words and voice. And trees are a wonderful theme for me. And the way you do it here is just great! Thank you very very much to make that evening so nice for me💕

I'm so glad you found it useful, thanks for commenting

[@OkieSketcher1949]

I’ve known about this technique for years and never used it! Why I’ve done this is a mystery to me. I guess I just got locked in to other techniques. I’ll not make this mistake anymore. I like what I saw and I’ve subscribed to see more. Thank you for this.

Hello ! I love this going to try it. I’m new to your channel and I love your work 🩷

[@LoudLin86]

Thank you! Those look great and look like a fun practice to try out! It looks like you're using rough paper and have it on an angle?

[@annamaria5169]

How generously you share your skill and talent. Thank you! Has it been wet on dry all the time? Or wet on wet for the bigger trees? Great to watch you paint ❤

[@solvingwatercolour3633]

Thanks, these were painted mostly wet into wet. I dried after sprinkling salt then any further additions were wet on dry

[@whatsurcolorstory]

Thanks for sharing!! Can u tell me how is ur paper is wet for the longest time. Which paper do u use?

[@solvingwatercolour3633]

In this one I'm using Arches rough. It's variable but the paper stays wet depending on how much water you put down and also how warm and dry your environment is. Mine is cold and damp atm!

[@schollcampos]

Any tips of the type of calligraphy brush to buy?

[@solvingwatercolour3633]

Thanks for your question. honestly, they are so cheap. I have several of them in different sizes, all by different manufacturers. I have one or 2 that form a nice point which are good for branches like in this video and a couple of others that are older and barely form a point at all any longer but they all come in useful. Here's my amazon link, I think any of these would do tbh amzn.to/4ccoUWn. Flat brushes on the other hand, I'm much more picky about, I personally love Princetons.

[@maryweideman8782]

Your demos are great, but agree with those who suggest removing the background music. It’s a distraction, doesn’t enhance your video demos. But thanks for the video, lots of good info there.

[@serenityjewel]

Loved this. I will say it's hard to listen to you and the music at the same time. A lot of KZbinrs are moving away from music, especially when they're talking. Your music is loud when you're not talking but then your voice is soft when you do talk. It's kind of disconcerting.

[@solvingwatercolour3633]

I take your point, some people like the music some don't. I like having it to fill in the silences but maybe the balance isn't quite right it's something I'm experimenting with. Unfortunately KZbin also changes the volume settings so what you hear may not have been how it originally sounded when I uploaded.

[@treenaknelson2623]

I have just discovered your videos. I really like your style of painting! However, the background music is unfortunate. Too prominent and very annoying; it's not needed.

[@TheDabshear]

Just turn your sound off…
