[@michaelklein5242]

My rock work always winds up looking like a moldy slice of pizza or something, so glad I watched. Nice, simple watercolor look and anxious to try out the scraping technique this evening. My thanks, Deb! 🎨

Thank you, Deb. I love scraping, it can give some wonderful and very effective results, as you demonstrated.

[@DebWatson]

Absolutely, Susan! I actually don't scrape often (except for far away trees) and I was surprised at how well the distant mountains turned out in the second video.

@@DebWatson Thank you.

[@karenhoward303]

Deb, what kind of paint do you use?

[@DebWatson]

I like Qor brand - a new type by Golden company. The color doesn't fade away when it dries, so I end up using less paint. They have several good sample sets.
