Glad you like them! I am very curious about ink acrylic but still can’t find time to try it out!😅

[@dentnar4609]

Muy útil tu video para mi como principiante.Saludos desde 🇦🇷 Argentina.

[@olgakoelsch]

I am happy to hear that!

[@aliceprofitt8506]

This was so helpful. I especially need to practice applying pressure and releasing pressure techniques, and holding a brush differently for detail or very loose. Such a great summary. I really appreciate your videos. Thank you.

[@olgakoelsch]

You're so welcome! I wish you a great progress!

[@pennywheeler2598]

Six of those tips, I knew nothing about.....WOW!!! They are fantastic tips. Thank you so much for sharing your tips. I will be using them and practicing them all the time. Also, I want to thank you, for all the hard work you do to bring us excellent tutorials. 🎨💕

[@olgakoelsch]

You are so welcome! Thank you for your kindness!🤗

[@conniemesce4093]

I agree with you about washing or cleaning your pallette. It's a waste of paint, it can be activated any time you need that or those colors again! ❤

[@olgakoelsch]

Exactly!! Thank you for your support!🤗

[@barbcairns2408]

Using 2 brushes is my favorite tip

[@olgakoelsch]

I am glad you like it!

[@donnastrohmeier8739]

Thanks!

[@olgakoelsch]

You are very welcome!🤗

[@carmenromero6426]

Thanks you very much, I'm very lost and your help is priceless. (sorry for my english)

[@olgakoelsch]

Glad I could help! What’s your biggest trouble with watercolor, could you share?

[@carmenromero6426]

@@olgakoelsch the water, controling the water everywhere, in the paper, in the brush, the water in the pigment... I'm having problems even with my shower's water! (Trying to do a joke in english...) Always too much or very few, never the right cuantity.

[@carolinafernandezoro733]

Awesome!!

[@olgakoelsch]

Thank you! Cheers!🤗

[@cindytaylor6657]

So helpful

[@olgakoelsch]

Glad you think so!🤗🤗🤗

[@judybrayer3740]

I love all your videos and thank you so much,,,,could you do some painting on card size 5x7 to get the right dimension like on flowers or whatever,,again thank you

[@olgakoelsch]

Great idea! Thank you! I also have a tutorial with Christmas cards here kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWe0qX6wmc-ZbJosi=QfKfVnSpi9xNY2w-

[@h.otalora]

Thank you I´m a beginner...your advices helps me a lot...I´m looking to paint landscapes and human bodies...do you have some tutorial about it?

[@olgakoelsch]

I am glad you found it helpful! I have just a few of landscapes here kzbin.info/aero/PLWHuVEHPg3REqa10wZta3WxbE6EoDkagx&si=Mk89_Z9RmJ9HcGzC

[@sue3686]

Helpful tips! I was so glad to hear you say don't wash the palette - I do that and always think I'm being crazy, but why lose all that mixture that you took time to mix? Also, I had never thought about using two brushes. Thank you for sharing these!

[@olgakoelsch]

Glad it was helpful! I hope it will bring more fun to painting 🤗

[@sevvalKale]

🙏🌺❤️

[@olgakoelsch]

Thank you!

[@artflowerslofi2676]

I was thinking; Some watercolors change their vibrance when they are wet and when they dry. Any help?

[@olgakoelsch]

That a good notice! It’s very natural for watercolors as paper absorbs some pigments. Cotton paper absorbs more than synthetic. Usually you just get used to your colors and know when it’s possible to add some more vibrancy 🤗
