I was looking at your class. I think my biggest issue is not knowing when to drop paint into a painted area and having trouble with paint ratio to water. Does your class cover these things!

[@artericson]

Nice explanation of the types of brushes. Thanks for the info!

[@cindyhills5593]

This is one of my favorite videos. Thank you! I watch it often and it has kept me from getting frustrated.

[@luguy8347]

Am sooooo grateful for your very specific points. Thank you, Thank you. Thank you

[@learntopaintwatercolor]

You are so welcome!

[@marjoriebelt2842]

This was an amazing help! I’ve probably heard some of this in various workshops I’ve attended, but your summary will go a long way towards giving me more self confidence in my watercolor painting.

[@janelowmass7038]

[@learntopaintwatercolor]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@KginVT]

Thank you! Very thorough and helpful!

[@artericson]

I agree! very helpful.

[@patriciasalem3606]

This was very helpful, thank you. I have some Christmas money to spend and will be getting a few more brushes.

[@PhyllisSprinkle-f5j]

Very helpful, thank you. I do have a question though. In this video you mentioned the sign writer brush. In some of your other videos you use a calligraphy brush. Are these the same? If not, what size calligraphy brush would you recommend for a beginner?

[@pattycyr8662]

Thanks very much for the video. Some round brushes I've seen are cut at an angle on the opposite end of the brush - is that for making blades of grass, etc?

[@sedamcclurg9699]

Thank you so much for simple. I end up using the one that "feels good" and makes the right marks :)

[@artericson]

I hear you! If a brush is working well for you in a given subject I would keep using it.

[@shutterartphotography]

need advice about Led lamps for painting

[@user-hm2tg8kz1l]

Thank you. Great info as always 😀

[@learntopaintwatercolor]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ph7467]

Thanks, it is excellent and very useful! - For what size of paper the brushes you show are fitted? - Is it possible to find the "Dream Catcher 14" online?

[@josephineherrera8508]

Where can one get the Dream Catcher brush?

[@Lush..]

Whats the perla escoda in the for the middle painting??

[@argentdog]

Thanks!

[@learntopaintwatercolor]

You’re welcome! Thank you!

[@kellydanson2121]

Matt, when using a mop brush, I'm having a problem with to much water. What is your suggestion?

[@artericson]

That's what I would do as well! keep testing until you have the right amount of water on the brush.

[@mikenoneofyourbusiness7122]

Learn water control. The problem is in your skill, not in the brush itself.

[@sisterwrath1773]

Thank you Matt, very interesting. Glad to see you use synthetic hair brushes as well. How do you keep your natural hair brushes in shape? What are the things to be careful with pan paints and brushes?? I have a special brush to get and dilute pan paint before I use another brush. Please let us know. And thank you for your wonderful video!

[@artericson]

I would use organic natural soap to clean natural hair brushes and water. Stay away from stripping types of soaps. Think of it like your own hair.

[@FranfromFL]

What size is the Silver Black Velvet brush? Thank you.

[@Lush..]

Its size 16

[@dilipjadhav6442]

The Best!!

[@mrsdee47]

Thank you so much

[@Luijee612]

I don’t have a knowledge about drawing and painting. How could I learn to painting ? Have any classes for the beginner ?

[@mikenoneofyourbusiness7122]

Just pick up a pensil or pen and start creating lines on paper, representing shapes in your environment. There were zero art classes or courses just 2-3 hundred years ago, yet there are tons of artworks. No, you DO NOT need any lessons. You have your eyes.

[@dougg1075]

Teacher: “ what brush are you using?” Student: “ I can’t tell ,the number is worn off” Teacher: “ you pass “

[@mikenoneofyourbusiness7122]

No need to onow the numbers. It always depends on the size of your paper, so you will definitely need a few sizes.

[@ginrogbel]

I can’t find the Custom shop LL -00 sign writers….

[@colorfulwater5070]

Matt! I just lost some of the lines that I should have drawn darker. I'm forging into the unknown now.

[@learntopaintwatercolor]

Yes, I've been there.

[@lauraknightart]

For the love of god just tell us the size number 😂

[@mikenoneofyourbusiness7122]

It depends on how big is your paper. The bigger the paper, the bigger the brushes. You will need a few! You don’t need any numbers, seriously.
