I'm 58 and I've just started to paint. And I feel real lucky to stumble upon your videos just yesterday. You're such a fantastic teacher!! Thank you for teaching us some simple techniques that are really helpful. I'm following your instructions. Thank you, dear Teacher. ❤

Welcome my new watercolor friend! It’s never too late to learn how to paint, I’m so glad you’re giving this a try! Watercolor painting can take a bit of practice, but I find it to be so enjoyable and even therapeutic. 😊 I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. 💕 Happy painting!

Liesl, my husband gave me this Dagger brush as a gift. Then he said he had watched a bunch of videos about this brush and sent me an email with his favorite. When I opened the email, I saw it was you. I told him I am well familiar with your channel, you being one of my favorite. Love this video, you are such an excellent teacher.

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Ha ha! Well how serendipitous!! 🤗 I’m glad to hear you both approve! 😉 I hope you enjoy getting to know your new dagger brush too, what a fun gift to be given. (Your husband must know you well!) I hope you have a lovely rest of your day. Happy painting my friend!

Hi Liesl. Love your channel! You are such a great teacher , you explain everything you’re doing so well. I was lucky enough to find a great deal on different prince neptune brunches. So would love to see tutorials on what they all can do. Thank you

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

You are so kind, 🥰 I’m happy to hear you enjoyed this tutorial! I haven’t ever tried out the brushes you mentioned, I’ll definitely have to look into them. 😊 Thank you for your lovely comment today, it truly means a lot. Have a wonderful day!

Very elaborate and illustrative explanations...your work and pallette are clean n beautiful..do share tips on pallette cleaning as well..ty

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Thanks so much for watching! I will definitely consider doing a video on pallet and brush cleaning! Thanks for the suggestion. 😊

[@fiddlermom9629]

THANK YOU for showing your palette! It can be hard to judge how concentrated to make the paint, but this helps a lot. I just bought a dagger brush, so I'm going to do some drills.

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Yay! 😊 I’m so happy to hear that you’re going to give the dagger a try and that this tutorial was a little helpful to you. It can take a bit of practice, buts it’s really fun once you get the hang of it! Thanks for watching and happy painting! 🥰

Excellent tutorial! I love it! We need more of these. So many instructors show us the various techniques needed to paint with watercolour, but they seldom teach students how to use their brushes. Thank you.

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Thanks SO much for watching! 😊

[@christownsend9550]

Just found your channel, love the dagger brush tutorial. You make it look so easy, I find joining two brush strokes to make a fatter leaf so hard, so I’ll just keep practicing.

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

I’m glad you’re giving it a try! It does take a bit of practice! But you can do it!! 😊 (Please don’t give up or compare yourself to me! I have been doing this for a long time, allow yourself to make mistakes! 😉) Gave a great day! Happy Painting!

[@joycekowbelharvey4816]

They are very nice brushes. I haven’t tried any other brands so I don’t have anything to compare them to. They aren’t a snap brush,which I haven’t tried either, but I do like these ones. They are imitation square.

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Thanks for the info! 🥰

[@ReneeW59]

Wow, you are a pro with the dagger! I have such a hard time with it. It feels awkward to me. I'm going to have to watch this video over and over. Thank you!

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Awe! 🥰 That’s so sweet of you! I’m glad you enjoyed this tutorial, I hope it will be helpful. 😊 Thanks so much for watching!

[@nickdangere8091]

Couldn’t find your video, but at last, joy! Thank you I love the Princeton dagger brush. Do you have any experience with Princeton Neptune ones please? You are a very good artist❤

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Princeton brands are usually pretty good brushes! Unfortunately I don’t have a Princeton Neptune yet, but I’ll look into it. Thanks so much for watching! Have a fabulous day. 😊

[@janellethompson888]

Lovely!

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

🥰

[@marlbboro8091]

I just bought a 1/4 inch Princeton synthetic squirrel dagger from Amazon. it’s so long, and floppy (because squirrel ) having a tough time. But am determined to understand it better.

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

The dagger brush can take some practice to get the hang of. I have found that Artegria brand dagger brushes are not quite so long and floppy and are a little easier to control if you’d like to look into it. Of course it comes in a set of all different sizes of brushes, but it might be worth a try. I’ll put a link here to the brush set as well as a tutorial in which I use this Artegria dagger to paint some autumn leaves if you’d like to check it out. Thanks for watching!

[@annharper8342]

Your video and speaking are lovely. I went to the link and the dagger brush received less than happy reviews on Amazon. Damaged or used brushes etc received. Makes me hesitate to purchase😢

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Aw! 🥰 Thanks Ann! That’s too bad about the reviews on the brush. You should only get it if you’re sure! I took the risk and the one I ordered has been fine, but you never know what you might get! 🤷‍♀️ There might be better quality dagger brushes out there though. 😊

[@cathydoorten]

I wish you had zoomed in with these paintings so it is beter to see what you are doing with your brush. Mostly for painting four.

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Thanks for watching Cathy. You might enjoy my more recent tutorials more than these old ones. I was still new to creating videos and I have learned since then. The ones I put out now are zoomed in often, the pace can be slower and easier to follow and if I have a reference picture I try to show it a portion of the time. I know you were looking at the iris before, and I do have a newer wild iris video with all of these elements. Maybe you could take a look. 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5iVaZelYp5rppYsi=3eM_yF7ybdnD7P0A
