After receiving a lot of comments regarding the black canvas I used in this video, I created a newer tutorial on a white canvas which is easier to see😉 Here’s the link : kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3eyqXSkmcSenKcsi=1p87QIXBda5xqvAs

Yup! That helps us a lots better 🙌🏻 Thank you 🙏🏻

[@toonybrain]

Thank you for this.👍🏼👍🏼

[@pamelaasprey7896]

Thank you it helps alot

[@bethkramer8581]

Yeah I ended up buying the soft one. I'll need to get a stiffer one somedsay.

[@barbaraestes4786]

Enjoyed it.

[@vivianbunch1963]

I have painted for twenty years and this demo was very helpful! Thank you

[@joniyoungart]

Wonderful!

[@tnwaltz1]

The fan brush demonstration is just what I needed. I was ready to throw away my soft fan brush because it "spiked" and I thought it was just a bad brush. I have only been painting a year and your demonstration videos are worth their weight in gold! ⭐

[@joniyoungart]

Glad it helped! Thank you 😊

[@ElizabethMathewiiind]

The demo ii sI nice well I would like.t know how oil paint brushes safely cleaned at home

[@helenai13]

The first, and so far the only time I used a fan brush (as the soft one on the right), the same thing happened. As soon as the bristles started splitting I thought the brush was ruined, only realising it was its nature when I washed it and dried having gone back to the same soft initial shape. Meanwhile nothing came out of what I was trying to make because I didn’t know how to handle it. Ignorance is not always bliss…😊

[@Dita66]

@@ElizabethMathewiiindthere is a special soap for brushes cleaning wit the oils

[@mjpete27]

@@ElizabethMathewiiind Depending on if you want toxic free options or not! the easiest is just use oil and then the brush cleaner soap bars after the oil is clean from changing or "rinsing" your dirty brushes from the oil. I have started to use Lavender oil t oclean as well as thin my oil paints and I want to try it with water soluble oil paints too! Good Luck.

[@lilly1761]

WOW, what a difference a brush makes! Thank you so much, REALLY REALLY enjoyed it and learned so much...THANX! 💚

[@cindybohl9593]

Excellent demo! No one has ever showed me how to load and use these brushes correctly. Thank you! ( only thing is….the black on black was a little difficult to see)

[@joniyoungart]

Thanks! Here’s the new video on a white canvas much easier to see kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3eyqXSkmcSenKcsi=lpQ42zTRDFTCguxI

[@glenngriffon8032]

Ohhh by the graces! The demo with the soft fan was so immensely validating. I am extremely new to painting and i didn't realize that there was so much difference in results between soft bristles and stiff bristles. I'm 42 and for my entire life I believed that stiff bristles were a sign that a brush was old and worn out and not useful anymore! I've been trying to make trees with my nice, soft, smooth fan brushes and beating myself up for not getting the results i wanted. I'm not even through the whole video yet and I've felt such a massive weight come off my shoulders because I thought I was doing something terribly wrong. Well, i mean i kind of am using such a thin brush but now i know that it's more because of my tools than me. I need a stiffer brush. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much.

[@pipfox7834]

Good job. Have you thought of some inexpensive community classes? You learn the basics (brushes etc) in a couple or three weeks, saves a lot of frustration if your familiar with your tools first. Before you start the journey... Like any skill, really 😊

[@bobmiliano]

wow! i thank you for these brush tutorials.. as a retired educator, i am always trying to bring young people into the field of art. but! realize that its always back to the basics. you are an excellent instructor..... Please ! keep up your tutorials on the basics... thank you again.. roberto ..

[@terrifrederickson2321]

This was EXTREMELY helpful. I thought I was hopeless with a fan brush and didn't know why! Here it was, I wasn't using the correct fan brush for the job! This was so helpful to me!

[@famouspancha6979]

Hi Jony... msg for u... In childhood I like to draw and wanted to join drawing classes n buying colours n copies but due to my family background couldn't continue my hobby(desire). Now after watching Ur videos, I recalled my childhood which I left long before. I love ur teaching techniques n thinking of continuing my hobby. Because of u n Ur help I could fulfill my childhood dream attending drawing classes... Love from Nepal...❤❤❤❤

[@sheygillespie6511]

Now I see why your piece changes with every brush stroke. Every single stroke is deliberately, intentional and different from the next one. Thanks for this tutorial. I learned a lot!

[@joniyoungart]

Thank you very much!

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

Great job. I teach art now and then, and when someone asks, "What is most important when creating art?" I answer, "Learn what the art tools are and, more importantly, what you can... and cannot... do with them." The second thing to learn is what your choice of medium can... and cannot... do. Getting your head around those two things will make creating good art far easier. 🎨

[@theresacnatale6400]

I struggled with fan brushes , Now I know why,, Thank You for This 👍💕

I’m really happy this tutorial is helping so many! Thanks for leaving positive feedback Theresa 🤗

[@marilynzawojski1992]

I've been taking lessons for many years and I never knew the difference between the soft and the stiffer fan brush and I never knew what the fill that was for thank you very much

[@joniyoungart]

You are so welcome!

[@megandavies4959]

So this is where I'm going wrong The difference between 2 brushes is amazing thanks Just started painting so this info is appreciated thank you so much Meg

[@joniyoungart]

Thanks Meg!

[@CarolinaCarolina-ph9mx]

At this point, due to Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS), I think I have about 1 trillion + brushes, yet only 3 of them are fan brushes. I never really found a use for them. This tutorial is helpful, so I learned a few things here, and then tested out your tricks out on the ones I have. I am a watercolorist, and 2 of my fans are soft, and the other is mid-range, so I don't have an actual stiff brush. My soft ones seem to be best for that striped waterfall effect. The mid-range one (Jackson's Stippler fan, medium), does lines very well, too, with watercolor paint, but the lines are thicker. None of my fans do trees well, but I think they could all do grass fairly okay along with waterfalls. There are few brushes I need/want at this point, but I think a stiff fan brush has just been added to the tiny list. I imagine it would be wonderful to use if I painted with acrylics or oils. Thank you for the tips. 😊

I would appreciate your adding a deers foot brush to your wonderful list. I am so very happy you are presenting this to us. I am just having trouble with black paint on black canvas. Also, are saying we should use the thicker bristle brush instead of the wimpy one? Thank you. New listener, New subscriber!

[@cherieborges1399]

Thanks!

Thank you 🙏

[@pamelabrown6683]

This is very interesting. When I used my fan brush for the first time, I thought I bought the wrong type of brush when the brush separated itself when I was doing trees and clouds. I would have never thought of wiggling the brush to make it un-separated. Thank you, Joni, for this demonstration. 😊👌

[@sandraseefried1925]

Yes yes yes, you have solved many of my problems.......waterfalls particularly, I didn't like that little wimpy fan at all, now I know. Thank you! QUESTION, how do you manage to keep your acrylics to stay so wet on your pallet? Big piles?

[@joniyoungart]

I use a waterproof palette and heavy bodied acrylics ☺️
