WHAT IS BRUSHO? HOW I USE IT IN MY WATERCOLOUR PAINTING

[@janiceharper7628]

I love using brusho when making cards as I can stamp on top of the coloured background in black which is very effective. You could also use black watercolour paint to paint silhouettes of trees etc. The possibilities are endless.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much for your comment Janice, such great suggestions! The possibilities are endless! :)

[@lizstrangesavage7948]

Had never heard of these! The final card was so beautiful!

Hi Karen... Great tutorial and such a wonderful result, you've convinced me. I'm rusho to buy some Brusho 🙂 Gerald Hampshire, UK

I just love your expressive comments when watching how the Brusho reacts to the water! It makes me laugh, too, because I get it! Thanks for the great tutorials you provide!

Just brilliant - no stopping you now. Thanks for the great tips. I have one to create bubbles for an undersea background: - whip up some foam from washing up liquid - spread about an inch thick over your paper (you need a heavy weight 300 gsm+ as it gets very wet) - SPARINGLY (really - not much at all) sprinkle a mix of blues, greens and even a little yellow Brusho over the bubbles ... and wait PATIENTLY!! As the bubbles pop the Brusho lands on the paper and dries to look just like the foam itself - you may need to practice a few times - but it is really magical once you have mastered it. 😉🤩

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much Chris for your amazing suggestion!!! I think I will need to practice, but it sounds so much fun! Everyone loves Brusho! Thank you again so much for your suggestion and support!! :)😁

[@chrischurchley7003]

You are so welcome Cindy! Brusho is such fun...although a little messy 😀

[@katemccarthy2463]

Me either

[@anthonyford411]

Used to use Brusho, together with the wax resist technique, over 60 years ago at primary school: not as imaginatively as this of course!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Wow! Thank you for your lovely comment 😊

[@debbiethomas3687]

Brusho with the lid off is analagous to Fight Club! You do not talk over Brusho, you do not cough over Brusho and you do not, ever, sneeze over Brusho! Easy to overuse (I didn't intend to turn my cat painting blue!) but wonderful effects even for a complete beginner like me.

[@KarenRiceArt]

😂Your comment made me laugh Debbie! Less is definitely more when it comes to Brusho!

Brush is great for intense colors and experimental painting. I have painted three 24 by 36 abstract color field paintings on gessoed canvas that turned out splendidly…and all three sold. Once dry,several applications of spray varnish, let dry then brush on an additional varnish.

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thanks so much for sharing. I must try that method 😀

[@LesaMilders]

Good morning Karen! Thank you so much for your KZbin tutorials. As a novice watercolor artist I am finding them so very helpful. Would you mind sharing your views on signing your paintings? On the lovely little card you’ve done in this tutorial you name your work, date, and sign it. Do you name all of your paintings? Do you date all of your paintings? When you make prints of an original painting, do you then number each print individually? I’ve tried to research this and there so much information out there that seems contradictory. Perhaps I’m putting too much thought to this. Could it simply be personal preference? Again, thank you so very much for sharing your talent. Have a wonderful day!!

[@KarenRiceArt]

Thank you so much. I signed all of my paintings and date them. I don’t always give them a title unless I enter them into an exhibition. I don’t sell prints of my work. However I know many artists have a limited number of prints and name them 1/… I’m not sure if they sign them originally though. However, I think I would.

[@LesaMilders]

@@KarenRiceArt thank you so much! So very helpful! Again, thank you for your videos. I’m learning so many neat techniques from you. My precious 10 year old grandson whittled a twig for me to paint with. It works so well. 💙

Brusho is like life. It either works out or it doesn’t. 😂 it depends on a lot of factors….quality and thickness of paper, mist or spray, did you shake out too much or not enough? It’s a crap shoot for sure. Like life, it’s always a surprise to the good or the bad.😊
