Hi there, Liron here!
And today I want to talk to you about what I perceive to be one of the hardest watercolor painting techniques - blending and edge control!
Funny enough, this is also a very basic technique that I recommend mastering early on. It's an important pillar of watercolor painting.

You enjoy the sound of rain?! I guess it must not rain much in Israel? :) Try living in Ireland, where it rains every day and let me know how you feel about the rain then. :P Really informative video, Liron. :)

[@LironYan]

Haha, I’ll admit we don’t get much rain here, and it seems the winters become shorter and shorter with every year that goes 😛 I hope to visit there one day!

[@Tennishead21]

I think we have the opposite problem. It seems Irish winters are getting longer and longer with each passing year! It is March and there is still ice and snow on the ground! You would be most welcome to visit if you can manage the rain. :) Did you ever get the email I sent you about Schmincke paints?

[@craftydegrasse3679]

I'm here in Seattle,Washington usa,it rains a lot! Love to sound of it that's about it! lol 😂 nice video. Thanks for sharing 💜😄

[@txnmopainter]

Doesn't rain much in Texas either. Thanks for the video.

[@annabunny1665]

I'm in St Petersburg and legend has it that it will be sunny someday.

[@darI33n]

I'm a beginner and found this really helpful. Thanks.

[@madjayhawk]

Thanks for taking the time to make your videos. They are extremely helpful to us that are just starting out in painting with watercolors. Generous people like you make this planet a better place to live.

[@peggyboe4228]

I have watched a lot of blending videos and the results you get with that technique was really eye - opening. Don’t ever think you’re being too basic!

[@eunicefarrington5779]

Thanks so much. This video was so helpful for me. Don't ever think you're breaking things down too much, or that we're bored when you go over the same thing repeatedly. You are a very gifted teacher!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much ☺️🙏🏼🙏🏼 I really appreciate it

[@michellesing7498]

Honestly this breakdown has helped me so much with blending out smoothly! Thank you so much!! Ive gone from sloppy bulky, to waaaay smoother!

[@milenabdesign]

I agree, the perfect water-paint ratio is so important and hard to find! Very cool tips! Thank you ;)

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 Indeed a tricky skill, but definitely comes with time!

[@charlieberger2202]

I am two minutes and seven seconds into my first taste of your videos, and I already know I will be coming back for more. Why? It's a) your command of the language of artmaking, and b) your effortless blend of seriousness and humor, and c) ....well, I'll let you know as soon as I've digested a couple more of your posts, but I'm certain there will be more. Well done, Liron, and thanks.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so so much Charlie! 😊🙏🏼 Welcome aboard 😁

[@alananoor4324]

I was trying to paint a white flower and I really struggled with that beginner mistake, so coming across this video right after I gave up on my 3 petals is a miracle. Thank you!

[@LironYan]

Haha so happy it helped Alana! Keep practicing and you'll make it 😊🙏🏼

[@hifzakhalid1879]

Excellent video. The fact that you show us how it's NOT supposed to look and the whys and hows of what a beginner is doing wrong is really really helpful 💞💞

[@algalande]

This channel is treasure of knowledge..lessons that are rare on youtube..Love from India❤..thank you !

[@LironYan]

Thank you my friend 😊🙏🏼 I have a lot of new videos that I think get better and better (and with less views), I hope you’ll find some gems there too 🎨

[@JoyceDlugokinski]

Oh my goodness, where have you been all my painting life? This is exactly what I have been doing wrong…going back and trying to rework my paint ! Thank you so much for such great videos. ♥️

[@NMranchhand]

You’re a terrific teacher. You properly limit the scope of the instruction to one topic and then expand on that topic fully and unhurriedly (certainly never boring). I have subscribed. Thank you.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Very happy to have you onboard!

[@kaymerrill8334]

Best video on water color blending I have seen...thank you!

[@cmeblu75]

I think it’s really important that you take your time. I know most people want quick videos, but that doesn’t help those of us who are learning. So the long explanations are necessary, very important and I’m very grateful. I’m definitely new, but try every day for showing depth, blending and of course making objects look shiny. This is my constant practice. Thank you for the videos

[@kangasheep]

OH MY GOODNESS!! You have changed my life! By showing the wrong way to do it i was able to see exactly what ive been doing wrong!! This has been months of torture. Thank you so much for your amazing teaching. I shall be painting a masterpiece tomorrow 😁 xxxx

[@LironYan]

Haha so happy to hear, I count on you 😊🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thank you so much and let me know how it goes

[@kangasheep]

@@LironYan i definitely will! Thank you xxxx

[@davidrobinson7422]

Most videos seem to go under the assumption that one knows how to blend. I've found it a difficult skill to master, so I appreciate the basic level, and will use your exercises to improve. Thank you so much!

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear 😊 Thank you for letting me know 🙏🏼 I'm also planning a follow-up vid for this one, with slightly more advanced concepts and things I didn't get to cover in this one.

[@annewatman677]

Basics are so important! I’m truly grateful to you for demonstrating this, and you are giving me all kinds of things to practice! I’m certainly not bored, just excited to try it myself!

[@antiachen5032]

It is very clear for how you control the amount of water, I really need this, many videos they just apply color but they do not really show how much water they are using and is there paint on the brush, I think it is very important to a totally beginner like me. Thank you very much and now I am doing this training all the time and trying to make my circles to have as smooth as transition as possible.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Trying to show what nobody else shows 😉 Will hopefully find even more specific and neglected topics to share in the future

[@BarbaraGilbertdesigner]

Thank you so much Liron, this is exactly what I needed! I am fairly new to watercolor and have been having a terrible time with hard edges. I will start practicing immediately.

[@LironYan]

Happy to help 😊🙏🏼

[@cheerp7313]

I learned (and still learning) so much from your videos. You are so generous with your talent. Thank you very much!

[@LironYan]

You are welcome! 😊🙏🏼It's my pleasure Thank you so much for watching!

[@marysu4]

It's never a bad thing to go back to basics! Sometimes one can get a little sloppy or forgetful and problems start happening that are hard to fix. A good return to basics reminds you what you are doing "wrong" to make the problem happen. Loving your approach so much! Thanks for sharing!

[@LironYan]

So true! I feel like I will soon go through another "cycle" of going back to basics (: Thank you

[@susandavenport8777]

Excellent demo!! THANK YOU! As a self-taught artist, I really appreciate it when your expertise is shared👍👍❤️

[@christessone2486]

Incredibly helpful demo, thank you! I tend to do the wet-in-wet version you did in the bottom right, and I haven’t been happy with the results. I get it now.

[@LironYan]

I'm happy this helps! ^_^ Thank you. Full on wet-in-wet has its uses too. But I indeed find that this is better done wet on dry (:

[@tanmayshah7906]

By far, the best and most easy tips I found on watercolor. Very well explained and demonstrated 👍

[@LironYan]

Wow thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Very happy to hear!

[@lOwlEyesl]

I love the sound of the rain. I live in a city near Phoenix, Arizona, USA so its pretty dry hear all the time and doesn't rain often, but when it does it pours and I love it. Great painting weather :) of course if you paint as much as I do (and I think you do) all weather is great painting weather. Anyway, great topic. Its good to get back to the basics sometimes.

[@LironYan]

I totally get what you are saying 😁 ☁️ 🌧 ☔️

[@womanwithamask2631]

I'm eternally grateful. Thank you so much! I fell in love with watercolour many years ago (since Atanur Doğan founded International Watercolour society in 2011) but there were not enough educational sources then. So, I quit-I was so frustrated with the results. In the past few months, I started again and I realized that there are plenty of sources. Thank you so much! You are a great teacher!

[@giacosmos3739]

Even if you repeat " sorry this is very basic yada yada " it helps a lot and i realised how often i made this "wet on wet " mistakes;it happened even yesterday ; so thank youuu! ~ :3

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear ^_^ I was initially afraid that some will feel like it's redundant (I don't haha) or too simple. I'm happy to see many needed that (: Thank you

[@vhansenny]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have been struggling with this essential aspect of watercolor and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Because you demonstrate the correct way, as well as the ways it can go wrong, I finally get it. After watching numerous other instructional videos, thanks to yours, I can finally move on and get painting! VH

[@marijadika6444]

THANK YOU! Finally I get it! Please share more of the basic techniques of water control...

[@LironYan]

My pleasure! 😊🎨 I’m planning on doing more of these soon!

[@ladyhecate9450]

I am just getting into watercolor. I have blended with colored pencils which I have been dabbling with for 4 years and before that I worked in oils for 12 years, which I liked. So blending in watercolor is a little different. Thank you for this video. It gives me something to practice with. I enjoyed it very much.

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear 😊🙏🏼 Thank you! Keep me posted on your progress!

[@gagglesc5631]

Thanks so much! This is a problem that I have encountered many times as a beginner, so this information is invaluable to me at the moment. I'm definitely going to get practicing.

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear 😊🙏🏼 Thank you!

[@tessa6307]

Wow this instruction is a game changer for me. I have been pretty dissatisfied with my technique, and your explanation of blending really makes sense. I just put this to use and I already see a huge improvement in my painting.

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear! Thank you for letting me know and keep me updated on your progress 🙏🏼😊🎨

[@Pixiewithpens]

this was really helpful, thank you! i've been struggling with getting smooth edges, particularly when i've tried to work in layers i tend to get either a sharp edge of pigment or a dry brush texture when i don't want that. this video definitely gave me tools to practice more effectively to get the look i want :)

[@LironYan]

I'm happy this helps ^_^ It's one of the most important things to "get" in watercolor. Once you do - it becomes intuitive very fast. Keep me updated on your progress!

[@HellenCW]

I just had to say THANK YOU! At last, someone who takes the time to teach something properly!

[@pesto12601]

Best watercolor teacher on the net... thx Liron!

[@LironYan]

Wow thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 I really appreciate this!

[@monpetitchouxpastry]

Very basic but just what I needed! I really appreciate you making this video! I’m a beginner with watercolor. I’ve mainly just done graphite all my life. You did a fantastic job explaining and teaching. Can’t wait to try these exercises out

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 Keep me updated on your progress 👍🏼

[@dogtraininghelp]

We've been told to stay home in Canada (Covid-19 social distancing), so I decided to buy some water colours so I had something to do. Just wanted to say that your tutorials are so helpful because they show things like how to use the brush - not just a "this is how you paint a flower". So I've been painting for just over a week. Not saying I'm that good. But improving and and proud of what things are starting to look like. Although my chicken attempt was not that great, each flower I do focusing on brush stroke, not a painting "recipe" seems to be getting better. So ...thank you. Nice videos. Good instruction. Hope you're all safe in Israel.

[@staylitepbb6110]

I have been using them my whole life, Now i am enjoying it.

[@heartchitect1960]

Thank you. After observing and attempting for so long, I think I'm finally getting the hang of it. I actually understand more than I thought I did.

[@LironYan]

Awesome, happy to hear I could help 😊🙏🏼 Thank you!

[@avatarthelaststeambender8565]

This video is wonderful and very informative about how to blend edges and control the paint!

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear 😊🙏🏼 Thank you!

[@R-O-N]

Thank you so much. I have learned more than what I've learned so far in my life. ❤

[@ngrao9739]

I am a beginner and love watercolour painting for its freshness n realistic look...I found this video super useful ,with so many good tips & illustrations ..This is certainly one of the best videos I have watched and recommend this highly to anyone who wants to perfect watercolour painting.... May I suggest to you to have videos on painting flowers in the loose painting style ,please...Thanks once again

[@helenh2782]

Thank you Liron for making this so understandable. As someone new to watercolor everything seems a little daunting. The way you showed this process makes it so much more attainable. We just need to practice practice and then practice some more. I found your explanation of the way you dried your brush in-between each application of paint a light bulb moment for me. Just those little things of how much water to use or take away is fantastic.Take care.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much for sharing ^_^ I'm really happy you found that one helpful! I'm planning on doing a follow-up video.

[@SeanTWright]

Always worth spending time to practice blending, and all the other techniques, Liron. Beautiful green, btw. Keep up the great work in sharing knowledge.

[@LironYan]

Thank you (: There was a time I would do a basic exercise before every painting session. So I would start with blending / value matching / similar things, and then start painting. I find this to be very helpful for improving AND warming up 😁🎨

[@SeanTWright]

Yes, I also practice, even today, especially outdoor painting. I also am a fan of the preliminary sketch or two of a subject, before making a final decision on which composition to paint. Keep up the great vids!

[@stephaniemorris3760]

I struggle with this too and your approach clicked with me. Please do more of this type of technique demo!

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear, I’m planning a follow-up vid too 😊🙏🏼 Thank you!

[@hemjoo]

Like this video! I’m pretty new and all this water control is fundamental. I struggled with hard lines for a while and ended up overworking it to “salvage” it (people like to say watercolouring is forgiving) so I was real frustrated. Now I realize it’s the paper quality and control of wetness of brush. Very helpful. Thanks!

[@LironYan]

Haha yes - it’s only forgiving once you know how to ask for forgiveness 😉 Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 Keep me updated on your progress, I’m sure you’ll do great!

[@TangibleTania]

I am just a beginner at watercolor painting and your video taught me something very new and it was something I just could pin down...like I knew something essential was missing and then I watch this..amazing. The camera set up and lighting is perfect. I feel as though I'm right there just watching. I know this will help me as I practice and paint this weekend. Thanks you so much for sharing your knowledge from all your own hard work. You have a new subscriber! :)

[@LironYan]

Wow, so happy to hear 😁🙏🏼 Thank you and welcome aboard!

[@millydaisy29]

Thanks for giving such a good demo on blending. I love your enthusiasm and your accent 👍

[@donnabashline4933]

You're a very good teacher. I've just begun painting with water colors. I have much to learn. I'm an art teacher of middle and high school students and aksov3rd and 4th grade children. This is very helpful to me. Thank you.

[@loriaragon2644]

This was extremely helpful! I'm new to watercolor and need instruction for the basics. Thanks, Liron, great job!

[@loriaragon2644]

The Stoned Videogame Nerd Thank you! There are a ton of videos... happy happy happy :)

[@LironYan]

Thank you 🙏🏼😊🎨

[@patricianeville464]

Great demo

[@patricianeville464]

GREAT DEMO 😊

[@philomena1539]

Love the style and content of your teaching - fast moving and yet extremely packed with information. Thank you!

[@catherineberkhan4112]

Now it all makes sense. I have struggled with blending until this video. Now I have to practice. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

[@LironYan]

I'm so happy this helps ^_^ Thank you for letting me know 🙏🏼

[@Abhinav-oy8hm]

I m a beginner after watching this i became more advanced without even trying it out well explained tnx alot bruh ❤️

[@borislavanikolova]

Absolutely useful demonstration! Thank you very much! I can hardly paint a flower yet, however your instructions are very helpful for beginners. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

[@LironYan]

Thank you! 🙏😊 No one can paint anything at first - get started & keep going 💪🎨

[@diatiwari_]

this was so so helpful and i’m really impressed with your easy to understand teaching!! everyone has been telling me to go from light to dark and while that works for most mediums, it leaves me with a lot of patches and swerves no matter how quickly i go with water colour. i’m due with two water colour assignments tomorrow and although i’ve messed one up already hopefully my second one is gonna show up better thanks to this video. loved this!! ❤️

[@LironYan]

Wishing you lots of success with it! And don't worry about some back runs, It's part of the medium's charm! 😉🎨

[@anartistpatty8912]

Wow, you are a very good instructor. Please post more video. Thank you very much.

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 😊🙏🏼 I have many more similar vids (:

[@monikaroos8338]

Please post more similar videos on techniques. So appreciated!

[@LironYan]

I planning a follow-up that will answer some additional questions (: Thank you 🙏🏼

[@diannekrogers]

Very helpful information! You can't get too basic for me - haha! Thanks again, Liron!

[@LironYan]

Haha you got it (: My pleasure!

[@sandrabrito_slv644]

Thank you very much. Not boring at all. I love it. Great success for you.

[@188mcl]

Now I know why my work comes out the way it does! Thank you for this tutorial. A must watch for beginners like me!

[@LironYan]

Thank you Maria! You can do this 😁💪

[@andreyklimov5955]

I feel that you love what you do and enjoy teaching. Great exercises, too! Thank you!

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 Very happy I can help! And yes - I LOVE what I do 😁

[@goncalorocha7211]

Best video on the matter, really ! Thank you sir and keep up the good work

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much! 😁🙏🏼

[@annewatman677]

I’ve already mentioned that I’ve been doing a course using wet in wet. The instructor provides templates, and I use them just to save time. What he’s doing is adding small puddles of water, and then he starts the painting with wet on dry and touches into the puddles. I kind of figured it out, but had a hard time following, and I think part of the problem is the amount of paint vs water, but he never really talks about that when he’s doing the demo. I end up with areas that are too wet or too dry. Meanwhile, I’m watching him blend everything together beautifully! I can’t believe he’s labeling these a “beginner” courses. We started with some very basic leaves, and only used one color. I kind of got that. Then he moved to a couple of trout, and that required 2 colors, lots of wet and dry manipulation, blending colors, etc. I managed to kind of get it, but I did not have fun!

[@LironYan]

Haha sounds complex indeed! I often do it the same way - wetting an area, then painting while touching it to get a blended transition. You can actually see the technique in this other vid I did: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGbPnYGIf9SFZpI (I already link to the relevant time in the vid) Let me know if this helps simplifying it a bit. I should probably do another example of this in the future (: This has a lot more nuances to it, you can pre-wet a certain area and use it to create a varied edge - sometimes hard and sometimes soft.

[@annewatman677]

Thank you. I’m going to watch what you’re doing, and I’d love it if you did more on this. The results really are impressive, but it IS complex! I would get parts of it, but then my paint would get too dry in some areas, and I had a hard time keeping track of everything. You are so nice to respond because I’m kind of lost right now. I want to do watercolor, and I really don’t know where to start. If I was following your beginner videos, where would you have someone start? I’ve actually done a fair amount of watercolor, but I’d happily go back to the beginning and learn more about technique.

[@helenschaefer1167]

Liron, thanks for sharing your blending and edge control methods. I will practice today, and take your advice and practice every day. Since you asked for input, I do have a suggestion, maybe you could show us how you warmed up in the past, before you painted, especially on the value control. I would really appreciate hearing you share this knowledge about your warming up exercises. Thanks.

[@lydiawebber1846]

Thank you so much for your videos! As a watercolor newbie, I appreciate everything that helps, and since I‘ve started a couple of months ago (ferociously painting), I feel like I‘ve already learned so much. Every week or so feels like a milestone. Absolutely love watercolors. Your channel is a gem!

[@donnaalston2456]

Just finding you and I’m so glad I did. Thank you for showing all of the elements, i.e. the paint, the water, the towel, what you’re doing with your brush when it isn’t on the paper. For a newbie, this is so helpful.

[@lesleymorasch1749]

Thank you!!! I am a beginner and have been accessing u-tube for a while. You are the very best!

[@LironYan]

Thank you so much 🙏😊

[@relaques666]

So basic that nobody ever tells you that! Thank you so much, it has changed Everything for me!!

[@cecileegeorgeson_artist]

What a fabulous tutorial..the universe gives you what you need when you need it...🙏Leon ....I enjoy listening to your videos and really love your painting technique

[@kipamides]

This will be very helpful for my beginning watercolor students. Thank you for sharing your talents with us, Liron!!

[@LironYan]

My pleasure 😇 Let me know how it goes!

[@sandrabrito_slv644]

Thank you very much. Not boring at all. I love it. Great success for you!

[@Pistachio2024]

It's so good. This almost a science of Watercolor painting. Did my head in a bit though; because I'm used to painting from light to dark and a technique here is from dark to light.

[@LironYan]

Thank you 🙏😊 Don't force any of these techniques. It's enough to understand them and be able to use them to very basic extent. The rest will happen while painting, based on instinct (: As for painting dark to light, this is more of shape manipulation. Perhaps looking at it this way will help you better understand it

[@euamoflash]

Thank you so much! I’m a beginner and the watching your video helped me a lot!

[@tcape72]

I'm just a few months into watercolor painting and I found your channel. I really like your style and method of teaching. I've watched several of your videos and am just now getting around to commenting. Keep it up! I'm planning to purchase your drawing course. I'm 57 and I used to draw a good bit when I was a teenager and in my early 20s, but too many dumb life decisions in my younger days slowed down my progress and I want to get back into it. Thanks again!

[@dianerademaker1896]

Thanks you Liron you have helped me understand so much that others don't explain so clearly. This and your dry washing tutorial has helped this newbie so much! I'm so happy I found you

[@StephenMarkTurner]

"Well I Love a rainy night" - the late Eddie Rabbitt. :-) Hey, I suggest watching 'Mind of Watercolor' recent video on paper. Very convincing that paper is hugely important with respect to blending and mixing.

[@LironYan]

Watched it - it’s such a great comparison video that really shows the problems of using different types of pulp paper 🎨😁 I’ve been saying for a while that you can probably skimp on brushes and even paints, but paper is really important

[@ursulastaempfli759]

The circular green example #3 is just perfect. Very instructive lesson. I am watching this 5 years onward in almost mid April and guess what, second time to ay that a shower of hail is going down. 😒

[@tjdomsalla]

I really love your videos about water color techniques. Basic or advanced. I learn so much, especially about why my own experiences did not work that good … Thank you, Liron! 😎👍🏻

[@honeytta.studio]

I just love how you talk. So positive 💪💪💪

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 So happy to hear!

[@KathleenRenninger]

Love this to-the-point, professional , video! I've done several watercolors but never actually got this technique down. Thank you! I'm subscribing!

[@LironYan]

Thank you, happy to have you onboard! ^_^

[@lynngarside8249]

I'm glad that I watched clear to the end. I think I've mastered wet on wet after years of doing it that way... but this really taught me the difference of blending using wet on dry, and I found it VERY helpful. I've been enjoying all your videos. Thank you.

[@adiecain]

What a great lesson! This was such a revelation for me thank you.. subbed

[@LironYan]

Thank you ^_^ So happy to have you here!

[@MsPbUTUBE]

I thought you did a great job. Wish I had seen this earlier. It's very important to learn about water to pigment ratio. Thanks.

[@LironYan]

Thank you, I’m happy this helps 😊🙏🏼

[@tracymac9058]

So clear and such easy instruction! You simplify EVERYTHING! Thank you so much!!!

[@LironYan]

Thank you 😊🙏🏼 So happy you found this useful!

[@saiph9416]

You speak so fast but so clearly omg!!! Thank you so much for the video, this'd be a great exercise to try on watercolor papers that you haven't used before. I'll be sure to do it next time I paint c:

[@LironYan]

Haha thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@ligadaiga1497]

Very good demo, showing differences of correct and not so correct approaches!

[@LironYan]

My pleasure 😇 Thank you 🙏🏼

[@mariamahmed5124]

I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR FINDING THIS CHANNEL

[@LironYan]

😊😊🙏🏼🙏🏼 So happy you found it!

[@doloresneilson5349]

Excellent tutorial for this beginner! Wow...simple, great demonstrations and the best way is not even more difficult than the lesser techniques. Thank you!

[@LironYan]

My pleasure 😊🙏🏼 And yes - once you get used to it it’s not harder nor easier.

[@viola1549]

Thanks for the crystal clear illustration. Really helpful for novice indeed !

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear this ^_^ Thank you so much!

[@paulettelane6428]

Always need a reminder of the basics. Would love to see a follow up especially blending different colours together.

[@LironYan]

Will do! (: Thank you 🙏🏼

SO helpful! Thanks. I am glad you provide some close up to see the way the water and pigment move.

[@LironYan]

Happy to help ^_^

[@geraldinecrowley9172]

Brilliant Tutorial Thank you for the explanations as I am a beginner watercolourist & really appreciate this

[@LironYan]

I’m happy this helps, thank you 😊🙏🏼

[@monicaweltmann2111]

I listened, watched you carefully and I learned. Thanks!

[@LironYan]

So happy to hear 🙏🏼😊

[@marikareimer4411]

I really liked how you described the process for blending, You showed me what I was doing wrong (and couldn't figure it out myself) Now I know how to practice properly. Thank you for making this very informative video. IMHO Please don't apologize for talking about basic techniques, there are many people just learning to paint and find these tips extremely helpful. Thank you again. Have a wonderful day :)

[@valeriecarpenter3963]

Very well demonstrated. I'm a newbie and have used wet in wet predominantly. I will be changing that now. Tx!

[@CoryTompkinsTWD]

Thank you for making this lesson very clear and showing the right and wrong way to do it. I wasn’t wiping off my brush so the paint was spilling out too much. I will try it again to see the difference.
