[@lanalawson4234]

I love this. It’s different in a wonderful way. I think it’s very cool how you painted loose and then used the fine liner to define it a bit. Can’t wait to try it!

That’s great. Thank you. Do let me know how you get on with it x

[@vikkigherzi9933]

Truly love the loose look of line and wash, or wash and line as the case may be! Keep up with the loose style; especially since your enthusiasm for the freedom of it really comes out in your voice!

[@helencampbell]

Thank you so much - I was a little worried about doing this one, loose painting is most certainly not my thing but I do enjoy it x

[@Angie-pl3uw]

Thank you. I love your painting. I think this style requires a lot of imagination!! It’s beautiful.

[@helencampbell]

Thank you Angie - this is really outside my comfort zone but I did enjoy it - proving, if you don't try you won't know x

An interesting style and image. I love the colours and shapes that you have created. I don’t think I can be that loose in my painting, but I’ll definitely give this one a go. Thank you for another interesting tutorial. - Dawn 🌅

Gorgeous Rae, thank you 🙏 - love this one! Blue is a huge favourite of mine to paint with! Is this a Plumbago do you know Rae? They grow here in SA and are such delicate beauties. Line & wash reminds me of that lovely Foxglove you did which I thoroughly loved painting! I'm SO hoping I can treat myself to Deep Deep Light Paints soon - adore all their colours! xx🤗💙💖

[@helencampbell]

Thank you very much. This is such an easy and fun project and those paint are just swwooooon x

[@jackieloves9120]

Hi, is there a set of watercolour paints you would recommend for a beginner in botanical art. I just come across your videos and I’m so glad I did because this is exactly what I want to painting I’m 60 and just starting out on this journey. Thanks

[@helencampbell]

Hi. Thank you very much. Oh there are so many that I love and so what I’d say is it really depends on your budget. Try to buy artist quality though even if it’s just a few primary colours.

[@WolfmanWoody]

What is causing the granulation in those paints? Most dyes usually won't do it on their own so do they add pumice, talcum, or mica, some heavy mineral to create it?
