Excellent tutorial. Thank you

[@user-bt4uu9gc6h]

Glad it was helpful!

[@judybreedlove5348]

Great video. You make it look so easy. This Tuxedo kitty is wonderful. Yes, get out your iron to flatten that painting....it doesn't hurt the art at all. I've been doing it for years. I lay the painting face down on a flat surface, place a cotton towel over it and I use steam. The setting is cotton. Let it cool before you handle it. Presto!....It will be wrinkle free.

[@user-bt4uu9gc6h]

It makes sense this works, since the paper is made out of cotton after all!

[@Soungiimoya]

thank you for your tutorial

[@user-bt4uu9gc6h]

My pleasure!

[@suel4269]

Great tutorial!

[@user-bt4uu9gc6h]

I appreciate it!

[@24Sappy]

Great tutorial! I like to iron my paintings afterward too! It’s the only time the iron gets used 😂

[@user-bt4uu9gc6h]

Heehee

[@wendyeaster3540]

Great tutorial, now I have to figure out how to do it with my wc pencils. Your commentary is perfect, so easy to understand exactly what you are doing and why. I iron my paintings too 😊 I put them in a folded cotton napkin and don’t use the iron too hot.

[@user-bt4uu9gc6h]

I'm so glad you enjoyed this! I've never ironed before - I always figure the framer can do that, but it's a good skill to have!

[@leanncunningham7167]

You make this look so easy😩😩😩

[@user-bt4uu9gc6h]

After 20 years of A LOT of practice it does get easier!

[@hazeljohnson4951]

Thank you

[@user-bt4uu9gc6h]

You're welcome!

[@geniepreece2216]

Great video! Where did you get your whisk brush from ? Have never seen this before ! TIA

[@user-bt4uu9gc6h]

They sell sets of them on Amazon, search for wisp or rake brush set

[@yvonnefalduti5221]

Curious how the whiskers look white? I know W you used blue color.

[@user-bt4uu9gc6h]

That blue on the whiskers is the color of my masking. When I remove it the whiskers will be white.

[@kathleenjackson9293]

Rachel, I tried to join your Patreon and find this tutorial but I can't seem to find it. Has it been removed?

[@user-bt4uu9gc6h]
