I could watch you paint all day, love your choice of colours. Gorgeous finished painting. Thanks

[@JemBowdenWatercolour]

Thank you very much Doris! Just catching up on this after returning home from the event. I was nervous and my hand was literally shaking, so it was tricky!

Excellent! I’m adding IR to my palette. Masterful sky and painted so confidently.

[@JemBowdenWatercolour]

Thanks, Reed. Well, it might look confident! Be warned that Indian Red (mine is by W&Newton, by the way) is pretty opaque.

A very enjoyable demo, great to see the magic unfold!

wAtching from Mexico ... incredible work from the organizers and artisits alike ... I should have been there but forces were against me and I had to cancel ... I am so sad

Why do you use such cheap paper?

[@JemBowdenWatercolour]

Quite tricky to explain. Its absorbancy and lack of exterior sizing - in many ways a disadvantage - is very different to cotton papers. My method has developed alongside the paper. If I paint on cotton now I get unwanted dry-brush effect everywhere, now I'm used to moving the brush very fast, doing things in one or two washes max, with almost no overpainting/glazing.
