Sue Gait ; How to use different brushes and their names

[@monganrallis]

Sue - you are the BEST teacher I have come across on KZbin hands down! Thank you for the time and effort you have put into teaching others how to paint!! I am so excited that I found you on here! :-)

[@suegaitartist7166]

You are most welcome

[@suegaitartist7166]

It's close to Christmas and I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all your comments. It was a pleasure to make this video for you all. I remember how it was when I started to paint and looked at all the brushes and thought Oh My. May the new New bring you Joy, Peace and Good Health and keep on painting.

[@gonzo8657]

Sue, thank you for the time you’ve spent making these videos for people wanting to learn. I’ve spent a good bit of time struggling to make some simple shapes and you’ve helped exponentially in my painting journey

[@suegaitartist7166]

You are most welcome

I’m pushing 68 yrs, and just started braving the painting world. I am SO inspired watching this video. Thank you!

[@patriciashoemaker8875]

Sue, you had explained way much better on how to do strokes than anyone else I’ve seen. Thank you!!!!

[@nicholievans4703]

I have just starting painting at 74. I have watched three other videos this afternoon and found yours the most helpful. I like that you admit when something is not to your liking, showing how to fix it and tell us not to worry. I hope the person who wrote the negative comment has learned not to sweat the little things after the last year and a half we have had. It is so important to BE KIND. Our country needs to heal. Thank you.

Sue, I have watched literally hundreds of videos on how to paint for beginners, how to brush, stroke, how to paint roses, wildflowers, buildings, etc., but not a single one comes close to being as careful and as detailed as you are in this video teaching about the kinds of brushes and how to use each one. You are unquestionably the best instructor I have seen on this issue. Furthermore , I like everything about your approach: Closeup so that we can actually see how you load your brush, how you hold, move, and direct your brush. There is no waste of time, no self-adulation. I will be looking for other videos by you regardless of the claims of others about their talents. No good to me in my efforts to learn unless their teaching is effective. Your instructions are superior. Thank you.

[@suegaitartist7166]

Wow such kind words thank you

[@ZYosef-sd7wu]

You are a great teacher. I am a beginner in acrylic painting (many years I used to paint watercolor, but I was a novice). After 35 years of teaching at a University, now I want to try on acrylic as my retirement activity. I like your video, since it gives me the basics about painting and the use of brush and color. I have seen many tutorials on KZbin,. Your tutorial teachs me the fundamentals. I live in Boston, wish I was close to where you live in Canada, so that I take a face to face tutorial. Thank you.

[@suegaitartist7166]

To everyone that has watched. DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND LOVE WHAT YOU DO. Keep painting everyone things improve over time, you'll see

[@suegaitartist7166]

Someone came on my video of fabric painting and called me a fraud. I am not a fraud. I am just showing you things I know. I have NEVER claimed I am better than the people who are very qualified at their art. I just thought I'd share what I knew.

Sue I’m just beginning to paint so I hope you definitely do more videos. Unfortunately, there are mean people in this world that like to be hurtful but do not let them stop you from doing what you enjoy doing. Trust me I’m definitely appreciating all of your teachings it is so helpful

[@kaurkaligrafi]

When someone is jealoused or can't do things what others are doing they definetly find simple definition like fraud n fake .. This video is very informative , i bought new speciality brushes and ur video is v helpful

Jealousy makes people say stupid unthought things. I thank you for your tutorials. I am a beginner and I appreciate all the videos available on KZbin for guidance. The way you do thoroughly demonstrate your techniques has been beyond helpful. Thank you.

I just started painting at 48 and so far have been "winging it" lol I had no idea you could load 2 colors on 1 brush at all! Thank you

[@jillagnew9387]

I really loved this video. Learning about the different brushes was exactly what I was looking for, however, learning how to LOAD the brushes properly was an even BIGGER help! I had no problem hearing your video. It was great. Thank you!!

[@suegaitartist7166]

You are most welcome. It can be very overwhelming when you see all the different brushes and think "Now what do I pick"

[@jillianagnew3799]

Agreed. After looking at my notes, I’m going to start with a new flat brush, an angled brush, a round brush and a Foliage brush. I have these already but they are poor quality and didn’t use them properly so they aren’t in the best shape anymore. Really looking forward to trying them out! Thanks again!!

I painted on the wrap-around skirts that were popular in the 1980s. this would have saved me a lot of frustration and grief.

I have just found you and by the time you got to the foliage brush I was sold…. You’re working with Acrylic which I have but I have not tried it yet… Can you tell does all this with the brushes work with watercolours as this is my preference as I am a complete beginner to ART …. Thanks so much for sharing Debbie ❤

[@suegaitartist7166]

To be very honest I don't know the answer to your question, as I have never used water colours. My guess would be yes and I have never seen brushes just for water colours. I know there are brushes for oil paint and then acrylic paint. I don't know if I helped.

[@badsworthcats]

@@suegaitartist7166 there are specific brushes for watercolour and this morning after I watched you I went a searching and I think I can get them all in the brand Princeton which is along with silver black velvet my go to brush… but your watercolour brushes can be used with designer Gouache, but they do recommend different brushes for acrylics… The only brush I could not find was the one similar to a fan brush that is more open… I love roses 🌹 my mother grew them and peonies when I was young. I have tried and tried and failed to paint them, but maybe now I can actually succeed with some practice.

[@mduong331]

Thanks for sharing! By the way , just one question. Can I do acrylic panting on any paper or must be on canvas.
