THE PAINT IS THE PAPER??! Testing Viviva Colorsheets 3 WAYS

[@thewonderforest]

Who noticed the new intro!? ;D

[@raggedyroad]

Yes, it's cute!

[@farshadkadijn2026]

I did '^' ☆.☆

[@momgib2000]

Definitely paint brush over a water Brush! And you’re intro is great, love how the paintbrush adds color ;)!

[@dianeo]

I prefer paint brushes over water brushes because you have more control and precision, but I love the convenience of water brushes, especially when I don't have a water dish nearby or just feeling lazy!

[@bettyroberts2068]

I loved this demo. I also loved how the wild flowers turned out and the fawn because of the bright colors. Maybe with your comments, they will come out with more colors. I think I’ll try it mainly because of the compact convenience of it for travel. I love the idea. I wonder how they come together with other actual water color paints if you needed a certain color to add to the painting? Loved the intro and your video as always and your honest comments.

[@bettyroberts2068]

Their very proud of those little notebooks and color sheets. Very pricey but I may order anyway, just saying🤔

[@neyruzAJ]

Long time back when I was still in collage I remember had color sheets coming from China, but this is the first time I see this brand. Thank you for sharing.

[@Eibmozluver]

I am so new to watercolor, but I definitely like watercolor brushes instead of water brushes. I feel like I have no control with a water brush. I really don't see myself wanting these paints at all. I'm messy enough. 😂 I just loved your little fawn. It wasn't messy at all. It was cute. 😉

[@thewonderforest]

Eibmozluver haha thank you! Glad you liked it!

[@mumblyburg940]

I started out using water brushes because they were less intimidating than picking a brush from all the different ones available. As I progressed, I switched to brushes because of having more control over how much water I used. I still use water brushes on occasion especially for taking with me. No mess. Thanks for an informative video.

[@foxiecolor2415]

Bonjour, c'est super ça :) est ce que tu a utilisé longtemps avant que ça ne soit épuisé ?

[@MichelleBracewellArt]

I prefer the brushes. I have a little watercolor travel kit that has a water brush and I'm with you on that! - Michelle

[@karenrusso2948]

I prefer the traditional brushes. 😄 I love all the size choices that you don’t find in water brushes. Also the water control is much better with traditional brushes - at least for me. Thanks for the pigment paper demo!

[@gouthamimattapati4725]

I really liked the way u r flawless with the water brush....... the most i like in your videos are the way u explain neatly about the colors or about the products u use..!!! and i have not used any water brush till date but i gonna try that after seeing your video.. i really want to try... am not a water color person but ur video makes me fall for them...!!! thanks a lot for explaining in simple ways..!! loads of love from India..........

[@thewonderforest]

Gouthami Mattapati thanks so much, that means a lot and I’m so happy that you enjoy my videos 🤗

[@jennarodriguez3562]

I use Peerless watercolors and enjoy them. I enjoy using paint brushes with watercolors squeezed fresh from the tube and my water brushes with pan watercolors

[@BurgessTaylor]

I haven't tried the watercolor inks yet, but I do prefer a mixture of brights and neutrals. And I definitely prefer a brush to a waterbrush.

[@XXIheart14]

I prefer paint brushes so much more! I only have one brush pen and i never use it. I'm always so scared to squirt out too much water! This book looks like so much fun! I totally agree with the neutral tone thing :)

[@jad3tte]

Hello Dana! I prefer regular paint brushes. I find that the water brushes' bristles become kind of weird after a few uses. Unless of course the amateur me didn't use it properly.

[@suzannebakker6070]

Brushes have my preference, I find it easier to control them than a water brush :)

[@FutileGrief]

#emailcrew wohoo! I've always been skeptical about this watercolours. Glad to see how they work in real life!

[@fiddlesissy]

I have more water-brushes than I can count....well for that matter I can say the same re: paint brushes. My preferences is paint brushes....mainly because of quality as well as control. I plan to play more with water-brushes for lettering as I think I might find them easier for that...

[@rnee1000]

Thank you for the video. I wondered about these paints and now I see I probably wouldn't like them. I prefer paint brushes to water brushes as they give me more control.

[@naureenzulfiquar9927]

Paintbrushes all the way! I just feel like I have more control over my art...and boy oh boy, I NEED control over my art!

[@audrisander7380]

I enjoy paintbrushes way more than water brushes. I feel like you have a lot more control with normal paintbrushes.

[@katewilliams9959]

Definitely paint brushes over water brushes. This review was helpful, thanks.

[@bluecurlygirl]

They're absolutely fabulous Dana. I wonder though if they're worth the money. It's quite expensive for only a few sheets but I find that with watercolor paper anyway. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the video though. #emailcrew

[@lyndalseaton9777]

I've now bought better quality brushes, so I now prefer brushes over waterbrushes, however the convenience whilst travelling not to have worry about a water vessel.. i have wondered if it was worth buying these watercolours

[@jenniferlynch4420]

I prefer paint brushes over water brushes most of the time, however sometimes I just want to paint without thinking too much just to relieve stress or something, and water brushes are great for that I've noticed.

[@glendacox6540]

I use both. Not really a preference , just depends on what the piece needs to achieve the look I’m working toward.

[@shawnariley3518]

Paint brush all the way I like having more control and choosing the stiffness and shape of my brush... plus I find the water brush just doesn’t allow my colors to shine at full strength cause the water dilutes it a bit no matter what. Plien air is all I’d use a water brush for truthfully or I have some with ink in them.

[@amayane]

First! Also Peerless did these types of watercolour first over a hundred years ago I think.

[@amandachou]

Yup, way more colors, but Vivia does an excellent job on packaging.

[@thewonderforest]

Haven’t heard of them! Thanks :)

[@raggedyroad]

Dana Fox, just wondering how we will know if we win a copy of your book?

[@thewonderforest]

Kim Henderson hi! I leave a reply to any winning comments and get the winners contact details. Once I have that I delete it to keep their info private and prevent random people from claiming it. I pick 2 winners each month so as long as you’re commenting on the prompts you’re always entered :). Hope that helps!

[@raggedyroad]

@@thewonderforest Good to know. I just hadn't seen any announcements on any of the other videos so I was wondering. I just ordered your book and will be pre ordering your up coming book. Thanks for the willingness to share your process. I would still be happy to win your book though. I have a niece just starting to watercolor that could benefit from it.

[@jengoodwyn2715]

I Thought initially that I would love a water brush, but it turned out I couldn't stand them!! For the same reason- can't control the water.

[@mirandawatson3188]

I definitely prefer paint brushes. When I AM forced to use a water brush, I usually have a jar of water to dip it in just like a regular brush. Or I use my hand to control the amount of water on it. It's way more annoying than a regular paint brush!

[@sneakysneakyrat]

#emailcrew Your animated intro is sooo cute!! :3 I like water brushes for lazier paint activities like hand lettering or doodles. For more detailed / layered illustrations, definitely paint brushes.

[@nanwool]

I also prefer paint brushes over water 💧 brushes. It is much harder to control the water 💧 output on the water brushes

[@jaclynalonzo571]

I'm a paint brush gal!

[@kimnorwood-young4870]

Definitely paint brushes!

[@dianeo]

I like the vibrancy and portability of my Viviva sheets, but I also wish there was a better brown color included. Too many oranges and yellows that seem redundant. #emailcrew

[@thewonderforest]

I think if they offered a range of palettes it would be great!

[@sarasmith9177]

#emailcrew Pretty Cool. I remember books like this when I was little.

[@farshadkadijn2026]

I would like paint brushes because when use them for me I don't feel the control of what l,m colouring probally just for me ▪︎^▪︎>¤< don't judge._.

[@elizabethbellit8676]

I really struggle with the water brushes -- got a travel set of Silver brushes and love them. Not as convenient, but easier to use. #emailcrew

[@lauradavis1534]

Too cool!!! #emailcrew

[@soniaromero8473]

You really have an ability to paint and the paint looks amazing. #emailcrew Sonia

[@sophielegay4104]

I liked the idea of water brushes, it seemed convenient, but I can't use them, even for swatches I have ugly strokes. Yes they are cheap, No they are not worth the price !

[@raggedyroad]

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

I jumped on the Viviva bandwagon early last year and I’m sorry to say that I hated them. I still hate them ☹️. They just don’t work for the way I like to paint, wet washes followed by lots of glazes. Oh well. Everyone has their preferences. As for water brushes, I don’t care for them either, but I learned to paint with regular brushes and I think that maybe why.

[@lindacsmith13]

I hate those stupid water-filled freaking brushes. Hope you are well, enjoyed your video.
