[@ArtbySusanKing]

Very awesome painting! Can I ask what thickness of paper you use? and why you only tape one side, I've always taped all side. Is it needed? Thanks

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you! In this video I use cheap viscose paper but never less than 300g. I think that the tape makes a lot of troubles, and it doesn't make the water run away.

Your watercolour creative offers a wonderful since of freedom. Inspirational. I have just started a watercolour YT channel, ever evolving. Started painting watercolours in the rain.

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you. There is much more freedom in painting in the rain, but sure it's a very big challenge too!

[@susanstemmet6078]

First time I have a you tube video of your work. Absolutely loved that. I only started playing with watercolours two days ago and am not an artist so will have to try something like this on a very small scale and do many hours of practice. Your work is amazing. Have subscribed to your channel and hope to see many more videos.

[@lenagemze662]

[@jamesmccleese2263]

Usually during art tutorials, actually being able to see the painting is helpful. Especially at the beginning, middle, and end. Though you looked very proud, as you should be, I had no idea what I was looking at.

[@lenagemze662]

Now I have looked through the film, and I see all the process. Then I don't understand what you mean!

[@SuzetteG316]

Fantastic! Would love to know the paper you use and if you do anything special to prepare it. :)

[@lenagemze662]

Sorry for my late reply, but: The paper is Arches rough grain. And I just go straight on the paper - the only preparation is the water, that you see.

[@julieroles5281]

Please may I ask how you manage to stop the paper bubbling as it dries.

[@lenagemze662]

I never use paper less than 300 gr. If it bubbles when dry, I put water on the backside and wait 5 minutes. Then I tape it to background and let it dry.

[@tsyhung]

Thanks for sharing. I have tried it, and it's fun. Hope I can show my work to you, teacher. Just one suggestion: if you can mention what colors you'd used would be even better.

[@lenagemze662]

In this video: Winsor & Newton: Antwerp Blue, Yellow Ochre, Ivory Black. Have more fun!!!

Thank you! In this video I use watercolour paper from Daler & Rowney 300g Grana Fine cold pressed cellulose.

[@harrietblank6812]

I am sooooo impressed. This demo is giving me an appetite for watercolor again. Thank you. What brand of watercolor do you use?

[@lenagemze662]

Then get started before you lose your appetite again!!! Mostly I use Windsor&Newton but also Lucas.

[@Bearwithme560]

This made me so nostalgic: my much loved father was from Denmark, your house looks Danish, you look Danish (we share the same hair colour and style!), and your ethereal misty scenes are so evocative of the sea that it hurts to miss it. I'm trying to discover my "style", and stumbled across this technique which takes away my tendency to be over-controlled and detailed, and just enjoy the flow of colour. Since l can't afford to practice on large sheets, is something like this do-able in a 5" × 7" mode? Thanks so much. I can almost hear your Danish accent in your responses. :)

[@lenagemze662]

Dear friend. In fact you can use any kind of paper. I often use carton which is much cheaper than water colour paper. I also use stone paper - again much cheaper. Just go ahead!! Make experiments and good luck! Held og lykke!!

This is beautiful Lena. May I ask, what you do to flatten the paper before you frame/sell it. Also, your name reminds me of an old Billy Joel song...All For Lena 😊

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you! If the paper is not flat, I turn it upside down and put water all over the backside. When it has sucked the water and there are no more blank places, I fix it all around wit tape and let it dry. Then I cut it free and voila!!! the paper is straight!

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you! You can use any brushes - sometimes I use one that costs less than 1€. The paper is cotton, but you can use any paper as long as it is acidfree. If the paper is harder or shining, the water runs faster and it becomes more difficult, but still possible. Have fun!
