Not too shabby. Nice snappy music too.

[@vivianlentz6971]

That is wonderful! It is wild to watch your subtle control while at the same time you so completely let watercolor do its thing!

[@lenagemze662]

I guess the secret is, to let the water and the colours do most of the work - but still you must be the captain!

[@vivianlentz6971]

Aye, aye!

[@jennyhughes4474]

Very beautiful, you are very talented, thank you for showing us this - I haven't got tubes of watercolour and anyway I could never do it like you do!

[@sand3882]

Hi, Jenny. May I suggest 3 things? Go buy 3 or 4 tube watercolors, remove the word "never" from your comment, and try. I believe where there is such appreciation, there is ability. Have fun. If a child said she couldn't do something, you would probably suggest she try first, right? 💖

[@lenagemze662]

Dear Jenny. I can not give you a better answer than San did yesterday. Go ahead - have fun!

[@jennyhughes4474]

The paper I use here is Arches cold pressed 300g, but sometimes I use cheap paper made of cellulose. You can always read right under the video, which kind of paper and colours I use.

Thank you Lisa!

[@louisemataia]

Hi Lena I love your work and I tried out some of the techniques I see.you do. I use Bockingford watercolor paper 300gsm. I do have a couple of questions for you please. Do you have to enhance the colors after they dried? Mine dried very faded. Why? Is it the colours I'm using?

[@lenagemze662]

Dear Louise. If the colours fade it is either because you don't use enough paint or because of a bad quality. The cheeper the paint is the longer there is between the pigments.

[@annilottemorand7476]

[@janeschafer9931]

What is clay coated paper. What kind of paper are you using. This is new to me.

[@lenagemze662]

Yes - it is not made for watercolour. I had a lot of work myself to find it, because it has to be acidfree. Some people write to me, that they will try Yupo, which I guess is some kind of plastic. But I use cardboard a little bit shining. Ask the store if they can deliver it acid free.

[@janeschafer9931]

@@lenagemze662 thank you for your reply. I am mesmerized by your work. You mentioned in one reply to try cardboard. Do you mean like poster board? Should it have some absorbency. I will continue to follow you and hope you can shed some light on this. You are so kind to share your beautiful paintings.

[@lenagemze662]

@@janeschafer9931 Dear Jane. In the video above, I am using cheap watercolour paper 300 g. In other videos I sometime use cardboard and maybe it is the same as poster board. It does not absorb very good - thats why the colours run so fast. After I paint on cardboard I use a spray fixing for watercolour paintings. Does this answer help you?

[@sand3882]

@@lenagemze662, Yupo paper is a very high quality paper. Beautiful to work with.

[@lenagemze662]

@@sand3882 Thank you! I shall try it some day. But still it is made of plastic - I think it is polypropylen! But I know that many artists like it and use it!

[@gerriekaychurch658]

Beautiful Lena. Would heavy hot press work well? Also if one does get buckles how best to remove? Thanks so much for showing your talents🤗

[@lenagemze662]

The paper is normal watercolour paper 300 g. If it buckles, I turn it upside down, put water on it with a big flat paintbrush, and after 5 minutes I tape it all around and let it dry. Then it is straight again.

[@powerloverespectthanks2522]

[@susanhamilton1822]

Love your technique. Hate the music. Would much prefer to hear the artist talking even if it's just babble. I always turn the sound way down. Watercolour is my favorite medium. It's magical.

[@lenagemze662]

Thank you! Guess it's good without sound. And: Yes! Watercolour is magical!!! And we are only a little more than 5 million Danes, so I am not talking on my videos.

[@juliebombay]

I love the music, why would you try to get the artist to change just for you??

[@susanhamilton1822]

Lena can do what ever she pleases. It is also alright to express an opinion. People learn from hearing what an artist has to say as she/he is working.
