[@suel4269]

I’m in love with dry brush technique. Can it damage expensive brushes?

[@WendyPowellJones]

No....the thing that damages brushes is scrubbing them into dried up paint or pan colours. Sometimes it’s best to mix with an older brush then switch to your best brush.

[@dixiedrost4783]

I'm having a go at this but my flower shapes are quite wonky. How di you apply the masking fluid to make them resemble flowers?

[@WendyPowellJones]

I did not make any particular shape.....look closely and you will see that. We are just looking for the suggestion of flower shapes . Perhaps yours are too big ? Wonky isn’t always bad 😀

[@dixiedrost4783]

@@WendyPowellJones Thanks for your reply! I think my masking fluid may be the problem? It was difficult to handle and made little bubbles.

[@WendyPowellJones]

Sounds like you need new....try pebeo...there is a link in my most recent videos if you can’t find it. It works really well and it is a light grey that you can see when you put it o n but it is not too distracting.

[@mainan8342]

Beautiful!! Thank you! I'd like to see the flowers in a close up!! Is it possible?? I don't really see where the petals go. Thanks!! (I'm a beginner)🥰🖌️Mains from Spain

Wendy, Thank you for the tutorial. I found it's very helpful. What kind of paper did you use? Is it 100% cotton?

[@dmseeney]

What type of brush and size is it?

[@kathygilliland2873]

is there a reason why when i put the grasses in the yellow blue boundary seems to catch and concentrate the green in a blob? did i not let it dry enough? it has happened several times.

[@WendyPowellJones]

It sounds like the background was not dry as you say....sure you have but watch that part again. Get back if you still have problems.

[@kathygilliland2873]

Thanks! I think i may have had some gouche on my brush by mistake. I suppose that could be it?

[@smsigned]

Beautiful...! May i know what material used for masking the flowers?

[@WendyPowellJones]

Thank you...it was Windsor and Newton masking/friskit fluid .Other brands are available 😀

[@sherrylee6719]

Hi, I looked at your ebay site and your work is lovely. There is a color or color mixture that I am trying to create/replicate. In your painting, "Summer Foliage 2," I'm wondering if you can share the color of the pale yellow in the sky? I would appreciate your help.

[@WendyPowellJones]

Hi....I can’t remember exactly but it will have been a cool yellow....cadmium yellow pale or lemon yellow 🙂

[@vicmurai1033]

Wendy, on your preliminary sketch of flowers they appear to be white spots. Are you using a "mask" so that the green paint will be repelled? You don't explain why the green paint is being repelled by the white spots for flowers. ????

[@WendyPowellJones]

Yes they are masked
