Thank you Chantal - I really love hearing from you!

[@aliciashackley5830]

Rachel just wanted to tell you that I think you are a very lovely young woman. So proud of you for telling us about another artist on KZbin. Still watching your bunny tutorial and all the others. Lol. But just had to thx you for being so charitable. Good on you. 🥰

[@rachelsstudiodotcom]

That is so kind of you to say Alicia. It's funny, I was looking at the goals I wrote down for 2020 and one was to help an artist go full time. I didn't do that - the Universe didn't present anyone. But in January 2021 I found Agnes of Bodorka, and I hope to continue to help her. She sure has helped me so much with all her suggestions.

[@Bearwithme560]

I agree.

[@lynnemartin2291]

Wonderful. I want to hug your bunny now. 🤩🤩🤩🤗🤗

[@SpinesAndSplines]

Arches is pronounced like “arshhh”. You soften the ‘ch’ to ‘shhh’, and the ‘s’ at the end is silent.

[@traekas7228]

Really? I thought it was pronounced “Are-shays”. Somehow, “arshhh” seems quite incomplete to me…✌️🧓🏻🤷🏻.

[@SpinesAndSplines]

@@traekas7228 Yep, really! It's a French brand and there's no accent on the 'e'.

[@ZeeCeeCreations]

Thanks Rachel! Loved this soft bunny....very helpful tips... Friends “across the pond” pronounce Arches ‘Arsh’...no s sound on the end and no hard ch sound. Most Americans, though, say it like the arch over a doorway. You would probably like Stonehenge 100% cotton cold pressed paper, in either 140lb or 300lb. It’s great paper. Arches is still my very favorite, but Stonehenge is a bit less expensive. Thanks again for the beautiful bunny!

[@rachelsstudiodotcom]

Thank you for the info about Stonehenge. Happy Painting : )

[@Bearwithme560]

I can't wait to try this, and try, and try again. I was confused by the soft black diagonal stripes that appeared out of nowhere towards the end, which l don't see on the finished painting. I'm guessing they were shadows, but they looked interesting.

[@rachelsstudiodotcom]

yes maybe they were shadows??

[@bixnash1]

Great video. So much information all packed in a neat, easy to understand package. Judy Breedlove. My name didn't show on the comments today....hummm.

[@rachelsstudiodotcom]

I'm so glad you liked the video. Thank you for always being so supportive and kind Judy!

[@LanaGoesArt]

That is a fun technique, I love it how the paint spreads out. Have you tried it with other colours by chance? When it comes to the paper, I couldn't find the one you suggested, so it will be Arches to try the technique for myself. Thanks for the great video! :)

[@rachelsstudiodotcom]

Arches Cold Press is a great paper for this and Daniel Smith Lamp Black is my favorite lamp black

[@LanaGoesArt]

@@rachelsstudiodotcom Thanks! I'll try the technique, but I don't have the DS version, will try another lamp black first before buying a new tube. ;) I think there might be something in the collection, that works similarly.

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Hahaha, now she has 41 subscribers! Thanks to you! I definitely subbed her channel and I LOVE your channel. Good recommendation!

[@rachelsstudiodotcom]

Woohoo!

Now she has 60. Hopefully she will grow as this video grows. I bet during Easter it will get even more views : )

@@rachelsstudiodotcom that's great! Hopefully she keeps putting videos out.

The painting looked very wavy while you were painting. Did it flatten when dry? Thanks!

[@rachelsstudiodotcom]

Yes, it flattens out pretty well

[@renemorales3238]

Hello! I'm asking several of the watercolor artists I follow on KZbin this question: What do you do with your learning attempts? By this I mean all the early-on, new to watercolor paintings that look terrible and are all wrong. What is a new student supposed to do with her practice pieces?

[@rachelsstudiodotcom]

A lot of people cut them up and use them in collage!

Is it possible to buy it in Europe.? .

The lamp black?

[@junek8574]

Tried to do your rabbit. I need a lot more practice doing watercolor. This is not for a beginner. It was a total disaster 😪. I will try easier stuff. Thanks for the lesson though. Someday maybe I'll try it again.

[@rachelsstudiodotcom]

I've been working on a wet on wet black cat and have painted it 8 times last week and am still not happy with the outcome. Sometimes you just have to put the miles on the brush to get where you want to go!

It is expensive because of the shipping unfortunately. Thank you for posting Bodorkas channel!

Arches is French and it's pronounced ARsh, not arSHAY. There is no accent egu (é)

[@rachelsstudiodotcom]

Yes I have had to practice lol

You made it look so easy...sigh...
