Hey Marg! How are you doing? I see you found one of my older workshops

Hi Jane you're welcome, thought I'd just turn on the camera since I was doing some sketching practice :) must be cold ? Summer over here 😅

That's a good idea. I did that on my larger schmincke set. But it's ridiculously messy now as if you close the tin before dried, it runs everywhere.

I'd choose two of each primary colour (yellow, red and blue) - a warm and cool version of each. Then a green, brown and neutral tint.

You can get by with 5 colours really. 3 primaries, brown and neutral tint

@@WatercolourMentor I am a beginner and your channel is super helpful. If I to choose 3 primaries, should they be warm or cool? Also, what is neutral tint, please? Sorry, I'm a new kid in watercolour block 😊😁

Hi Angie :) yeah just making some shorter art supply videos that I'm sketching with today.

I memorise the location of each one, and also put the warm colours on the top row, cool colours on bottom row. In terms of drying, no need to worry as they are designed to rewet easily.

Hi Joyce, yes they are. I'm running a Halloween special at the moment so you can get the program for $247: watercolourmentor.thinkific.com

It's 300gsm and medium/cold press paper :)

Thank you 😊

Awesome, yes it looks beautiful...

Hmm not sure mate, I haven't used them. But check if they are using squirrel hair, that's the most important thing.

Cheers, great to hear Jeff!

Hi Monika, yes I thought it might have been you to asked haha. Post your painting in our group later if you get a chance :) yeah let's see how we go. I need to find a place to host them first. -Darren

Yes you said so.👍 I hope you find a suitable venue for regular classes. Maybe even Plein air events. Weather is getting better now. Finally spring is coming. BTW I live in Bayside area near the beach. 😊👍

Hi Joyce, I'll try some others that are simpler and steam them in some shorter workshops. There's tracing stencils for these on Patreon too that might help :)

thanks Maya :)

Hi Diane :) Nice meeting you and I'm glad you found my workshop helpful. There's some previous ones you might want to check out too.

Luna Park is on my list! Have done Flinders a couple times already. Thanks Monika :)

@@WatercolourMentor Hi Darren that’s great news very much appreciated. Till next time 👍 PS. How to I find Flinders Station?

❤Hello from Florida. Sometime can you do a Florida woodland scene. Thank you so much--I learn so much from you and appreciate your loose but realistic sty l e!

Aw thank you :) hope to see you this weekend at our live workshop.

I wasn't paid anything to create this video. The Amazon affiliate link earns me a small commision as mentioned. It's a decent set, was surprised with the quality.

Hi Sue, I can't remember in that particular video. But I generally use a large mop brush for the first wash, as long as it holds a sharp point. From then, I use smaller synthetic brushes for details.

That was the last time she could live independently. Still doing fine but nice to remember the good times.

A little practice each day goes a long way. I should take my own advice these days lol.

Welcome Marietta :)

Yes just find my channel on TH-cam from your computer and you can enlarge the screen there.

Yeah using larger grid makes it easier to prepare (but less accurate). Also helps you develop your drawing skills more.

I use them mostly at home and and they make excellent detailing brushes too :)

It's Holbein cerulean blue, my fav

@@WatercolourMentor It makes such a bold but beautiful statement.

Welcome Irene!

Always a good idea to make it to the end and then see whether you like it or not then! See you at the next workshop Eileen :)

Don't forget the people 😂

This is really lovely ❤

They are probably all made in the same factory, and sold/re-branded by different companies. But yes, they are awesome brushes and just as good as ones that are 3x the price in my experience!

I came here to say the same, I also have the Fuumuui but mine are wooden above the ferrule. I have a synthetic set like these that have an AMAZING point on every one of them! Have you tried their quills yet ? Talk about a pointed brush my goodness they are amazing I immediately purchased a second set for back up and sent a set to a dear friend in Holland because I know she will love them as much as I do

Hey Summer, you're welcome! I'm glad you like them 😊

That's awesome, have a blast and hope to see some of your paintings 😊

Huh? haha

Thank you 😊

Yes it probably will fit, but will be difficult to hold the brush properly without the handle piece.

@@WatercolourMentor thanks for replying..it will not bother me if its held securly or not as long as the whole thing fits ..i have ordered these travel brushes in natural hair ..they r ariving tomarrow..very excited to try them.

These are synthetic but perform very well, compared to some sable ones that I have. I don't go for sable anymore.

Yep I've used mine for years and also have run classes, let students use them, and most the tubes still have paint in them!

Hi Leah, glad you found me there, I've got a bunch of classes on Skillshare, maybe half of everything I made. It's a good start. Hope you can make the next one. I'm glad you're enjoying my classes! -Darren

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed my workshop 😊 see you at the next one. -Darren

Glad you could made it Cyn! I think you can also add to the chat when it's streaming. Watercolours is more challenging than acrylics/oils in my opinion but magical when it works out!

Aw thanks Mary !

Hi Patrick, that's great - this is a pretty good intro to drawing and painting so let me know how you go and if you have any questions while you're giving this a go. Hope to see you at the next workshop. I'm scheduling it in now for about a month's time. -Darren

Welcome Floyd!
