    Gorgeous artwork!! ❤️❤️❤️ i always found watercolors to be intimidating, since it’s not such a forgiving medium for mistakes, so I mostly stuck to acrylics in art class. But I’ve been learning to embrace mistakes and just have fun while painting, so it might be time to give watercolors another chance :^) your work is very inspiring!! 💕💕💕

    Hi Kelli! I just found you, literally 2 minutes ago after a super long day of Christmas related STUFF, I was foolish enough to wait 'til the last minute to do! My eyes are not up to focusing right now, at 2:30am, but I have subscribed to your channel with all notices and CAN'T wait to dive in and binge your videos later today, when I'm bright eyed and bushy tailed!!!! I'll drop a message later when I'm settled in my studio with paint, brushes, coffee and biscotti. Until then, goodnight/morning and I'm looking forward to working along with you!

    Did you cut off the border? I expected to see a little frame around the painting when the tape was removed. This is really pretty but I couldn't see the sheep very well, maybe zoom in on tiny details next time? Thank you for these nice tutorials.

    What number brush you use?

    • @KelliMcNicholsArt
      @KelliMcNicholsArt 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! I used a Happy Dot brush for this painting which is a small-stiff-haired Chinese-style brush. This brush doesn't have a number like watercolor or acrylic brushes. If you try this with a watercolor brush I think a number 6 or 8 round would be similar in size. Just keep in mind a watercolor brush won't produce the same results. Happy Painting!

    • @KelliMcNicholsArt
      @KelliMcNicholsArt 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The color can be lifted while wet or dry. Like traditional watercolors some colors lift better than others. I have other video that has a few more tips: th-cam.com/video/htL5iTHaVXU/w-d-xo.html. I hope you give them a try. :)
