    I want to thank you for opening up a whole new world for me, I love watching you paint and I'm a year into my journey with watercolor and I never knew I had this gift, I've recently sold my first painting and I owe it to you. My husband doesn't even get mad when I spend the money on professional supplies and I'm 3k into it and never one word from him, anyway thank you for your videos and helping me believe in myself, which I couldn't do before ❤

    I love using this wet technique. Such a fun trick!
    I don’t use my heat tool when I do this because the paper ends up folding up and warping, so definitely agree with letting it dry on its own 🤩

    Thank you! I just got my brusho set, so I was playing around after I watched this video. And when it created its own kind of beach scene, I remembered you and got my stick to make grass! It totally fleshed it out. (Now I'm going to go back to watch some beach tutorials, so I can add texture? surf? to the water.) I appreciate you so much. You have been such an inspiration and influence since I started painting!

    Funny that I just tried this yesterday! Really does work well, especially here in super dry Colorado! For me there’s two points to learn. First I am not always a fan of the blooms, except for certain situations so I had to figure out how long to wait to paint. Of course you are right about thicker paint no bleeding as much. Second, a lot of paintings have a point where they need to dry completely before continuing. Then, what to do with your dry painting? I rewet it, both front and back, but not as much. That seemed to work pretty well. It does provide the perfect surface to create credit card rocks! Clouds worked great, and I could even adjust them a bit with the second wetting! Then just patience while it dries to the right amount! Thank you! You are right, it’s fun!💕

  • @katpaints

    I love it! Back in the mid 90s when I began doing watercolor classes, on the list of supplies was some kind of board. I went to Tap Plastics and got a remnant of plexiglass a few inches lager than 1/4 sheet of paper and somewhere back then I discovered that getting the paper wet and putting it on like this was wonderful! In the summer, I just lifted the paper a bit and sprayed it down and it was wonderful painting plein air on hot summer days! I think you're the first video that I remember seeing someone else do it! LOL! I love the results of your spraying and splattering - and putting that line back there! This actually reminds me of our back field at my folks' place. There was a small woods on one side and about an acre of hay. We didn't have so much Queen Anne's Lace as we did Scotch broom. I'm allergic to both! LOL! They stopped haying over the years and from what I've seen on Google maps, trees have now grown in the field.
