    I can't believe that you used the same brush throughout and such a big one. Love your painting, thank you.

    I can't believe how such a small amount of pigment can make such a fabulous difference. And wow how big is your brush, but you paint the finest of small areas with it. I love you're style. No fuss no nonsense. Xx

      My reasons for using large mop brush
      - covers large areas more quickly.
      - Holds a generous amount of water and pigment.
      - has a fine tip
      - I have limited number of brushes.
      - due to budget constraints, I avoid investing in fancy brushes.

    I love this! The final picture is so appealing. Your technique and narration are wonderful. And I'm so impressed with your ability to paint small details with such a big brush. I can see that it's a very good brush with a great tip. Still, it takes so much skill to paint details while preventing that huge brush from dumping a ton of water onto the painting. Very impressive, and thoroughly enjoyable. Thank you so much!

    Delightful card! You are very skillful at using your brush heavily loaded. I have been taught that one should always use the largest brush possible to apply the paint.

      I’d like to tell you about my personal experience with watercolor brushes....
      Initially, I started with a local brand mop brush and round brush. Though the mop brush shed bristles, I still enjoyed using it. Over time, I saved up and invested in better brushes. Now, I use two favorites: the Escoda Ultimo mop brush (size 16) and the Silver Brush Black Velvet round brush (size 8).
      Unfortunately, I don’t have specific recommendations for affordable brushes, as I haven’t tried or tested many. However, starting with a basic mop brush and round brush is a great way to begin your painting journey!
      Happy painting!

    I really like this, it's such a cute motif, yet easy to do! What type/brand of tape do you use though? So far I couldn't find any that do not take the surface of the paper off when removing it, which is really annoying as it ruins the whole painting.
