Thank you, Shelley. You are so generous to demonstrate this in real time and patiently showing us each step. Thank you for all of your tips on technique. We will become better at washes because of your instructions.
Brigitte from Tampa Florida. You are so incredibly talented ! And a wonderful teacher with patience and well spoken. I am so happy to have discovered you.
Hi Shelley, now that’s better 😘. Your tutorials are so uplifting and thorough, such a great teacher. I know we keep needling you about coming to PA to reach a workshop but really we wish you could. It would be an honor to have you here. 👍🏻🎨☺️
Hi Shelley, I've just found you and love the uncomplicated way you teach, it's refreshing! I've subscribed and am liking very much, you've done some beautiful work. Then, to boot, you have the same christian name as my youngest daughter - what a find! Gonna try to get in time sink to be with you on a Wednesday morning. Looking forward to the upcoming, Graham, from Berkshire in England. Xx
I keep my masking fluid stock bottle in the refrigerator (I bought it in the enthusiasm of the beginner). It's over a year old now and still works fine.
Shelly, Do you have (or can you create) a video on dry brushing? Try as I might I can’t seem to conquer this technique. Esp across the page as in an ocean or in mountains. TY..
thank you for this tutorial , smooth back round are not easy to acheiv for me. Watching from cold ans sunny Montreal ( -33 today) can't wait winter to be over lol
Brrrrrr! As much as we hate cloudy days, sunny days are the coldest in winter. It's like the clouds create a thermal blanket to keep the heat from escaping. Seems like it's a good day to stay in and paint :) Stay warm
Shelley, you are the best! You are amazing at answering every question I have had about the challenges in watercolor. I have a nice soft mop brush but it is only an inch wide and I would love to get an extra wide hake brush but have not been successful finding one. Do you have a recommendation on where I can find one? Thanks so much for the incredibly helpful on target instruction!
I'm happy to help where I can. If you are unable to find a hake brush, I presume you mean locally in your art store. I have not needed to shop for one in many years. Generally speaking, I have found that most art stores are carrying less physical inventory in their stores than they were before covid. Most stores do have online shopping though and upon doing a search I see that there are many online sources for hake brushes ... even Walmart (I cannot vouch for the quality as I have never used these). Hake brushes are notorious for shedding hairs it seems, regardless of the quality. Just remember to leave any loose hair on the paper until the paint is dry. Then it will brush right off.
Another great demo! I am trying it to practice getting the correct relive values. Also in getting just the right curve in the corners of the pieces. You gave great instruction on applying the Frisket (or whatever brand), but I have yet another question. Suppose I apply the Frisket and (as usual) accidentally get an edge a little wrong, perhaps wobbling a bit outside a line. If I want to fix it, can I let it dry and remove the Frisket aroundd that area and re-apply it. Is that a practical solution if I don't want t leave it? The other possibility is to continue and later try to patch the wash beside the chess piece and I expect that would look awful for this painting. Of course, I could instead plan tout something else beside the piece at that spot, but that would be going a bit far.
I have been gluing my paper to a substrate like gaterboard or aluminum, with acrylic gel and drying under weight. Never and buckling or warping. I like to wax or varnish them
This was presented as a live TH-cam. I appreciate the time she takes explaining her process & techniques. Shelley also makes time to answer questions (that are posted) as she paints. This is not like painting tutorials that are pre-recored & edited and where the presenter does not respond to live viewers.

I'm so happy to have you join me on my painting journey and glad if some of my tips help you. Thanks for watching

Adding it to the schedule :)

Thanks very much Janet. I hope to get there sometime in the near future.

Welcome Graham and thanks for watching

Good idea. It's not something that you can leave in the car on a hot day.
Thank you for an excellent tutorial
Glad it was helpful!

Had a meeting this morning, sorry I missed it live. I can add to the Pennsylvania check-ins, another Lancaster
Thanks for tuning in Scott. Glad you were able to catch up.
Thankyou again! I learned some new tips.
Awesome Sue. Thanks for watching
Very interesting as always. Thanks.
Thanks so much Louise. I appreciate that
Looks like ice
Beautiful
Yes, it could be I suppose. Thanks for watching.

Yes, absolutely let it dry, remove and reapply masking fluid.
Thank you very much ❤❤❤❤
My pleasure Eva and thanks for joining :)

I like that too Dolores. That's a great way to create watercolors without glass/glare
@@shelleypriorfineart It also opens a world of creativity in framing and using odd sizes
That would be an interesting video demo.
Very helpful, thank you 😃
I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching Maria
Will you be doing a video finishing this. I would love to see it. Tfs
It seems that a few are eager to see the finish. Will put it on the schedule :)
Tucson AZ here for replay...
Welcome Dolores. Thanks for joining
Virginia
Welcome!
I really wanted to watch it, but boy! Till minute 27 she starts painting.....

Sorry for the delay in getting to the juicy part Maria. The preparation is an important part of the process and I didn't want to exclude that.
I like everything except the long talking
Thanks. I'm trying not to leave anything out but I will try and get straight to the point in future.
