Wow! This looks fun! I also love that you kept going with your painting even when you weren’t sure. It ended up looking so much more vibrant and interesting than the ‘before’ painting 😊💜
Thanks Sarah! I appreciate you stopping by!
This is a pretty late comment. I've had my Brusho stashed away for awhile and decided to watch some videos before playing with it again. On Joanne Boon Thomas' site, I found that she keeps a spray bottle of 70% water/30% bleach for special effects AND to lighten/remove areas of Brusho. It seemed to work well. She also showed a picture in her studio that she did with Brusho 10-15 years ago that is as vibrant as the day she painted it. Of course, NO painting should be in direct sun...
Keep up the good work!!
Great video! The brusho really makes the flower pop out. FWIW, I actually really like the brusho on the lower left corner. It makes a nice soft edge.
I also live in Colorado. One thing I do when I need to paint a large area wet-on-wet is I put lots of water down on the paper, let it soak in for 10-15 minutes, then re-apply the water. Obviously it makes the painting process take longer, but at least the paper isn't so thirsty which helps give you more time to paint on wet paper. Hope that technique helps!
Thanks for the great technique!💜
Great tip! Thank you Tyler!
Wow amazing effects. Being brave paid off muchly with this painting!
I appreciate the nice comment!
Emily, can you do a video on how you scan your paintings for making cards and prints? I don’t understand much about software needed for this purpose. Thank you so much!
That’s a great idea! I’ll see what I can do!
Wow, the brusho really made that Iris pop. Love it Emily.
Thanks Mary!
Emily, thank you so much. Your videos are so professionally well done. I am thoroughly enjoying them. Yes, I hit the thumbs up,, the subscribe button, and the notification bell.I too live in a dry environment.
Thank you, Eileen!
i love Brusho! its so much fun! I'm so glad you decided to play with it!!😄😄
Thanks for the nice comment! 💕
I am a patron member and your classes are so worth it. You are very clear and very calm. I. So happy I found you
Aw, thanks Jennie! Your comment made my day!
I have every color and I LOVE them! ❤️
Yay! 🙌
I love Brusho! I used them for my greeting cards.
That’s a perfect way to use it!
Brushos are fun to use on the gel plate using a light water based ink first then sprinkling or splashing Brusho colors and spritzing with water before taking a print.
Ooooh! Sounds fun!
Wow! All new to me, love these! I love how you inspire us all to step out of our comfort zone!
I appreciate that!
I have the same set! I have used it only in very abstract landscapes…which isn’t even my preferred subject. So, that said, my Brusho hasn’t had a lot of love in my studio. I really like the background idea-I could see that working well. The other hurdle I have with the Brusho is it’s dye based ingredients. The colors in dyes (to me) are always just a little too intense. Maybe if I tried again & did a Brusho background first on something I typically enjoy painting (birds, animals, flowers), then I just might fall in love with Brusho again. Thanks Emily!😁
Yes, the colors are SO intense! For sure there's a learning curve. :)
Downside for me is that I can always tell when someone has used brusho. I thank you for sharing this lovely adventure!
Loved your experiment! The painting really pops so much more with the added Brusho. Your bravery paid off - congratulations!!
Thank you, Veronica!
I have so many brusho colors and almost never think to use them. I need to be brave and get them out more often. Your iris looks amazing!
Yay! I hope you’ll get to play with them soon!
That is great, I also have Brusho but have been a little bit worried to use it on my paintings, thank you for the tips on how to use it, I will give it a try, next painting.💕
🙌🙌🙌
I just ordered! 😞 I’m going to try! I hope I don’t get disappointed
🙌
We have experimented with brusho in mu art group and had some brilliant results. We did an exercise where we created backgrounds then painted/ penned a silhouette over the top which worked well. Glad you had fun with it, enjoy continuing your experimenting x
How FUN!!
Woo-hoo, that looks fun! Thanks for the close up look and the explanation. I had heard Brusho mentioned previously but was envisioning it being like a "colored salt". Lol.
Loved your iris flower either way. The before painting had a classically elegant feel to me, which was beautiful. But the after painting was like a garden party!
That is so nice of you. Thanks Sharon!
Great instruction Emily, love that you constantly question yourself. I have seen less talented TH-cam artists who come across as the best, no humility. Being able to admit your doubts and fears, admitting you make mistakes is so refreshing especially in one as accomplished as you. Thank you so much.
I ordered a small selection of brusho months ago, did some Christmas cards but you have inspired me to😊 dust them them off and use them in backgrounds, landscapes, wish me luck!
Your comment made my day! Thank you for that! Have fun with your Christmas cards--that's a GREAT way to use Brusho!
I'm glad you experiment! I have to push myself to do it.
Just ordered the same waiting and can’t wait to try it.
wonderful lesson. Thank you
Thank you for doing this video. After watching the way the Brusho works I think I will pass on trying it. It looks very hard to control.
Totally get that!
Awesome results
Hi Emily. I love your painting style and thank you for bringing your talent to TH-cam. Brusho is very intriguing. Your iris painting is beautiful! I was wondering if you have seen Karen Rice use this medium on wet watercolor paint? She also creates some interesting effects with Brusho.
Thanks so much for your comment, Teresa! I'll have to check out Karen Rice's videos on Brusho!
That turned out really well. I wonder why the Brusho couldn't move over top of your petals ,,,i liked it anyways. But the petals were really beautiful before too. Goo job ,it takes a lot of bravery to paint like you do! 🎉 well done!!
Thanks so much for the nice comment!
These are so fun=3. I need a couple=3
If you love these you should try Lindy’s Magicals from Lindy’s Stamp Gang. I ended up buying every single color they have….the colors are AMAZING and like these. It says they are lightfast though I cannot find a rating.
Ooh, I will have to try!
Love it!
Absolutely beautiful. I bought some, but still feel nervous about using it.
Oooh I hope you’ll give it a try! They say the only wasted paint is the paint that remains unused. 😉
After watching several videos on Brusho, I ordered a pack of 6, which cost $40+. I was disappointed. The colors did not have 2, or 3 different pigments. The yellow was yellow, orange was orange, etc. but the real issue, and why I returned it, it is a dust consistency. Im asthmatic, and had issues asap. I have this should be emphasized. And to answer someone else’s question, YES, you can get the same and better effect with granulated watercolors.
this stuff had been on my wish list for a bit, but always find something else to buy instead
ALWAYS something to buy, right? 😉
So tye dye is a much cheaper way to try brusho, from what I can tell they are the same thing except for maybe the lightfastness.
Yes it is Archival and if you're worried about it they do have a spray....UV conservation varnish. It's always best to go to the experts for information instead of listening to the rumors.
I don't use it often but it's FUN 😁
Rather unpredictable but living their lives.
DON'T FORGET: LESS IS MORE
And be careful- or it will spread everywhere in your house
Hah yep! This is one I’m not letting my kids use (yet)! 😛
Have you tried the super granulating watercolors and how would you compare Brusho to the super granulating watercolors?
The super granulating watercolors are really just mixed pigment colors that granulate, so they do have that cool separating effect with water. They are still very different from Brusho, since it's in crystal form and does this "color explosion" thing that watercolors (even highly granulating ones) cannot replicate. :)
@@EmilyOlsonArt well I definitely want to try them! Looks like it's skill, luck and serendipity using Brusho, and watercolor is it's own kind of serendipity so it's a double dose of fireworks on paper, an aurora borealis at your fingertips!
Thank you Emily for this tutorial, I watch each and everyone and I love your art. Can you tell me if you have ever tried the metallic watercolor and if so, what brand and for a whole painting or just a little part of it. Thank you very much, Merci beaucoup !
Thanks for watching, Ginette! I have not tried metallic watercolors, but sounds fun!
Love your video! You got some fantastic effect ~ Do you recommend to use color fixing agent?
I prefer your beautiful painting before the brusho. It is experimental so glad you showed us your brusho technique but it kind of messed up the flower. Obscured the leaves. How did you feel about it? I have some and it is fun but high risk for ruining a painting.
If you can paint it once, you can always paint it again! No risk, no reward. :)
Hi! Will Brusho still work on non-watercolor paper? I would like to use them on daily journaling, like adding designs to the edges of the paper perhaps. I have Rhodia Goalbook, and it says it has 90gsm white brushed vellum paper.
I'm not sure! It's worth a try!
Could you tell me what digital scanner you like to use? Thanks 🙏 😄
I have an Epson Perfection V600. :)
@@EmilyOlsonArt thanks 😄
Way out of my comfort level. I give up too easily to use something that I can’t completely control. Even on the pictures that are abstract or modern
Hmm sounds like a little Brusho adventure might be good! 😉
Thank you for the note about non archival dye / ink. I will not be wasting my money.
Brusho where .ooooooo9 of a gram will cover the entire earth. lol
