I’m so glad I have found you! I have been painting since 2020/2021 but only now I come across your course. I have loved it. It’s a complete guide for a beginner like myself! Thank you!
I’m from Los Angeles, I just received the package and I am delighted, colors are great so does the presentation and an excellent tutorial helping me a lot since I’m just a beginner… thank you so much for producing such a great quality watercolor brush pens, 🥰
Thank you so much, really delighted it worked for you. Designing this course took months, trying to figure out the exact balance and how to build the skills logically. Super appreciate you commenting and letting us know it works! YAY IT WORKS hehehe
Finally finished, and loved this tutorial! I have one question. I keep having a strange issue on this tutorial (and when laying down water for a wash in general): it seems like no matter how I try, I still end up with "dry spots" on the paper. More specifically: I soak my flat brush and lay down the water wash; then, when I lay down the paint, I discover there's little spots of the paper (about the size of a quarter) that are still completely dry. This happens even though the paper is small, and there's not much area to cover. Is this just a complication of the paper buckling a bit after stretching? Or maybe the quality of the brush itself? Are there any little hacks to prevent this (other than getting better and looking at the glaze on the paper before starting to paint)? Maybe I'm being too conservative with the amount of water I'm putting down (for fear of putting down too much.) Any advice is appreciated!
Heya! This is a great question. I'd recommend using more water than you think is necessary, really drenching it, and then removing the excess with your brush, by brushing it onto a towel or tissue (not by using the tissue directly on the paper). If you work quickly to apply the water and then move on to using the paint as quickly as you can you shouldn't face this problem. Keep up the good work, it's just a matter of practice :D
@@Chromatek Thank you so much. I will try using more water! I did end up trying this (just the blending) a few more times on a scrap piece of paper, and putting more water down, and it looked much nicer. But I think I will try even more. Watercolors are so different, and I think the idea of putting water on paper just feels so bizarre, you think it will ruin it, it's a weird mental block. I will keep challenging it. Thank you again, these tutorials are great!

Thanks so much for the kind words! So delighted you're enjoying the videos and finding them helpful :D
I've enjoyed these so much! I feel like I'm progressing.
Awesome project! I really enjoyed the mini practice of the mountains in the beginning on the washes, genius! Great work and teaching, thank you!
