Thank you Marion,

Kind words Steve, thank you.

You are most welcome.

Thank you Zayna. ❤

So true.

Thank you for the nice comment. You are so right about retaining luminosity from the start, one of the biggest secrets.

Totally agree that there is no right or wrong in art, the comment I made was a bit of fun with my online student about Paynes Grey, which I personally don't use. Students always ask me for my opinion, which I am fully entitled to give. I never belittle anyone, it's not my style.

Thanks Todd, you are right, as you go darker the lights get lighter by contrast.

One doesn't usually mount watercolours in circular mounts? I've never done one and never seen anyone do this. Interesting concept, but I think you are alone on this one.

That's good to know Beverly, Thanks.

Thanks Sue, little positive comments like this make it all worthwhile.

Your films are amazing, thank you for allowing me to use your dramatic ariel clip on my movie.

Thank you Judy, hope you give it a try.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, You don't need to be British to paint in a fresh easy way.

That's kind, thank you.

Thank you so much!

The biggest secret in painting is "don't be a slave to what you see, be the master of what you want".

Can you recommend a good synthetic mop brush and size?

@@Frankwatercolours It is not a secret... but the techniques helping be master of what we want, are secrets that painters do not share... Conclusion: when you see somebody promessing you secrets, go away and don't loose your time... Nobody gives you the real techniques he may evenr found...

​@@etina17000 'Secrets of watercolour' is part of my brand, it's not a literal thing. You can be either positive on cynical about what I do, it's clear that you've chosen the latter. Which is OK with me.

It's a Rosemary & Co Red Sable 99 series No.10 size, it's brilliant for the calligraphy stage. Come and join me on zoom on a Wednesday. www.frankwatercolours.com

Thank you! So good!!! What time is the zoom on Wed? US EST?

In the way of what? I’m painting a demo from a photo, I’m teaching my students to paint? Don't be so negative.

Always start the first light wash with a large synthetic mop style brush, use a no.10 round sable for the caligraphy stage, you are drawiung with the brush, it's all about mark making, not dabbing!

Dissapointed to hear you are still using sable brushes, modern synthetic brushes are so good now, we don't have to support animal cruelty. Please reconsider.

@@philipduesbury8218 Right then Philip, I've been in touch with my brush supplier raising your concern, here is the reply... "No animal is killed to make a brush, we are a by-product and use only the tails".

Thank you for your reply and not just deleting it. The production of traditional sable brushes involves the use of animal fur, which raises ethical concerns related to animal welfare. Many artists are becoming increasingly conscious of the environmental and ethical impact of their tools, leading them to explore alternatives to traditional sable Sable is banned in the US because the species was grouped into a list of endangered species.

I don't use Paynes Gray, I mix cool ultramarine and warm sepia and get a more interesting neutral tint. But each to his own, no right way or wrong way in art.

I love the Paynes Grey colour, but more than any other, it seems to lighten when dry.

Thank you Sherry, one of my best, recently sold.
