    I'm slowly exploring color mixing. It's fun to see what you can come up with but there are times where I am impatient and I lean into the convenience colors. Thanks for sharing this with us!

    Alex is the best teacher I have found in learning how to watercolor. She begins with the foundations of water/paint consistency so that we are set up for success. If you are on the fence about joining The Garden Studio, I encourage you to leap into this wonderful creative community! This is my own comment without any perks of saying so. 🥰

      @alexkincaidart 12 днів тому

      Alex has used it! It's not one she recommends for final projects, as it's a cheaper paper, but it's fine for practice... In her opinion, it's better than Canson paper! ~Rachel The Garden Studio Community Manager

    Is brush soap different to hand soap?

    • @alexkincaidart
      @alexkincaidart Місяць тому

      Yes, typically gentler and won't strip the bristles. Google "The Masters Brush Cleaner" and you'll see some examples.

    • @alexkincaidart
      @alexkincaidart 12 днів тому

      Great question, Jacquie! Alex likes a few different sellers- Blick, Cheap Joes, etc... But Blick should ship to Australia. I'd check it out and search up QoR Paints! ~Rachel The Garden Studio Community Manager
