@@user-uj3mh4hh2y Yes, can you contact me on Instagram @britt.hart.art? DM there and I can chat with you. There are certain settings I use on my computer to get the printer to match the colors correctly.

¡Muchas gracias por mirar!

@@britthartart❤️🥰

Thank you!! 😊

Yes, it’s so difficult to narrow down the colors! And it does depend on what landscapes you like to paint. I love Southern Utah red rock so I used lots of colors to help me paint that scenery. Are you in Ireland?

@@britthartart I am located in the states but play Irish traditional reels and jigs on harmonica (aka mouth harp). I have yet to travel to Ireland but am inspired by its landscapes, people, culture, and music.

🤣 So sweet! I’m grateful for my art mom. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tip! I’ll have to try that. I did find some fake eggs at Hobby Lobby that worked great with watercolors. It would be nice for them to last a long time so they can be put out as decorations each year. Thanks for watching!

I’ll make sure the Easter Bunny puts one in your basket!

Isn't that awesome?! It can hold so many brushes and supplies. It's the perfect bag for me. And thanks for your kind comment about my son being lucky to have me. I am so lucky to have him too! Actually, he's just 1 of 5 kids I'm blessed to have.

I love that you're a children's worker and an art tutor! What a great job! I appreciate your comment and understand what you're saying about the paper. And yes, Fabriano is a great option for 100% cotton paper. I actually like it better than Arches! I don't even use Arches myself anymore. I feel like my watercolors come out "dull" on it for some reason. And I know what you mean about artist's not using their "good" paper until they feel like they're good enough to use it. That's how I used to feel but luckily, you do grow out of that. What I think would be the best practice is to find your favorite, affordable 100% cotton paper and stick with it! That way you get to know the paper well and you figure out how it reacts to water/watercolors. I use Fabriano and Baohang 100% cotton paper mostly for my work, but I do reach for my Canson watercolor paper for watercolor cards. For now, my son will continue to practice on Canson watercolor paper. For his next sketchbook we'll probably step it up to 100% cotton paper. I just hope he sticks with it! I think he will.

@@britthartart Hi again. Thanks for the reply! Paper: I trial papers with my students so that I know I'm offering them the best possible options and having tried a few, they can choose what suits them. They have a made-by-me watercolour sketchbook which they can use to experiment in as they like. It has ten different papers: some are wood pulp, some are 100% cotton, and it is made up of 28 x 38 paper, folded in half and stitched, so they get four 28 x 14cm sides of each to work with. In class, they'll use the same papers for various watercolour projects. My own favourites are all 300gsm, Saunders Waterford cold pressed for still life, etc, and Fabriano Artistico rough for my plein air and studio landscapes, both of which have been my go-to papers for 26 years (!!! 😮 ) but I also like Hahnemühle The Collection, and Lanaquarelle. Not so keen on Sennelier, and detest Canson student (wood pulp) papers! For watercolour cards, I usually use the SW and FabArt, because they are usually only postcard size or smaller, so it's a good way to use up off-cuts. For dry media (I love working with graphite!) I used to use W&N 190gsm sketchbooks, or A3 medium surface spiral pads, but while the sketchbook paper itself remains good, the actual sketchbooks are no longer so well-made. So I've switched to Seawhite of Brighton, which I'd used occasionally and really liked, and which, like W&N, will take light washes of watercolour and / or ink. And Talens Art Creation is great for fun projects! Some folk do get over their 'preciousness', but a lot never do (along with other ArtTubers, even Lindsay Weirich still struggles with this problem!). I never had it in the first place. I used Cotman as a beginner, and it worked well, but I swapped after a few months when I discovered it actually cost more per square inch than professional papers! I'd used a variety of papers over the years for craft projects, so had quickly discovered that most of the cheaper stationers art papers were not the best buy! But I think I was lucky. Coming back to painting seriously in the mid 1990's, UA-cam was still in its infancy, a place to share one's photos and little videos with family and friends. Online shopping was also in its infancy, and I saw the birth and early years of companies like Ken Bromley and Jacksons, and Rosemary and co, when choice was greater, perhaps than in our local stores, but nowhere near the massive choices we have now! Now, YT is awash with endless videos on seemingly endless topics, all advocating different things. The issue with ArtTube is the fads - everyone jumps on the bandwagon and the choice is so vast that many have far more art supplies than they can possibly use in their lifetime, and many of which sit unused on their shelves after they've done initial 'reviews'. And Jacksons, and Rosemary and Co are massive world-wide concerns, taking art products into countries where art suppliers are best known by their absence. (That also applies here in France!) Yes - working with children, and teaching art (among other things) have been among the great joys of my life! I'm incredibly blessed to have had such joy and fulfilment! From the small part I've seen of your son's work via this video, I think he really does have something worth encouraging, and I'm glad that he has a mother who does encourage him! Oops! 😮😮😮!!! I have 'talked' far too much and I should have been cooking dinner!!! But I as before, I hope that something I've written here helps others. 😊

@@MrsBarnabas Thank you for all your wise input! I could talk art all day too! I will definitely check out the supplies you recommended. I think that's genius that you make up your own sketchbooks for your students to try different types of paper and figure out what paper they like. I have a class coming up and I'm going to take your idea and offer different types of 100% cotton 140 lb cold press paper to try. Thank you!

@@britthartart _"I'm going to take your idea ..."_ What a compliment! Thank you!!!! I hope your upcoming class brings you great joy as you all learn alongside one another (I find I learn as much - and possibly more! - from my students (regardless of the subject I'm teaching, whether art, music, English as a second language or Bible teaching), as they learn from me, but what I learn is not necessarily about art or the other subjects so much as about them as people who have ideas to offer, what I learn about myself and how to adapt the planned teaching to suit them...

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it.

You're welcome! Setting up a palette and choosing your colors is so much fun! Happy painting!

Also, one green I didn't include on here that I can't live without is Undersea Green by Daniel Smith. Love it!

❤❤❤

Thank you! 😊

Thanks for listening! ☺️

You’re welcome! And what a great idea. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your support, Jake! ❤️

I did this tonight and it’s my most favorite thing I’ve painted! Thank you!

@@Htrout I’m so glad you tried it! It’s simple and turns out so cute huh?

Thank you so much! These Cherry Blossoms are so fun to paint! Do you paint watercolor?

Thank you for your kind comment! ❤️

Yes, do try it! I hope you love it. Let me know if you have any questions.

It is a plastic palette. But I wash it with a Magic Eraser before using it and it takes off the shiny coating so the paint doesn’t bead up. I have a link to it in the video description if you’re interested. Thanks!

I just bought mine on Amazon here: Glenmal 7 Pcs Portable Watercolor... www.amazon.com/dp/B0BYYCQJ8Z?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Thank you, Makenzie!! I can't wait to get together and make them with you.

Right?! I’m usually in a hurry so need to paint something quick. This one is my go-to card.

Thank you! I’m so glad you’re going to paint it. I appreciate your comment.

😂 Deliciousness!!

You and I both know it's not easy! :)

Great idea! I’ve never tried it with other nuts but I’m sure it would be delicious! 😋

Good advice! I buy Winsor and Newton professional grade, Daniel Smith, and Holbein only now.

Thank you, Meena! i love hand painted cards and tags!

Thank you, Marcia! 😊

Thank you! They are really fun to paint! Give them a try.

Thanks so much! 😊

Thank you! Aren't they fun?

@@britthartart can’t wait to try !

Good question! I didn’t for these Christmas tags but I should have if I wanted them to last. When I made some Easter tags for my sister I borrowed my friend’s laminating machine and laminated those. That way they will last a very long time!

What could I use for a Christmas picture I'm attaching to a country wood plaque?

@@hollybrown1073 Ooh fun! Maybe a Christmas wreath or a snowy landscape. A snowy Christmas tree would be pretty too!

What about to seal a picture for a gift.

@@hollybrown1073 I see what you’re saying! Hmm…would Modge Podge work for something like that? I know it works going over normal paper but I haven’t tried it over watercolor paper. I wonder if there is a spray sealer that would work too. Sorry I’m not more helpful!

Not yet! But that’s a great idea and I’ll do it this year and share it on my Instagram or maybe even make another UA-cam video. Thanks!

@@britthartart that would be awesome. I’m not a painter, but I want to do want this year so bad

@@bcqwm5w They are so fun and pretty simple! I do have a video where I paint Christmas trees on tags. It would be the same basic strokes. Let me post that here…

@@bcqwm5w ua-cam.com/video/BXRLQXKc6XI/v-deo.htmlsi=2YhuygGTVyBTVa4P These are gift tags but there are two kinds of Christmas trees I paint here. They would both be good on a cookie!

So fun! I’m glad it was helpful. I love setting up these palettes!
