    for soft gradients, I wet my paper front and back, just to the glistening stage and then the paper sticks to your board or table and stays wet for much longer, also a sponge works well for wetting the paper without over wetting it

    Appreciate you using paper that’s not 100% cotton. This video seems geared toward beginners and chances are most are not starting with 100% cotton. Heck, I have 100% cotton and I can’t get myself to use it for fear I’ll waste it with a terrible painting. 😂 Thank you for the lesson/tips!

    I just love your videos. I absolutely love watercolor painting, but struggle terribly when trying to paint a sky, with clouds. The water to paint ratio always turned my paintings into mud.
    Your video is perfect , because you walk us through every step. So many artists forget that beginners are clueless, when it comes to the amount of water to use. I have been a “beginner“ for over four years. 😂
    I know that it comes naturally to many people, but it doesn’t, to me. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and making your videos. ♥️

    Hey Emma! I hope you don't mind if I give you a suggestion.. Since you have soft flat brushes like neptune...try sky gradients with that... flat brushes are the best for gradient...takes much less time, less effort! blends much better, even gradients... And its even better if the brushes are soft! Stiff brushes will give a streaky effect but soft brushes will give gradients to die for!

    Finding out it’s very hard to make sure getting decent ones that have pigment information not just “hues”!
