I am sooo sooo glad to have found your channel! I clicked on the notif bell, I don't usually do that, even for the watercolor artist I follow, I only did that for a few like Sid Roth! But this one, I turned it on for all content! This is solid "art tut!" I really crave and I'm looking for this! Thank you thank you thank you! Please continue what you do and please don't stop sharing your talent with us!
Thanks for the great video. So helpful! I'm new to watercolor so I've been soaking up as many lessons as I can watch. I'm also experimenting with different brands of paint, paper and brushes after reading that quality really impacts results. Early on I got a few different brands of student grade wood pulp papers before diving in and getting Arches cotton paper. I've also moved to experimenting with artist quality brands as my budget allows. One color I happen to have in two brands is cobalt teal, Daniel Smith and Qor, which came in a set. So, when I saw your video, I decided to test out my papers and the two turquoise. What I found is Daniel Smith is much less transparent and much more granular. It makes for some really interesting effects but doesn't do a great wash. The Qor is much more smooth and translucent. Not surprisingly, Arches paper gave the best results. That combination gave the best results by a mile. I'd upload an image but I can't seem to figure that out. Lol
Also, a larger brush would have helped, I think. But I enjoy the texture the end result has. Maybe a wet in wet 1st layer with wet on dry afterward would have helped prevent this.
D.S. Paints are well known for their granulating and textural properties. Asian paints are generally fully transparent unless stated otherwise and this will not happen. I am buying some D.S. but it is FOR texture, and certain colors only. Holbein And White Nights are Brilliant Paints. One brand does not do all.
It helps to have properly gelatin sized paper. It can handle a lot of layers and scrubbing with a brush! Most watercolor papers are sized inside and out, but not all are created equal. Arches seems to be the best for attaining flat washes!

Good to know even the best artists have problem paintings! As a beginner I would have given up, so very glad to have these tips!
Thank you for the beautiful egg demo. Love your hummingbird top. Suits you perfectly as you paint such realistic hummingbirds

Hello Anna! Congratulations! I´d like to know what tipe of brushes (brand) and its numbers do you use? Thank you so much!
nice... thanks
Terrific , not sure how you pulled it off. In my case, I probably would have started over right about here 1:52
Hi Anna, I m wondering - why you don t use wet in wet to get smoothiness?
Also, a larger brush would have helped, I think. But I enjoy the texture the end result has. Maybe a wet in wet 1st layer with wet on dry afterward would have helped prevent this.
^❤^ #Great job !!! thank you. ❤👍😀

I’m having this problem right now and am worried I’m going to rip the paper or completely ruin it
