    Another video that's perfect for me. Sometimes all the different parts of watercolor are overwhelming... so I worked up a curriculum where I'm just doing one bit at a time. 😂❤ Up until now I pretty much use one brush, the one I started with... it must be time to expand my horizons.

I have this video on Playback speed of .25 trying to watch your motions so I can practice the twist strokes. May I please make a suggestion? Is there a way for you to angle your camera so your hand isn't blocking the motion and technique? Maybe from the side? Thanks for all your videos!😊

    May i just say that the thumbnail is what really got me on this video. I watch ALL your videos. Some of them over and over again. Just something about the latest thumbnail shouted "oh snap! New content!" and i stopped what i was doing to watch. Also, I try to be a responsible content consumer, so when I press play on a Creator's video, especially if it's the first playthrough, I watch it all the way through. I'm now on my second time watching the video for the day and I intend to paint along with it when I watch it one more time. Hope that helps?

    Such a great reminder to just paint, practice, play and not worry about the outcome. I only get to paint occasionally, and spend too much time trying to get details just right.

    So pretty! I always learn something when I watch your tutorials. When I try this technique, I think of it as rolling the brush more than twisting - rolling it between my fingers rather than twisting from the wrist, a combination of both movements though for more interesting results.
