    Wow Michele! I have only just discovered you. Thank you so much for your generous sharing of so many techniques. I'm in my 70's and have only been watercolour painting for a couple of years, although I had art as a main subject at teacher training college in the dark ages! I too am from southern England but have lived in Oslo for almost 50 years. So much to learn and so little time!!! Best wishes, Sue :-)

    I am struggling to find my own "style". After 22 years in the military, I follow instructions well. Perfect for tutorials! I had a great result from one of your classes and hung it in my living room. I took it down after friends and family gushed over it. "Why?" they asked. My reply, "This is me following instructions from an exceptional teacher, so it's me copying her work and style." I have ventured into flowers, buildings, animals, & even bugs. My skills are improving, but I still feel like I'm copying another artists style.
    LOL, I just felt like grumbling a tad for the ALGORITHM!🙂 Thankyou for be YOU!💖

      Put the painting back up I would say, it's a joint effort, you couldn't have done it if you didn't have any skill, I didn't reach through the screen and paint it for you :-)

      I do too, but when I go on my computer, I go into my history, and like the ones that I have watched. It takes a little time, but, I figure, as much as Michele gives of herself, I can take ten or twenty minutes a week to get caught up.

    Thx af in 4 a fab video again with great tips. A question, isn't it an idea to use a pen that erases when you warm it up , just a heatgun on it and... No more lines? Not a brilliant udea? 😂🤭😉, or am i missing something...

    • @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber

  • @evelyne7071
    @evelyne7071 3 роки тому

    Was it you Michele, who ironed a finished rumbled watercolor painting ? I believe I saw you use a towel and a very low iron to press out the waviness.
    So my problem is that I had a huge piece of watercolor paper that I taped down, sprayed, and let dry overnight. I did not mop up the excess water puddles.
    Needless to say, its got hills and dales. Since there is no paint on it, I’m going to try to iron it. I may even lightly spray it first (mist only…….no floods).
    Otherwise it will be unusable. Should work.
