So helpful. Have just bought a lovely brush set with a hake and was wondering how to use it properly. I really like your gentle, peaceful way of tuition. It encourages rather than intimidates. (And a little Beethoven sets the scene.) Thank you for sharing your immense talent.
Thank you. They do hold a lot of water, you can use a towel to dry the brush. It takes practice, but once you get used to the amount of moisture you need, they’re fantastic brushes.
Really enjoyed watching this video, TWICE IN A ROW ! Lovely watercolors, lovely end result… A bonus: your soothing voice … very relaxing… Thank you for this excellent tutorial for a most relaxed moment ! New subscriber here … Looking forward to the next one. Till then and wishing you the best moving onward ✅
You can also warm your tape with a blowdryer or heat gun to loosen the adhesive and then be sure to pull your tape off away from the painted surface as you pull instead of pulling straight up. And I have also learned to pull the tape off slowly.

Thanks Mary, glad you liked the video
Beautiful painting with the soft edges for the sky and rough edges for the foreground. This turned out very nice! I love using my hake brushes!
@@susie1216 Thanks Susie, much appreciated
Beautiful! Thank you,

Brilliant video, love how you use the hake brush, thanks for this video and great painting.
@@JohnnyB-art Thanks so much
you inspired me with the "hake" ...and it changed the way I paint...really love it.
That’s great !! Glad you were inspired
Lovely painting, soft sky. I find my Ron Ranson brush picks up so much water, I have to be careful not to spoil the painting.

Molto suggestivo, grazie mille.
@@dominiquelefevre9946 Prego! Grazie per la visione
Enjoyed your video. What kind of tape do you use. I have tried several and they all damage my paper (and my painting). Thank you
Thanks Katherine. I use low tack masking tape.

@@cuffiadarcie I’ve never tried heating the tape, sounds like a great idea 👍
@@cuffiadarcieThank you-helpful
I find that hake brushes regularly “shed” bristles onto my paper. Frustrating!
@@dougdawson8286 I find that they can shed a bit, not regularly though. Have you tried the Pro Arte hakes ?
Very nice
Thank you
Did you notice how often he “flicked” some hairs off his paper while first wetting his paper? (maybe it’s just a characteristic of the Hake brush?)
@@johnlang1933 Yes I noticed. I tried Hake brushes and eventually gave them to my grandchildren to use when they come over. Frustrating.
