  • / loisdavidsonart I found a couple of interesting short handled Chinese bamboo hake brushes online and thought I'd give them a try for this loose watercolour landscape painting. It depicts a frosty, misty sunrise over the South Downs.
    Materials: 1/4 imperial sheet of Millford cold pressed paper, 140lb, 2" & 1" cheap bamboo hake brushes (easily obtainable through Ebay or Amazon etc), various other brushes, see video, raw sienna, rose madder, cobalt blue turquoise red shade, sepia, paynes grey and indigo

    So happy and grateful that you've shared your watercolor paint demos. I have been painting along with you as an absolute beginner and finally feel like I'm understanding watercolor and totally enjoying myself. I plan to paint along with all 400+ videos! Truly a gift to myself of a relaxing hour of creativity. Thank you!!

I have to find blue shades with red in them so I don't get green-is that correct what are some of these shades? You mentioned one-cobalt turquoise red shade-TY. The book "Making Color Sing" has taugh me a great deal about color but still it is to my mind confusing.
