    Very good explanation of how to manage your water control. You’re one of the few artists who explains the effects of the brushes (types & size), paper (quality, cotton/pulp, cold-pressed/hot-pressed/rough) & the paint 🎨 consistency being part of the process & factor of water control. Also great examples for fixing the problem/issues for successful results. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful beginner tutorial for water control!

    Thank you so much for this explanation, Emma! I'm the type of student that NEEDS a technical explanation of HOW things work to be successful. Some trial and error is necessary, but TOO much can make it hard to understand exactly where things are going wrong and becomes frustrating. LOL.....now if I only new how much water to put in my paint! 😂

    Always enjoy watching your tutorials. I learn something new each time. Thank you so much for sharing your tips. I have only been watercoloring for 18 months but I have fallen in love with this medium and watching and learning from you has helped me tremendously. ♥️

  • @leannet3854
    @leannet3854 Před měsícem +3

    I happened to watch your old video yesterday about how to work around more affordable student grade paper… and it took a huge burden off my newbie fustration. Once I learnt the importance of lifting before water pools, I started making much better progress! Then this tutorial today reinforces that learning. Buying good paper is too much a luxury at this point… so it helps to know how to troubleshoot. Thank you, Emma.
    (p.s. Am waiting for Craftmo to restock your brushsets. It’s all out of stock so am patiently waiting)

    When you do a large wash do you let the water soak in before applying the paint....how much time before applying the paint??

    • @EmmaLefebvre
      @EmmaLefebvre  Před měsícem +1

      Apply the paint right away. You don’t want any spots to dry before you apply the paint. Another factor that I should’ve mentioned in the video is climate. If you’re working in a hot dry space, your paper may dry faster so you’ll have to work quickly.

      Summer vacation is on. Possibly some 5 yo would watch...or their parent...one never knows..
      She has said she will do her best to explain..
      I found the dismissal of the large mop brush to promote her own brand...that was a bit self serving 😅
      I am sure the fat mop brush has its place in artwork that another painter will find very valuable
