    If you dip your brush into dish soap and rub it into the bristles, the masking fluid will wash out. 😉

    If you rub your paint brush over a hard bar of soap, before you use your masking fluid, it will stop the brush from clogging up and washes off easily afterwards. Lovely tutorial. Thank you.

    You're a very interesting art teacher as well as a wonderful artist. It's a nice reminder as I have used all these examples except for the cling wrap. I will be trying that on my next few paintings. I can see how it would make more depth to an under water painting as well as a landscape. Might try it on a portrait too. mmm interesting..... Thank you. Hugs!

    Hello Kirsty, thank you for so many great videos with lots of very helpful infos. I am always waiting for a new video from you. :) I was thinking about trying watercolour but I am not sure if I will like it or if I am able to handle them. So I don´t want to spend too much many in the beginning. Do you have a recommendation for good and "cheap" watercolours? Thank you.

  • @BlessedForever888
    @BlessedForever888 Před 2 lety

    Thank you! I was just wondering why there is a kind of gritty effect when the water is added to the paper? Is it because of the paint type, or is it because the watercolor paper is not handling the water well and is kind of peeling up? I noticed this happens when I paint and I wish I could stop that. I am wondering if it is my paper, perhaps it is too thin?

  • @Idyllicinnocence
    @Idyllicinnocence Před 7 lety +5

    I definitely need to experiment more with my watercolours so thank you. regarding masking fluid I recommend using a colour shaper. it has a silicone tip so the masking fluid peels off it after use rather than destroying a brush :) ~ x

    I’ve seen other artists add vinegar to their water. Makes the colors spread differently. Also blowing bubbles in the colored watery paint and then transferring the bubbles to the paper and letting dry.
