  • I found a new watercolor brush that I love to use, especially when painting flowers. This brush makes painting flowers with watercolor so easy it's practically cheating. In this video, I paint three different flowers that compare the round brush I normally use with this filbert brush.

    i don't know ... the filbert give you cleaner, sharper lines, but i love the more painterly look of the flowers made with the round brush. each have their purpose. all the results are beautiful either way thank you jenna for the demo.

      @isabelle.9 Před 2 lety +5

      That is exactly what I was thinking as well. Although both red flowers are pretty in their own right, I am more drawn to the left flower.

    Us beginners need all the help we can get! So many videos are like 'just paint a stroke like this, so simple' - except it's not simple for beginners, especially ones that aren't naturally artistic! So thanks! I'll try this on the weekend. I especially liked how your gerberas turned out.

    I love that you keep your palette in the frame so we can see exactly what you do when you go for more paint, it can be so informative and very few watercolor teachers show that part in their lessons. Also, you are very good at describing what you are doing with your brush ~ very specific and detailed thank you so much. Can’t wait to give it a try!

    When I painted in oils for 17 years, and mostly florals, I used a Filbert brush. Doing leaves is also easy. So I went back and use a Filbert brush for petals, particularly daisies, sunflowers, etc.

    I haven’t tried that but recently started using a dagger from Kristy Rice collection. I think it has a similar feel. Definitely easier to paint flowers with the dagger than the round.

My Mom is super artistic and until I started painting with you I totally thought there was a windstorm the day the Art fairy dust was released! 3 months later...my husband told his students..."my wife is an artist". The favorite part of my day is a cup of tea and painting with You Jenna!!!!

  • @LilyShimizu
    @LilyShimizu Před 2 lety +7

    Man when I finally wanted to get back into painting recently I spent a considerable amount of time in Michael’s just figuring out which brushes I should get, searching for some small sets with good variety to save money instead of buying each individually, and I focused mostly on making sure I had a variation of round brush sizes BUT I was particularly drawn a discounted Filbert 10 brush the only one left, and I didn’t want to pass it up, and then when I tested it I was IN LOVE with the effects I got. I can’t believe I haven’t used it since the first test, but I guess it’s because I’ve just been trying to practice with one or two round sizes but this makes me especially want to mess with it again, it’s such a great shape to work with.

      The MIMIK squirrel are wonderful. They are vegan (non animal), available on Amazon. They are sometimes on sale, but either way the small sets of 5 brushes are the way to go. The brushes last for years.

    You know, when you first started painting I really felt like I preferred the look from the round brush, but at the end I definitely see a difference. I think I was a little biased because of how versatile a round brush is, but you’ve demonstrated that filberts are just as versatile for certain styles. Thank you!

  • @mickeyroth1454
    @mickeyroth1454 Před 2 lety +19

    If you haven't yet: try starting with the Filbert on it's edge. Then as you press down on the brush, rotate it so it is on the flat side. The stroke can end here or you can rotate back to the side while reducing pressure. Filbert are also good at loading brush with one color then dipping one side ( or corner) in another color.

    Hiya Jenna, It's not cheating as the brush itself was a creative process in its inception and development. If it works use it. I'm a new subscriber from England and Paul Apps recommended your channel. Thanks very much for a great video. David.

  • @willow_rayne6678
    @willow_rayne6678 Před 5 měsíci

    I took this video as an artist discovering a new tool to aide her in her craft. Much like everyone else when they discovered a tool that made what they did easier. It's an opinion. By sharing this, she's giving a look into how each brush behaves when painting each type of flower, the leaves, and stems. While there are things she still uses a round brush for, there are also ones that she prefers to use the Filbert brush on. Again, it's an opinion. Every creator has their favorite tool(s). Each person will view the art and form their own opinions. That is what art is. Subjective. The meaning, the message, the emotions felt from any artwork is different between each person. That is another reason art is so beautiful. Whether you already knew of this brush or not, this was an informative video providing visuals to what this brush looks like in painting varying petals. For someone like me who is newer to watercolors, I am thankful for videos of this nature, as it provides me with a viewpoint on the different brushes, and aides in my development with watercolors. Thanks again for sharing!

  • @beabeamakesartnstuff7693
    @beabeamakesartnstuff7693 Před 2 lety +1

    Hi Jenna, you could sharpen the end of your filbert brush to emulate the wooden tip end of the rounds. Just either use a stanley knife or stick it in a sharpener. You could varnish it if you were worried about water damage :)
