I love this brush set and the brush stroke drills are so helpful. Learning how to use each brush and seeing the possibilities is something no one else does.
The leafy patern…
I just got mine!!! This will be so helpful 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
So what are the two creative birds we're un-aliving here?
1. Building skills through practice and drills
2. Creating some cool art along the way!
Here's an oldie but a goodie that will also produce some amazing skills and art! https://youtu.be/lZYD4AO5-cI
First curves scrap was first fav. Yes I'll try this. Two nights ago was going through old paint brushes And trying out different grips and slants. Then I had to see what salt did when sprinkled on watercolors. I keep my swatches in the front of an old spiral bound sketch pad and practice paintings in the back. I'll try an actual picture next year. I already have the photo 😂
Brush review is good information.
Thank you dear friend 😀
I love the diagonal lines it reminds me of a monsoon rain. I left an actual list of your brushes and some academy paper. My 37 year old daughter asked if the brands mattered. I just looked at her. She yelled down the hall “brand matters dad” he called back from his office “ask her if she’s seen strathmore paper, it’s much more economical” she walked down to his office I couldn’t hear what they were saying. Hoping she got it straightened out
At least one other creator (?mind of watercolor) loves this brush.
Thanks Kristy. This is a brush I never reach for. It never did what I wanted it to and another brush did it. Now watching you I can see how you are holding the brush to the paper. Tomorrow is my cat tongue brush day. Time to play with it. 😁
I like the first one the best. Love the blue hues! ❤
It’s like your child who’s the favorite. No favorites they are all so pretty.
I just bought this set of brushes and oh boy do I love them. Thank you!!!
I have been using the cat's🐱 tongue👅 brush🖌️ to paint 🎨 dahlia's🌸🌼🏵️ since the summer. It took a couple of practice tries, but once I got down a pattern it works really well for dahlia's. 😀🌺❤️
My favorite brush is a size 18 round. I literally use it for everything. I get annoyed at other brushes because they don't hold as much water as my trusty round does. It's frustrating, but I can get fine details or thick washes with it, so it's only annoying because I have other brushes and just … they aren't my 18 round lol
I do plan on trying this. Likely after the holiday after I finish gifts and cookie making. I'll come home from work and play. To decompress.
I know everyone’s struggling right now but I was just curious if you possibly have any holiday codes? I’d love to buy your paint brushes and your watercolor set for my mom for Christmas. After she had surgery I went to her house to just do something fun to lift her spirits and we took out some old Crayola paint and she actually made a really cool little picture. I just love to be able to give her something really special this Christmas. Just thought I’d ask.
I really love and appreciate your approach teaching people how to do watercolor because it’s more of a feeling than technical step one step two step three.❤
These look fun. For sure I’ll give them a try😊
Im going to use the color purple. I'm listening to Prince, Purple Rain
Love my brush set. Sent a thank you but no gift from you with pointers ☹️
Kristy will you show some glass support painting. That’s wetting down a piece of glass and both sides of the paper before painting. It stays wet for hours and the tension of the water makes the paper adhere. No tape, no bubbles. I would love some examples of you working this way with your fabulous brushes that I own.
When I go to the link, it references a set – is brush part of a set? Just want to make sure I am purchasing the correct brush.
Cat’s tongue > Dagger for me. Not sure if I’m just not used to the dagger but I haven’t gotten the hang of it yet. My cat’s tongue needs to be replaced soon. 😢 It’s starting to fray, that’s how much I use it. Out of that 6 brush set I bought ( faux squirrel – cat’s tongue, 2 rounds, rigger, 2 flats) the liner saw the least action but your other drill video changed that!
It would help to see what the Brush actually looks like?? flat, round, ????
Nope
thank you i love watercolors so much
Oh wow so interesting. I always end up with the same brushes even though I have so many. Happy holidays, Kristy and thank you for all the wonderful videos you shared with us🥰
The circles look so fun, that will be the first I try. Thank you.
I love these. I learn so much cool stuff here
