    Well this was just freakin' wonderful! 2 Things: 1. This video would be a great addition to your Drills playlist 2. Mind is blown 🤯 by the significance of washing out the brush between blending strokes. No wonder my gradients look so heavy-handed and overworked. I've been skipping this step all along. Thank you so much for making this video. Much appreciated.

    Great tips, I also love adding my shadows and other colors while everything is wet. The colors just blend out nicely then. I also find it helpful to have two brushes on the go, one for placing the color down and a damp one for blending :)

    Hi Emma, thank you so much. That was a lot of help. I usually draw with graphite and in the way past I had done some acrylic but just wasn’t too fond of painting. I have been watching your videos, so I thought I would try my hand at watercolor. I am finding it to be a challenge lol. I of course tried my first picture on something hard 🙄. I painted my dachshund of 18 yrs that has passed on 😢, but I had a struggle with blending. One thing, I used Arches hot press which I’ve found out was a wrong choice so my next dog, my Chihuahua of 17 yrs. which has passed also, I have bought cold press and I’m hoping with that, and this wonderful lesson, will help. So I said all of that to say, THANK YOU for taking the time to share your talent with us all and if you ever feel down and out, just keep going cause I’ll tell you, you are a blessing to us out here that watch you and a lot of us, you never hear from are being blessed by you, you just never know how many people you are touching. You are appreciated!
