Hi Michele I like the oil pastel and candle wax, very useful. I never use the masking fluid, I like the masking tape you suggested in other videos. Take care and blessings.

Had to try this out ASAP. Discovered that embossing looks extra-nice after gently lifting the area!

Most usefull tips, thanks Michelle. Love the dip pen idea!

Was waiting for the video and voilà 🤗😀. Hope you are feeling better 💙❤️♥️.

A trick I learnt when decorating the house is to make sure you press on the brush sufficiently to absorb any *jitters* one might otherwise have -this is useful when "cutting in" at a ceiling - but it can be applied to watercolour painting.

Here's another little trick to create small marks by lifting. Use an eraser shield and a Mr. Clean Magic eraser sponge to lift small areas of paint.

Your videos are always VERY helpful ❤️ I'm so grateful for your help, I really hope your algorithm reaches Mars. I bought a scalpel some days ago with the purpose of making highlights and ripples, I will try it as well for grasses, what I've used so far is the back point of one of my brushes that's ends in a sharp point. I've heard that some sharpen it on purpose with a pencil sharpener to use it to score the paper but I hate the idea of ruining my brushes, unless they're cheap. I think a stick from the garden could do as well... It's all trial and error when you're learning and that's where the fun is!

My fav is about applying masking fluid with ruling pen. I've always had a difficult time applying the fluid, I'll have to try it this way. I'm so excited that this might fix my problem and get me to use that little bottle of fluid that has been sitting on the shelf unused for half a year! I'll remember not to overdo it and put it on everything though ;)

I am considering a video testing different applicators soon...

I found for the tiniest details, the most affordable tiny brushes are cheap ones intended for model painting (eg. for Warhammer but not their own brand - eBay specials instead). as they don't get much use from me, the lower quality is less important due to the fact they're highly unlikely to get used loads. plus they're often sold in larger quantities.

Loved your tips! I am a multidisciplinary artist and I am back at my watercolour and ink after 20 years without using it. It makes me a good refreshed technique!

I use disposable eyeliner "brushes" I get very reasonably on Amazon for my very delicate line masking fluid work, or sharp points. The tip is like a sponge material or such, not sure. Like a 100 or so to an order, and one order lasts FOREVER. You can wash and reuse or toss them after use.

I have used dip pens some time and they are great though like you said sometimes time consuming. I started using them with ink first but they do work just as well with watercolors and the effect is much softer. The calligraphy tips are useful as well when you wish to make variegated lines. It can be very beautiful and natural when the line is not entirely the same width all the time.

Have you tried using them on wet paint? If they aren't releasing much pigment or making much of a mark it's usually a sign of low quality. Watercolor pencils can be bought seperately from art shops and online, you don't need to get a full set, so you could try a different brand :-)
