Dear Helen, thank you so much for all your videos. Been binge watching as I just can't help myself due to the way you present everything in such great detail and your soothing voice really calms me! I just recently learned that you're a self taught artist which is a total inspiration. Just wanted to take a moment to appreciate your hardwork. Thank you ❤

As I’m watching you apply your initial layers of paint, it reminds me of hot press paper. Do you ever use hot press? I purchased a block of Fabriano for an online course, and I just cannot enjoy using it because it’s so much harder to blend. I know this is going to be beautiful, but it is kind of blotchy to start.

Hi Anne. I do use hot pressed but like you, I don’t get on with it for the reasons you’ve stated. It’s difficult to get a smooth blend. For me anyway

@@helencampbell Thank you! I found a wonderful book by Susan Harrison-Tustain (her paintings are fabulous) who only uses hot press. I thought that might help me out. I think the problem for me is that while I love detail, and I greatly admire her paintings, that would be so much work for me that it would take away a lot of the pleasure I get from watercolor. Your paintings are also beautiful, and I so much appreciate that you teach in a way that allows a lot of students to be successful. Thank you for breaking things down, and all of the wonderful images you provide. AND, I also purchased the set of Rosemary & Co. Spotter brushes you recommended. I’m in the U.S., so I pay extra for shipping, but they are still very reasonably priced, and great brushes!
