Hello. You are so generous with your time and talent. Thank you for your leadership. I was hoping you might tell me how to prepare 300gsm Arches paper? Do you tape it down without stretching it? How do you stretch it if you do. If you have addressed this previously, could you direct me? Thank you for your time and beautiful paintings. I look forward to painting along with you.

Thank you. I got it at my local store. It’s just a ceramic pot for bits but I like it as it’s nice and small x
Can't wait to try this -- but what size paper are you using and what size and orientation is the drawing? Mine is trying to come out 8x11 when I print and it doesn't look right. Thanks!

Hi. It’s about A4 size and landscape
I’m not new to watercolor, just new to botanical watercolor. I’d like to get the right brushes the first time around. I noted that you use the Mary &Co red dot spotters but in more recent videos I noticed the snowdrop brushes are recommended. Which should I order?
@helencampbell
Жыл бұрын
Spotters are great if new to watercolour as the make application easier but not as pointed so not great for fine detail if you enjoy precision. Snowdrops are great all round so I’d go for those

Hi Brenda. Usually around A4
Dear Helen, I'm wondering if you could possibly consider adding a link to the image here in KZread. Unfortunately, I am unable to use Facebook, and therefore can't access the images you use to paint along with you. I hope this is not a terrible expectation for you - please forgive, if it is. Many thanks for your consideration - Dr. Mac

Sadly no. That’s why we now put our newer ones on Patreon. We have a free membership level so that you can access them there. The older ones won’t be there but when you join drop me a message and I can post it to you. The system won’t allow it here unless I put in Google drive and it gets too complicated

Hi Kathy. I see that you’ve joined Patreon. Please send me a direct message there and I’ll get in touch with the outline. Just to let you know that you will receive new outlines as and when we release them. Usually it’s every Tuesday but this week we have freestyle so there won’t be one this week but ordinarily just keep an eye out and you’ll have it delivered to your inbox.
