So beautiful! Thanks for technics! I am amateur to paint by my talent, i never been in any painting school and i have discovered later in my life that i love painting and i started with water colour on simply album paper....and these days i've painted some autumnal portraits and i needed some advices...i see that i need to add those shadows looking so real and more layers of nerves and to paint on textured paper! 🍂🖌️🙏 Thank you! God bless you and your family! ✨🤗💕✨

This was so informative thank you. The leaves turned out so beautiful. I’m new to watercolor & always struggle with masking fluid. Could you please share what kind of soap to use on the brush prior to using masking fluid? I looked in the description but it just says hard soap & Im not exactly sure what that means. Thank you for your time 😊

@CrystalBesharaArtist

2 жыл бұрын

Sorry for the late reply! Your message slipped through the cracks. I am using Masters brush cleaning soap but truly any hard bar soap will do avoid using liquid soap and be sure not to apply too much of it to your brush so wiping off excess is an essential step

Great! I've subscribed. Can you use any soap on masking brush? Then will it just wash off afterwards?

@CrystalBesharaArtist

Жыл бұрын

If possible, I would choose hard soap over liquid soap. You still want to make sure that you’re rinsing your brush every minute or so and then re-soap in to protect your bristles each time. Don’t put too much soap on your brush though because you don’t want to contaminate your masking fluid bottle. Thank you for subscribing! 🙌 Here’s another video all about masking fluid kzread.info/dash/bejne/h3qnmqdppbeyhaQ.html

Hi Kathy! Depending on where you live if you can get your hands on Da Vinci watercolors that would be amazing! They are an artist quality line but you get 37 ml instead of five mills which is the typical size for most artist grade paints. They’ll go along way especially if you’re still in the learning phase. Having enough watercolor paint on hand will allow you to freely be creative without hindering you by being overly economical with the paint!

Thanks for sharing I sooo appreciated and enjoyed your video. I do have a question about the colors you were using 🤷‍♀️the burnt umber +violet ..was that two colors or did you buy them already mixed ? If it’s two colors how do I know how much of each color is needed? That confused me. Thanks again 💌

Hi! Yes this is a favourite combo of mine. Really at any ratio they are beautiful! Uust try the, out with a little more and varying degrees of each on a test paper :) Mine here was sort of a mahogany colour. With paint there is no real way of explaining how much of each...not like baking ingredients unfortunately. That said, I have a super nifty COLOUR CHART KIT you can download that shows you a full range with values listed as well. They have been very popular! crystalbeshara.com/shop-color-recipe-charts

Hi there! I’m using masters brush cleaner. But honestly any kind of hard soap would do. It’s a great way to use up little slivers of hard soap that you have left or, tiny hotel soaps!
