So beautiful

Great work!👏🏻

Love the looseness of this. Amazing how that cad red kept bleeding through. Loved all the colors!

Really like this different style, Chris, has a diffused, painterly done quality to it, thank you.

Thanks Chris, a really lovely painting. The dark background works really well, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your next painting.

I loved this, Chris! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us! I learned a lot!

THIS is the way to do an art instructional video! You explain what you're doing, and why you're doing it. Excellent! Thanks.

Thanks Chris. Wet into wet is really fun. Trying to confuse? 300gsm is 140lb, 300lb. Is 640gsm. I had to stop and think a minute there, lol. FA is beautiful paper. Very pricey though, esp. at 300lb. Ouch. Way to precious for me to practice on. Their Studio paper is ok and is a cotton /Wood pulp mix. If I wet both sides it stays open and doesn't buckle being 140lb. Don't get the beautiful diffusion of the FA, but it's not bad. Thanks again.👍

Hi Annette, thanks for watching and the interesting and insightful comments. Your correct, wet into wet is really fun and I used to paint in this style a number of years ago. I have to experiment more with different papers more often. I'm glad you are having good success with your paintings,... thanks again and Happy Painting!

I'm really glad that I read your comment, because I've been trying the wet to wet on the 140 lb paper and my paper keeps buckling and then I get a puddle down the middle. So I'm curious, when you wet both sides of the paper I'm assuming you are not taping the paper down as it would be wet and that would be hard to do? I hope you don't mind my question. Thanks!

Great job! I am a beginner and learned a lot from you. Especially how to manage the water content of the paper. Haven't seen that advice on any other videos. Do you ever soak the excess pigment up with a brush instead of blotting? Overall a nice video/lesson to watch.Thank you for the insights.

it looks like you use a brush that looks like it has a needle nose... maybe it is just the way it looks, but do you have a brush like that? You are so amazing and make your tutorials very user friendly.Stay safe in these challenging times.

Thanks Rhonda, I appreciate your kind words! Yes, that is a red #8 Alvaro Castagnet needle point brush,... every watercolor artist should have this brush...It's necessary for any type of landscape or flower painting!

I love this method and thank you for this beautiful tutorial. I have 140 lb paper and noticed you used 300 lb. I wonder if I can work this same way without the paper buckling so much where I can't control the different pigments movement?

@cpetri766

140 can work two by repeatedly wetting the back of the paper as we work on our paintings…this way it stays flat ,… works really well on Masonite or more plastic type working boards.

Chris, great video, thank you. I am in need of a rigger brush and would like to know the exact kind you use (used at 37 minutes into this video). Would you be so kind as to provide this info? Thank you
