  Yes, this technique is only for natural hair brushes. The type of plastic that is used to make the bristles of artificial brushes cannot absorb the moisture from the conditioner, and when you are seeing the bristles out of shape with the naked eye, the plastic has actually fractured or broken at the microscopic level, and cannot be repaired/refreshed. That is part of the reason for the huge price disparity between the types of brushes.

  What a wonderful exercise!! I love greens and this tutorial is wonderful. I understand that you have to start from different color palettes with 3 different “primaries” but with the same yellow color as a base in order to achieve different greens?

  i mean....you can mix a lot of greens, but there's a few buts. first off, phtalo green is a very versatile color, and you can manipulate it easily with just adding one extra color to have a huge range of uses, be it a blue for more of a beautiful sea green or turquoise, a yellow to make some intense grassy greens, or quinacridone rose to make neutral tint and have your darkest dark without using black or payne's gray. There's no reason to not have it in your palette beyond being a puritan about double primaries haha. Then there's greenish single pigment variations like azo green py129 or winsor newton's aqua green (unregistered single phtalo pigment, WnN are the only manufacturer of this color), which both have tonal shifts in tints that are beautiful and you'll have a hard time replicating if at all. Add to that the fact that yellows are often times opaque or semi transparent, and you'll get some muddiness or granulation in those mixtures with blue (specially if you are using ultramarine or cobalt instead of phtalo blue). It is an effect you may be going for, but if you want translucent luminous tints in your glazes, phtalos and quinacridones are your best friends since they are the ones with the higher tinting strength, highest transparency, and most unique and intense hues (not to mention lightfastness). And those, come mostly in three groups: blues, green and roses/magentas. There is no point in skipping some variation of a phtalo green in your palette, be it yellow or blue shade or something like winsor's aqua green. It's a situation similar to that of po73, pyrrol orange, you simply cannot replicate that orange hue in watercolor with just yellow and red, even though you would be technically mixing an orange, and is just such a useful pigment to have in your palette, very versatile. On top of that, once you know what you are using and liking the most, convenience mixtures are such a time and resource saver (way less paint wasted rinsing that brush to not tint your yellow pan lol, way less waste in mixing way more than you need just trying to reach the right hue, etc, when you can start halfway there and adjust accordingly.), and the time saving aspect helps when doing wet washes and wet into wet effects too, specially if you are covering a bigger area like a background and not just a small corner of a sketch, since your paper will start to dry. Anyhow, i'm saying all this as a college educated professional artist, who also knew a variety of views from different generations and proffessors regarding this issue, from the most puritan of older folk to some more flexible people haha. and yeah, start your palette with a set of double primaries, then expand! never stop trying new paints, and to make the most of your money aim for single pigment colors unless you know which convenience mixture you are aiming for. Anyhow...you don't need a bunch of greens, but absolutely do not close the door on them; chose them wisely. Don't buy them without checking the pigments in it beforehand, but don't just disregard them all or you'll be missing out for no reason really, unless you truly are on that tight of a budget then sure.

  thank you so much for your thoughtful comments on the matter of colors in our palettes. Of course, as I state in the beginning of my video on the subject of colors, and especially greens, everyone can put whatever colors they want on their palettes and there is no "right or wrong" color, just personal preference and budget restraints. However, when first learning to paint with watercolor, or any medium for that matter, it does help if you keep your colors simple, and start with the basics, such as the primary colors. As you get more understanding of how colors mix and mingle, you can add to your color palette, as you get more confident and learn your own particular preferences. It's such a fun way to learn both about colors, but also about yourself. On the subject of yellow, you are right, most of them are pretty opaque - that's why I still to this day am a huge fan of PY 150 transparent yellow. Looks ugly in the palette, but glorious on the paper and a wonderful mixing color, as it doesn't "muddy" the other colors. Let's keep having fun exploring colors!

  Yes with a standard window/opening of 11”x 14” - or you can also choose to have a custom 11” x 15” window cut, if that works better for your painting. Or, you can choose to “float “ your painting on a 16” x 20” mat, so the deckled edges of your painting show. I personally really like this look. Have fun experimenting to see what works best for your painting style.

  How do you know if a watercolor is single pigment or not? I looked up that peacock blue and it doesn't say anywhere on the tube that it uses multiple pigments.

• 
  @EvaNichols285 ай бұрын

  It should say on the tube of the watercolor. PB + a number for blue pigments, PY + a number for yellow pigments, etc. All high quality brands have this information on the tubes. Alternatively you can go on their websites and look up their color chart where you can also find this information. If there is more than one color code you know that the color was created with several pigments. It’s not a bad thing, just good to know. Hope this helps.
