Learn how to paint an old barn in watercolor using the 40% value rule. Artists long ago discovered that the sunlit side of an object is a full 40% lighter than the shadow side. This is an invaluable tool for creating believable paintings! If the values work, the painting is almost sure to work as well!

I've been following your youtube on "How to Paint an Old Barn in Watercolor" which I have found to be excellent. But this morning when I tried to look at the demo again it is not appearing. Have the dreaded going around in circle display. Has this demo been discontinued?

Love this!! Do you have a link for the Holbein flat brush?

I wish I did! I've looked for these brushes and I can't find them anywhere in the U.S.( I got mine at a Tom Lynch workshop years ago) I'm sure I could find something comparable if I looked, but I just keep grabbing for these for now...until the thing falls apart anyway! I would look for a flat 3/4" synthetic blend that releases paint and water easily, and that has a nice spring to it! I like Princeton for watercolor brushes and use them most of the time. Im kind of particular about the handles so tend toward the wooden ones when shopping for new brushes...personal preference 😉
