I have limited experience painting with a Hake brush, but that's about to change. In this extended video, you'll not only have more to watch while sheltering at home but I'll do two spontaneous demos with a Hake, show you a variety of Hakes that I'm trying and tell you about what I've discovered while using them.

As I said in an earlier comment, it is 2024. I have been watching these videos in sequence from the beginning. All through the 2019 videos, I have known (hindsight obviously) that March 2020 and lockdown were coming. It has been a strange experience, a form of time travel. This is the first video that Steve has spoken of what we then were calling the Corona virus. As I listened, with the perspective of four years, and the grace of having not gotten the virus (grace and super precautions!), I teared up as I heard what Steve had to say. The encouragement, the warmth, the caring, the understanding. I didn’t know, in 2020, that my brother would die from COVID in 2022. None of us knew how many we’d lose. I need the compassion and gentleness that I hear in this video as much today as I ever did. Thank you Steve, for being the person you are. Oh - and in honor of Reese, I’d have named Graham, Peanut! Sorry, Graham, but you are little!

I recently stumbled across your channel, and I have been binge watching. I have been water color painting, on and off, for the past 50+ years as a hobby, an escape from my high stress job drafting. Now that I am retired, you offer a whole new perspective into a world of artistic expression; I really appreciate it.

This popped up on my KZfaq again. I can't believe I watched this the first time round. God dragged me across KZfaq to a great pastor (Chris Rosebrough)whose videos He used to open my eyes and at the same time He introduced me to your videos. There were days I needed to see those verses at the end of every video. Thanks for your hard work, it's helped me develop my skills a lot.

Found you only in March 2024 - better late than never. Glad to learn about « Hake » brushes … did not know that was how they were called. I noticed that You have refined artistic hands - quite pleasant to look at. After all, you have been / remain a designer-illustrator with a 30 year career. It shows in your hands. Thank you for sharing your new learning with us. Looking forward to discovering your channel …

Hello from Italy, Steve: Love your videos and have learned so much...Thank you! I was given a hake from my Aunt who is an artist, but until now haven't know how to use except as a wash brush, so this was so valuable. My husband and I retired to central Italy, some years ago. This is a beautiful country full of beautiful kind people and I want to paint it all. Most Italians have been very diligent , cautious and have tried to help each other, so we feel very safe here.The Italian quarantine is not finished until the first week of May (unless they decided to continue it), but banks and some other businesses are opening on a limited basis this week. Our numbers are continuing to drop daily....because we have followed the rules and stayed home. Yes, folks there is a an end coming, but hang in there and be smart, wise, and stay informed. No better way to spend this time than to practice watercolors and hone your skills with Steve. In the meantime, I have included a video by an Italian pop artist Roby Santini, The Song title is Andra Tutto Bene, which means everything will be good or fine...hope you enjoy it. He made it from home. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLx_frh6mrqRlo0.html Stay well everyone

I bought one of these brushes about a year ago and found it so difficult to use because of the amount of water it holds that I haven't used it more than once or twice. I found this video really very interesting and love the blending effect you got there to make the background look misty. I love that! I really appreciate the time you've taken to create a longer video in this time. I live in Northern Italy and it's a really scary time. Watching videos like yours in this time helps a lot to take my mind off the reality of the situation all around me.Thanks a lot for your great quality content Steve!

Thank you, Steve for your upbeat words of encouragement. Most of the you tube artists I follow are being so very generous offering additional or longer videos. The art world really comes together in times like these. I enjoyed your extra long video....I always have enjoyed any videos you offer....always learn something. I have one, 2" Hake brush by Richeson. It keeps a nice chiseled edge. I guess I'm going to have a try at making a landscape with it. If it doesn't work out, it's okay; at least it will keep me occupied. God bless you and your family and stay safe.

Knowing schools were gearing up to close here in Minnesota (I'm a teacher in a tiny NW MN town) and I'd have a fair amount of free time, I stopped by my nearest art supply store during my last big supply run and finally bought a pad of Arches paper, even though I had half a pad of Strathmore 300 still on my shelf. I'm a pretty raw beginner and last fall I just started putting the paint I could afford on paper my kids had left over from a school project. Wow, are you ever right about 100% cotton paper. I had a blast swatching my (student grade) colors, experimenting with washes and using WAY more water than I'm used to. I even pulled out a sheet of Strathmore and did the same thing so that I could really see a good comparison. I'm so excited to keep working on that Arches to see what I can do!

@callepaints7394 4 жыл бұрын

I know what you mean! When I finally got Arches 3+ years ago I was scared to use it because it felt too "special," but it's so much better for the sort of traditional watercolor I like to do.

I am a hobby watercolour painter recently turned to acrylic and without your videos I don't think i would be going through the pandemic as easy as I am, although tested positive in December along with my whole household we came out of it all clear so thank God for that to. I was only introduced to art in 2011 just 2 years after retiring and it was the saving of me. Now at 77 yrs old I find myself with a whole new life. I have used many tutorial sites and there are many but since I found yours it has become my main goto site for art help but also for relaxing. I live in Ireland just north of Dublin and find it great that I can go all the way to yours without moving from my chair.

After a short foray to the drug store and the grocery store, I was feeling a little put out by the snippy replies I received from the cashier at the grocery store, but I did not respond back in a bad way! Thank goodness! She was probably younger than I am but with totally white hair same as me. On the drive home, it came to me how fortunate I am that I can follow the stay at home order and not have to get out and work during this time and so I'm feeling a little put out with myself now for the feelings I had. We are all in this together and need to be kind to one another. Thank you for your generous sharing of your talent, and for your thoughts! I remember watching Ron Ranson years ago on a PBS channel and I was fascinated with his use of these brushes! I really appreciated this video! :)
