I even took a one stroke class at Michael's. You are by far the best at teaching this style of painting! You take your time and explain it so every beginning can understand it! THANK YOU!

I do have one question, April. I tried to follow your Plumeria video today. What I have the most problem, believe it or not, is loading my brush. No matter how I try I always "muddy" my colors. I will load white in one corner and burgundy in the other but no matter what I do, I never can keep the white from blending in with the other color. It truly is driving me nuts...lol..! What am I doing wrong....?
@aprilnumamoto80568 жыл бұрын
+Johanna Kohn There are couple of reasons why your colors are mudding. Check and make sure it's not any of these reasons. If it isn't, letm. 1. when picking up the paint on the corners of your brush, make sure the colors are not running into each other. 2. when blending your colors make sure you go right on top of the same colors as you blend. 3. Make sure you're not picking up too much of the medium. Too much of the medium with cause the colors to mix together. 4. There's not water in the brush when loading the brush. Most likely it's one of these reasons. Hope that helps. Thanks!
