So I'd love to make the suggestion that maybe the Nextbook have a larger format or at least a bigger font. Thank you for posting this

I would add that it makes so much difference what paint and paper you use to be able to handle the water that way. I tried using some old non-cotton paper and old paints the other day and it was such a fail! So it makes a huge difference using quality paint and paper. Thank you so much, as always, for your wonderful tutorials, Harriet!

Yes but beginners all can’t afford the ridiculous prices nor should they. They need good products at affordable prices because who practices on Arches? Beginners need a lot of practice … and a lot of paper.

@deWintonPaperCo 8 ай бұрын

@@UJB123 that’s exactly why I use an affordable good cotton paper and never use things like arches in my tutorials

@sarahmalm9684 8 ай бұрын

@@UJB123 of course. Everyone has to start somewhere. My point was that you won’t be able to get these effects unless you have the better stuff. I didn’t want people to think they were going to be able to sit down with low supplies and get this quality because I’ve tried and it doesn’t work. I finally found I had to have both. Some cheaper stuff to practice on and then some more expensive to then try after I had practiced.

That is an excellent rule. I saw a watercolor tutorial video once where it said “ it’s not you it’s the paper”. I fixed the paper and things were so much better. Bought Harriets recommended brushes and that was a game changer. Techniques are everything as well and Harriet tells you everything and all you need.

Thanks so much for this video. It's 5:32 a.m. in Texas and I am getting my paints out and trying these lovely Oak leaves. The explanation of the brush use at the different stages of color was so simple and yet, I had never thought about a painting project this way. I am going to start every painting with those suggestions in mind from now on. Very helpful to us beginners for sure!
