Thanks Louise! Very helpful, as always! For question #5, it could also be the paint. When I swatch a new paint, I include a test of how the pigment "moves" on a wet surface. I typically use the pale (diluted) end of my gradient swatch for this: while it's still wet, I go back to my palette and dip the tip of my brush in the concentrated paint, then dot the wet area with a few spots to see if it runs (or bleeds), and how much. I have been surprised at the difference between some paints and other paints,for this. It's worth exploring with all you paints: see what they do!😀

QOR watercolor paints spread really well because they use Aquazol as a binder. They also don’t fade as much when the paint dries so they have improved vibrancy.

A credible KZfaqr/ watercolor blogger/tester has mentioned her tests with UV glass not making significant differences in helping preserve paints in sunlight. She mentioned that the only glass that would likely make the difference would be museum quality, which is not cost effective for most artists. Paint lightfastness ratings are more important in this regard, but even so, many have noted that their own lightfastness tests don’t match what the manufacturer has rated, including Handprint’s website. Love your videos and passion for painting :)

Excellent information, regardless of skill level. I have been using transfer paper for years, and am surprised that anyone still remembers "old fashioned' carbon paper. (Hey, when I was a kid, I actually had to change typewriter ribbons!) If I may offer a tip for transfer paper, the quality of the image varies with the tooth of the paper. It is easy to transfer an image on hot press or cold press, but rough (with more tooth) one has to press very hard to transfer the image. Due to the hills and valleys, there are a lot of "skipped' areas. As the paper is used, one must press harder to get the image.

Ahhh thanks so much for sharing your answer to these great questions, especially #2 & #3. I didn’t know that you could do a graphite tracing before stretching the paper because of using a light box. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information with us.

Hi, I haven't been getting the notices when a new video is up. I heard they favor channels who post regular shorts. A quick way to have a short is use an excerpt for the comming video or just announce the up coming video. Hope this helps. I miss getting my notices.

Interesting! Thanks for letting me know. Are you subscribed to the channel? I think you'll get them in your feed if you subscribe and you only get a notification if you hit the bell.

Here's my question. How do you keep Leo's hair off your paper as you paint. I have 2 big dogs, I vacuum all the time, I even use a roller on my clothes before I start painting. But alas stray hairs find their way in.

That is a problem .....lol. My answer - I don't. He's usually not in the studio when I paint. He's too naughty- getting into everything. We bring him down to the studio when we film occasionally.

Can you post a link to the pencils and transfer paper. I have black transfer paper sheet. this may be easier on a roll instead of a sheet. And less messy.
