My pleasure, and I always think after each hack video is published I can't possibly come up with new ideas, but I have learned a ton since my last one and have a great new hack video coming EVENTUALLY. They take at least three weeks to film and edit but they ARE so much fun!

A little baking soda in the cleaning process works well, too. It's amazing to me what kind of sludge gets imbedded in those bushy-nub bottom spines! (The "bush-washer" has become epic 😂)

Thanks for a "rib tickling" video (that's an old expression). Love all the hacks. I have a water vessel that has ribs on the bottom of it that I purchased eons ago; but, I love your "bush" washing thingy...LOL....I nearly fell off my chair. Thanks for the giggle. I agree, Angela is great. I picked up the watercolor pencil grating trick from my first teacher, many years ago....don't know why I haven't mentioned it on your "hack" videos. I so enjoy your fun videos and you. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge....now to find that masking vessel.

Bush washer: Well, it IS kinda "bushy" looking...But NO JOKE: My thoughtful daughter gave me a Paint Puck as a gift. The base is a "bush washer" 😆 setup with a water container and a top rim with notches as brush-hangers. Best art gift I've ever gotten.

Great hacks! If you are looking for a rich two pigment black; PBk31 and PR122 is my go to…but would also work mixed with PV29 or Quin Violet (PV19). If you use fresh paint (not dried and then re-wet) D.S. Pthalo Blue Red Shade and Transparent Pyrrol Orange make a deep dark black; doesn’t work for me however if the orange has been dried and then re-wet (could just be something w/ DS paint which dries hard for some pigments).

Back to the video…I’m looking into the desk, have put a couple of orders in from this tutorial (thank you!!) and am able to go back to being one of your patreons again. Don’t know whether to start now or wait till the beginning of November. What do you think? BTW … I’ve got my mojo back!!!👏👏. Loving the new tri colored black you’ve come up with…it’s so beautiful and really makes the moon glow!! Can’t wait to try this! Thanks for the hacks and tips!!
