This was a brilliant demonstration and explanation! Thank you Brienne! I wish you'd upload videos on here again, I am currently binging them and already dread the day that I run out!😅 You're a wonderful teacher, and I hope to one day achieve your level of skill. Thank you for passing on your knowledge 🙏

thank you for your informative, perfectly demonstrated, and calmly delivered instructional video. Your research and experience have set my plein air watercolor adventure in a much better direction. It seemed ridiculous to tote glass (and frame up) to events. Do you include varnish in the description of your works in the sticker on the back? As in "watercolor, and varnish" or does that not matter.

The key is, " WATER MANAGEMENT " Control water in the brush and on the paper.

If I were painting a house portrait and wanted an even wash on a house, which consistency would achieve that? Coffee?

I recently found some PVC foam display board at Home Depot. Have you tried mounting paper on this material? I should be very durable.

Hi Brienne! Thank you for your clear instructions. So helpful! The only thing I want to add is that I looked up how to apply Gamblin Cold Wax, and they recommend warming it before applying. I found that it went on smoother this way. Something to consider! Otherwise, keep making more videos. Your paintings are gorgeous and you’re very professional. Thank you again for sharing your expertise.

What is the type of varnish you use over your water colour painting?

If one were to affix unpainted 140 pound watercolor paper to the gator board with the intention of creating the painting after it dries, would there be a risk that the watercolor paper might then buckle or shrink, during or after the painting?
@dq39745 ай бұрын
I’m seeing that gator board is not archival. I would do this technique, but not on Gator Boards!

The value study is key. I think it’s finding a good composition for watercolor is what i struggle with. Excellent overview of the process. Thank you Brienne.

The liquid varnish appears to have tiny bubbles in it when it is wet. Do those pop on their own as it dries? I tried to use it on an acrylic painting once and I brushed and brushed trying to get rid of the bubbles and ended up with brush strokes showing and it made a mess. I quess it was drying as I was doing it and that’s why the brush strokes were visible. I hadn’t sprayed it first tho. Thanks for your video that shows spraying first. That could be a game changer.

This is very interesting! I just finished my first watercolor painting on canvas but I have not done this. Is MDF board the same as gator board?

Hi, thank you so much for sharing. I've recently started painting, so I'm new to this. I'm wondering if using a foam board instead of a gator board would work with this method too. I'm asking because I have some doubts regarding the gel and varnish, and I'm afraid they might cause the painting to warp with the foam board. Again, many thanks

I'm just starting out with watercolour painting and learning the basics when you haven't got money for lessons is kind of frustrating. So to happen upon such a beautifully taught lesson is a godsend. Thank you so very much. Now I know what people are talking about in videos when they say that the consistency of paint is tea, or milk, or cream, and so forth. You are a very good instructor, clear and concise information, beautifully demonstrated. To teach with such clarity makes learning a joy,

Brienne, I have been using this method for awhile but I have reoccurring problems. I glue the watercolor down with acrylic medium , then spray fixatif 4 coats, bit when I apply the varnish with a foam brush, the painting bubbles or buckles and it’s not great for framing then, I’ve tried some different things but it always happens. Do you have any suggestions?
