Very useful videos! Thanks!!!

Super helpful video, thank you

thank you so much.

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.

Can you wax a watercolor on paper and then frame behind glass

Great video! Love your work ❤ I tend to get bubbles in my liquitex brush on varnish.How do you deal with that? Thank you.

I learnt heaps. So informative. Thankyou .

You can be my teacher anytime!! What a great video!! And you’re easy to follow and listen to as you move along!! None of that, “yadda, yadda, yadda!! I turn off most videos just because of that!!! Thank you!!

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

Does using the acrylic medium affect the absorbency of the watercolour paper?

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

I'm just learning to paint with watercolours and this will help me very much. Thank you Val Weaver

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?

I’m seeing that gator board is not archival. I would do this technique, but not on Gator Boards!

This video dated 2022... 😮 Is everything alright with you??? Why there are no new paintings??? No videos... 😮

This is amazingly helpful for me being a beginner watercolorist. Thank you so much!

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.

❤ beautiful watercolor! What blue did you use for your sky and clouds?

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?

thanks, Brienne. your descriptions are so easy to follow.

Dear Brienne, Thank you for your theoretical and practice lessons ||| Alex.

great video, thanks! When you do 10 at a time, do you stack them up under your weight to dry?

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,

Wonderful!!! Absolutely love this. You explained this perfectly and I’ve learned so much. Thank you 😊

Best tutorial on KZfaq in this topic

Merci!

Beautiful!

I have learned more from you in 20 minutes than anyone else in months and months of trying. Nobody ever explained the wet dry contrast and paint consistency so well.

Thank you. I recently discovered your work and kive then. You are so generous with these videos and knowledge sharing. 🙏🏼👍🏼🙏🏽

That was great instruction…thank you!

Thank you Brianne! Great information, well said!

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Ahh, I love working with calligraphy brushes ❤

This was fantastic! I know this info will make a big difference for me. Thank you❣️

As soon as you cover the watercolor with clear semigloss acrylic medium, does the piece become mixed media instead of watercolor? Thanks for the video!

Wow, thanks for your help.

This is fantastic! As a teaching watercolor artist, this is really key! I talk about it in the beginning session of all of my online classes. Thank you!

Love ya

What happens when you use the 300gsm paper on board?

Can this technique be used for pastels?

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?

Great video, I look forward to experimenting and trying this!

What a great great instructional video. You are a natural teacher. Thanks.
