 Hey Ian, how are you? Sorry for that slight couple minute delay there. We Had some potential. I don't know camera issues. I don't know if it was Googler. I don't know But it wasn't recognizing the webcam. How are you? Oh, whoops, sorry for the slight couple minute delay there We we do not need to hear myself for more than once All right So we are good and we're ready to go. Hello Hey antbex creations, how are you? All right, so we got that little hiccups straight now I got a couple of requests for today and Hey Kathy, I have no idea how they're gonna turn out, but we're gonna try them. I don't know one of them was for This is the journal we've been working in one of them was for I shared a link to her channel in the description of This video may marry small art her name is Marta and she did one recently where Only where she did Danny Lyons out of a Toilet paper roll and It was a really interesting video if you haven't seen it yet go watch it When of course when we're done here Nations we've been doing that for like a year so I feel for you and your husband My husband wants to do the flooring which I'm dreading because we have to like basically move out of the house Which is gonna Yeah, yeah, I don't know and Marie. Hello Linda. Hello, Mary. Hello All right, so first we're gonna tackle the dandelions now again if you haven't seen her video Let me know I did get asked about doing these dandelions and if we could do them in watercolor The answer is I don't know but we're gonna try So I think that if you're gonna try This technique that she has that she does an acrylic paint. You're probably better off using a tube of watercolor Rather than something dry out of the pan, I think that you want something that's pretty Strongly pigmented This is a van go. This is yellow permanent yellow green Hey, Rhonda So I'm gonna just put a little bit of this goes a really long way So you don't need too much I'm gonna get a big flat brush here And I'm gonna add a little bit of water to it Not too much The reason for using the tube watercolor rather than something else is because it's really strong strongly pigmented so I picked out three colors this yellow green a turquoise and then One of the liquid pencil graphite Rewedible paints in gray number three So we're gonna try this and basically you just take a paper tube And you cut a bunch of slits in one end so that when you dip you dip it in the paint And then when you push down on it, it spreads out and creates a dandelion shape now This may be way too long And this is just a piece of plastic that I cut up because it's what I had and it is way too long So I'm gonna give it a haircut here. It's just a random piece of trash honestly that was in my art room I didn't have a tube and the idea of using a paper towel roll I mean a toilet paper roll gives me the heebie-jeebies because of the germs I am a kind of a germaphobe for those who don't know And I don't have a spare paper towel roll so I made a roll Hey, Britta, how are you? All right, so the first thing I'm going to do is kind of bend my little Slits that I cut in this like back on themselves He's like open like that There's a little piece here. I need to trim Okay, so we have something that looks like that All right, and then we're gonna dip it in the paint and I have no idea again I don't know if this is gonna work I got a little dry there while we were waiting and this is plastic She does it with a paper roll. So I don't know, you know, how well this is gonna work If it's gonna work at all It's interesting You do want him to like Yeah, you do want him to sort of push out a little bit so maybe I bent him outwards too far Yeah, okay Then I'm going to get some of the turquoise Sorry, Ian, I don't know the picture is great today, but you know when I when I start off with It doesn't Bode well, you know Mary. I will zoom in hang on Okay, that should be pretty zoomed in okay, so now I'm gonna do the same thing to the next color, which is Turquoise and I'm gonna put some water in it and again We're using it straight out of the tube just a little bit of it and look at look at look at that color you guys It's really these bright colors out of the tube are very bright Yeah, so you want to I think use several colors because I think you're gonna get Something really interesting if you do Okay, and then I'm gonna take one of my smaller brushes. This is a Philbert It's a Philbert number 10 and I'm going to just very very lightly because this is all about the mark From the tube and not about anything else. I'm going to add a water Make the paint bleed Maybe add a little bit of paint if I think I need to I Don't really think I need to too much That sure is really pretty And I can do that hang on a second you everybody Just a second if you could know if I can do it while we're live Cuz I don't know if I remember how No, I don't remember how right now Ian remind I see you Cindy Yeah, so she used to toilet paper roll. I'm not this is a piece of plastic. It's literally from the bottom of It's that little piece of plastic from the bottom of the grocery store reusable grocery store bag Canvas bag. That's all this is All right, I'm gonna take my little tiny brush here If somebody Can remind me where to add moderators on your YouTube channel I can go real quick and add Ian and he can help out with comments and stuff So I would also drag some of your colors down to create like a stem like that and I like these a lot I do think we need to add a little bit of the gray But I think I want to dry this first because I don't think I want the Graphite color to blend with these other colors that are on here. Oh Hang on. It's hard to talk over the dryer So Brita, I agree with you it would hold the paint better and the two kinds of tubes are going to work differently also depending on the kind of paint You're using so if you're using watercolor, it's going to work differently than if you're using acrylic I this is just what I had a handy laying around That's why I used it. I need to get out a different. That's too big. Hold on a clean plate So yeah, you don't have to have Toilet paper roll or paper towel roll you can make one out of just thin cardboard Like Brita is saying and some of the rest of you are saying you can just make a roll If the roll was made out of paper, I would be concerned that oh, there was there's going to be some blue in there That's okay. I would be concerned that it would suck up the watercolor because The nature of watercolor and the fact that you're trying to do it with a porous surface Which is another reason why I chose a plastic not to mention the fact that it was just handy and I kind of wanted to You know have a light touch with it. I didn't want to you know, have the paint go on there too dark Oh, I really like this and you could do it in different sizes I just quickly threw this one together, but you definitely could Do it in different sizes that is so cute Really easy, this is really really easy you guys now I would You know, I got some accidental drips on here, but I kind of like them so we're going to add more Yeah, so a package bow with really thin ribbons There's a lot of things if you just look around your house that you could actually make something like this out of or That you already have that has loopy bits on it or something that you could make something like this out of and look at the cute Literally, I threw this together like five minutes ago And You know Marta has a really fun channel. She's got lots of really great inspiration on her channel Unusual ways of doing things you guys should all check out. There's a couple other people that I know of but they're not on YouTube But she's definitely one of those that has a different take on things. So this was a lot of fun Yeah, I really love the way this looks I'm going to dry this because we're going to actually try a couple of different things You definitely could add glitter Brita. How many of you have those glitter pens? What are those glitter pens? Oh, I think of Stella pens. Do I have one in the right color? Probably Think of Stella pens come in a brush tip that everybody is familiar with they also come in a fine tip though by there by zig and There are just a glitter a glitter pen And this one is green So I would pick some of the bits on here that are already green and just and you could do this if you don't have a glitter pen What about a pencil? Don't make all your lines even you want it to be uneven and Airy don't also don't put too many lines but you probably won't be able to see this on camera even if I do hold it up because It probably the glitter is not going to really show up very well on camera But you have to trust me it has a little bit of glitter and shine to it I have no idea if you're going to see this or not, but how cute is that and so easy? Yeah, okay, Brita my man's been saying that for a long time So tell him to join the club Hey, Katie. All right, so let's turn the channel. I mean the channel. Hello. Oh my god wait caffeine iced tea hold on now I got asked about Dry brushing with watercolors Which is another interesting question and something again? I haven't tried before now these paints on here are perfectly fine You can let them dry. I did put the blue and green together because if they mix it's not a big deal You can re-wet these if after they dry just put some water on there and keep painting And we may use some of these in the next painting. So we'll see So I got asked about dry brushing with watercolor and So we're gonna give that a try something else. I've never tried. I've done it with acrylic. This is a moleskin watercolor journal and What size it is does it say inside? Nope, I want to say it's like I don't know five by eight But it's a moleskin watercolor journal But any water if you're just if you're just practicing and trying and starting out any inexpensive watercolor paper Will work You can also use mixed media paper, but watercolor paper works better. I'm in the midst of somebody said they were cleaning who was cleaning I'm in the midst of cleaning too in my My office is a disaster You know, you just get in the habit of just dumping things in certain places and after a while you have to stop dumping and actually put them away I'm at that place. All right, so we are gonna work on this picture Which is from the my year Facebook group The description below my year 2017 Sprinkly, yeah This is from the weekly art challenge This is one of the winning photos and I honestly wasn't going to try to paint this photo. I thought about using it in collage or something Rhonda, that's what you said And effects. Yeah, so I'm I'm just rearranging a few things You know things pile up for a while and then then you realize that the piles are way too big and so you have to fix it I'm at that point Anyway, I wasn't gonna paint this one. I thought about maybe Using it for collage or something. I really love the colors in it But I got asked by a couple of different people one of them being Maraudel Abrams who is here in the Marriottelier So it's kind of her fault If I could do this one and do some dry brushing techniques So I'm gonna try that First we're gonna do a little bit of a sketch Because I always start out with a sketch No room on my table because why would I have room on my table? Hello. Oh My goodness Had to be able to prop the photo up somewhere. I've got some other watercolors here that we might use I'm gonna prop the iPad up so it's out of the way. Yeah, I'm gonna be finding treasures too. I'm sure Things I've forgotten I had and I'm already messy Yeah Well, and the dandy lions are Cindy's fault Cindy utter. It's her fault So the first thing I'm gonna do is just I'm gonna just sketch out in pencil the basic shapes. I see on the photo This is a Stabilo all Pencil which is water soluble and this is the graphite color So these are some weathered boards with a rusty lock on them I didn't think it was too hard and I did see your comment there funny man I just I don't know. I just I don't know That's a little tilted too much compared to the photo, but I'm gonna just let it go Because I feel like it So I got to tell you guys I was Reading and catching up on that sort of thing when I got home from the gym. I almost forgot about going live today It just seems like it's one of those days, you know I see the chat going crazy But hey, you guys got to hang on a second because I'm just doing the sketching bit right now So if you can and you want to join it that one of my Facebook groups like my year 2017 where this inspiration photo is from Where my other Facebook group or you want to shop in my Etsy store to support my channel the links for all of that Are in the video description, so please check it out We'll go through that while I'm sketching and Also my happy mail address where you can send happy mail and all that stuff is down there. This is a Derwent Just regular color pencil in Kingfisher blue and this is not gonna move when I start watercoloring. This is gonna stay I'm okay with that Hey, Terry. How are you? If anybody remembers where it is on YouTube that I go add admins, I can add in really quick. I Just don't want to leave you all hanging while I'm fishing around on YouTube trying to figure out where that is Because I don't remember Okay, so that's just our basic sketch. I might do this This is a C 920 Lot by Logitech and it does have autofocus, but I turn it on so it doesn't go in and out in and out in and out Yeah, let me let me see. Hang on a second. Okay, Brita. Thank you. Ian. You're now a moderator. Ah It is a Derwent. It is the Derwent artists range of pencils I like Derwent is my preferred pencil brand. I have a lot of pencil brands, but I preferred Derwent I Have a spectrum noir also I don't care for prismacolors. I know that's like some kind of sin or something I actually sold all my prismacolors or gave them away because I don't care for them All right. So we got that now. We're gonna take the we're gonna start with the filbert brush Yeah, you know, Ian is like, you know, I have my three art sisters even Ian's sort of becoming our art brother. So Um, you know, I'm okay with him helping out All right, so I'm good. I'm well I'm okay. I won't say I'm good. I'm okay. You know, it's that time of year For like all your doctor visits and stuff, right? So, you know, like the next two months Is gonna be just, you know It's not gonna be fun to dry brush just means you have very little paint on your brush. Your brush is pretty dry There's not a lot of water only a little paint on it Um, and that's a challenge with watercolor because with watercolor. Well You know, you use water. So, um, we're gonna try this. I've again never done this So I have no idea if it's gonna work. I'm gonna start light, of course and work my way darker That's what we always do. I'm gonna actually start with buff. This is the muted palette Smith and m-gram paints in it Um, I already got them pre wet And then I'm going to like blot off most of the paint Off the brush. So it's pretty dry Yeah, and I'm going to then just Lightly Run it down my page and again, you just want to have very little paint on there and I'm looking at the inspiration photo And the parts of the photo that are um lighter You can in yay And should we get any crazy spammers or bullies? You can also kick them out Not that any of you are going to do that because we don't normally have that on this channel So I'm going to just keep doing this I do think this picture of this weathered wood would be a fabulous one to use as collage Um, I'll see if I can zoom in more mary. I don't know how far much farther I can zoom in That's it. Let's see. I don't know what that looks like Oh, there we go That's it. That's as far as I can zoom in you're crazy terry. Okay terry. We're all a little crazy So I think yeah the the toilet paper roll dany lions You know, you don't have to again have a paper roll. You could make one I did mine out of plastic. You could make it out of cardboard as far as we can zoom in. I can't zoom anymore Not with that. I have to I shouldn't say that I can I have to physically move the camera But it's a logitech c920. I know that was asked. I think I already answered it and it's a really it's an hd webcam Cable from my desktop Exactly. All right. So now we're going to go a little darker and I'm going to pick french ochre And I'm going to just put it right here where my um buff color is As soon as I get a decent amount of it out of the pan There we go And again, I'm just going to blot it off So we have a virtually dry brush. So there's not a lot of paint on it and I'm also barely Barely touching it to the wood I don't know what I'm painting out today Uh To the paper And if the graphite which is water soluble activates, I'm okay with that Yes, and also don't forget to check your Um resolution in youtube you can adjust your resolution on your youtube screen Um to be instead of auto or to be a low resolution the highest one it'll let you click Which is usually like 720? Well for me, it's usually 720 That was a little too wet that brush Paint paints are a giant sinkhole once you go down the paint Hole you don't ever come out You just collect more and more An ochre let's actually let's go kind of a lot darker. Let's go to quinoa credo and gold That's really bright, right? I'm going to rinse my brush off so it's clean And then I'm going to just pick up a little bit Go always start lighter and always work your way darker. You can't take it back with watercolor not easily So be mindful of that and put a little bit on If you you know want to do something that's more blendy or more puddley Just get back in there while it's Completely dries with some clear water Make sure to constantly dry my brush off if we're trying to do this a dry brushing It is fun to challenge yourself to do these things sometimes to you know I have you know to try and do you know some technique that you do In other mediums, you know, I wonder if I can do that in watercolor or I wonder if I can do that with markers Just give it a try. What's the worst that can happen? Now i'm not going to try to like match the you know every stain on the wood exactly I just want to get the flavor of it going here. There's like rust puddling around the keyhole, so what's Suggest that Yeah, don't forget your cup of tea and you know, I don't Some of you know my asthma has been acting up lately. I actually have one of the doctors appointments I have to do in the next couple months is Back to the breathing doctors. Um Anyway, I always have tea or something nearby because it helps I like it helps. I don't know if it really is helping I just maybe think it is So again because we're working with watercolor and we're trying to mimic the look of dry brushing Um, besides not having very much paint or water on the brush. I'm also not touching it to the paper very hard So I'm now going to go into a roasted french ochre, which has got a lot of red in it Um, which I think will lend itself very well to this painting And what's going on with this painting? Oh, see what I love watercolor because I find it challenging I Also like how portable it is Hey, and So for those that don't know ian, um jackson is the one who assists us And or runs Um, he assists us over in my year 2017. He also is the one that runs the weekly art challenge For those that don't know If you don't like it, it's his fault And So I am going to start up here with the lock and the bar And put some of this red up here and i'm just going to tap it in It's very rusty modeled metal And i'm going to just tap it in to give mimic the texture He's the only guy on our team the poor poor guy I think I've kind of feel sorry for him And i'm going to go into, um permanent brown Which is even darker look how can you all oh you can't see that So look how dark that is dark and red It's a beautiful red brown color He's he's a very brave guy. You're right So again, I am barely touching My paper i'm not going to go too far before i'm going to rinse my brush off And i'm going to come back for some of this And i'm going to add some water You could probably try to do the whole painting with just the dry brushing, but that's not me and That's probably not going to happen Hey, Diane I am going to put some in over here Start to mimic some of the pitting That's going on in the metal Any inspiration photo Yep, we did We did in you're so funny. We did Ian did The rest of us have nothing to do with it. He does a great job Credit for it at least I can't Other than spreading the word and painting a few pictures. I can't really take any credit So they're all these like cracks in the wood and Marks in the wood. So I want to try to suggest some of them With marks that I'm making on the paper So now we're going to go we're going to keep going towards the cool We started out with a very warm light bright color and we're going to keep working our way towards the cool colors So now we're going to take some of the blues And I think we're actually going to use these blues that were on our plate from the dandelions earlier And i'm going to sort of mix the blue And the green together and get something that's sort of a Blue, you know, obviously blue-green turquoisey color We'll just use these are here We're going to Tap the brush off so it's pretty dry And we are going to look at our picture I'm gonna you don't want drips of water on your ferrule when you're doing this and have them Show up on your painting somewhere where you don't want them to be Now some of this wood in this picture inspiration photo is white So when i'm doing this, I want to be really conscious of leaving White space, which i'm not always very good at But you definitely want to do that here Hanging clothes, what is that? We have the it seems like we have the Perpetual clean laundry mountain in our house Which is funny we used to blame it on our daughter, but you know, she's moved out and she's an adult and it's still happening So we can't blame it on her So we are back to the dry brushing It's a really great way to get the to simulate the texture or suggest the texture of the wood In this photo I have to do laundry One of the things I have to do today See I'm gonna put some right here And I love to use the filbert brush for things like this because you get an interesting texture with the brush And it doesn't leave a harsh straight line it, you know, there's because the end is curved I saw that Ian is answering questions. Perfect. Thank you, Ian Okay, I'm we're gonna switch brushes for a minute and I'm going to be um Using the round one But the same colors of paint the same color I should say of paint that we were using I'm gonna put some here on the lock And I saw your message and I can still add you although we're mid-broadcast if you want me to It just takes a second Now I know I do know as I'm doing this we've lost a few of our lines, but just trust me Y'all should know that by now Okay So now we're gonna take and we're gonna I'm just gonna move the plate around and I'm gonna Take something that still has some of that Green. Okay. No problem. And I'm gonna take something that has more the blue and less of the green And I'm looking at the photo where all the shadows are And I'm not you know again and again you should all know this by now. I'm not looking to copy it exactly I am just looking to suggest right I did just blot some of the paint off on my Reg and I'm using just the tip of the paint brush. I'm not Pushing very hard. I'm just gliding almost dry brushing with a round brush if that's possible Suggesting lines suggesting shapes I'm going to Put some down here Yeah, I'm not always good about thinking ahead of time about the negative space But yeah, if you just paint around something to bring around something to bring it out instead of trying to paint it If that makes sense Which is what we're trying to do up here Now this color is a darker cooler Color than the mixture with the green in it Which warms it up And again, we're not getting too far before we're getting back with the water and we're blending it out now Just a little bit That helps to create our shadows or suggest our shadows I am referring constantly back to the inspiration photo So I can see where those shadows are and where the light is coming from So I know which way to blend my colors Okay, so we're going to go back to our palette over here And I'm going to grab some prussian blue Which is a dark blue blue so I can be very much a perfectionist when it comes to myself and Learning about art and doing art has focused forced me to let go of that and to focus on other things um, so you Might surprise yourself So again, I'm barely touching the Pen page whatever. What is this brush to the paper? Um, I am really using a light of touch as possible I can always add more But to take it back you really need to go in there with acrylic paint or gouache Or a gel pen which we might do I'm not opposed to doing that So this this blue is this prussian blue is a pretty cool Color, so it's it'll do a great job at suggesting the shadows Violet's also a great color I I have a lot of had half had a lot of caffeine today. So drawing a straight lines probably Beyond me at the moment and let's see show you the inspiration photo in a minute My drawing is actually a little off that I'm okay with that If you're near and Aaron brothers art and framing They are having um one of their annual bogos sales right now buy one get one for a penny Paint and paint brushes most importantly So, um, if you need to replace some brushes because they're a bit past it It's a good time to go do that paint straight out of the palette because it's Doesn't have much water in it. So and I want the full pigment strength And I love the challenge of trying to keep these this painting in the colors Of the original photograph which are the are these beachy colors And not pulling in any, you know violet or anything That's a challenge in itself for me But I like these colors so so i'm going to go in here and see if I can Fix the lock And make it stand out a bit from its background I think my paintbrush has a stray bristle that's like sticking out sideways It's kind of making me crazy That's actually not bad And let's see. Yeah, there is one like stray bristle That's kind of make me insane you guys wait And of course I don't have my reading glasses on did I get it? Yeah, I think I got it I just trimmed them off. I know you're not supposed to but Hey, Lisa You can so you can take these inspiration photos and I want to remind everybody you can do anything with them You can paint them. You can collage with them. You can make beads out of them. You can do whatever you want with them You don't have to paint them so those of you who are thinking well, this is all well and good But I don't paint and I don't draw but you don't have to I dripped on the thing so let's see if we can get rid of it. I've got a dribble Straight hair chop. I know right? It's like trying to find the lady chin here You know when you're half blind and can't see it With reading glasses and the magnifying mirror I know some of you know what I mean So i'm going to go back to the buff color All right, so you can definitely of course use a gel pen, but you can just use regular acrylic paint So just add a couple highlights. Let me get a brush that's not past it. All right Um, well good for you britta I can't say that I'm not old, but yeah, I got the old lady chin here going on. Um Cut my fingers sewn my fingers You know more than once So this is I grabbed an acrylic brush and this is just plain old titanium white acrylic paint This is um, daylar. Uh, yeah daylar rowney. Um, this is from hobby lobby. Just you know craft paint will work So what I want to do is come back in here lightly And add in some of the highlights that I kind of lost because I have this tendency to get crazy with the Uh watercolor Paint and this was out because I already was doing something else And it doesn't take much to just add that those couple of little highlights That'll just really make your painting white pop and I've talked about this before at some point. I for I start forgetting to Look at the inspiration photo and I just look at my painting And I just start to do what works for the painting not necessarily what works for the photo And I don't know if that's good or bad. That's just how I work I like So there you go dry brushing with watercolor paints. This is for those that missed it Oh So you all can see the inspiration photo That's because a mess again Big surprise Hang on. Oh, there you go You can see where I put more of an angle on my lock than is in the photo, but that's all right. I'm all right with it So britta, I also um poke myself and actually test my blood sugar on a regular basis. I'm not diabetic, but Most people in my family are and on the last few years since I attracted I should say contracted asthma My blood sugar has been So I stick my fingers on a regular basis every morning Oh, see and you know cindy udder who had to leave She um Lives near golden So I need to go visit her Oh, Ian if you get to go in and learn how they make brushes you should film that for the rest of us who can't get there Britta, I am glad we are all here to encourage you and give you inspiration for your channel To do the art that you love. Don't worry about it Looking Like anything other than your art. Oh, thanks. Well the angle is off a little bit I mean, this is straighter than mine came out. I don't know. That's just how it came out I like it. I know Kathy, right? I if I ever become diabetic It's going to be a problem because my husband is like a walking sweet tooth I'm okay. I'm I mean, I like ice cream and cake, you know, but I If you give me that or fruit, I'm okay with the fruit If they let you in without revealing any trade secrets, that would be wonderful We would all love to see how I just suggested the form in the photo. I didn't actually paint the whole thing I didn't do all the detail. I don't do realism. I just want to Do something that's pretty and expressive and how do you not love these dandelions on the other side? These are cute. These would be really cute to do on a atc card or a tag or Or anything and again, I just made the set of this is the plastic from the bottom of a reusable shopping bag The carbs. Yeah, so I I've learned that I really can't have carbs past about three o'clock four o'clock in the afternoon Because I just don't have a chance to work them off and if I have them later in the day Then in the morning my blood sugar is just ridiculous But if it means I can have fruit and the occasional piece of cake, but just not have any rice or potatoes, then I'm all right with that Thank you Yeah, so terry. I seem to be the same way. I eat carbs and it goes up I am I am also really trying hard to Get to the gym three to five days a week get my steps in every day Even when I'm not at the gym because getting exercise really will help you keep things under control So and I don't need one more thing. I've got enough on my plate. So Yeah, I had potatoes the other day Ian With dinner and I got up in the morning and my blood sugar was ridiculous For somebody who's not diabetic. It was still way too high I didn't do anything different and I thought oh wait, I had potatoes last night Yeah, when I eat bread or pasta I eat the whole wheat kind. I don't eat anything that's like white flour I generally don't eat a lot of potatoes Yeah, um going to the gym is good for all of us no matter your health issues um, and if you're like me and you have Asthma and you have anxiety issues um really the only thing I do is get to the treadmill And I get bored So I am one of these people that has my iPod on so I'm listening to music And I've got my kindle propped up in front of me on the treadmill while I'm walking I'm reading and listening to music And that way I can do 45 minutes to an hour. No problem Rida that doesn't count And you should try some of the whole wheat pastas and they probably are other low carb pastas You probably could have them once in a while You have to stay away from wheat completely and that's a whole other issue I know is this she funny? All right, you guys It doesn't count Rida It really doesn't count They also make a noodle out of soy And which if you taste the plain is disgusting, but if you put sauce on it, it's not bad So I don't know if you can have soy I like bread Ian, but I'm one of these people who love a good dark black Whole grain bread as much as sourdough or white bread. So I don't care. I love bread All right, that's it for today. I am still in my gym clothes So I should probably go take a shower and now my studio is even messier than it already was But give the dandelions or try go over to Marta's channel. It's linked in the description below The video and Find her dandelion video. She's got a couple others She's put up since then but watch her video and see what she does But the answer to the question is could you do it in watercolor? Yes and Can you dry brush in watercolor? Yes Um I would definitely agree with Cindy About doing this in watercolor with cardboard. You could do it, but it's going to soak up a lot more of the paint Doing it in this thin plastic material meant that the paint really only sat on the surface So I think that this would work better for watercolor by contrast. I think that you might have a better Result in acrylic with cardboard, but it would be interesting to try it both ways You're welcome So don't forget to support my channel and other channels that you love here on youtube By giving them thumbs up like sharing and subscribing and if they have Affiliate links or etsy stores or something like that Guys or you need to you know, you have a little money extra money in your creative budget go shopping there Um, I have a haul video out today celebrating An order I got from my friend Jerry Bellini one of my teachers in my year 2017 And she and her husband have a couple etsy stores. I got some fun parts from them All right, that's it for today. The most important thing you all know what that is, right? If you okay, so before we do the most important thing if you varnish the cardboard Then it would probably work in or if you use the cardboard in acrylic and you let the acrylic dry on there And then you could probably use it on watercolor because once the acrylic paint is on there The watercolor can't soak into the cardboard Again, I just had this it was easy for me to grab it Yes, go and have a great day because you deserve it All right That's it for right now I will be back next week if you have suggestions for what you'd like to see next week.
