Why You Need A Hake Brush For Watercolour
In this week's video, I use the Hake brush to paint an atmospheric coastal marsh scene.
The Hake is a fantastic brush for painting loose, broad, watercolour washes, it can hold large amounts of water and paint, so can cover an entire sheet of paper in a matter of seconds.

Mop Brushes For Watercolour

In this week's video I test three new mop brushes for watercolour. I painted an atmospheric landscape, with a grazing cow, loosely in the style of one of my favourite painters, the fantastic, Trevor Chamberlain. The brushes were sent to me by a fairly new company called Fuumuui. All in all, I liked the brushes, I'm a fan of mops anyway, especially natural hair, so it was a win for me!! *Disclai...

I’m trying not to depend on strictly following tutorials and instead create my own pieces but there’s just something about this one…. It was a real confidence-booster. Thanks, as always, for sharing so much. It’s so appreciated. Sorry for the rambling comment. All the best.

    Wow, Chris. So glad I found this. What you’ve done with the light AND the water effect here-just beautiful. I’m curious about Bockingford paper. We hear so much about 100% cotton paper, but this isn’t. (I think?) Yet you achieve such wonderful things with it. I was just wondering what it is that you find appealing about it. It seems to handle a lot. Thank you, as always.

    • @ChrisStephenArt
      @ChrisStephenArt 15 дней назад

      Thanks Sewall. Bockingford is a wood pulp paper, so doesn’t cope as well with multiple washes. That said, you can achieve some good results with it. I like to use many types of paper, as they all react differently.
