Thank you.

Hi, it's Pebeo masking fluid (there are other brands), you can find it plenty of places online or possibly in your local art store. As you say it protects the paper and then you just peel it off when you want to paint the protected bits.

Thank you for replying after one of your older videos 💞

Grazie mille.

Tack så mycket!

Thank you. Hopefully it might inspire someone to give it a try.

Thank you!

Thank you! I usually manage to do a few mushroom paintings in the autumn. I enjoy the challenge.

Thanks you. Glad you appreciate my work!

Every piece of good work or good action should be appreciated. This is a small world and we are going to be here for a very short time. But your work is not just good, it is superb. I keenly look forward to watching your tutorials. Please keep it coming🙏

Thank you again. If you're not specifically focused on watercolour I have newly started oil painting channel which YT is keeping secret from everyone at the moment, for some reason: ruclips.net/channel/UCGoyuXwaxDdEqjTJ1ukfyYw

Thank you. Glad you liked it and got something from it. I'm a big fan of the Schmincke Supergranulating paints in the right context.

Thank you! I'm glad my work inspires you.

Thank you!

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you. That's not really my intention but the process is what it is and the result turns out the way it does.

Thank you. Glad you appreciated it.

It was!

Thank you, that's very kind. I'm really enjoying using theses paints. They do have quite a unique feel which I'm assuming is down to the somewhat unusual binding ingredients but with the right subject matter they are a joy to use.

Many thanks! Summers are short and sweet in Sweden, grass to be mowed, beach walks to be taken, lots of golf to be played (lot's of golf) and I've had several oil paint commissions to work through. The Gallo paints were absolutely perfect for this.

@ArtistPhil58 Summers are long and sweet here...we no longer mow the grass, as the wildlife thrives on it. We have a new fox family and a bear cub this year. Glad you and enjoying your summer, though...and especially happy that the paints found a happy home.

Thank you.

Fair enough. I'm lucky if I can find the time to paint at the moment so there's no chance of me trawling (see what I did there?) through the interwebs for hours and hours after genuinely decent copyright free music but I will bear it in mind for future uploads :-)

@@ArtistPhil58 I think your watchers would much rather hear you speak than listen to music.

I unfortunately don't have time at the moment to record and edit a voiceover. It would mean me just not uploading anything until I don't know when.

Thank you. Give it a try they are great fun to do!

Thank you! My cousin lives in the Blue Mountains near Sydney. Please say hi if you bump into her :-)

@@ArtistPhil58 Bloody hell. Okay.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Using a grisaille is a well established technique in oils, used for hundreds of years. There are plenty of demonstrations here on YT if you wanted to have a look and I've done a couple of oil portraits that way myself and I just thought it might be fun to try it with watercolour. I'm glad it has inspired you, thank you!

The grisaillle is done with acrylic ink but ordinary ink would work just as well I think.

I learn from my own mistakes and if somebody else can also learn from them then it makes it worthwhile.

Many thanks! I do like the Tundra Violet, yes. I needed a sharp object to push lines into the paper for the tree trunks and branches and the only things to hand before the paint dried were a screwdriver and a nail file. The nail file worked better in case you were wondering.

Of course. Screwdriver. Very...sensible.

I think your corn holders might even have been better still!

@@ArtistPhil58 Caan you even buy corn holders in Sweden? If not, then I suppose I will have to send you one.

Yes, but of course they're not capable of holding corn.

Many thanks! I usually use my ruling pen to push lines into the paper but I couldn't find it and the screwdriver and nail file were close at hand :-)

Thank you. You're very welcome. I try to vary my palette depending on the subject matter and this was the first serious workout for the Amazonite but it won't be the last.

Thank you!
