Thanks, Ruth! I must have about 20 sheets of watercolour paper with florals all over them.... couldn't stop haha

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it 🥰

Forgive me for the late reply! Thanks, that's a lovely comment! 😍

Awww, Lisa, that's totally made my day. Thank You! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 🌺🌿🌺🌿

Thanks so much Srilatha! Glad you found it calming. 🥰

Hi there! Thank you,... and, I wear the gloves because I have Osteoarthritis plus muscle weakness from Functional Neurological Disorder. The gloves keep my hands warm, and that helps 😊

@@hollytomasdesign thank you So sorry to hear that but I’m glad the gloves help you c

@@AdrianBlount1 🙂

Thanks Janet! Look forward to sharing it with you! ☺

Thanks Christine! 😊

Hey again Brenda 😊 I was kinda using it as a replacement for bleach, as I'm a bit sensitive to chemicals... It doesn't work quite the same way as bleach, but has a quality of its own. What I found was that it allowed the watercolours to blend in a slightly different way, and also added a dreamy quality to it? Hard to explain. Hopefully, you'll get some nice effects, if you try it 😊

@@hollytomas8905 Hi Holly, Thank you for responding.

Hi Brenda! Thanks so much. I drop a dilute of bleach in the centres! Isn't it fab. I do love using bleach occasionally. I mix a tiny amount in a little bottle and keep it on my desk. I would say probably 30% bleach 70% water, but obviously some bleaches are thicker than others, so you might need to just tweak the percentages a bit. Are you over on Instagram? I'd love to see what you do... 🥰 I'm: instagram.com/hollytomasdesign/ Take care, and thanks again! 🌹🥀🌺

@@hollytomasdesign Thanks again Holly. I haven't created an art Instagram channel yet. I mostly do watercolor for stress relief.

@@brendareed5050 ah, yes, that's how I got into art too... it brings so much balance doesn't it. I always feel I've been for a walk round the garden after I've painted. I am doubly pleased that my art is helping you unwind. Take care of yourself. 🥰

@@brendareed5050 Sorry for any confusion, just realised I replied from my other account! 🙄😂

@@hollytomasdesignNo problem, I never would have noticed if you didn’t say anything. I am loving your art style. Are you selling pieces?

Thanks so much Kandice! I'm glad this has given you gentle nudge towards using your gouache 😊

Oh Hi Merlinda! Ah yes Gouache can be challenging. And different makes react differently too. You can use white watercolour if you have that? or Dr Ph Martin's Bleedproof is good www.amazon.co.uk/Dr-Ph-Martins-Bleedproof-White/dp/B008CRS1CM/ref=sr_1_2?crid=5Q5XTWRLVXXK&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.9uZBYU2x4cSEMSAFYcKgBYkRE50IOq4kDi5gw1mpFIwmMBvRHjsOwqPexpuuemjY.NtvJhr-fnRgAerWwgpuP2SdioXBJ1w1eLoEh6rnCvi0&dib_tag=se&keywords=dr+ph+martin%27s+bleedproof&qid=1714683503&sprefix=dr+ph+martin%27s+bleedproof%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-2 Let me know if I can help in any other way. Hope you enjoy it 🥰

Ah, thanks! You're very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it! 😀

Awww Janet, you are my new best friend! Thank You! I'm so glad you enjoyed it, it's totally made my day!!! Glad you liked the music too.... I bought it via Pond5, I forgot to mention. I wanted to transport whoever watched it :O) Definitely worth keeping Skye on your bucket list. The whole of the Highlands are spectacular. Thanks again Janet, appreciate you taking the time to leave this comment! 💚💚💚

Can't wait to see them! xxx

Ah, thanks Janet! 🥰

Thanks so much! 🌸🍀💮🌸

Thanks Andrea!! 💞

Thank You!!!! 🤩

ah, thanks! I'm so glad it inspired you! 😍🥰

So glad you liked it. Oh wow, that sound so cool! I've got gesso and mulberry paper, so might have a bash at that! Thanks for sharing. I love trying new things 🤩

Thank you! 🌿

That's so kind, thank you! 😊

Yes!! I meant to say, you can use anything similar, a spatula, an old bank card, a guitar plectrum.... even card or paper folder a few times? I'm glad you found it soothing.... that's the aim of the game. Take care x x x

I hear you! it's deeply frustrating. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself. You are doing your absolute best 💓

Благодаря ти! това е мило от твоя страна (I hope this is a good translation!) Take Care x x x

Vielen Dank! 💞

ah, thanks so much! 🥰

So glad you liked it! 🥰

Hi there, I'm using white gouache, but watercolour (used more thickly) or acrylic would be great too.... even poster paint. Let me know if I can help further 🙂

Yeah, it's really cool! I plan to do more projects using this method 🥰

Awww Janet, thank you so much for this comment. I've recently switched a lot of my attention to RUclips and I'm so I did, as I'm getting wonderful responses like this almost every day. Makes me so happy! Fascinating that your forebears were Scottish... Stewart is obviously a huge name over here! Thanks again! Look forward to chatting with you either here, or over on Skillshare! 🥰

@@hollytomasdesign Actually my maiden name is Stirling. My people came from Forfar🙂

Oh, intriguing. I know Forfar,! not well, but have travelled up the east coast a lot :O) @@janetstewart8909

@@hollytomasdesign How fun…I hope to get over to Scotland in the next few years and explore!

@@janetstewart8909 That'll be so cool!

Ah, thanks Andrea!!! 🌸🌿🌹☘

Thanks so much! Glad you like it 🥰

Thanks so much! That's very kind of you! 🥰

@@hollytomasdesign You are welcome! Have a super great day!

you too! @@MrHiArt

Ah Angie, this makes me so happy!! It's such a cool way to use a resist isn't it. So glad you like it!! :O)

Thanks so much!! 🌸🌱🌼🌿

Hi Susan, thanks for your question. I'm using, what I think, is a size 6 round brush. This was an inexpensive one in a set of Caran D'ache gouache paints, but the brand I tend to gravitate towards is Escoda. Really love their brushes.... Hope this helps! :O)

Thanks so much Mairi!! 🥰

Oh Wow!!! I'm going to print this out and put it on the wall next to my desk! What a wonderful comment!!! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment and for subscribing, it has totally made my day!!!!!!! 🤩😍🥰
