So fun to watch Sandra! I love hearing others take on [products.The Silver Black Velvet are a real Squirrel hair mix with Synthetic. They trap squirrels too. Sad, I love Squirrels. I gave all my Princeton Neptune's away because I hated them. I ordered a lot and none had the best point and too soft. I have some sables also when I 1st started out years ago and rarely use them but do on occasion. Their death cannot be in vain so I use them. A couple real Sable quills that are good. I also will never buy another Sable hair brush. I have the Cosmotop spin too and I got rid of it. LOL! The Princeton Elite brushes are my go too now but still reach for my 1st , inexpensive Princeton, Heritage often. Don't worry. They don't kill the pig just for the hair. But when they go to market, to be slaughtered, they harvest everything they can from the animal, that's killed for the meat.

I have Rosemary rounds and daggers, I do like them. I try to avoid most squirrel brushes, including Princeton Neptune, and most Silver Brush Black Velvet because they are limpy! They stay limpy in the middle of painting unless I immerse the brush in water and reload. You were trying Black Velvet #6 and flat (1/2"??). They seem springy. Are they still springy? Princeton Elite is a good brush. This line has a quill which holds quite a bit of water and much springier compared to Neptune. Perhaps this may be a good brush for washes in small medium you are using. I want to try Escoda Ultimo Mop because they are supposed to be better than Elite. What do you think?

You were so clear in your explanations of each stage you went through, and I really appreciated that very much. It all made sense as you went through each step as well. I am going to attempt it and probably many times, but I'm so inspired after watching your tutorial. Thank You, Sandra.

Hello, the only corn in that website is DENT CORN, is that the same as Field corn?

Thank you. The concept of the water drop as it relates to light and shadow was so important to me. A great lesson in how and why it’s painted to achieve a realistic droplet.

would rather see them paint not just listen to someone talk about them :/

I'm so glad I found your channel. Love your technique

One of the best tutorials on the subject. Very well explained. Thankyou

Actually, those animals used to make the brushes are raised in captivity- and just like cows, if people stop buying natural hair brushes or beef...these animals would likely go extinct, because there are few places left where there remains enough of their natural environment to support them in the wild- so the humane thing to do is to actually buy animal products. Seriously, how is it any worse than them getting eaten by predators in the wild? I LOVE animals...but this whole 'don't use animal products' thing is really unrealistic, and a product of the minds (however well-intentioned) of people who have never really thought it through).

Michael’s has Royal & Langnickel. Fabulous and under $13 for a set of five!!!

I see you sketched the Egret out first. Zink White. I tried to find Zink White , but others also like it, and usually the area for that White paint is empty. I like your choice of Music, some use a sleepy, soft romantic music , that puts me to sleep. I like go beat when I work that is full of ENERGY. However, I can see why their music works for them, because I tried it when working on more delicate parts,

Crikey Daniel Smith will not suit my style at all might try Smincke but you can't beat the old paints for watercolour landscapes

You know Silver Black Velvet brushes use a combination of animal & synthetic bristles. Nice brushes but I don’t buy them anymore 🥲

I don’t like the Cosmo top spin brushes either - no point. Trader Joe’s 👍😁. Thank you for sharing

I have the same problem with long handles. I like Silver black belt and Mimick kolinsky. I don't like nNeptunes, too compound

Try using a canning funnel to fill your ziploc bags. Place the funnel in the top and hold it down while you put in the first spoonful. It should then stand by itself. Then gently lift the funnel up as the bag is filled. I do this all the time when I fill freezer bags with chopped peppers. Very easy and less messy.

No one comments about synthetic brushes being plastic (vinyl is plastic) and plastic is made from petroleum. Also, think about all the microscopic plastic fibers that break off and become part of the food chain. Hmmmm.

I keep hens for eggs, just love them. Love the way you are painting this chicken, Thank you so much. p.s. I'm a Sandra J also

Very nice tutorial. I learn somethimg new every day. Bless You

YOU CAN RESURFACE THEM WITH WHITE CHEAP CAR PAINT

White Nights blend, but you have to pre mix them with water first. They are made with honey, so you can't use them straight from the pan. They don't flow that way.

Your Neptune wash brushes on smaller paintings use them for skys only and premixed washes for your sky you can also drop in sixe these brushes and they work very well Try a panting with an 1.5 flat. Then try a painting with an 1.5” a3/4” flat then a number three rigger I learn water colour with these three sizes and the Irish artists book water colour paint box and after the 9 lessons in the book I sold my first water colour using his limited palette of 8 colours

I have mastered water droplets, but I have learned also with this video.

Out of curiosity, why do you discourage heat dryer and use of paper towel for soakage? TYSM for this video.

Best water droplet video I’ve seen, enjoy that you are teaching with speech also and just not drawing. Also enjoyed the roasting coffee video! 👍🇺🇸

Where did you get your pink cup from ? please and thank you, fun video.

Haha! I can see why you were sent outside😄😁😂

Love your style

I have a brush addiction issue; cheap and expensive lol

Hello how are you doing?

Wot crap is this video 😂

You have to be more patient with the pans, you have to soak them more to get more pigment out.

Loved this! Great explanations, concise, informative & superb demo. Thanx. 🇨🇦

Thanks for your help today

Thank you for NOT using animal hair brushes & thank you for sharing your likes & dislikes in brushes 🙏
