Can I ask how you prevent the masking tape from tearing the top layer from your paper?

I did this and it peeled a bit omg 😢

So you can't pull off the tape? Does it rip the paper?

Very clear explanation, thanks. You mention the paper is 'face down', but surely that's just for wetting the back of the paper. When your doing the final wetting, you must turn the paper over?

Advice for how to get into a gallery? Sadly I feel like it’s a “who you know” situation. But what is the process typically/traditionally? 🤔

oh too late, I did my masonite, the paper when it dried dragged the masonite to concave. 😂

Like another commenter mentioned, wish I saw your video before I bought a traditional cool/warm set XD

I noticed you use the same sponge to wet the paper as you use to activate the tape. Do you find there is any glue transfer to the paper with subsequent uses? Do you clean the sponge?

I have interpreted the theme of two of those paintings as “things that I know shouldn’t been happening but I’m probably not going to do anything about”

that’s so awesome congratulations!!!!

❤

looks absolutely beautiful so far!! can’t wait to see it done :)

Omg 😮 thank u 🙏

Absolutely gorgeous. Your videography is honestly very warm and your transitions are beautifully done. And the painting is just lovey.

Yay!!

Looks amazing

Thank you!

Really beautiful result ❤

Yet another wonderfully dense video full of useful tips and observations! Thanks so much for taking the time to upload these, they're super helpful.

Thank you so much for uploading this! This is exactly the kind of technical problem solving with watercolor I've been looking for. The detailed play by play really helps. You're a wonderful teacher :>

I just got mine, it’s hard for me to get the wrap off of the 1/2 pans, and everything is in I think chinese, I’m frustrated right now! I just want get the paint wet and see how I like these colors!

Stunning as always!

You remind me of one of my all time favorite teachers, he was my chemistry teacher who has a very similar voice and personality. Thank you for being such an inspiration to others like he did to me! ❤

So nice!!! Looks amazing!! ❤️❤️ new sub added, keep it up 🔥👍👍

Very well done! For landscape paintings, I may add a couple of earth tones from the following: yellow ochre, raw umber, burnt umber, burnt sienna. With the blues in your palette, you can make an infinite number of browns. Thanks.

Can we peel the brown gum tape off the drawing? To give a white border. Considering i do not want to make my A4 painting any smaller.

I was not prepared for the reveal, GORGEOUS!!

My jaw dropped. It looks amazing!

Please keep the videos coming. They’re very much appreciated.

Incredible and very inspirational work. Thank you so much for sharing. Keep 'em coming!

I'm in awe♡

Your aquarium is growing beautifully. May your pets live long and prosper.

Very grateful that you are sharing these videos. The technique and effort cannot be inferred when we see the final painting, these videos are precious! Thank you.

Thanks for explaining things the water and paper do with the paint. Watercolor is like magic to me. Magic that I don't understand or am able to use except at the most basic level! :)

How much did it stretch??

Thank you for sharing your palette !! I had already bought my first set of 24 colors, and got overwhelmed. But now I know which colors to set up a limited palette and start experimenting 😊

Cant wait to see the end results!

Stunning!

This is lots of labor :-)) I have been using a system that I thought and implemented long ago. I "painted" a 1/2" thick plywood board (so that it doesn't absorb water) a little larger then the watercolor paper. I wet the paper, and position it properly on this board. Then I place four 1/4" thick, 1.5-2" wide "painted" sticks along four edges of the paper. Then I use large clips that you normally see on board clips to clamp everything together in a manner that the paper is sandwiched between the thin sticks and the board. And I let everything dry. When I remove the paper, I don't have to deal with gummed tapes, or cut out staple holes, or anything else. Try to implement one. It is easy and effective.

I'm new to watercolor but i am doing it for a friend. I'mnormally an oil painter and i find watercolor to be daunting. My first buckled so much! and inconsistently. What she wants is a huge piece, 30x40, and I'm wondering what wooden board I may use to stretch? A lot of wood is kind of warpy. Or if there is another cheaper alternative for something of that size?

Bravo

Congrats

Congratulations!

❤

That was really helpful. Thank you.

Love your work, so meticulous and patient. I’m curious roughly how much time you spend on your paintings.

Love your art, man! Have you ever tried Schmincke masking fluid? It's different than other masking fluids I have tried. First off, it doesn't smell. It is also easy to clean from brushes. Can be mixed with water to make it more accurate when using it. I am not sure about shelf life, as I haven't used it for a very long time.

very beautiful as always :)

I am very confused but it is cool

Very nice video! Thanks
