Thank you for showing us these new techniques
my gosh I love your cat paintings 😹 thanks a lot for all these tips.
Thank you 💗
I appreciate you talking about the levels of wetness in paper. This is tough to learn. Also, your facts are accurate, but it is the left side of the brain is analytical, the right side likes patterns. Different tapes have varied stickiness. Some have very little stick. They are good to use on watercolor paper.
Love your work, especially your cats. Thank you for these fabulous tips. 🖌🎨❤💛💙
My pleasure!
Side note….love your sweatshirt!!! Oh, and your channel is amazing, I’ve learned SO SO MUCH!
I'm so glad! I learned about that sweatshirt from another youtuber @makeupbytiffanyd so she made some affiliate $ off me ; )
What a great presentation!! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I tried the lamp black on one of my cat painting. I love your presentation, you're really funny.
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing generous being!
My pleasure!

I appreciate it!
Great tips. Love your content
Thanks so much!
Rachel, as usual you're so personable and you share such wonderful tips so freely. Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Very cool tips that I haven't seen anyone else talking about. Thank you! Subscribed!
Thank you! I always try to talk about the why as well as the how so my viewers can advance with their own journey much faster! Also, in almost every painting I experiment, so I'm always discovering new wonders - that's why I LOVE watercolor! Between reading books, watching videos and my own experiments I'm always on my toes with fresh ideas!
This tutorial is so inspiring. Thanks!
Thank you 💗🎨💗
Great videos. Love your work.
Thank you very much!
Oh yes ,I took instruction from one of the contributors of "Drawing on the right side of the brain." She was amazing. She has since passed. I wish I had drawn her.😮
How fortunate you took a workshop with her - I bet it was wonderful!
Great tips and techniques! Could it be possible to share a link to the wonderful calligraphy brush you use in this video? Your technique is fabulous showing how you used it with this beautiful kitty! Wishing you all the best of luck in the women's watercolor entry of this unique painting. Ursula from Canada.

Great tips just found your channel thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! I like to talk about the why as much as the how so my viewers can advance on their painting journey much faster : )
Super great video Rachel! I always learn something when I watch you. Excellent explanations and demos! ❤❤ So funny you mentioned Drawing on the Right side of the Brain as I just bought it last weekend at a charity shop.
What a great find!
Thanks for sharing these great watercolor techniques especially with the soft edges. I have been using quite a few of these techniques already. Definitely a game changer with watercolor painting! 😊💕
You are so welcome!
Great tips/techniques, Rachel! Pretty psyched about those brushes, as I bought them 2 weeks ago. I have a big sumi-e goat hair brush (also wasn't that expensive) and I love how you can splay the hair and make really cool marks with it. I couldn't resist the calligraphy brushes because they have awesome points and hold plenty of paint...and a girl can't have too many brushes.
They are so great and SO cheap too! They do fall apart but they aren't expensive to replace.
Thanks Rachel
My pleasure!

amazing, ❤😍 new subrsciber
That always gives me a little pop of dopamine to hear so thanks : )
I have some cheap calligraphy brushes but they drop so much of the hair. How do you stop that or prepare a new brush for painting?
I don't know how to stop it. Dickblick has a line that might hold together better
Hi Rachel ,
I loved your video and the techniques that you shared , and as a beginner hobbyist I really enjoyed your content. However , the statements you mentioned from the book you recommended about "the left and right side of the brain" are actually incorrect. I am currently working on my BA in psychology and this is actually a very popular myth in psychology. The way the brain works is not that simple unfortunately. There are regions of the brain that specialize in certain tasks but it is not split up via left and right side.
Thank you for your time and expertise 👻🖤
That makes sense, the brain is much more complex but for the purposes of what the book is trying to teach a simplification makes things more clear perhaps. Congratulations on your studies, knowledge is something no one can take away from you!
The left side of the brain is the analytical side - the right is the creative side.
Did I get it messed up? I always do that.
Actually you have the brain backward. I’m a registered nurse and also read the book. As she explains it she is correct. The right hemisphere of the brain is the artistic side, because this is where we have our spatial ability and creativity, as well as intuition and music creativity. It is also the subconscious side. The left side of the brain is where logic, analytics and order come from. This is where our brain tells us something is cylindrical, like a tree, even though we can’t see the other side. It is where our brain tells us the color of sky, or that a house is cube shape even though we cannot see the other side. It is logic. We have to set the left brain aside or turn it off and think with the right side. We draw shapes, only what we see, using values and it forms into a beautiful piece. I hope this helps someone. 😊
Thanks! I always get my left and right backwards
