After receiving a lot of comments regarding the black canvas I used in this video, I created a newer tutorial on a white canvas which is easier to see😉 Here’s the link : ruclips.net/video/YFOxAnd_kfE/видео.htmlsi=1p87QIXBda5xqvAs
The fan brush demonstration is just what I needed. I was ready to throw away my soft fan brush because it "spiked" and I thought it was just a bad brush. I have only been painting a year and your demonstration videos are worth their weight in gold! ⭐
The first, and so far the only time I used a fan brush (as the soft one on the right), the same thing happened. As soon as the bristles started splitting I thought the brush was ruined, only realising it was its nature when I washed it and dried having gone back to the same soft initial shape. Meanwhile nothing came out of what I was trying to make because I didn’t know how to handle it. Ignorance is not always bliss…😊
@@ElizabethMathewiiind Depending on if you want toxic free options or not! the easiest is just use oil and then the brush cleaner soap bars after the oil is clean from changing or "rinsing" your dirty brushes from the oil. I have started to use Lavender oil t oclean as well as thin my oil paints and I want to try it with water soluble oil paints too! Good Luck.
wow! i thank you for these brush tutorials.. as a retired educator, i am always trying to bring young people into the field of art. but! realize that its always back to the basics. you are an excellent instructor..... Please ! keep up your tutorials on the basics... thank you again.. roberto ..
This was EXTREMELY helpful. I thought I was hopeless with a fan brush and didn't know why! Here it was, I wasn't using the correct fan brush for the job! This was so helpful to me!
So this is where I'm going wrong The difference between 2 brushes is amazing thanks Just started painting so this info is appreciated thank you so much Meg
Hi Jony... msg for u... In childhood I like to draw and wanted to join drawing classes n buying colours n copies but due to my family background couldn't continue my hobby(desire). Now after watching Ur videos, I recalled my childhood which I left long before. I love ur teaching techniques n thinking of continuing my hobby. Because of u n Ur help I could fulfill my childhood dream attending drawing classes... Love from Nepal...❤❤❤❤
Ohhh by the graces! The demo with the soft fan was so immensely validating. I am extremely new to painting and i didn't realize that there was so much difference in results between soft bristles and stiff bristles. I'm 42 and for my entire life I believed that stiff bristles were a sign that a brush was old and worn out and not useful anymore! I've been trying to make trees with my nice, soft, smooth fan brushes and beating myself up for not getting the results i wanted. I'm not even through the whole video yet and I've felt such a massive weight come off my shoulders because I thought I was doing something terribly wrong. Well, i mean i kind of am using such a thin brush but now i know that it's more because of my tools than me. I need a stiffer brush. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much.
Good job. Have you thought of some inexpensive community classes? You learn the basics (brushes etc) in a couple or three weeks, saves a lot of frustration if your familiar with your tools first. Before you start the journey... Like any skill, really 😊
Excellent demo! No one has ever showed me how to load and use these brushes correctly. Thank you! ( only thing is….the black on black was a little difficult to see)
Great job. I teach art now and then, and when someone asks, "What is most important when creating art?" I answer, "Learn what the art tools are and, more importantly, what you can... and cannot... do with them." The second thing to learn is what your choice of medium can... and cannot... do. Getting your head around those two things will make creating good art far easier. 🎨
I would appreciate your adding a deers foot brush to your wonderful list. I am so very happy you are presenting this to us. I am just having trouble with black paint on black canvas. Also, are saying we should use the thicker bristle brush instead of the wimpy one? Thank you. New listener, New subscriber!
Now I see why your piece changes with every brush stroke. Every single stroke is deliberately, intentional and different from the next one. Thanks for this tutorial. I learned a lot!
I loved this. I have attention span issues- if you have that or ADHD / ASD etc? Try watching at 2x speed. (Under ‘settings’.) That made all the information accessible to me. ❤️
I've been taking lessons for many years and I never knew the difference between the soft and the stiffer fan brush and I never knew what the fill that was for thank you very much
Thank you so much. As a true wc newbie I have not made any mistakes yet or had frustrations with brushes yet. This is like a super beginner's class....teaching truly from the ground up!!
Thank you for the demo on Fan Brushes. I have been struggling with waterfalls and grasses. Please keep up the videos, they are great. Great learning tools!
Soooo glad I found you! I learned so much. I draw a lot of water, water falls, puddles wter drops, splashes and shorelines and so far i have been using watercolour pencils. Very time consuming a laborious to create the effects that you seem to create with very little effort with water colours. I will go back and study your preious videos. Thank you foryour generosity
At this point, due to Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS), I think I have about 1 trillion + brushes, yet only 3 of them are fan brushes. I never really found a use for them. This tutorial is helpful, so I learned a few things here, and then tested out your tricks out on the ones I have. I am a watercolorist, and 2 of my fans are soft, and the other is mid-range, so I don't have an actual stiff brush. My soft ones seem to be best for that striped waterfall effect. The mid-range one (Jackson's Stippler fan, medium), does lines very well, too, with watercolor paint, but the lines are thicker. None of my fans do trees well, but I think they could all do grass fairly okay along with waterfalls. There are few brushes I need/want at this point, but I think a stiff fan brush has just been added to the tiny list. I imagine it would be wonderful to use if I painted with acrylics or oils. Thank you for the tips. 😊
Wow that's awesome thank you new at all of watercolors and drawing every little thing helps. Your so easy to follow and understand. Will be watching you again .❤😊
This is very interesting. When I used my fan brush for the first time, I thought I bought the wrong type of brush when the brush separated itself when I was doing trees and clouds. I would have never thought of wiggling the brush to make it un-separated. Thank you, Joni, for this demonstration. 😊👌
Thank you sooo much. I loved that tutorial. I'm trying to learn by doing but sometimes you just need somebody to show you the right way. That was you. Subscribed.
Your videos help with skills that are a Challenge for me. I would like to see a video that can help with some beginner drawing skills so I won’t have to trace every picture. I try to paint. Thank you for all your help!
I'm still trying to learn about all these fancy brushes but am learning watching your videos. Back in my teens I was so use to using one brush. I love how you explain this. Your one amazing teacher. Thank you very much ❤
Yes yes yes, you have solved many of my problems.......waterfalls particularly, I didn't like that little wimpy fan at all, now I know. Thank you! QUESTION, how do you manage to keep your acrylics to stay so wet on your pallet? Big piles?
I just looked at my stash of brush and I don't have a stiff fan brush, so I need to get one. I love the look for the moss or is could be a bed of flowers. Thanks Joni, your tips helps me be a better artist.
Very kind of you to also do the video on white. It's is very helpful to have lessons on how to use different brushes. Such tutorials are rare, but it's important to have such skills.
I love the way you show the ways to use the fan brush, I can see your correct about to much Paint on the brush as that is what I have been doing so thank you .I will be learning more from you .
Thank you thank you thank youuu!!! For all your videos-not just tutorials, how you're explaining things is so helpful! Can't wait to practice following your tips!
Hullo Joni, It is always a Joy to watch and learn from your videos Thank You. It was hard to see on the black but not impossible, I just turned up the contrast on my monitor and voila easy to see!
This tutorial is wonderful. I don’t paint because I thought I just wasn’t a good painter. Now I understand that maybe with the right tools, I could do it. Thank you for demonstrating this, I’m gonna try it again.
You absolutely can learn with the right tools …same here ,never painted anything but a wall,or a fence then took a class and I’m hooked but I have definitely learned that the picture is right in the end of your brush ! And have confidence in your own work …that’s the hard part …we are our own worst critic! Good luck!

Yup! That helps us a lots better 🙌🏻
Thank you 🙏🏻

Yeah I ended up buying the soft one. I'll need to get a stiffer one somedsay.
Enjoyed it.
I have painted for twenty years and this demo was very helpful! Thank you

The demo ii sI nice well I would like.t know how oil paint brushes safely cleaned at home
The first, and so far the only time I used a fan brush (as the soft one on the right), the same thing happened. As soon as the bristles started splitting I thought the brush was ruined, only realising it was its nature when I washed it and dried having gone back to the same soft initial shape. Meanwhile nothing came out of what I was trying to make because I didn’t know how to handle it. Ignorance is not always bliss…😊

WOW, what a difference a brush makes! Thank you so much, REALLY REALLY enjoyed it and learned so much...THANX! 💚

Yes yes yes, you have solved many of my problems.......waterfalls particularly, I didn't like that little wimpy fan at all, now I know. Thank you! QUESTION, how do you manage to keep your acrylics to stay so wet on your pallet? Big piles?
I use a waterproof palette and heavy bodied acrylics ☺️
I just looked at my stash of brush and I don't have a stiff fan brush, so I need to get one. I love the look for the moss or is could be a bed of flowers. Thanks Joni, your tips helps me be a better artist.
