I’m in love with dry brush technique. Can it damage expensive brushes?
No....the thing that damages brushes is scrubbing them into dried up paint or pan colours. Sometimes it’s best to mix with an older brush then switch to your best brush.
What type of brush and size is it?
Wendy, Thank you for the tutorial. I found it's very helpful. What kind of paper did you use? Is it 100% cotton?
Thank you. I use Bockingford 140lb not surface usually. Also Saunders Waterford same 😀
@@WendyPowellJones Thank you🌹
I'm having a go at this but my flower shapes are quite wonky. How di you apply the masking fluid to make them resemble flowers?
I did not make any particular shape.....look closely and you will see that. We are just looking for the suggestion of flower shapes . Perhaps yours are too big ?
Wonky isn’t always bad 😀
@@WendyPowellJones Thanks for your reply! I think my masking fluid may be the problem? It was difficult to handle and made little bubbles.
Sounds like you need new....try pebeo...there is a link in my most recent videos if you can’t find it. It works really well and it is a light grey that you can see when you put it o n but it is not too distracting.
Beautiful!! Thank you! I'd like to see the flowers in a close up!! Is it possible?? I don't really see where the petals go. Thanks!! (I'm a beginner)🥰🖌️Mains from Spain
Glad you like it….the flowers however are painted very loosely….just random marks 😀
@@WendyPowellJones so not possible with a closeup??
@@mainan8342 not really
@@WendyPowellJones thank you Wendy, for your quick answer!! I'll try!!🥰
Beautiful...! May i know what material used for masking the flowers?
Thank you...it was Windsor and Newton masking/friskit fluid .Other brands are available 😀
Wendy, on your preliminary sketch of flowers they appear to be white spots. Are you using a "mask" so that the green paint will be repelled? You don't explain why the green paint is being repelled by the white spots for flowers. ????
Yes they are masked
Very helpful Wendy.
Can you tell me what number
Your brush is please?
Thank you
It would have been a number 6 🙂
is there a reason why when i put the grasses in the yellow blue boundary seems to catch and concentrate the green in a blob? did i not let it dry enough? it has happened several times.
It sounds like the background was not dry as you say....sure you have but watch that part again. Get back if you still have problems.
Thanks! I think i may have had some gouche on my brush by mistake. I suppose that could be it?
Hi, I looked at your ebay site and your work is lovely. There is a color or color mixture that I am trying to create/replicate. In your painting, "Summer Foliage 2," I'm wondering if you can share the color of the pale yellow in the sky? I would appreciate your help.
Hi....I can’t remember exactly but it will have been a cool yellow....cadmium yellow pale or lemon yellow 🙂
