      I am just about to paint a picture that I have in front of me of an old inn with brick and flint. I didn't search for brick finishes, it was just there. Actually it has just been restored but I will use some of your tricks.

      @Megzamani 3 года назад +1

      I am adding a little liquid charcoal to the paint. It makes for great textures. Unlike granulation but similar to wavy spider lines that float on the paint and break into patterns.

    @KizetteandTotoro 2 года назад

    I was so surprised to hear that you get hate comments. How ridiculous. It is so simple. If they don’t like the videos, they can find something else to watch. Theres is no need to be nasty. I find value in every video I watch -from every artist I follow, including you- No matter how many years you have been creating, there is always something to learn. WHen I think about it, painting ( or other creative arts like quilting, knitting, learning to play an instrument) is such a solitary activity. And it is for that reason that it is so useful to watch videos and take classes and socialise a little, so you can get exposed to how others do the same thing. It is so interesting. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

    Michele, what a good tip with the candle wax I must say I like your teaching and saw a lot of your video's .
    I am retired navy and now I think I found a new hobby so I will start with your beginners class I retired to Thailand so I can't follow your classes in person Maybe you could do some summer school courses in the future .
    I hope your set of paint from Jackmans will be good enough to follow your course, anyway Thanks for your youtube teachings

    Another brilliant video! Great ideas for brick walls and patterns in general. Makes me want to look for a landscape with bricks just to try it out. Appreciate your caution in not using/ruining good watercolor brushes with the oil pastel technique. Very useful & fun techniques - a joy to watch. Thanks so much Michele! ❤️🎨👍👍

  • @katepanthera7265
    @katepanthera7265 3 года назад +1

    Thanks so much for this tutorial. I've been angsting over what colors to use for bricks, and this helps a lot. I got a Dan Smith
    complete watercolor dot card, thinking it would help me pick out colors for bricks, but I just wound up with too many colors to choose from, esp. when some of them are so close in color. There's like 3 whole rows of colors on the dot card that could be used for bricks! The garnet genuine, deep scarlet, quin. burnt scarlet, quin sienna, fired gold ochre, and Turner quin Rust all look like they'd be good for bricks. Also, watching the wax and oil resists, you could probably use regular crayons for this too, and those have a point that can be sharpened, so you can be more precise with the lines.

    • @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber
      @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber  3 года назад

      Yes crayons can be useful too. Bricks come in all colours but for the red ones the red oxide pigments are good (these are often called English Red, Venetian red, and other names, it's all Red Oxide pigment) Burnt sienna, Paynes Grey and Yellow Ochre can be good too.

    I've always enjoyed brickwork in paintings I really like those ones people do with old doors, weathered boards and windows surrounded with bricks and flowers.
    The candle wax and oil pastels was a neat trick and I really like that look. Thanks so much for this one very useful and I learned a lot and have a better idea of how to do them. Thanks, Michele and congratulations on 10K well deserved! x 🎨🖌

    Thank you for the tips on painting brick walls. I watched it while painting an old stone wall, (multitasking!) grabbed a scented candle and scraped a bit of wax on the stones with a cut up credit card. Really good tips which brought my wall to life. About to do some spattering when I can find a newspaper to block the rest of the painting. I love these your videos and have learnt a lot from them. Thank you.

Also, along the same lines, I would love to see how you would do a cobblestone walk or road, if you have not done that already I would like to try that as well.

      Hi Kitty, I have four main palettes of the oblong shape I use in the video. Each has one primary and one secondary eg yellow and green, the fourth has earths and neutrals. But I have lots of other colours and brands too, which I recently sorted into colours and labelled in boxes which stack. (They are actually takeaway food containers!) Thanks so much for watching :-)
