Thanks for the question, Francesca! This is a SOLO Flat 5-Line Brush. You can find it on my website www.watercoloronline.com/product-page/flat-5-lines-brush Thank you!
I especially like your watercolor portraits! The more I watch your demos, the more I realize that the dampness of the page is particularly important. I saw in one video that you placed paper towels beneath your watercolor paper. I have a home in a very hot, windy, and dry area in SW New Mexico. I can't paint as fast as you, and my paper dries very quickly. Can I untape, rewet the back, and reattach without problems, or should I wait another day before trying this?
Thank you very much, Jeanie! I'll tell you even more. If you wet the back side properly and start painting on the front dry side, you don't have to use tape. You can continue to wet the back side from time to time. It just needs to be done very carefully so as not to damage the painting. But this way you can keep the paper wet for as long as you need.
As per your advice, I broke down and finally purchased a good quality paper. Omg! Worth every additional cent! Also, I took your advice to wet the back side as my painting progressed. Words cannot describe the difference. Next purchase will be a board to place my paper on. (I confess, I have been taping to cardboard.) Thank you! I appreciate your gracious teaching and your willingness to share your years of experience. I am so fascinated by your portrait studies and your ability to work with such limited palettes. They are superb!
I will be at Lilleshall Hall, England from May 15 to 24, 2024 for the International Watercolour Masters. But it's sold out. internationalwatercolourmasters.com/portfolio_page/michael-solovyev-canada/
Very good work style, but need some skin tones. now look like a monocrome wash effect. Skin color is just a tone of a color, just like hair and clothing colors are just a tone of the same colors. If you colorize it a bit more, it will be awesome. Iam a art student. from INDIA

@@watercoloronlinemsolovyev I did not realize that. So the water forms a (vacuum) to hold? You just gave me an "aha" moment.

He is a guineas.....❤
looks like a great video but I have no sound!!!
Thank you, Kerry! Sound starts at 5:00
Thank you for this great lesson. Do you wet the backside of the paper for 15 minutes? Or a few minutes and then wait for 15 minutes to start?
Thank you! I wet the back of my paper in 12-15 minutes in advance, before start.
Was the paper wet when you started ?

@@watercoloronlinemsolovyev brilliant lesson. I’m stuck in my watercolor journey I’m watching all of your videos here. Thank you!!
When you take pictures of random people , do you need their permission to paint them ?
Depending of place. In some countries I do not need it.
Very good work style, but need some skin tones. now look like a monocrome wash effect.
