    Thank you for this class as I have learned a number of tips that I will use in my next project.
    A number of white plates and no washing makes a lot of sense.
    Two brushes I am definitely going to use this tip.
    I just bought your book last week and I simply love it. Your paintings are magical and I really
    wish to learn this method.
    Much appreciation for what you do and for sharing with all of us.

    Thank you Olga! These tips are so valuable to me as a beginner at 69 years old. I didn’t know I should tap my brush before I put it to my painting and had no idea about waiting until my piece was dry before adding more paint unless I had added it quickly. When I stop and think it makes perfect sense but I never would have come up with that on my own. And using two brushes, genius idea!!! I just love your videos and want you to know how much I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and talent.

    I was thinking; Some watercolors change their vibrance when they are wet and when they dry. Any help?

    • @olgakoelsch
      @olgakoelsch  2 года назад +1

      That a good notice! It’s very natural for watercolors as paper absorbs some pigments. Cotton paper absorbs more than synthetic. Usually you just get used to your colors and know when it’s possible to add some more vibrancy 🤗
