Watercolor Painting: Using Water

Video Transcript

"Okay, you're also going to need some water. I recommend that you make it deep enough that you don't have to bend your brush at the bottom, 'cause that's not good, it'll train your brush to be bent, and you don't need a bent brush. You want to keep this about four inches away, so when you squeegee it out, it won't have a chance of splattering onto your paper, and I like it clear, and lower than tall. The reason for that is it won't tip over, and you can see when it needs to, the water needs to be changed. So, I'm going to clean the brush, and the way you clean it is you just dip it into the water, you don't strut it around, and then you clean it on the paper towel until comes out on the paper towel, if you need to clean it completely that is. Okay."
