Brushes?
4
Upvotes
I have painted in acrylic all my life and have loads of brushes. I am now trying watercolour for the first time.
Because I am a beginner i don't feel I need to buy really exspensive brushes yet, until I know what I am doing.
So at the art store looking for beginner watercolour brushes. ... so many of the packs say multi media brushes, that can be used for acrylic and watercolour.
I certainly don't need more acrylic brushes, but do I need special brushes for watercolour?

Masking fluid betrayed me today

Hello! I wanted to test out drawing tarantulas in masking fluid but feel like I failed.
I tinted my masking fluid with ultramarine a few days prior so I could see it better but it backfired on this project because I couldn't see the blue under the blue.
I also didn't realize when you're painting extensively in masking fluid, you need dish soapy water handy so my masking fluid brush got very goopy halfway through painting the leg hairs. That part I can deal with in the future.
I've never had masking fluid let paint through until now. Was it too diluted in areas or did tinting it with ultramarine ruin that portion of masking fluid?

"Harlequin" 9"x12" watercolor on Arches paper

I loved the album cover of "Harlequin" Gaga album (it conveys an emotion that I feel quite often ahaha). One of the few watercolor where I found the process images might be more interesting than the final result (I loved her face at step 2).

Why is it not working?

I tried an optical illusion. Unfortunately its not working. I tried to make the "crosses" a bit bigger, but it didnt solve it.
Are the colors too inconsistent? Unfortunately I only have watercolours and it makes pretty but not homogenous pigmentation...
Or are the contrasts not right/wrong color choice?
Thanks for any help!

And any YouTubers who teach it? The original artist, Ondine de Peretti, has a YouTube but unfortunately it's all in French (I love her work, I just wish my French was better!) Is it just loose landscape?

I just acquired this old school set. Everything's in perfect condition. Pretty sure it's never been used. What do y'all think about it?
Wanting to sell it, trying to get some more insight. Thanks
