1 00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:06,330 well a few people have asked me if I use 2 00:00:02,100 --> 00:00:09,210 aqua brushes like this and the answer is 3 00:00:06,330 --> 00:00:12,359 no but I've got myself a pack and I 4 00:00:09,210 --> 00:00:15,809 thought I'd share my experience with you 5 00:00:12,359 --> 00:00:17,820 and these are made by pan tell I think 6 00:00:15,808 --> 00:00:19,349 of there are other brands available it's 7 00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:21,240 just a kind of a brush and you fill it 8 00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:23,910 up with water inside unscrew the barrel 9 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,618 and fill two line indicator apply 10 00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:28,289 pressure to the barrel to increase water 11 00:00:25,618 --> 00:00:29,730 flow to give desired effect squeezing 12 00:00:28,289 --> 00:00:31,289 the barrel continuously will flush 13 00:00:29,730 --> 00:00:33,359 through the previous color on the tip 14 00:00:31,289 --> 00:00:36,090 well that sounds interesting 15 00:00:33,359 --> 00:00:40,738 okay so let's see what happens if I open 16 00:00:36,090 --> 00:00:42,030 it up if I can open it up infernal 17 00:00:40,738 --> 00:00:46,500 bubble pack things that are really 18 00:00:42,030 --> 00:00:50,879 difficult to open on them oh there we go 19 00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:55,439 right so what have we got there a kind 20 00:00:50,878 --> 00:00:58,349 of blessed it's quite squeezy and that I 21 00:00:55,439 --> 00:01:01,229 felt was gonna unscrew but it's a pop 22 00:00:58,350 --> 00:01:04,198 off kind of thing so that's um you know 23 00:01:01,229 --> 00:01:07,319 it's little brush basically and that's 24 00:01:04,198 --> 00:01:09,209 the thinner one that's an even thinner 25 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,629 one cool I'm gonna go and fill these up 26 00:01:09,209 --> 00:01:15,569 with water so here we are we have to 27 00:01:11,629 --> 00:01:18,118 unscrew I've got this neat little tap 28 00:01:15,569 --> 00:01:21,779 here which will make it easier to fill 29 00:01:18,118 --> 00:01:25,500 it up with and then screw it back on 30 00:01:21,780 --> 00:01:28,799 this is the very fine brush this one and 31 00:01:25,500 --> 00:01:31,739 if you squeeze it oh the water comes 32 00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:34,909 through into the brush so I'll fill up 33 00:01:31,739 --> 00:01:34,908 the others and see what happens 34 00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:42,700 three full watercolor brushes let's go 35 00:01:38,620 --> 00:01:44,228 and try them out oh well here we go I'm 36 00:01:42,700 --> 00:01:46,689 gonna do really loose painting this is 37 00:01:44,228 --> 00:01:51,340 unlike what I normally do and I've got 38 00:01:46,689 --> 00:01:54,459 my trusty old Windsor Newton watercolor 39 00:01:51,340 --> 00:01:58,960 set here which I've had for 30-something 40 00:01:54,459 --> 00:02:01,000 years a long time I'm gonna use the 41 00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:03,158 other colors work yeah this is the big 42 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,319 big one here well I'm gonna get some of 43 00:02:03,159 --> 00:02:09,129 this as I think cadmium yellow I don't 44 00:02:05,319 --> 00:02:12,069 know what colors I've gone in I'm just 45 00:02:09,129 --> 00:02:14,289 gonna drill some flowers so what I'm 46 00:02:12,069 --> 00:02:15,759 doing I'm just kind of squeezing 47 00:02:14,289 --> 00:02:17,229 slightly oh yeah 48 00:02:15,759 --> 00:02:21,370 so what I'm doing I'm just gonna 49 00:02:17,229 --> 00:02:27,849 squeezing that that the barrel slightly 50 00:02:21,370 --> 00:02:31,150 and then that's giving me sort of water 51 00:02:27,849 --> 00:02:33,069 to fill up so it's it's quite good I am 52 00:02:31,150 --> 00:02:35,560 I think it'll be really useful if you're 53 00:02:33,069 --> 00:02:37,479 going out sketching and maybe that's 54 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:40,180 what I'll do next week next week I'm 55 00:02:37,479 --> 00:02:46,089 going to be in Kazakh in the late 56 00:02:40,180 --> 00:02:47,230 district of England and I might meet 57 00:02:46,090 --> 00:02:49,360 some of you there because I'm going to 58 00:02:47,229 --> 00:02:52,389 be doing drawing lessons and stuff at 59 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:57,970 the pencil factory there and then I'm 60 00:02:52,389 --> 00:02:59,649 gonna go off out into tippet of I'm just 61 00:02:57,969 --> 00:03:01,509 putting some orange in it I've no idea 62 00:02:59,650 --> 00:03:05,319 what this orange is I'm sorry I should 63 00:03:01,509 --> 00:03:08,078 know what all these colors are I just 64 00:03:05,319 --> 00:03:12,370 buy them and shove it in there so I'm 65 00:03:08,079 --> 00:03:13,930 just dropping that in and now and see 66 00:03:12,370 --> 00:03:16,390 what how could this easy this is to 67 00:03:13,930 --> 00:03:19,090 clean and it says just to sort of 68 00:03:16,389 --> 00:03:21,849 squeeze and drip and then that should 69 00:03:19,090 --> 00:03:22,769 kind of get rid of it and yeah that's 70 00:03:21,849 --> 00:03:27,789 pretty good 71 00:03:22,769 --> 00:03:29,969 that's cleaned it a little bit this is 72 00:03:27,789 --> 00:03:34,949 one of my favourite colours which is 73 00:03:29,969 --> 00:03:34,949 bizarrely favorite color this is called 74 00:03:37,569 --> 00:03:48,560 neutral-tinted after anything together 75 00:03:40,340 --> 00:03:56,860 and I just kind of sketch Imber these 76 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:56,860 gonna Daisy petals 77 00:04:07,939 --> 00:04:12,050 most businesses have trying to get a bit 78 00:04:10,039 --> 00:04:16,310 of this showing over there in fact let 79 00:04:12,050 --> 00:04:17,840 they made this made that there so you 80 00:04:16,310 --> 00:04:23,269 can see me doing a little bit of mixing 81 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:24,739 going on it's not easy and so that this 82 00:04:23,269 --> 00:04:26,810 has really gone really quite dark so I'm 83 00:04:24,740 --> 00:04:29,090 gonna add that and I just squeeze little 84 00:04:26,810 --> 00:04:34,730 squeezes in some water I will finish out 85 00:04:29,089 --> 00:04:48,009 for me so that's nice so I'm just doing 86 00:04:34,730 --> 00:04:56,840 these kind of petals just fairly random 87 00:04:48,009 --> 00:05:00,110 some hiding behind other ones and 88 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:06,679 they're all different numbers of petals 89 00:05:00,110 --> 00:05:11,900 and you know this is just abstract I 90 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:13,220 suppose I'm talking of which side a few 91 00:05:11,899 --> 00:05:16,659 people have asked me about abstract 92 00:05:13,220 --> 00:05:19,910 something out then a huge amount about 93 00:05:16,660 --> 00:05:23,090 and I asked a friend of mine he's a 94 00:05:19,910 --> 00:05:26,480 photographer but she kind of does 95 00:05:23,089 --> 00:05:29,810 abstract photography and she's a better 96 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:32,629 person for loss it for - I never asked 97 00:05:29,810 --> 00:05:35,300 her if maybe a weekend if I could 98 00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:36,829 interview her and talk about abstract so 99 00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:40,780 let me know if you think that would be a 100 00:05:36,829 --> 00:05:45,349 good idea in the comments box below 101 00:05:40,779 --> 00:05:48,039 then I'll stop getting that all 102 00:05:45,350 --> 00:05:48,040 organized 103 00:05:57,610 --> 00:06:04,399 now what I'm gonna do is I'm going to 104 00:06:01,369 --> 00:06:06,199 just kind of if you watch so it kind of 105 00:06:04,399 --> 00:06:08,990 squeezed a bit of water onto there and I 106 00:06:06,199 --> 00:06:12,830 can add a bit of green in there and now 107 00:06:08,990 --> 00:06:21,999 I'm just going to just fill in all the 108 00:06:12,829 --> 00:06:21,998 spaces I might speed this up 109 00:06:30,639 --> 00:06:34,240 I don't suppose abstracts the wrong word 110 00:06:32,949 --> 00:06:36,780 and it is a sort of impressionist 111 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,780 difícil 112 00:06:45,249 --> 00:06:57,669 I shocked I think if I was doing this no 113 00:06:49,838 --> 00:06:59,728 doubt I'd use a bigger brush you know 114 00:06:57,668 --> 00:07:02,519 this is taking forever to feather and no 115 00:06:59,728 --> 00:07:10,329 bigger the brush the faster you can fill 116 00:07:02,519 --> 00:07:13,869 fill in an area I think I'm doing this 117 00:07:10,329 --> 00:07:17,489 because I'm anticipating a long hot 118 00:07:13,869 --> 00:07:20,019 summer after this raising cold endless 119 00:07:17,488 --> 00:07:27,368 winter that we've been having spring 120 00:07:20,019 --> 00:07:29,739 just doesn't want to sprung breeze a bit 121 00:07:27,369 --> 00:07:32,319 more water in there there's quite a lot 122 00:07:29,738 --> 00:07:34,808 darker isn't it so what I can't do that 123 00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:38,739 you see I can squeeze a bit of water in 124 00:07:34,809 --> 00:07:41,709 there just to kind of thin it down as 125 00:07:38,738 --> 00:07:48,308 I'm going along so that's useful I like 126 00:07:41,709 --> 00:08:00,879 that um I do you want to get this quite 127 00:07:48,309 --> 00:08:03,149 a bit darker below in the middle of the 128 00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:03,149 bunch 129 00:08:03,329 --> 00:08:13,860 this is painting wet on wet which again 130 00:08:06,459 --> 00:08:19,329 is something I really do and only very 131 00:08:13,860 --> 00:08:21,218 kind of indicative for Nikoli and not 132 00:08:19,329 --> 00:08:24,879 kind of us both better graphic down away 133 00:08:21,218 --> 00:08:26,079 but than this it's kind of fun to do 134 00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:29,309 this kind of thing every now and then 135 00:08:26,079 --> 00:08:29,309 just play 136 00:08:36,549 --> 00:08:42,918 well I'm gonna have a bit of blue in 137 00:08:38,899 --> 00:08:46,360 there now I gotta clean that hell it up 138 00:08:42,918 --> 00:08:50,929 a bit they're squirting some water 139 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:54,680 there's too much bleep anyway um and 140 00:08:50,929 --> 00:08:58,338 that's much too right anyway I'm gonna 141 00:08:54,679 --> 00:09:04,039 put a little bit of shadow behind the 142 00:08:58,339 --> 00:09:11,300 yellows there it's a hint of the 143 00:09:04,039 --> 00:09:16,120 modeling on the petals and you probably 144 00:09:11,299 --> 00:09:21,409 notice I'm doing this with one one brush 145 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:22,970 this is the big one let me try this 146 00:09:21,409 --> 00:09:24,889 little one here and what I'm gonna use 147 00:09:22,970 --> 00:09:27,009 it for a different thing use at 148 00:09:24,889 --> 00:09:30,319 different times but a bit more green a 149 00:09:27,009 --> 00:09:44,450 bit more water just squeeze some water 150 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:46,820 in there Oh see but joint sighs I've 151 00:09:44,450 --> 00:09:54,259 been a definite kind of brush mark there 152 00:09:46,820 --> 00:10:02,360 so I'm just gonna lay down this little 153 00:09:54,259 --> 00:10:04,490 pattern and I want them mostly basically 154 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:10,070 down below underneath so these are gonna 155 00:10:04,490 --> 00:10:17,149 be kind of shadow effects in the dark 156 00:10:10,070 --> 00:10:21,290 below in the flower bed or in the bowels 157 00:10:17,149 --> 00:10:23,360 if they they might be well that's it if 158 00:10:21,289 --> 00:10:27,078 all the flowers might make us change and 159 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:30,409 part of that and so I'm using these it's 160 00:10:27,078 --> 00:10:33,939 almost calligraphic isn't it just to get 161 00:10:30,409 --> 00:10:36,219 a little kind of texture in there 162 00:10:33,940 --> 00:10:38,080 and clean this brush let's see how this 163 00:10:36,220 --> 00:10:42,279 goes so they say just flush it through 164 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:47,139 and mmm was quite a serious color isn't 165 00:10:42,279 --> 00:10:52,600 it so I'm gonna put a little bit of make 166 00:10:47,139 --> 00:10:57,009 this a bit more squeeze it there I just 167 00:10:52,600 --> 00:11:02,889 made that's still too light so I'm gonna 168 00:10:57,009 --> 00:11:17,139 want some of these to be below in the 169 00:11:02,889 --> 00:11:27,549 shadow and this I think is tea so I'm 170 00:11:17,139 --> 00:11:33,370 gonna squeeze some water in there down 171 00:11:27,549 --> 00:11:37,269 below this is completely unplanned and 172 00:11:33,370 --> 00:11:40,990 out of my head as well I'm just gonna 173 00:11:37,269 --> 00:11:42,309 get a little bit more kind of aura and I 174 00:11:40,990 --> 00:11:47,200 get a little bit more kind of orange 175 00:11:42,309 --> 00:11:54,519 eNOS just to know just to brighten up 176 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:59,490 the flower to flower middle bits stamens 177 00:11:54,519 --> 00:12:02,110 anthers or whatever it's called and then 178 00:11:59,490 --> 00:12:03,700 I'm just gonna squirt out the orange 179 00:12:02,110 --> 00:12:06,850 from that and I'm gonna come back to 180 00:12:03,700 --> 00:12:12,690 this green here and I'm gonna bit more 181 00:12:06,850 --> 00:12:17,230 blue in there and I think I just want a 182 00:12:12,690 --> 00:12:25,380 bit more of this kind of kind of graphic 183 00:12:17,230 --> 00:12:25,379 bit down here so washing in 184 00:12:30,620 --> 00:12:35,850 well there we go I'm gonna say that that 185 00:12:32,700 --> 00:12:38,160 is it and I think that was really quite 186 00:12:35,850 --> 00:12:40,830 interesting for me anyway so I'm gonna 187 00:12:38,159 --> 00:12:43,278 try squeezing you know most of the cars 188 00:12:40,830 --> 00:12:46,470 I think some colors are gonna stain 189 00:12:43,278 --> 00:12:50,909 brush tips and these are kind of a very 190 00:12:46,470 --> 00:12:52,589 fine nylon brush tips on there and in a 191 00:12:50,909 --> 00:12:56,719 way it kind of reminds me a bit like my 192 00:12:52,589 --> 00:12:56,720 Copic markers say how quite like that 193 00:12:57,740 --> 00:13:02,129 and I think they're jolly good fun so 194 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,769 next week I will take them out with me 195 00:13:02,129 --> 00:13:06,088 and I will do a kind of a landscape 196 00:13:04,769 --> 00:13:08,028 thing because other people people have 197 00:13:06,089 --> 00:13:11,520 been asking me to do landscapes as well 198 00:13:08,028 --> 00:13:13,889 and we'll see how that goes but I
