  • Your painting turned out wonderfully! We are really glad that you enjoyed painting with our Aqua Drops! 🥰🥰🥰
  • @TaraSueSalusso
    Just some advise for when you do a watercolor pour. It’s good to have a loose sheet of paper rather than working from a block. Then you can manipulate your paper to move the water around on the surface. It’s not just tipping back and forth but rather it allows you to contour the page to move the water into various areas. It is also good to use for pipettes to add water to your paint and to add the paint to your watercolor paper. In your example, when you dropped the paint onto the paper and then used your brush to push the paint around that’s not considered a watercolor pour. Your final outcome turned out beautifully. Your advice about the masking fluid was very valuable.

    I was watching on my phone and found myself tilting it when you were pouring. Lol!
  • @mindofwatercolor
    So fun. Never tried this technique but it turned out just great!
  • @rainbowfox1934
    It turned out beautifully. Pouring paint is so wild. Sometimes, it fails, but when it works, it is fabulous.
  • @deniseanne3501
    Just a tip for masking fluid application. You can use dental tools, or mail decorating tools. They work great and easy to clean and it gets you clean edges! 😊
  • @timeenuf4200
    This is the first time I've heard of watercolor pouring. Gorgeous and looks like fun. Thanks for sharing.
  • @lorihanby6733
    I loved watching the multiple layers of masking fluid. 😊
  • @marionbik2022
    This turned out so well! I’ve avoided investigating watercolour pouring as a technique. I thought it would be too messy and uncontrollable. You’ve made me rethink this process. Thank you once again for sharing. 🙏🏼✨🎨💕
  • @DB-zo5ng
    Thank you, wonderful video, the masking fluid tip about using a soaped brush is invaluable.
  • @Aydeet2
    Emily, this was soooo coooool!! Love it and thanks!
  • @TheGypsyChic1
    Thank you so much for sharing this technique! I purchased these on a Black Friday sale a few years ago. While they were fun, they were in my use or loose it drawer for this year. I had not found a reason to use these rather than traditional watercolors. Thanks for the inspiration and reminder to try them again. Also, can you please link the large ceramic butcher tray palette? Thanks~Stephanie Davis
