This is the pretty brush. It's about $15. And it's just available in any paint store. Purdy. It's called a cutting brush. It's on an angle like that, and it's synthetic, you can see the bounce.

Advantage of a big brush is that you have to work broadly. You can see that this whole wash was put on with one little movement of this brush or a brush similar to it. So that's the pretty brush. Let's just put that right there. This one Hey, I discovered on the internet, I was looking up Picasso, and they're advertising the Picasso brush. Apparently Picasso used host paints when he painted because the house paints for shine here.

This is what a paint chemist said. So some entrepreneur made a Picasso brush. It's called Picasso. I paid $8 and 79 cents for this. It's a great brush less flexible as this pretty brushes. See the pretty brush really springing which is nice, but this one actually even holds more water and it's less expensive.

It holds lots of paint, and that's what I went and did. When I did this, I did a little shot of red and then the blue at the top. Okay, now we have a selection of I'm not sure what these are I found them in a store once. They might be for silk screening or they're called low Cornell. They work really well to see if you're working with smaller pieces of paper. You don't need a brush that holds enormous amounts of light and this is a little brush too.

And that'll work. I bought about five of these for $10 and this is a smaller version of this one. So here we have all kinds of wide brushes. We have a real hammer Full and all these brushes together might have cost $100. But if each of them was a sable or a squirrel hairbrush probably have $2,000 worth of brushes. These are called hockey brushes.

They're from Japan, China. They're used in Asia. And they're just made of goats hair. And they work very well. I've used them for years we have our basic flat brush, which would work too. You could use this for $12.

And last but not least, our Chinese round brush, which I have used before too, and they hold lots of water. So what wouldn't work? This would not work. This would be for details. If you have a big brush to get started with the California style watercolor here's my jug of water. Always use a big jug.

Water. That way, you don't have to clean this out all the time because as soon as you put your brush in there and there's not enough water, you're going to be rinsing and having to empty it in the middle of your painting session. So have lots of water available. This is my other palette. You can see it's a deep well palette. And of course the facial scene will stain it but it's all dry, it doesn't affect I could put yellow in any of these.

So basically three, three colors to start with. Let's say I started with some fail scene. And I can put a little bit here it's tilted automatically tilted on so you know the water is going to run down. It's perfect. And then I can take my brush and put some water here for one a little bit here. I can mix up different strengths.

So this is a wonderful little palette nine nine cents and I got a few of them here. I've got two of them. So $2 pigments just another fancy word for color. And color is red. The hue is Alizarin. So pigment color, red hue, a lizard Alizarin Crimson number one.

It's a good staining color and it's transparent. There's a lizard right there. Next cobalt. cobalt blue is make makes the best violence ultramarine blue, deep greens, moody Gray's. Cold blues. Fail scene blue.

Very versatile. gives you good violets. Very good luck. That are transparent, it's very transparent. These two are not as transparent. So they have to be used a little thinner.

Whereas this one, you can use quite a bit of it before it gets pasty looking. And of course our yellow for today is as Oh, but you can use Indian yellow, you can use Hansa yellow, you can use as a nickel yellow or nickel as a yellow. All those yellows are transparent. yellows like yellow ochre. Those are a little more heavy, and they have their place to here's your basic setup paper. If you're left handed the pallets on the left.

Come across here you can put your water over there to trick is not to when you dipping have your water come across your paper. See don't drip you come around from here. So the waters, position it where you like it. The basic Paper we're using this is a little. This is a little bigger but piece of paper that fits there. It'd be seven inches by 10 inches not too big
