Brush Control excercises to become a master in Watercolor 

As a 9 year old boy, my school teacher made me do penmanship exercises to develop a beautiful hand, and as much as I did not like it, I am eternally grateful today because of my handwriting skills. While at home during the global pandemic, I have started to play with watercolours, and I am really enjoying it, but I have been struggling to find brush exercises to help develop my hand the way my schoolteacher did with my penmanship. BRAVA, you shared with us, EXACTLY what I am looking for, and this afternoon I plan to pull out my paper and watercolours, make a pot of tea and try some of your exercises, and I'm very much looking forward to it. Thank you, your newest subscriber and grateful student!

I do hope you realise what an excellent service you are providing here. Thank you. 👌💕

Thanks so much for this - most tutorials or even books don't mention much at all about brushstrokes. I'm digging the stamping !

So thankful to have found you on Start Your Art! I will forever thank Misty for introducing so many wonderful watercolor instructors. I have been looking for "watercolor drills" like this -- something that I can come home from work and practice these exercises -- without having to plan what I am going to paint or worrying if it's going to turn out a certain way. This is just great. Thank you!

Hello. I'm a newbie at watercolor painting. These exercises are just what I need to improve my brush control. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing Camilla! I’ve been looking for some practice exercises that do exactly these things, demonstrate brush strokes and suggestions on what and where they can be used. You’ve helped this newbie to watercolor today.

Qué vídeo tan maravilloso! Felicidades! What a wonderful video! Congratulations!Thank you very much!

Finally found how to practice brush strokes...just like learning to play clarinet scales for warm up and dexterity!! Thankyou

Practised today, very nicely explained and am just getting hooked to do more and more practice of different strokes!

Lovely exercise for me to try - your voice is so calm too

Greetings Camilla and thank you for the video. Question- Pardon my ignorance but what exactly does this exercise do/will this do for me? How does this exercise help my landscape painting? How do I use/apply this in landscape painting? Thanks.

👌💕

So is it necessary to use watercolor paper or is it alright to use just sketching paper ?

Can somebody tell me what type of brushes do I really need for watercolor? Please😭🙏
