How to soften an edge in watercolour 

Thanks, Grahame. The insight of giving the paint somewhere to go rather than pushing straight into the edge is a light bulb moment.

Wonderful drawing! Super superb water drawing! Wonderful work dear friend🌹🌹🌹

Wow, I have never seen this explained this way. It was definitely a light bulb moment for me as well. Thank you!

Ironically, I was trying to soften an edge just now and your video popped up. Thank you, I was in need of help. 🇨🇦 just tried it an it worked perfectly. You saved me a lot of time.

Outstanding video. Thank you so much! This explains a lot to me. It explains why sometimes the areas that I tried to soften look great at other times not so much. Now I know why.

Brilliantly explained. Thank you, sir.

Wonderful little video Grahame! I don't recall hearing your amazing tip (to keep the brush on the paper & not lifting it until move away from the paint ) before . What a difference since I started following it! Your paintings are stunning!

I’m embarrassed to say that I’ve been painting for about eight years and never learned this method before. Thank you for finally ending my ignorance and teaching me the right way to soften edges. 🩵

Amazing tips Grahame, thank you so much !...

Beautifully explained ❤

Excellent tips!

Enlightening, great tip for learners (me), thanks a lot.

Thank you very much, you explained it very clearly

Just found you Grahame as you’ve been recommended as one of the best watercolour artists. This has been so helpful I find it’s great following tutorials but I never knew any of these tips as you’re the first to explain why you use these techniques. Another Northern Irish person here 🤩total beginner.

Just what I need

Great explanation Grahame thank you, I could listen to your voice all day 🤭

excellent lesson!

I love your style…. Quite lovely

Very helpful video. Thankyou.

Thank you, I needed to see and hear this. I have been wondering what I am doing wrong when I soften edges. This helped alot! Thx you!

Great to see a new video Grahame, love your Searchpress books.

Learned something from this and I’ve been painting for awhile. Thanks

Thank you for this valuable tip! I really needed this technique and it totally makes sense!!!

Brilliant! Thank you for making it so clear.

Great! Thank you!

Grazie!

Great insight..thank you very much. I m inspired to buy your book. What is the title of the book? Thank you for sharing your talent

Thank you. I love your palette. May I ask where it’s from? I paint on location and would like to find a palette with more mixing area. I find it hard to remember all the techniques as I paint so fast and get carried away trying to capture the moment figures mainly. I don’t draw before I paint but maybe I should. I’m looking for an affordable mop brush so watched your video on materials but didn’t get the size. Love your work 😊
