How To Use The FAN BRUSH The Right Way! 

After receiving a lot of comments regarding the black canvas I used in this video, I created a newer tutorial on a white canvas which is easier to see😉 Here’s the link : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YFOxAnd_kfE.htmlsi=1p87QIXBda5xqvAs

The fan brush demonstration is just what I needed. I was ready to throw away my soft fan brush because it "spiked" and I thought it was just a bad brush. I have only been painting a year and your demonstration videos are worth their weight in gold! ⭐

wow! i thank you for these brush tutorials.. as a retired educator, i am always trying to bring young people into the field of art. but! realize that its always back to the basics. you are an excellent instructor..... Please ! keep up your tutorials on the basics... thank you again.. roberto ..

I have painted for twenty years and this demo was very helpful! Thank you

Now I see why your piece changes with every brush stroke. Every single stroke is deliberately, intentional and different from the next one. Thanks for this tutorial. I learned a lot!

You are the RU-vidr I've been searching for! As a new painter, this information is invaluable. Excellent demonstrations. Excellent explanations. Thank you!!

WOW, what a difference a brush makes! Thank you so much, REALLY REALLY enjoyed it and learned so much...THANX! 💚

I struggled with fan brushes , Now I know why,, Thank You for This 👍💕

Excellent demo! No one has ever showed me how to load and use these brushes correctly. Thank you! ( only thing is….the black on black was a little difficult to see)

Ohhh by the graces! The demo with the soft fan was so immensely validating. I am extremely new to painting and i didn't realize that there was so much difference in results between soft bristles and stiff bristles. I'm 42 and for my entire life I believed that stiff bristles were a sign that a brush was old and worn out and not useful anymore! I've been trying to make trees with my nice, soft, smooth fan brushes and beating myself up for not getting the results i wanted. I'm not even through the whole video yet and I've felt such a massive weight come off my shoulders because I thought I was doing something terribly wrong. Well, i mean i kind of am using such a thin brush but now i know that it's more because of my tools than me. I need a stiffer brush. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much.

Thank you so much. As a true wc newbie I have not made any mistakes yet or had frustrations with brushes yet. This is like a super beginner's class....teaching truly from the ground up!!

Love these learning sessions! Be great to expand on this and do diff subjects beginners struggle with! Thanks so much

This tutorial is fabulous. Yes, more please.

Brilliant Joni. Absolutely love this video and would love seeing more. Thank you so much.

Totally awesome and inspiring. I can’t wait to try. I’m new to this. Thank you for sharing your time with us ❤

Very informative Joni, thank you so much for being a great teacher. ❤❤

Thank you so much. This is going to help me tremendously. These learning sessions are appreciated by most of us all… ❤

Watched both brush examples. Learned alot about needing both brushes! Thanks Joni

Thank you for the demo on Fan Brushes. I have been struggling with waterfalls and grasses. Please keep up the videos, they are great. Great learning tools!

This was a terrific lesson and I've been an amateur painter for years. I learned a lot. Thank you.

This is what I've been looking for! Thank you Joni. You are an amazing teacher. I'm looking foward to learning from your tutorials. You made my day!

Hi Joni thanks so much. Please can you do a tutorial on the dagger brush. Much appreciated.

Thank you so very much for your tutorials ❤ I love the second tree that you painted using the fan brush the opposite way. I have been using my bristle fan brush trying to paint a waterfall this week without a lot of success and now thanks to this tutorial I will try again with my synthetic fan brush 😊

I learned sooooo much with this video and the liner video. Thank you!

Thank you loved this tutorial I had the general concept when using both brushes but your video truly helped me better manage my use of both ❤

Thank you! Great explanation! Help me a lot as I'm just started to paint.

At this point, due to Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS), I think I have about 1 trillion + brushes, yet only 3 of them are fan brushes. I never really found a use for them. This tutorial is helpful, so I learned a few things here, and then tested out your tricks out on the ones I have. I am a watercolorist, and 2 of my fans are soft, and the other is mid-range, so I don't have an actual stiff brush. My soft ones seem to be best for that striped waterfall effect. The mid-range one (Jackson's Stippler fan, medium), does lines very well, too, with watercolor paint, but the lines are thicker. None of my fans do trees well, but I think they could all do grass fairly okay along with waterfalls. There are few brushes I need/want at this point, but I think a stiff fan brush has just been added to the tiny list. I imagine it would be wonderful to use if I painted with acrylics or oils. Thank you for the tips. 😊

Wow that's awesome thank you new at all of watercolors and drawing every little thing helps. Your so easy to follow and understand. Will be watching you again .❤😊

Thank you so so much for taking the time to do this. It is a tremendous help. ❤

Excellent explanations 😊Thank you💐

Needed that for sure, great understanding thank you ❤❤❤

thank you for sharing it was very helpful.

Soooo glad I found you! I learned so much. I draw a lot of water, water falls, puddles wter drops, splashes and shorelines and so far i have been using watercolour pencils. Very time consuming a laborious to create the effects that you seem to create with very little effort with water colours. I will go back and study your preious videos. Thank you foryour generosity

This is so great ! I really needed to learn this . Thank you so much for all the details !

Thank You Joni for so much help

Thank you for this tutorial!!

Démonstration I'm waiting for. Very interesting tuto. Thanks.

Thank you, great video ❤

Tyvm ❤ you don't know how much this helps me!

Yes yes yes, you have solved many of my problems.......waterfalls particularly, I didn't like that little wimpy fan at all, now I know. Thank you! QUESTION, how do you manage to keep your acrylics to stay so wet on your pallet? Big piles?

I'm working on a dog portrait & this video has really helped me understand how to use my brushes. Thank-you.

This was such great information for me. Please do more of these.

Thank you for this. I adore waterfalls and now can't wait to give this a go.

I love this video...I am only recent to your channel, I love your teaching method, you provide so much Thank you

Thank you. your video is so helpful

This is very interesting. When I used my fan brush for the first time, I thought I bought the wrong type of brush when the brush separated itself when I was doing trees and clouds. I would have never thought of wiggling the brush to make it un-separated. Thank you, Joni, for this demonstration. 😊👌

Awesome ☺️. Thank you so much…. Yes, please show us how to load and use all the brushes. I’m just learning so this is so helpful. Thank you 🙏🏼
