Modern Watercolor Techniques: Beginner's Level

Jeanie, when you use acrylics it's very important to not let the paint dry on your brush! Make sure to clean right after using :) Great job!

Hi Ana Victoria, 
I'm so thrilled that you are paying attention and giving feedback on my work! I've done a few other classes and you are the first teacher to respond in any way. 
Yes, I had problems with trying to get the white acrylic to flow (but it wasn't drying on the brush), so I bought better quality paint which helped but I still need a lot of practice to get really fine straight lines.  I also had a problem with trying to get the white paint to spatter, it was coming off more like a mist than a spatter so finally I used a toothbrush which was a little better but not perfect.
Thank you so much for your valuable  feedback Ana Victoria  :o)

Thank you for taking my class!! I highly recommend this product for brush cleaning: <a class="url" href="http://www.dickblick.com/products/the-masters-brush-cleaner-and-preserver/" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank">http://www.dickblick.com/products/the-masters-brush-cleaner-and-preserver/</a>

Thanks Ana Victoria and I have the brush cleaner on my art supply shopping list.  However, my paint brush was perfectly clean so I think it was because I didn't have enough water in this instance. It's so hard to get the consistency just right and not have the watercolor bleeding through.

I was not able to get the acrylic white paint to flow off the brush, hence the wide, draggy looking lines for my solar systems. &nbsp;Frustrating!
