Val, I'm so amazed at the progress you're making with all your watercolour paintings!
You did great on this one! I really like all of it including the people. I like the pose of the fellow in the blue shirt!
You've had fun using both big brush and little.

Lillian. I'm still unnerved by adding people. I am reasonably pleased with these...they do resemble people somewhat, the blue guy is my favourite too. I tried to make the orange one look like walking in the water...I think it looks more like it has 'gumby' legs!
practice, practice, practice!

Hmmmm, interesting brush, Val.
I really like it when you folks post your tools. It helps me visualize what you are talking about. Thanks.

Judie, it would appear the rum did help!
Your welcome Mea.
Yep....11 hours. Bman.
Sure beats when it used to take me a week and more.

Hi everyone
This one wasn't so much a "Hake Brush" demo for me as it was a "Gesso Brush Demo" because not having a Hake Brush, I had to use a hogs hair bristle Gesso brush instead. Dennis seemed to have a lot easier time with his nice soft Hake Brush.

Let me know how you think it turned out.

I think it turned out great Batman! The texture looks different which gives it a nice interesting touch - almost like you used super rough watercolor paper. Love your color/tonal contrasts, gives your painting a richness to it

Batman, actually a very good painting with a Gesso brush
Well done
I just feel that the sand in the middle is a bit too dark. Nice clouds.

Hmm, I had a look previously, and the best I could find a set for was around $20.
