===========================================

In this free excerpt from the master class, watercolor artist Elena Bazanova demonstrates her approach to testing brushes and explains why different brushes react completely differently with water and paint.

Using the example of painting grasses and delicate plant elements, you will see:

• How to test the softness and elasticity of a brush;
• How brushes differ in the amount of water and the nature of the brushstroke;
• How to work with soft, calligraphic, and textured brushes and liners;
• How to use an eraser brush and washes;
• How to create complex gray and green tones;
• How to work on dry and wet paper;
• How to create textures with a single brushstroke;
• Why it's important to test not only the brush but also the paper and paint before starting.

Elena demonstrates exercises on live subjects and discusses how observing a simple blade of grass helps develop a sense of water, precision, artistic vision, and an understanding of the capabilities of the brush.

This lesson is a free part of a larger master class by Elena Bazanova. After the brush exercises, the main work begins: a delicate white and green bouquet with ranunculus, carnations, chrysanthemums, snapdragons, eucalyptus, and herbs.
