Yes, you CAN paint watercolors with backgrounds! Join me as I show you how easy it can be, as I add life and depth to a simple watercolor flower painting by giving it a background. Try this technique yourself and I'm confident you'll never look back!

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 112, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...
