How do I hold the brush?” is one of the first questions people ask when starting a watercolor practice.

And it's an important question because you can get very different effects all depending on your hold!

So in this first part of a two-part series, I show you some fundamental brush techniques and holds for watercolor. We'll use a basic circle shape and also incorporate wet-on-wet technique.

This video is a segment from my Complete Watercolor Guide for Beginners. For the full video and all the chapters, check out this playlist.
