I just bought the loose gang & subscribed to the academy! I’m practicing the techniques & my painting is terrible. Too much water where the grain in the paper is showing & water stains on the edges of the shapes. I’ve tried using less water on the paper & on the brush, but then it’s not loose. If I use the water amount Andrew does on the videos, I cannot replicate the results. Using 140lb paper…does the brand of paper make a big difference? Any tips from the group?

  If you watch Andy, he swishes his brush clean in water, wipes it on paper towel, then dips the end of the brush, not all the way up to the ferrule, in water. Practicing water control is an art in itself; there’s no specific instruction.
