  Hello! Wonderful video as usual. I really enjoy your content. Very informative very inspirational. Just a side note on the Magic Eraser, artists beware of buying Magic Eraser with either detergent or fragrance added. These can potentially alter the composition of your surface sizing and mix with your paints. The original fragrance/detergent-free Magic Eraser can be a painting saver and add some amazing highlights and texture!!! Happy texturizing!!!! And thanks again, Oto, for such amazing videos!!!!🎨🖌️💕💕😄

  Why on earth did 450 people feel moved to give this video a "thumbs-down"? What were these people expecting? It promises eight techniques. Count them-- there are eight techniques demonstrated. In what way did this video fail that requires castigation?

  For Bubble Printing... you might try taking your paper and setting it face down on the bowl you have just blown bubbles into.  Easier than trying to put the bubbles onto the paper.

  You're like the mad scientist of amazing new things to try with watercolors. I'm still marveling at your multi part color theory series. No one's come close to explaining color theory with your depth and clarity. I love your channel, and thanks for taking what must be a lot of time to share your techniques, insights and discoveries.

  Instead of salt in the water, you can sprinkle the salt over your paint while it is still wet. This prevents salt getting in your paint and works just as well as long as your paint is quite wet.

  The magic eraser seems like a great way to add in light rays.

  Using a teflon “bone” folder to burnish the paper after using the magic eraser usually gets a paintable surface again. This works even for removing staining colors such as reds from the paper

  I would like to have seen how you remove some of the texture medium...the gauze, the rice, the masking fluid.

  The magic eraser thing is crazy. Did you hear about that somewhere or did you just discover that?  Because that's a super effective way of lifting.  I bet you could attach a tiny piece of the eraser to the end of a brush for fine details.

  Fun video, clear and concise - thank you.  I think the results from the baking sheet surprised me the most - it’s stunning!   I can’t wait to try out some swampy water looks❤️
