Hi Lindsay, I loved this video and downloaded the sketch you had provided. When I printed it out it was VERY light. I thought it was my toner being low so we added more toner and printed it again. It is still very light, almost to light to see to be able to use it. Could you go over the sketch and make it darker please? This is most likely my favorite watercolor picture you have ever done. Thanks always.

oh shoot, I no longer have the sketch, maybe print on best setting so the lines are darker

Hi Lindsay! I am intrigued with the Quin. Alizarin Crimson color you used for this tutorial. When looking for it, I couldn’t find it in the QOR colors (individual tubes). They had a Quin. Crimson (PR122, PR206–it looks far bluer than your color), but nothing with Quin. Alizarin Crimson (PR177). Does it only come in a set?

Maybe I misspoke, it is permanent alizarin crimson if I used a Qor color because I only have the ones in the sets.
