Round or Oval Mop Bush exceptionally soft brush designed to put down a significant amount of water and pigment. It can do the opposite and "mop up" to make highlights. In watercolor, it is the primary tool used for covering large areas quickly without leaving the "streaky" marks that a smaller or stiffer brush might.

Hake Brush Unlike the rounded Mop brush, the Hake is flat and broad, making it perfect for sweeping, horizontal movements across a large surface.

Japanese Script Brush when brush is splayed it can make interesting marks. Great for painting hair, grass, leaves and in this case, bird nesting material.

Munsell Value Scale indicates the lightness of a color. The scale of value ranges from 1 for pure black to 9 for pure white. Black, white and the grays between them are called “neutral colors”.

Pigment Color Index refers to all pigments having individual characteristics including transparency/opacity, tinting strength, granulation drying rate, lightfastness, and permanence. All of which have a huge impact on your painting.

Remove Masking Fluid is removed only after the painting has completely dried. My advice to use a rubber cement pick up eraser.
