Need help with water colours

Hello everyone! I'm fairly new to Rebelle and absolutely loving it. I am, however, struggling with the water colours. I can only manage to create a big blop of a never stopping extending round drop. Does anyone has certain brushes they recommend? How can I achieve this water colour look: The size of the colour extends, yet it doesn't just become a big circle, it rather actually creates drops and drips that descend as single entities. And it forms that nice darker edge on one side, while slightly vanishing on the other. I don't know if my description is helpful, I hope you get what I mean. TL;DR: What are the best watercolour brushes? Which settings do you recommend to achieve the best, most natural water colour effect.

[/QUOTE] It's difficult to know what effect you're aiming for based solely on your description. Posting some example images would be very helpful. A simple YouTube search for "Rebelle Watercolor" reveals a lot of videos on this topic. Escape Motion's own YouTube channel also has some.
