- These are so fun to do! This tutorial video is a little closer to a process video since the steps aren't as specific as other tutorials I've done, but I talk you through each step of how I create this 3-D, joyful, champagne-like bubble fest!
Supplies you need for watercolor Bubbles and Bokeh:
- Watercolor paint, paper, and brushes. For the brushes I recommend a rounder brush, a pointier brush, and a fan brush for texture.
- Bleedproof white or white gouache
- White gel pen
- Metallic watercolor, gouache, or face paint
- Round sponge (I recommend a finger dobber)
- Water
- Old towel to wipe excess paint/water
- Round circle stencil
- Painters tape (optional)
- Salt (optional)

These could be Christmas balls too? Put a gold top and string.
Yes! I did a Christmas ornament one last year and made cards out of it, and it turned out great!
Love love this!! If you can I'd like to see your Christmas one 😊
I agree with all the comments on here and then some... The beautiful colors caught my attention to watch. Simply beautiful and realistic looking . I think I will share this with my grandchildren as well. They love when they can create artwork that amazes them when their done.. thank you for your sharing your talent with us, your such an inspiration.
Frankfurt Germany here. I’m no artist but I do wall and floor paint treatments. I know true talent when I see it. Your art inspires me. You show real mastery with color and blending. I bow to you. Thank you for sharing.
Awwwwwww your comment warms my heart!! Thank you so much for stopping in and having a watch and danke schon for taking the time to comment on the video. I hope you have an amazing day!
Hi, I think you're using gold rub instead of paint. I was wondering how well it drys?
Thank you, beautiful bubbles!! So fun to watch!🤍🩵💜
I'm so glad you enjoyed it and I hope your day is as joyful as a bowl full of bubbles!
Oh wow! That´s absolutely awesome! Looks really realistic! I love it🥰
Thank you so much for watching, and I love that bubbles are really forgiving when you add the 3D effects to them. Hope to see you back soon!
I am glad you talk when you think so I can hear you too 😊 new sub waving hi.
I’m so glad you came across my feed!! I’m going to binge watch the rest of your videos after enjoying this one!
Yeeees! Who doesn't love a good binge 😂 So glad to have you here with me!
@@kindredsoulart2111 MWAH!!!
Thank you for verbalizing your thoughts as you go along. It's really helpful and a lot more interesting than just silence or music.
You are so welcome! My brain has a hard time thinking/speaking while I'm painting so I'm glad it's somewhat understandable haha!
"Instead of strictly focusing on a technical analysis of what you're looking at, try looking at it in terms of what it feels like....try to memorize the feeling of what the shapes look like. I feel like it helps your intuitive sense because you are relying on ***feelings which can store a lot more information** than what you might be able to memorize in a more technical way" - this is brilliant and beautiful! Never heard it stated this way before, but you are surely right. Thank you for the lovely tutorial!
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
This came out so beautiful !!Watching your process was very inspiring too. I can't wait to learn more from you. Thank you for teaching us how to paint Bubbles so beautifully!
very nice and meticulous VERY GOOD WORK
Thank you so much for being here with me!
love, love your bubbles something so free. I wasn't even going to paint until i saw your lovely. Em i may be up till the early hours lol. Not that is is unsuawal to lose track of when painting. Thank you !
Oh I'm so glad it inspired you to paint! And you painting inspires me to paint, too haha! The circle of paint life 🥰
I just happened upon this video after watching a different one… and I’m so glad I did!! I am not an artist by any stretch of the imagination but I found this captivating. I took copious notes as I watched the video, stopping and starting so I didn’t miss anything. I am a mixed media scrapbooker and would love to try this for a background paper. I am looking forward to watching many more of your videos. You are so talented!!
So cool, thank you for sharing. I will try this with my grand kids.
What a fun project to do with them! If you try it out and this one is a little advanced for them, you might try my other bubble one that uses negative painting to create the bubbles since that can be a little easier.
Terrific demonstration
Thank you so much for watching, and I am so glad you were able to find my video!
I SO LOVE THIS!!! Great instructions!!, Thank you! 💕💕💕
I'm so glad you loved it!! I've made a goal for myself to make another video by the end of the year so I hope you'll be able to see it when it comes out!
Really appreciate this video and your teaching and sharing style. Thank you.
I really appreciate you for being here, watching, and commenting
Fantastico!!! Non vedo l'ora di provare!! Grazie!!
Sei il benvenuto e spero che ti piaccia!
than You so much for this lesson. It was a challenge but very satisfying. I plan to do it again. to get practice in making those strokes that give the bubble a round shape and refections.
I'm so glad you tried it! Mine get better every time I do them
Beautiful, and a great tutorial! Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching and I'm glad you liked it!
Thank you for your beautiful bubbles which look very tricky to perfect but patience is the key! Great tutorial. Xxx ❤
I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and yes I think patience is one of the most challenging painting skills to master haha! At least for me it is anyway 😂
I love everything about this video, thx for sharing it. Happy New Year!
Happy new year!! Thank you so much for commenting and I hope your new year is full of joy, painting, and warm hugs. I hope to post again soon (It feels like so longs since I've been able to paint!!!), and I hope to see you back :)
Amazing technique. I really like the transparency and reflection of the clear bubbles.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Your bubbles are so fun. Thank you. Their more to it than I expected. It’s beautiful and more practice, for me. Your extremely helpful. And I’ll behaving fun watercolour.
Thank you so much for being here and watching with me! No painting needs to be perfect, and I'm so glad you just get to have fun enjoying the process of it!!
Just showed up in my feed. Thoughtful and beautifully done. Would love to see some of your other art! Hope that new job you just got has to do with using your talents In Art. Glad I found you.
I'm so glad you found me too! I have a goal to post another video by the end of the year, so I hope you'll be able to see it when it comes out!
This is very inspiring and mesmerizingly beautiful ❤
I find many people's comments reflect something about who they are, and with your comment that makes you very inspiring and mesmerizingly beautiful! Thank you so much for watching and commenting
This is so beautiful!!....could be champagne 🍾 bubbles!!! Ty for posting this!!
Yeeeees! So bubbleyyyyyyy
I came here to add the bubble mod to the background of the Skyrim Pages I'm doing for my friends Journal👍👏👏👏 thank you
Sounds like such a fun project!
Fab tutorial thank you! ☺️ Louise and Emily
Thank you so much for watching!
The color is mysteriously pretty❤
I find people's comments often reflect a portion of their own personalities, so for you that means mysteriously pretty!
Just beautiful! Thank you💜💜💜
Thank you so much for being here!
This I must attempt! So fun! Thank you for sharing. I drop and sling my brush around too. 😅
Haha I am the worst when it comes to being tidy when I paint! When the juices are flowing that's where my focus is!
Love this lesson. it's fun to paint something totally different. Thank you.
You are welcome and I'm so glad you stopped in to watch!!
Great tutorial! Thank you so much🙏🏻🙂
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
So many great painting techniques. TU
Thank you so much for watching and spending some time with me here!
Appreciate this step by step video. The bubbles are stunning!
Thank you for watching and I hope yours turned out beautifully!
These are beautiful! 😊
Thank you so much!! I am grateful you stopped in to watch and hope you've had a chance to try it!
Great tutorial! I had so much fun painting bubbles. 🥰
I'm so glad you tried it out!
Great video, the bubbles look amazing
Thank you so much for watching!
I find there is a ‘ugly’ phase 2/3rds into a project. Then finish and it is perfect!
Wirklich wundervoll - vielen Dank 🫶💖
Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen und dafür, dass Sie hier sind!
Love your bubbles .well done….. (, the sound of the dipping the brush every time in bowl is loud..)😊
Thank you for letting me know! I have a goal to make another video by the end of the year, so I will try and place the bowl a bit farther away from the mic!
Very beautiful. It was relaxing to watch
💙🩵🤍
I throughly enjoyed your tutorial and especially your patience. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your kind comment and for joining me in this space! I hope all amazing things come to you and to your paintings
Lovely!
As are you! Thank you for joining me!
Delightful! Thank you!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
That's gorgeous and very unique!
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I find a lot of people's comments are a reflection of who they are--and for you that means gorgeous and very unique!
@@kindredsoulart2111 Aww, that is so sweet! What a lovely perspective, thank you!
Such a great tutorial. I really like your approach and your attitude. You explain your process in a way that makes sense and you don’t give up when things aren’t exactly to your liking. You find a way to make it work. Thank you for sharing your talent and insights. 💕
Yeees, I'm so glad you are with me! Life is too short and too hard to get caught up hating the imperfections haha! We are all imperfect and I think it's kind of beautiful that we can learn to work and love those parts of ourselves too
Just lovely,
As are you! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind comment
very skilful work. I draw crystal balls, and often wondered how to draw bubbles (spheres) in a big universe. Thank you for your great explanations, and for showing how you incorporate mistakes
I’m a face painter now!!! How funny 😂😂😂
Impressive ❤
Gorgeous thankyou 😊
Thank you so much for watching and also for your kind comment! I hope you have an amazing day and that your paintings come out as wonderful as you are :)
This is nice but the top left corner and bottom right corner large bubbles don't look as round as they should be. Your first painting looks way nicer. Thanks for your paintings to practice.
Yes, I agree, there's some things I really love about the first one, but there's also things I prefer on the second one. I think every painting leads me on a journey and each one will have things that I love and things that I don't love as much and I that's okay! I think the thing that matters most is going through the process and learning more and more each time you paint
Superbe!!!
Like you!!!
BEAUTIFUL!!!
As are YOU!!!
Girl! This is so beautiful! Love using water, alcohol, and salt for texture and interest, too. And the Signo pen is the best white gel pen. Dr Ph Martin MBP white and non-acrylic gouache are great, but can’t beat pen form sometimes.
I’m still learning, as well, and boy is there so much to learn with watercolors! I love this medium, but use to be scared too death of it as an acrylic artist.
Great tutorial! Subscribed ❤
Omg thank you so much! Yes, those are great techniques, and the parchment paper/saran wrap texture tricks are really fun for this one, too! And HARD AGREE on the Signo pens, they are so opaque and I like that you can still wet the edges and fade them out.
I think every artist will always be learning, and expanding into watercolor will help magnify your vocabulary in acrylic, too! The thing I love best in watercolor is that because the watercolor has a mind of its own, it allows you to have a conversation with your paint, rather than just always having to tell your paint what to do. It's so fun!
@@kindredsoulart2111 I really like that mindset - having a conversation with your paint instead of always telling it what to do. I’m going to remember that for the rest of my life, Girl! Because to have a healthy conversation, you have to listen and respect what the other person is saying, allowing them to freely express themselves without fear of judgment. We may not like or agree with what someone is saying, we may not even understand them (a GREAT analogy for watercolor conversations sometimes!! 😂), but it’s not our job to CONTROL or change them.
I’m going to start letting watercolor do its thing without fussing (too much) Lol; of course, we can gently guide it where necessary, to keep boundaries clear - like with any good relationship. 😉
Thank you!!
Just beautiful!!
From your comment I feel like that's also the kind of person you are--just beautiful!!!
Your video just showed up on my feed, and I am so glad to have found you! I just love the shape of circles, and your teaching of these bubbles is magical! Thank you! I have to check out your other videos!💙
I am so glad you are here! Welcome and I look forward to hearing about your painting journey!
Fantastic!
Thank you so much for stopping in and watching!
so nice... Faber castell iridescent & pastel gelatos thru a circle template were my 1st attempt...yrs is beautimous...yay for contrast.
Loved this. I can see a background of evergreen pines and then the bubbles as Christmas balls. Maybe bokeh could be lights on the tree. Endless possibility. Thank you
Yeees! I did this style for a Christman ornament and made cards out of it which turned out so pretty! I've also used it for lightbulbs, too, which turned out pretty cool
Great tutorial, beautiful work
Thank you so much for joining!!
OMG, i made a bubbles painting and wanting to fix the background to bokeh effects and i found this. Perfect helps! ❤️
Awesome, so glad to hear it!
Framed piece beautiful
Beautiful! I love this! Thank you and Happy New Year 🎉🥳💖
Happiest of New Years to you as well!
nice job!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
This was great! Gonna try it tomorrow!
Hey just checking in to see how it turned out! If you haven't gotten to it, I would love to hear how it went for you when you get there!
What a great video. I have to try this, thank you.
Thank you so much! I would love to see what you do with it!
Just nerding out loud ❤it, very enjoyable video
I’m a big fan of Kuretake gold. It’s in most of their pan sets. I have the starry pallet, it has various tones of gold, even white gold. I absolutely love this, I’ll have to try it. Thank you for sharing 😊
Thank you so much for the recommendation, I am going to have to try it out! I absolutely love gold in paintings.
@@kindredsoulart2111you’re welcome. Kuretake also have a gold ink. It can be used with a brush, dip pen or a needle point bottle. It is gorgeous. 🫶😊
Beautiful. Great tutorial ❤
Thank you so much for being here with me and watching together
Thank you for an outstanding tutorial of your lovely, ethereal painting. Do you add a signature? ❤
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I did a lot more when I first started, but I've kind of gone to signing the back unless specifically requested by a client. I found that my signature ended up messing with the eye tracking through the piece unless I planned it in, so it was just better for me to add it on the back.
Thank You!
Meraviglioso!👍🏻
I really enjoyed watching your process. Thanks for sharing. The result is beautiful 🎉
Incredible! ❤
Thank you so much for stopping by! I have a goal to make a new video by the end of the year, so I hope you hold me accountable to that!! 😂
I also think an angle brush would help a lot
Yes, that could be a great tool for this project!
Just found you. I love this tutorial and it’s title. Thank you for the inspiration. 🌱💛
I loved watching you paint these bubbles. Thank you for the great tutorial, it was really helpful. P.S. I subscribed.💙
Thank you so much for your super kind comment! I have a goal to make a new video by the end of the year, so I hope you all keep me accountable! 😂
I'm looking forward to it.💖
Your bubbles are lovely. 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much! I'm sure they match the lovely person you are :)
@@kindredsoulart2111 thank you for your reply........blessings to you. 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so much. It was a joy to watch you work & I'm itching to have a go. I'm a total beginner but I will just enjoy following along with you & see what happens. The way you talk us through your process is so lovely. I'm so grateful to find your channel. Wishing you all the good things. Thank you. ❤
I'm glad you stopped in! If you haven't tried it out yet, this is your sign to give it a go ;)
Brilliant
I find people's comments often reflect a portion of their own personalities, so for you that means brilliant!
Awesome piece of art very creative, you have certainly captured the 3D effect of the bubbles and using the white dots in a linear angle give the painting movement. You have definitely inspired me to give this a go.
Stunning performance! Love the colours in the one you did today more than your previous one. Have to try this soon. I was searching for tuts on this subject and am so glad I found yours. 💦 ⬅ closest thing to a bubble I could find 😂 😂
Thank you so much! Yes I would love to see how it goes for you (just tag me on insta/facebook/tiktok in your post or send me a DM!) Hahah and the water/'bubble' emoji made me laugh lolol
This is too cool
Love it 👍🥰☝️🎄🙏 merry Xmas from Australia 😘💋🙂
GREAT tutorial ❤❤ i really love the bubbles 😊 thanks for sharing your brilliant ideas❤
Just stunning! Thank you so much for sharing your process!
Knap werk!!👍👍👏👏
Amazingly beautiful!
This turned out so beautiful :)))
Thank you very much for sharing❤
Great stuff. Ty. Qualifies as a dec drop too😂
You are welcome! Haha two birds with one stone!
I really enjoyed your demo so much hun…thank you…
Wow. It looked impossible. You broke it down. Thank you
Paper towels which really help you
And Kleenex for tissues😊
Yes, I especially love them for easy clean up! I ended up going with the rag since I'm in the process of trying to reduce my overall waste, but I especially love to use kleenex and paper towels to help with texturing!
Fun and beautiful video :). Just as a side note - because script is no longer taught, do they no longer teach kids how to hold a pen/brush/pencil properly?
Thank you so much for being here to watch! I have a connective tissue disorder that makes my joints kind of floppy, so it's easier for me to hold my pens that way. Though interestingly enough, I tend to hold my paintbrush more like a pencil than an actual pencil!
Well whatever it is you do, keep it up. Love your videos :). Cheers@@kindredsoulart2111
Love this!!!
Przepiękne 😍❤
Bardzo dziękuję!
Le bolle più belle del mondo!!
Grazie mille!!!
