MY CHALLENGE TO YOU: choose your three favorite colors and try this exercise! Paint florals with me or maybe try something you'd like to try. Let me know what three colors you choose and what you're painting for this exercise, I LOVE hearing what you guys are up to. Happy painting!
I'm looking for ideas to paint some cards for the card giving charity. This tutorial is right up my street, you didn't make it too complicated & great idea with only 3 colours. I'd choose Al.Crimson, Ultramarine blue & light yellow, W&N prof. watercolours. Flowers are my favourite subject too. Thank you very much. 💖🎨👏
Ah Jenna my lovely lady, how do you do it - I've been feeling a touch (ha ha) anxious as we've got some big and stressful projects going on, saw my anxiety was getting the better of me (so inefficient, it doesn't HELP anything!) and put my mental health stabilisers in place (Pilates, meditation, walking, Spanish and of course...). MADE myself put half an hour in the calendar to paint a happy floral card for my sister in law. Not only did I feel the joy flood back in, enjoying your beautiful video and 'company', and more joy when I look at it this morning with the cheerful colours, I also know it will bring joy to another lovely lady. Jenna, you're golden, girl, and of course so is your lovely husband making this all possible. Have a wonderful day xxx
Haha, sometimes I wonder the same, but some people just aren't into my style, and I guess they just want to let me know they don't like it?? Haha. Whatevs... Thanks for your support Mary, I really appreciate it!!
@@JennaRaineyChannel and Mary, I don't think it's your viewers at all, as I've heard there are some little darlings who put out "bots" which automatically put thumbs down on most of the popular videos as soon as they're issued. It's nothing remotely personal but is distressing. The bot thing was outed on some of the papercraft and polymer clay channels I follow. So please be reassured :)
I’m on Day 9 of your book Everyday Watercolor and I was having a terrible time trying to create the beautiful, organic petal shapes on pages 67 and also the more rounded, blue leaves on page 69. I went hunting through your videos for some guidance, and this one was most helpful. Thank you for breaking down this most simple shape! I know this is still the easier part of the book, so I’m trying not to be discouraged. I’ve nearly mastered the more pointy leaves, but the rounded tips of the petals are still a challenge for me.
Hey Jaime, thanks for sharing some of your process. Definitely don't be discouraged! It took me many years to get to where I am, and every time I paint I try and learn something new. Enjoy the process and even if you make a mistake or you're unhappy with the outcome, just take it as a learning experience. I'll keep putting out more videos that will hopefully help you as you work through my book! Take care and happy painting! ❤️
I didn't know you had a youtube channel! I purchased your book on preorder when it came out and had been following your Instagram for years. What a treat to find you online, isolation is going to be a lot better now!
You're so dang adorable and an excellent teacher! I love this exercise in color. I find the way lemon yellow deep separates a bit when mixed with other colors super fascinating. I can't wait to play with these colors and then try it with different pink and blue variations. Thank you for another wonderful video. Give that Huz of yours an extra cookie, high five, or piece of cheese (to remind him of his homeland)...he's so great at his video editing and he's also a wicked awesome cheerleader for you! You've got an good one!
Haha, he will love this comment (and the cheese!) Lol. Thanks so much, Crysta, for the lovely comment and your support for our channel! We appreciate you! ❤️ ❤️
I haven’t used these colours too much , I was inclined to use ultramarine, cadmium yellow and alizarin crimson. This is my first kick at the can doing flowers as I always did land and seascapes I live in Nova Scotia, Canada and we only have to drive 50 miles to get to ocean, maybe that is why. I am enjoying doing the flowers and leaves using your 3 colours. You are an inspiring teacher. Thank you.
Yay! I've been so excited for this video since you said you'd add it to the list! I love that you showed all the tiny adjustments it can take to get the color you want. For beginners like me it's really encouraging. It really shows how versatile a limited pallet can be. Thank you so much Jenna!
high Jenna I bought your book every day painting and I then looked on you tube your so inspiring and I just did this with w n permanent rose Prussian blue both cotman and aureolin saa brand and I got lovely colours thank you so much ivlearnt more from you about watercolour about consistency
My favorite three colors are Quinacridone Magenta, Hansa Yellow and Pthalo Blue. I want to try color mixing with YOUR favorite three! I just discovered you and I'm so glad I did!
I Am a complete newbie to watercolours have always loved the way water colour painting look, i stumbled across this tutorial yesterday and have only done a couple of small bits and minimal practice for my flowers I used permanent rose lemon yellow and intense blue, will now go back and find your other videos! thank you
You make it seem so easy; I a just learning. Although my work looks okay, I am not a natural artist. I have to look and follow along to see how to paint a composite. You are easy to follow. thanks
Hello, you are really very inspiring and a good relaxed teacher!!! I have your first book and now i am looking for your book about flowers. I have bought a lot of colors ( DS and Sennelier) in the last few years and it is eyeopening and refresching for me to see what you can do with only 3 colors! Thank you very mutch (Belgium)
Your channel is so helpful! I got a few starter supplied a couple weeks ago and your videos have helped me so much, especially the videos on color theory and brush stroke technique.
I would have thought greys (let's not neglect pigeons & elephants!) to be the easiest colours to mix but they're surprisingly difficult! Black and grey aren't included in my paint set but with your help I'm now getting there with indigo, alizarin and a dash of lemon which is very satisfying. Starting a painting notebook so I can replicate colours found by accident, also starting work on a colour chart which is opening new doors. Thank you as always Jenna
Love this! Just got my book and a friend bought me your floral book as a post op present so I'm all set to start practicing. Thanks so much for sharing your skills ❤
@@JennaRaineyChannel it's so fun over here! We're like the girl who didn't want to do karaoke but got dragged on stage finally and now they can't get her off. WE LOVE LIVESTREAMING! haha
I am so glad I found you! I am learning so much. I have watched two other videos and will continue your top downloads are not working when I click on them I get an error do you have them posted somewhere else? I appreciate you making these videos and sharing your knowledge.
I'm definitely going to try this!!! I'm using Corman W&N watercolors while I learn all the techniques. Just one question: you're not worries about the colors mixing wet on wet and creating sort of veins? Like in the pink flower you just did? It happens to me a lot :(
A lot of times I love the wet-on-wet action and want it to happen! But if I'm not wanting that effect, I'm just paying attention to my water control, and if there's a blend that I didn't want (or if hard lines are coming), I'll soak it up with a dry brush or paper towel.
@@JennaRaineyChannel Thank you so much! I've heard so many bad things about the "cauliflower effect" (I think that's what it's called), I think I'm traumatized now lol.
Ok of the colors I have I've chosen Opera rose and lemon yellow but I'm not sure which of the Blues I have will work best. I guess I need to research(paint) further.
The idea is to choose three warm primaries and also three cool primaries. For example Daniel Smith French ultramarine, transparant pyrrol orange and hansa yellow deep for the warm primaries. Hansa yellow light, quin rose and pthalo blue (gs) for the cool primaries. If you stick within either the cool or warm for your secondary and tertiaries you will not create muddy colors. Except of course if you intend to and try every possible combination! Have fun with it!
I tear them off the block and it depends on what the painting was for... if it's for a licensing job, I will scan it and most likely tuck it on a wall hang thing that I have. If I paint for a TH-cam tutorial, often I give them away to my viewers.
@@JennaRaineyChannel Thanks for the response! Hmmm. Surely you have piles and piles of your paintings over years of painting and learning and perfecting and teaching and ... practice! How does one score a giveaway ;)
I only used three paints, and then blended and mixed those three in a variety of different ways to get about 8 different colors to use for the painting!
I love to discover flowers in blobs of paint but I struggle with the next step(s): finishing touches, details, adding values, etc. to end up with something aesthetically pleasing. Is this something you would be interested in demonstrating? I'm not sure it's really your style but I thought I would ask. I have searched and watched so many tutorials but they aren't giving me quite what I want so I am asking artists I follow the most for the heck of it. Thank you for your consideration. Take care. PS - I am not an artist. Please tell me if my request offended you. I apologize if I have.
Check out “in the studio with Michelle Webber “. She has a TH-cam channel and is an art teacher. In her vids she shares invaluable info about different values and water control. Also check out Sarah cray from the Chanel Let’s make art. They have very different styles, but are great teachers!
Hi Stephanie! Firstly, no offense what-so-ever! I appreciate the feedback and if there are videos you need, that's what I am here for. I don't know if you have discovered much of my tutorials, but I have a TON of floral tutorials (found in this playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLdb2U9SHuFlIEmkCmoobY3i0qZ4M8IN66.html ), you may find what you're looking for in some of those tutorials! I'm more than happy to help you. Take care!
Love this! You are such a great teacher! I have to say that the voice in the background saying, “you aren’t annoying-don’t say that!” really touched me; and he’s right!
Ok. I did it. I made some beautiful colors then, I put them on paper and made a mess out of them. I will not give up. I'm gonna keep practicing. One day I'll make a bouquet of flowers instead of beautifully colored hammer hash.
MY CHALLENGE TO YOU: choose your three favorite colors and try this exercise! Paint florals with me or maybe try something you'd like to try. Let me know what three colors you choose and what you're painting for this exercise, I LOVE hearing what you guys are up to. Happy painting!
Jenna Rainey very nice!
I tried this it was really fun my favourite colours were green blue and yellow

HI Jenna, just wondering, where and how do you file away all your previous paints? Presumably you tear them off the block...
I tear them off the block and it depends on what the painting was for... if it's for a licensing job, I will scan it and most likely tuck it on a wall hang thing that I have. If I paint for a TH-cam tutorial, often I give them away to my viewers.
@@JennaRaineyChannel Thanks for the response! Hmmm. Surely you have piles and piles of your paintings over years of painting and learning and perfecting and teaching and ... practice! How does one score a giveaway ;)
If all the colors you made from three, does that mean all these colors go together because they are all made from each other?
I only used three paints, and then blended and mixed those three in a variety of different ways to get about 8 different colors to use for the painting!
