    I find it is very hard to “let go” and lose control of the paint. It is so lovely when you create this way.

  • @StuartwasDrinkell
    @StuartwasDrinkell 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So glad to have found your channel Sarah. Your finished pieces, even if just for demonstration, are so good. The clarity and way you explain your thinking though, is what I like the most. So far, watercolour for me, has had some ok outcomes and some disappointments but I'm sure with great people like you out there, I can make head and tale of it. Thanks again. I'll be joining your patreon this coming pay day.

I'm late in the age of life to start a new adventure, but... I have determination and time. I am so in awe of your skill, so I thoroughly enjoy this watercolor expression of yours. I am looking forward to challenging myself with your guidance. Thank you very much.

  • @bonnieshapiro3511
    @bonnieshapiro3511 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is so beautiful and inspiring. I’ve watched so many tutorials by many beautiful watercolor artists. But I have to say this painting and your teaching and guiding skills of how you paint and get the effects are exceptional. I’m going to have to try this soon. I really need to start practicing more frequently again. I’m adding some of your paint suggestions to my palette. I’ve only just watched about 3 or 4 of your videos so far. But learning so much. Especially how to build from one layer to another. I’m so glad your videos popped up. I’ve had various stages of feeling stuck with watercolor. But slowly I feel I’m learning to understand this mysterious medium. Thanks so much for your videos.

    • @SarahBurnsStudio
      @SarahBurnsStudio  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello! Thank you :) I use a lot of different mediums, and frequently do mixed media. But I always loved watercolor for it's spontaneity. I go through phases of using different mediums and making videos about them too 😊

    Ohhh wow that’s great 😃! Watching your video I have just learned what I have been doing wrong when painting my shading & shadows for my waves in my own beach and waves paintings. Also how you have managed to get some spectacular waves in the very distance background with your technique is very helpful for me. The colors that you use are gorgeous looking for the beach sand. I have never thought of using a pink, although I know that there are pink beaches around the world. This is definitely a wonderful & peaceful painting to watch you do. Thanks for sharing this with us.

    This is perfect timing! I have an image I took a few weeks ago that I have been hemming and hawing over how to accomplish the wet sand reflections! I will be working in gouache but I can thin it way down to make it work!

    Hi Sarah ! I think I missed this one. Even it's about 2 years ago, it's still pleasant and I like the way you paint.
    On my side, I wanted to start my channel with my own works, but finally I realised that I am not enough ready to go. I erased the videos short that I published. Also, I am not equipped enough. I have only the smartphone with no possibility to do videos more than 8 mns.
    Making videos is an additional work very exigent for an artist ! You are so courageous to stand up ✨

    Sarah I just started watching your watercolor videos and am really inspired by what you do. I have tried to follow along in your watercolor tutorial of "BEACH with wet sand reflections". You give the names of the colors in your Blog however your tutorials do not say what colors you use for each section ie: sky, water, sand, rocks. Might this information be listed in another area of your Blog/tutorial?
