Im happy you enjoyed this Carolyn! I always have fun adding in little bees and such, especially when I can sneak them in a bit! Make the viewer take a closer look :-)
Thank you, I had not painted these before and so happy that one of you asked me to paint them. They were so much fun, Happy painting and I'm so happy you are here with me.
Absolutely excellent loved doing this, but my paintings always show every paint stroke I do so I don't get a lovely blend like you, unsure what I'm doing wrong or how I could improve. New to this.x
@@janemees2115 That is always a tricky part. Try using a good paper it can make a huge diffrrrnce . Blending and watercontrol is always the most challenging in watercolors. Keep practicing and try Arches paper (I have link in my description) I’ve used it since college days 30 years ago and never switched! Happy painting
My Pleasure! I'm happy to have you here with me Frieda. I will do my best to bring a little different tips, and all I can that has helped me over the years. Thanks for being here with me (I'm a Newbie here on TH-cam was my 60th bday goal, and to create a Beginners Online course, thats a huge stretch for me! Baby steps) Happy painting, I hope to see you again Frieda
LOL It is a very inexpensive student grade paper I had cut up to use for my swatch colors! I cut it up to use for swatches and color testing because I did not care for it to paint on! I use to teach kids lessons, and would have them use it to practice on. (I hate to throw any supplies out!)
You are so welcome Im so happy to be available to inspire you to grow and play with your watercolors! Thank you for being here with me on my continued journey. Happy painting Ela!
Thank you! This was a request from someone, and so happy they did, because I loved them! What a fun beautiful floral. OF course I LOVE all flowers. Im so happy you enjoyed them and I hope you were inspired to pick up your paints and paint with me.. Take a look at my little tutorial kits too, I think they may be a fun resource! Happy painting Mary!
I would just like to say thank you for your excellent tutorial. I am teaching myself how to paint with watercolours and so many tutorials do not explain the movement of the brush or how much water to use and about blotting off excess and all these things make a huge difference. Well done 👍 you. I’m now a big fan 😁
I'm so glad Jane! I have been painting for so long sometimes these small instructions i forget. I have been trying to slow down my process, and share each step. I'm so happy this is helpful for you! Many times it is the small things that can make a big difference! Practice a lot, daily, the more you warm up, the more muscle memory you will elicit and just know what to do, how to create a shape, hold your brush, water control. You will be amazed at how warming up daily with brushstrokes will change your results. Happy painting!
Wonderful! Practice practice, practice and have fun with it🌻 Enjoy the play and colors and flow of the watercolors, and always find one things you did well in everything you paint 🌸 if I can do this so can you Happy painting!
@@marciamcgrath4953 My pleasure it's why I teach. And Honestly, If I can do this absolutely you can too. I paint constantly, daily, practice, practice, and use good paper, it makes a differencece :-) Happy painting Marcia
Hi Puffy! I absolutory will, Lotus is already on my list for the next few days. How did you know? :-) and I would love to also paint Dahlias, they are fun and so beautiful Thank you for being here with me, inspiring me with your suggestions and allowing me to be part of your watercolor journey. Stay tuned for those Lotus and Dahlias!
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy Thank you so much. Exciting! 🤗❤️ I am having trouble making colour even when I try to filled up whole paper, bigger paper. Either use too much water, the paper winkled up or too dry that colour don't blend in smoothly. I am frustrated and disappointed in myself. With smaller space then it is no problems. Can you give me few tips? Thank you.
@@Hopexi This learning phase can be frustrating! Stay with it, and always, before stopping a painting or practice, find something you noticed you did really well or better! Water control is something that takes a while to become skilled at. Keep practicing pages of wet in wet. Make sure to gently scrape your brush on the side of the water container, and if needed, dab the tip onto a little paper towel after loading with your paint to get off any excess water. The inexpensive paper will create a lot of frustration and warping. Try a better grade of paper Arches, cold pressed, 140#. And if you need to tape it down around the edges so it does not warp. I talk about this in a video. When you lay down your paint, it should be shiny with no puddling. If it is too dry, dip it in water and then gently scrape on the water container. Keep playing with these techniques; YOU are getting there and improving all the time! I've been painting my entire life and still have challenges.
@lana good morning🌼 I am so happy to say I received your email and sent your little ebook I hope it helps you and if younwould like to send me your paintings and practices I may be able to help in any areas you are having some challenges or questions! Happy painting my friend 🌼
