Beginners, # 3: This Is How I Play To Create Interest In My Paintings and Look Like a Pro!

- I am sharing a fun practice inspired by many paintings.
This is what I learned to do to create more interest and depth.
1) Vary the values, this creates depth. Foreground, middle ground and background
2) Vary the sizes of the leaves/petals/flowers. This feels more realistic as all plants are in various stages of growth and therefore as I notice different lengths, sizes and sometimes shapes.
HERE IS THE NEXT LESSON: Lesson #4 - • Beginners Lesson # 4: ...
Happy painting, dear artist!

What I'm using today and also love: GREAT VALUE Option #6 Dugato Round Brush: amzn.to/3Wi6Sun
A MUST: Color Wheel: amzn.to/43y4fqN
SUBSCRIBER SPECIAL - MY PREP WORK - TUTORIAL KITS- INCLUDING THE ORIGINAL I thought it might be fun to offer a worksheet and practice painting available for you in my Etsy shop! You watched me paint it, and I priced it very attractively for you! What fun, right? WHAT'S INCLUDED - * Original painting from tutorial signed dated and tutorial episode name, occasionally a card with envelope. * My pre-recording Winsor Newton Color swatch I created with colors for reference (all handwritten) * Brushstrokes used in the painting are all my behind-the-scenes notes and prep work. Originals are on various papers, depending on what I was teaching, in multiple sizes, and meant for supporting you, although it can be framed as well as a fun piece!
Only one is available per tutorial. etsy.me/45dPrzl

📜On PAPER, I’ve used Meeden and Artisto for many years, and you’ll see me use one or the other in most of my tutorials. My Meeden paper suggestion is 100% cotton, has a really great texture and is finer grade. My Artisto paper recommendation is student grade, handles lots of water, (still good for wet on wet) and is a bit less expensive.

Thank you!! You are a great teacher. I was about to not continue with watercolour painting…you have brought new life for me!!
Im thrilled to hear that Peggy, leaves are a very common challenge for beginners and most actually. I have created lots of tutorials on them as I LOVE painting them, they can really be fun and make for a great practice! Enjoy and Welcome back to watercolors!
This is so pretty. I can do this, I understand this, and I do it. You're a great teacher.💚💛💚🖌X
Yeah Penny! It makes such a powerful difference for such a simple technique!
Also I like to have my paint on my brush two different shades of color for leaves. That is gorgeous. Also go over them while they are wet is cool too.
Yews, it is fun to double load your brush, I especially adore blue and green together! I mostly paint with wet in wet technique, its my favorite for that beautiful blending and colors that mix together. Happy painting friend and have fun!
Thank you so much. I loved your how to use your brush. I’m on lesson 3 now and feel I am learning so much bit by bit.
Wonderful, Im always happy to hear my explanations, thought processes, and teaching style helps. Its how I also learned best... I love to hear you are able to learn and discover this beautiful medium I love so much. Happy painting friend, xo
This is an awesome lesson. My leaves usually look so boring. I’m going to do a full page of leaves like this every day. Thanks!
I used to sit at night, especially when a little stressed from the day, and paint pages of these, It was so relaxing I would paint them in blues, pinks, oranges, greens, just to play and enjoy how they made me feel.. Especially with a dagger brush~ Happy painting, have fun with these.
You are so much more talented than many of the big name floral artists on you tube who brag about their huge incomes, some are more talented at marketing or than their artwork. Thank you for sharing
Wow, thank you! Thank you Patricia. I'm definitely a newbie here, making mistakes, bloopers, definitely imperfect. But I do love to share what I love, and know from my decades of self learning, some college classes, workshops. Im so happy that my style is fun for you that means a lot! Thanks for hanging in here with me as I continue to learn this TH-cam thing! Happy painting!
Thank you Debbie very helpful.
You are so welcome Im glad it was helpful
Very helpful. Very informative yet short and not at all overwhelming. This is doable, everyone that can use their hands to hold a brush like that can do this (what we take for grated but I know from experience that there are many who can’t, including myself sometimes do I definitely do not want to ignore the troubles those people face), but anyway, I love the way you construct this mini class tutorial, all the right info and no extra fuss or unnecessary repetition, you’re a great teacher, I love it!
Hi Leenb.7936., I'm so happy this was helpful for you. I do what I Can to find fun, easy little techniques as much as possible. Many times it's just these little things that make such a big difference. I'm glad my teaching style resonates with you! Happy painting my artist friend~
❤Thank you very much, I love you
I'm glad this was helpful! I paint these frequently for practice in the evenings as they are quite relaxing. Have fun!
That is because there was no you tube when you started, everything is easier with all our access to info. I think you are a fabulous artist and teacher.
Thank you so much Patricia. That is not taken lightly and I am very grateful that I am able to share with you what I LOVE!
Love to play along with you! When I see a new video I get all my goodies and practice ❤! You make it fun and interesting
Goodm orning Elviamunguia8397, Im so glad my videos are fun and interesting for you! Isnt it fun when you feel excited to try something, and lay out all your goodies and play? Oh, I love that feeling, like a little kid! Happy painting my artist friend and most of all enjoy this beautiful medium.

What fun exercise.
Good morning, Yes, I love sharing fun simple techniques that can make such a big difference. This is an easy one. Happy painting, painting leaves is so relaxing too!
Hi Debbie. Your internet is going in and out thought I'd let you know. Yes I do the different values and some different sizes all depends on the plant I'm 🪴 painting. I think the part were there is a sort of spot left in the leaf and you don't fill it with paint makes it look more interesting like the leaf is bending. Also sometimes a leaf will have tan spots in them also brown. So leafs are very interesting and fun to do I think. Thank you 😊. JK FLORIDA 🇺🇸.
Oh no... hmmm interesting, ill listen again, I listened to the entire video and didn't have any problems... Yes, Ms1Lonewolf, I LOVE leaving white space and have done many many full pages of just leaves. They are relaxing :-)
Thanks Deb thank for the input today it was beautiful.warm greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
Hi Magdalena, You are so very welcome. I'm glad you heard some fun things that are helpful! I love when we can utilize simple techniques that make a big difference! Happy painting friend, and thank you for your support

Hi Eileen, Im so glad, I am always trying to simplify techniques when I can. This one years ago took my paintings to the next level and was so easy and fun! Happy painting!

Thank you ! You are very kind, and I appreciate your Super Thanks. I'm just learning about these. They are very helpful, and as soon as I get enough, I go right out and purchase a new brush, paints, or something fun to make our channel even more fun!
Hi Debbie, I did these 3 lessons tonight and felt I had 100% improvement!! Thank you!! Your step by step instructions really helped as well as doing it with you, instead of going by memory without the video 🙄. We've got some very cold temps with rain coming and I intend to continue these beginner lessons…and fix chili…😊 x
Sounds like an absolutely perfect night. Rain, watercolors and chili! I couldn’t be happier you felt more confident in your watercolors that’s fabulous and so exciting.!
Keep doing those warm ups and you will strengthen your muscle memory, develop more and more confidence and next thing you know you will be obsessed :) Happy painting friend enjoy the rain and chili!
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy thank you for the encouragement!
You are welcome, I Hope you have fun most of all :-)
Hello Debbie, j'ai débuté l'aquarelle lors du confinement 2020. Un grand merci pour vos explications très claires. Je connais votre chaîne depuis peu et je pense que vous êtes un excellent professeur. J'ai 62 ans, je vis seule avec mon chien et mon chat qui font mon bonheur. J'ai flashé pour l'aquarelle, un bonheur de plus ! Continuez à nous éclairer de votre expérience svp.
Best regards from France.
Catherine
Bonjour et je suis si heureux de vous avoir ici. J'aurai 60 ans en août et j'en ai fait ma mission et mon objectif d'apprendre youtube et de partager ce que j'aime avec vous ! C'était il y a presque 4 mois et j'apprends toujours ces trucs technologiques mais je vous apprécie tous tellement. Je suis tellement content que mon style d'enseignement soit bon pour vous, c'est aussi comme ça que j'apprends le mieux. J'espère vous revoir, mon objectif de rêve est d'avoir un week-end atelier aquarelle en France un jour, ça doit être juste magnifique. Bonne peinture mon ami, et câlins à ton petit ami à quatre pattes. xo
Thank you for sharing and teaching. Very helpful. Love it. 🤗💕
You are so welcome!
I’m so happy it was helpful🎨 friend and always warm up and most of all have fun!
Very well explained! How have I seen so many turorials, but none covered basics such as tapping excess paint off or drawing simple lines? As a very beginner, this was refreshing.
I’m so glad that was helpful to you. I know for many they don’t like my videos because of that and that’s fine because I love sharing with the beginner so I’m glad it was helpful for you. Happy painting Friend
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy I recently bought good quality paints, paper, brushes and more. I have been wanting to learn for years, but my first attempts were so frustrating. The paints have sat unused because I am anxious, and because I was trying to find good tutorials that instill the very basics. This playlist is what finally got me to mist water on my pallette and jump in, so thanks! ❤️
I am so happy~ @@wildflower1397 Thank you for sharing your thoughts and I will do all I can to continue sharing my processes, and how I paint and express what I see in the world~ Most of all have fun
Hi Awhile back you did a tutorial on how to you use a cat's tail/oval wash brush. Could you do another one some time and also one on transparent flowers I had a problem with my computer and seem to have lost some of my files. Or when you make your play list will you have past tutorials on it. I had lots of your tutorials but they are gone. So sad!
Oh darn, im so sorry that happened :/ I have had that happen as well, so frustrating.
Here is the tutorial on that brush, and I would love to revisit that technique again in another tutorial!
There is this with a Filbert brush th-cam.com/video/sH1eM6JqIeI/w-d-xo.html
And this one with a Dagger - th-cam.com/video/DXXkZw7YGiw/w-d-xo.html
And great idea maybe a playlist with different brushes!
I hope this helps!
Thanks!
Thank you Cathyp54 I appreciate your gift so much, It will go right to some fun supplies to share with you all!
