This is an eye opener! Because everyone on our fb page bemoans that they can't get their watercolour to look the same as their photos or they can't get their watercolour to look the same as Sarah's on the LMA tutorials - this is proof no two pics will ever be the same! Because the tutorial example pic, the pan pic and liquid pic ALL LOOK DIFFERENT! In very good ways I might add! They all look different, but perfect!
The technique you used to create the clouds is amazing and soòooooo simple that as a beginner I have a great addition to my knowledge imagine trying to paint with watercolours at the age of 78yrs. So thank you very much🙏🙏🌷💐⚘🍁
You can paint on wood. But, you will have to put several layers of watercolor ground down first. This gives an absorbent coating that will accept and hold watercolor paint.
We love that you pre-watched the tutorial to prep for your kit. We hope you have the best time painting with liquid watercolor for the first time. We definitely would love to know how you end up liking it. Happy creating!!
Thank you. This process is a change from your previous format. We all know people struggle with change, I enjoyed following the pan paint because it was new for me. I will paint it again with the liquid paint because I am more comfortable with liquid. I enjoyed the change...but will stick to liquid.
Another great tutorial thank you Sarah. To everyone that thinks they need expensive products to do watercolour... I have just followed along using my own pans (Tiger shops less than £5 for the set), paper (Daler Rowney aquafine A4 pad) and brushes (SAA Round 6, Daler Rowney round 2). I didn't use an outline, although I did pencil in a couple of rectangles with a triangle on the tops to represent the silos. I think it turned out ok. Will upload to insta & FB pages soon.
As a 60 year old farm girl, I would identify your painting as grain bins. Silos are either much taller than they are wide or they are bags that lay on the ground. I like the moody country painting regardless of the name.
Keenan you would have to put watercolour ground on wood before painting it. That way would work. I have painted on plastic after putting on a coat of watercolour ground first and it worked fine.
The negative white spaces in your skies make it look so much more realistic! I have a tendency to just want to fill the entire space with blue and then the painting gets kind of muddled. It's hard to fight against my instincts!!
@@LetsMakeArt I need you to help me paint Niagra Falls - I'm punching way above my weight by even attempting it.... however, nothing ventured nothing gained. I even have the photo posted to the LMA watercolour page.... Hint, hint.......
I feel so limited on what I can do with watercolors because I can not draw. Im buying your kits though and having fun with that but I would like to learn more. Do you have any other kits to choose from other then 2018 and 2019
Donna Mulligan you can draw! Just look at picture of an object and copy lines that you see. Don’t try drawing just from what is in your head at first. I did not think I could and I am not super but I am getting better just by trying to copy what I am seeing in front of me. You can do it! 😊
Can you make a tutorial for broke or artists with limited supplies, so like no water color paper our fancy supplies I want to make it look as good but I simply don’t have supplies
Sarah uses one of the most affordable brands of watercolor paper, and you can see, it works out great for her projects. So it's definitely not going to break the bank to get it. Canson XL, 140 lb. She is also very thoughtful to always use the same 2 brushes for her projects so that you don't need to buy a lot of different brushes. So, if you're on a limited budget, you have found the right teacher! :)
I have also have found barely used to new art supplies at second hand stores for next to nothing. People think they will take up a hobby, try it once and quit. Fortunately many pass on the supplies so others can give it a try.
Help? I've been trying to paint this but I don't have space blue. I tried to get a navy with the blues I have (tahoe blue, azure blue, and sea blue), trying out mixtures with black and/or violet (which did give me a nice blue for the eggplant, but I can't seem to replicate it). Any suggestions what will give me the best shot at a good navy for these moody skies? It's one of my favorites. Thanks!
The technique we use for these clouds is wet on wet! With your darkest value at the bottom of the cloud, you will want to pull color from the bottom of the cloud and do curved strokes as you blend the areas. Hope this helps!
We partnered with Art Philosophy on this, and while we don't have the set from our October box available by itself, we do have their Confections series on our site! www.letsmakeart.com/search?type=product&q=confections
Try pulling your tape off at an angle rather than straight up or down! Pull it away from your painting so that in case the paper does tear a bit, it doesn't ruin your image. You can also try placing the tape on your clothing before putting it on your paper to get some of that extra "stick" off :)
His name is Keenan He‘s the camera man. His purpose is to give advice to Sarah about the video, be the "color man" pertaining to the session, Alexa tormenter, but most of all is a really nice guy. I think the real reason is that it would be pretty boring just watching Sarah paint without the banter. It gives people who are painting along with her some time to catch up.
These are good and can be better if you stuck to explaining what and why you are doing and stop the sidebar chitchat. Please do not be offended as I am only being honest. Even the children get anxious. .
Lucky Hiker U will not find anyone that explains what they are doing better than Sarah. And I LOVE their chitchat. I think just about everyone on here does. We all have our opinions but most people on TH-cam just paint and expect u to follow along. Sarah is the best I have seen at teaching and telling us what she is doing. Not just showing us. And we all need the humor. I LOVE this channel and hope they will not change.
@Lucky Hiker I like the chitchat.... my slow painting and drawing means I can keep up. These are awesome tutorials and I've improved no end since listening to LMA tutorials!

so glad that you are showing past tutorials.
I love your video. You are a really good teacher. Thank you.
So glad you are all kinds of paint medium , you are a wonderful teacher
Me too and I like how she is doing two different types at least for me it reinforces the techniques.
The technique you used to create the clouds is amazing and soòooooo simple that as a beginner I have a great addition to my knowledge imagine trying to paint with watercolours at the age of 78yrs. So thank you very much🙏🙏🌷💐⚘🍁
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for the two types of paint! I've been using pan and tube and looking forward to my first kit with liquid...pre-watched to prep for it!
We love that you pre-watched the tutorial to prep for your kit. We hope you have the best time painting with liquid watercolor for the first time. We definitely would love to know how you end up liking it. Happy creating!!
My Alexia started playing the song when it was mentioned on your video. I guess Alexia was listening to the tutorial, LOL!
Mine did too!! Ha!
Oh my god yes! I fell asleep and it woke me up and freaked me out because I had no idea why it started playing!! 😳
Beth Wilkinson So did mine

It's always good to try new things, but Sarah has her favorite materials too!
I feel like the pan paints move a little easier with this project
I adore and appreciate you
🥰🥰🥰
What an effortless building!

If you're needing outlines for projects, we have those available on our site that can be printed off!
@@LetsMakeArt I use the outlines a lot, they really are helpful, I was just being super lazy on this occasion 😆
I'd love to see your finished painting on our LMA f.b group. Cheers
This will be fun in Gouache.
Oooh yes it would!
Sarah, once again, thanks for amazing art lesson. Landscapes are my favorite subject to paint! Keenan, nice fun silo facts but dude, Madonna? 😆
As a 60 year old farm girl, I would identify your painting as grain bins. Silos are either much taller than they are wide or they are bags that lay on the ground. I like the moody country painting regardless of the name.
I ment to include an Illinois farm girl. Other areas may name them differently.
Keenan you would have to put watercolour ground on wood before painting it. That way would work. I have painted on plastic after putting on a coat of watercolour ground first and it worked fine.
Love this! Both really beautiful!

It is really hard to leave the negative space sometimes. Especially when it comes to clouds.
I put an old rusted pickup in mine with grass growing around it.
That's so creative! You'll have to share that with us, I imagine that's so gorgeous!
I wish you had a black lab puppy tutorial!
When Keenan started talking about the song by Craig Morgan and asked Alexa to play it my Alexa obliged him LOL!
Every time with that!
Can u do a tutorial of water? Like reflections, highlights etc. please
We have done an Autumn Lake kit that may help with this! www.letsmakeart.com/products/autumn-lake-kit?_pos=1&_sid=2866e2769&_ss=r

Walmart sells the same watercolor paper tablets here for $4.97 being on a limited budget that might help.

Why doesn’t the liquid paint run as much into wet areas as much as the pan? At least it seems that to me.
It would be nice to learn what type of stroke/technique are used to make that cloud effect
The technique we use for these clouds is wet on wet! With your darkest value at the bottom of the cloud, you will want to pull color from the bottom of the cloud and do curved strokes as you blend the areas. Hope this helps!
Wat’s thé différence to Work with thé liquide and thé solid paint
Merci
Where is the pause button Or are you referring to the home key? I am watching this on my iPhone.
usually if you tap on the video while it's playing, a pause button will show up on the screen--then you can press that to pause the video.
Judy Smith Thanks, Judy.
Keenan made my Alexa start and play that song by Craig Morgan! Lol
Oops.
Sarah, how did you learn to draw so well? I’m just starting and it’s difficult. ☹️.
Myra Lawson practice practice is the best way to get better. 🌷💫
Outlines for some kits make it a bit easier too!
These clouds you painted are glorious! 🌸
Let's Make Art ❤️
Thank you! This was fun! One question - was my kit for the month supposed to have graphite paper? (It’s my first month)
Yes it should have! That would have been in the Let's Make Art Matter postcard, just inside the plastic sleeve
Fun fact... silos stay mostly on the ground.
Which brand is this pan palette? Do you sell it on your site? Only it? I mean, not in a kit.

How can I go back to the beginning to see the beginning to paint this
?????
seems every time tape dWhat is the trick to pull it off safely
Try pulling your tape off at an angle rather than straight up or down! Pull it away from your painting so that in case the paper does tear a bit, it doesn't ruin your image. You can also try placing the tape on your clothing before putting it on your paper to get some of that extra "stick" off :)
thank you
And, my Alexa just tried to play the song!
Hi.pls can u give me the number of brush.?thx
We use a Round 2 and Round 6 for our projects!
