😍Good question! I have been chasing art my entire life, but finally had the time to settle down into serious study in 2017. Since then I have been cycling between student and teacher. Sometime in 2018 I took an Acrylic Pour Workshop and thought to try it with watercolors, I fell in love with the challenge and beautiful color blends of Watercolor Pouring and later learned there are many artists who pour. This was a great moment, gave me a realization that us artists are to travel together and that art is better shared! Since then I have pushed myself to teach more, then with the Pandemic started this channel to expand on that. Thank you for taking the time to stop by this channel and share your thoughts!
@@watercolorpour thankyou for starting this channel. I love what u do and would like to try. I am retired now and have time but never the inspiration or techniques. At school art was my best subject but I never pursued the pleasure.
@@rebeccafiveash4335 I only started after I retired from office-work...I needed to pay the bills all these years, not that the bills have stopped coming. However, now, I am trying to make up for lost time with art! :)
Your decision to 'go absolutely crazy' with the stencil lifting paid off! The painting took on the look of some dense jungle foliage. Very cool technique! 😁
You are so welcome! - I just did added a NEW video on black backgrounds that may bring inspo too if you do any holiday themed cards (Halloween) th-cam.com/video/BU0DA2ZyCXw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for sharing your process. I’ve done watercolor off and on for years and did not know what pouring technique was. You’re opening up a whole New World of ideas for me. I am impressed with your skill, creativity, and willingness to share ideas. Thank you so much.🌹
I love your technique and color combinations. Thanks for the stencil idea. I’m not much of a fan of using masking fluid. Can’t wait to try this in an undersea theme.
Wow this is the first of your videos I have watched and I just got a rush of Inspiration, I immediately subscribed and liked and looking forward to watching and creating them myself. Love it 😍😍
Buffy, I’m just getting into watercolor and found your videos. Your teaching method is great and the techniques in this video are completely new to me. Thank you Buffy!
hey there Barry! Hope you and Barbara are doing well, so happy you are exploring watercolors! It really is a great enrichment to our lives, and can be a lovely time studying God's creation
Love your process. Like hearing someone else who is learning to go with the flow. I have been heading in that direction myself. Not always easy to override the technical headspace.
It’s brilliant in its simplicity, with beautiful result … I know it must have taken ages to reach that level … but Whaouh ! What a colorful painting … so fresh ! Thanks for sharing 🤗🙏🏻🤩
I really liked this video! Thanks! Im new to watercolor so my mind was blown a couple of times and there are several things you did that I would like to try. Its on my playlist so I can go back and learn again later 😊
This is the most beautiful watercolor piece! If you were to print fabric from this, I would have to buy yards of it and fill my house! I am so in awe of your style, techniques, use of color...truly inspiring. I’m just getting started in watercolor and appreciate your guidance. Cheers from Florida! ☀️
So beautiful! I love watercolors and I have a good collection of stencils, this is the fist time that I’ve seen someone using it like me, I thought I was the only one in the supermarket 😂 Have you try Cricut machine to cut your stencils? It is a dream! I have an old one but works for what I needed. I can share a couple of stencils with you! ❤ Thank you!!!
Yes, I design and hand cut my own stencils with small scissors or use a Cricut Machine to cut out the more intricate designs. Here is a one minute video sharing how I use the Cricut to cut them. th-cam.com/users/shortsfXr3RB6odWI Many of the products I use to make my own stencils as well as some favorite pre made stencils are listed for your shopping convenience on my Amazon Affiliate Art Page, by purchasing through this link I receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. : www.amazon.com/shop/watercolorpour/list/SSEMGEBCOJUL Here is a playlist of videos that share more techniques used with stencils: th-cam.com/play/PLWuS2JKtoVgdZ-FJ2HK5PnQ2qnx2qOa9k.html
My dear new friend ❤️, this video is a JOY to watch! I was right there with you the entire way, intrigued and mesmerized; I didn't want it to end 👀! Hope your burn heals quickly! It's hard to focus on safety when you're excited about your creation! I can attest to that, I got into an argument with my drill and a wire brush attachment, ouch! LoL "Artist Promise". Great concept 👌 I'll put out a video after the first of the year and call it out! You have inspired me!!! Buffy, your work is so very beautiful and I look forward to seeing you create much more! Blessings to you and your family 🙏❤️ peace and wellness ❤️ 🎨Art~On🎨
I am so very excited and can’t wait to see your video and your painter promise too! I’m so thankful for art and the beauty and positivity it brings to my life, like you! So nice to hear from you!
no, I add a drop or two of water to the watercolor pans to rewet them and add a tablespoon of water to each ramekin, then I mix up colors to use like a liquid watercolor
Hi Buffy, I love your videos and appreciate all of your talent and generosity. I gather that you make your own hand cut stencils. What ML of mylar o you recommend? Is there a brand that you recommend? Many thanks!
Lovely and very fun. I am interested in the your stencil cutting. What kind of non heat stencil cutting tool did you buy? I have tried the hot knife without good results!
I tried the gyro cutter but returned it, then tried the OWDEN Professional Precision Knife which I kept as a cutting tool but for stencil cutting seems easiest to use manicure scissors and the Tim Holtz ones as seen in this video. Im always on the search, so if you find any that work well please share 😉
Beautiful. Wish it was mine!
How long have you been water colour painting
What started you on this road

Thank you!
I am enjoying this and learning. Thank you. I am excited to try this!!
🥰
Have fun! So excited for you
Thanks for this video! Best way to cut a stencil out of acetate is to tape it down and use an exacto knife
Love it. 😊. You are very inspiring
thank you
Love this technique! I can’t believe the paper did not tear when you used the toothbrush on it.
It takes some practice to get the right pressure, good to test on scrap paper first 😀
There are many ways to paint. Trying more will always bring you back. Your method is very effective.
I love this stencil lifting technique I can't wait to try it.
So fun, hope you enjoy it as much as I do ☀️💛
Absolutely gorgeous
The joy you find in painting is contagious and clearly evident in the final products!
Thank you
Such great techniques and beautiful pouring. Thank you.
Absolutely gorgeous and love how you share your techniques x ❤️
Thank you again for your planned work, it's important.
Really interesting technique and wonderful outcome 👏
Thank you! So glad you like it! Happy to have this break through, will be a great way to add foliage on projects
Wow, very beautiful and translucent colors, great, very clean feeling!
What a wonderful result! I love the way you use regular paints in batches and use the pipettes.
Thank you! 😉
I absolutely love this!
Your technique is rather genius! I love doing wet on wet with watercolor but had never thought to do lifting with stencils format.
This was beautiful, the process and the end result! Thank you for explaining along the way.
I enjoyed watching your lovely process and lovely outcome 🥰
I love your technique and color combinations. Thanks for the stencil idea. I’m not much of a fan of using masking fluid. Can’t wait to try this in an undersea theme.
Masking fluid can be so tricky, some projects I use it, but love finding work arounds too
Nice
thank you
Beautiful work 💕

Been wondering what to do for the card for my baby's 40th birthday, not much inspiration out there for men going to play with this idea love it
What a wonderful idea! 💡🤍🤍
@watercolorpour is this liquid watercolor? Because you show your pan palette so I was a bit confused how you got so much paint. Amazing work I love it
no, I add a drop or two of water to the watercolor pans to rewet them and add a tablespoon of water to each ramekin, then I mix up colors to use like a liquid watercolor

Can you use a regular toothbrush instead of a bamboo one or does it make a big difference?
A regular one should work as long as it’s not tooo too soft
Is that a soft bamboo toothbrush?
medium 😊❤
How much do you charge for a ,12 by 18
Here is a site where I sell prints of my work in various sizes www.saatchiart.com/buffykaufman
Have you ever made a painters promise?
What is that?
Beautiful
Thank you 😊 I hope you have a wonderful day
