Dandelions are medicine.They are also bee's first food. We choose to call them weeds. They grow where your lawn needs calcium and aeration. This was fun, thank you for teaching negative painting. I struggle with this.
I joined let's make art in March. I just have to say how much I enjoy painting with you, and watching your channel. The joyful conversations and laughter always cheer me up. And I have found new confidence as an artist. Keep up the great work LMA!
I am be to watercolors and just finished watching you paint the seemingly and felt I learned more than any other demoes. Thank you. I wish we could talk. Dragonflies are my favoeite. Now to watch th dandelions!
Again, Keenan shows his encylopedic knowledge of Disney films, lol!!! But he needs to brush up on Dr. Seuss. Another enjoyable and beautiful tutorial. Thank you guys, so much!!!
Sarah mentioned that she irons her paintings afterward, to flatten out the buckling. Can you tell me what the process is? Thank you in advance. :) Also, I love the color choices for this painting, and I can't wait to try it!
Put your dry painting in white cotton fabric (painting side down- I put it in a white pillowcase )) iron the back of the painting while in the pillowcase, I also use a bit of steam. Once it’s nice and ironed and while it is still warm/hot, place it under a flat heavy surface to cool (I have used books, tiles, whatever I have depending on the size of the painting)
new to watercolors and first THANK YOU!! i use art as distraction therapy for pain and I am thrilled to escape into watercolors instead of constantly thinking of my pain ... Second is there a video that talks about bleed proof white? how much water to use, can you use your same brush or do you need one just for bpw? thanks again you all are wonderful!
I'm a brand new painter, and I am so excited . . . I just ordered my first box last night (the June watercolor art box). Hoping I will have it for next week's painting. I also subscribed for the monthly subscription box!
Love the video breaks and marks! Love the close ups! tutorials keep getting better. well done! Question: do you ever drop ink (like Bombay ink) in the background washes?
Also, some brands of pigment watercolour paint will spread more easily than others. It depends on the ingredients used, e.g. honey. Also, dandelion fuzz balls are seed heads.
Actually dandelions are bee food. They are very important because it is one of the first available sources of food for the honey bees after a long winter. Also for humans, the roots can be used as a tea. There has been claims that it can help with cancer.
You mentioned the how well the liquid paints and the Canson paper go together for the bleeds. What paper do you recommend with solid paints to get a similar effect? Thanks.

I'm not sure what the conversion rate would be. Our boxes are $35 USD +shipping. International shipping does cost a bit more than domestic. Also this is a Karen friendly zone. All questions are welcomed. ;)
You can try to blend it out. Hard lines can be hard when layering or adding additional water. Blooms can happen. Sarah usually tells us to embrace the bloom.
I love this one. I will likely paint it again!
Such a classic project that we love!!
The return of Keenan! 👊 Appreciate your enthusiasm for wind.
I can't wait to try this one!!
Hope you like it!
Who could dislike this??

I use a crappy brush for the bp white. Go easy on the water, you can always add more. Keep painting and best wishes!

Not usually but that sounds like a fun concept to try!
wowowoowowowowowow
Dandelion seeds are known as ‘ clock’! That’s the white fuzz you’re referring too x
That is so interesting!
Used the lid from the white paint in the subscription box and it was a good size for the dandelions! if you want something to help draw them
That is a great idea!

We used to call the seeds flying "fairies" when we were kids.
You mentioned ironing your paper when you're done. How is that done?

How do you avoid the lines when you drop in paint
You can try to blend it out. Hard lines can be hard when layering or adding additional water. Blooms can happen. Sarah usually tells us to embrace the bloom.
Do you always paint with liquit watercolor?
Most of the time. We do have a few projects that are done with pan paints but Sarah prefers the vibrant colors achieved with liquid paints.
@@LetsMakeArt Thank You!
Dandelions will choke out grass...so I guess it depends if you want a lawn full of "weeds" or grass.
P\S new to watercolors....paint the dragonflies
I’m first! 😬
Yes you are!
