I learned a tip about drawing out your flowers or objects before painting. Instead of using pencil and having it show or dealing with erasing, you could use a watercolor pencil very lightly that will blend with your painting when wet. 🙃
Yes, definitely!!! Happy Painting!!😊
Oh, I was going to ask about using a pencil. When the artist described erasing the pencil marks, does she mean after the paint has dried?
I just rec'd a set of watercolor markers & watercolor pad as a gift and this is my first tutorial into how to use this medium. It's beautiful. Thank you for you advice and thank you TanyaLeintz for this engaging and informative tutorial. You're very talented.🌺🎨🌻💧🌸🖼🖌
@@isabellind1292 yes, they mean after the paint has dried. But if you paint over your pencil , it won’t erase nicely. If you have watercolor pencils, use those instead. Then you won’t have to erase at all. It will blend in with your watercolor. I hope this helps. 😊
Yes, a watercolor pencil will work great. Thanks for mentioning that!😊
@@TanyaLeintz You're both very helpful. Thank you for your help.
I’m so glad I found your channel! I just bought there 96 pack of brush markers so I could learn how to do watercolors. You make it look so easy! I can’t wait to try these flowers🥰 You are a wonderful teacher.
Thank you Diane! I hope you love them as much as I do! Have fun!
Same, I just received the Ohuhu package of watercolor pens and I've only ever used Prismacolor and Faber Castell pencil crayons lol. I've been gifted 5 different types of watercolor pencil crayons but I don't think I've ever used them the way another of your v8ds explained them to me. I still suck lol but getting more confident with the pencils at least, if I remember ill let you know how I do with the brush pens 🥰🥰🥰
@@michellekaraocorn Yes! Let me know how you like them. Happy Painting!
@@TanyaLeintz well as gugung hoe I was to use them life got in the way lol. I have finally had a chance to use them o a variety of canvases, papers,and some woods as well as windows lol. I personally majorly sucked with them. But my Arts & Crafts buddy was amazing. Personally I think I will only use them for that tie dye type backgrounds lol.
Oh and I passed the video to the A&C group, as I literally spent 4 solid days looking for a coherent instructional video and you definitely are the best.
Thank you Soo much for taking the time to actually teach with care.👼👼👼👼
Thanks, after 12 hours of going through vids for this exact topic your not only the most coherent for beginners, but the most honest about how things don't always work the way you expect and to experiment with what you're using
Thanks Michelle! I’m so glad you found my channel and that I’m able to help and teach you! Have fun practicing!!
Amen.
11:58 Happened across your channel at exactly the right time for me. Hand and wrist problems slow me down and I gave up on coloring with pencils, which I loved. Now I have more ideas to use with my markers and I will be turning my paper more. At almost 76 years old, I can use all of the tips and techniques that I can get. You are encouraging. Thank you.
@@brendadudley6474 you are very welcome! I have been having arms problems lately as well. This is such a “gentle on your arm” medium to work with. Happy Painting!😊
I wanted to express how amazing of a teacher you are ❤️ thank you for making this video!
Wow you just made my day! Thank you!! Happy Painting!
I totally agree!!
What I find frustrating about these pens is that they don't really blend as well as regular watercolours - they sink into the paper where you apply them with sharp outlines and they don't really move on top of it. I'm trying to find an advantage they have over watercolours - but I can't see any? I have a different brand though - but they all seem very similar.
Hi, you are definitely correct. When you apply the marker directly to the paper, it does usually leave a dark line. If you can use that line to your advantage in your painting, like adding some details. Then it works great. You can also rub some marker off onto your palette and then dip your wet brush into that. It does take some time to find your groove with them. If you like them, keep trying new techniques. Happy Painting
The type of paper really makes a difference I've been told.. happy painting
Thank you, I have learned alot from this tutorial. Now I know how to use my watercolour brush pens.😊❤✍️
Glad it was helpful!
Ooooooh those look so great! Thank you for posting. I’ve had these kind of brushes for ages and hadn’t really worked out how to use them. Loving this! And you make it look easy too
You are so welcome! Glad I could help!
Beautiful! I've just bought some pens to try, can ' t paint to save my life so I've found your tutorial very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you for watching! You are going to love them!!! Happy painting!
In Sweden, sunflowers have narrow long leaves all around, not five leaves.😀
Yes here too. Lol, that tutorial was just about the markers. Thanks for watching. Happy Painting!
This is exactly what I want to learn to do! For starters I have the Arteza pens. Thank you so much. Time to practice. Tfs ❤
You are so welcome!
This is THE FIRST TUTORIAL I GOT!
THANK YOU!!!
I had a STROKE, and am trying to re- LEARN some of my ART SKILLS!
It's been a STRUGGLE!
Hi Sandra! I’m so glad you found my channel! I hope I can help you re-learn some art skills. Hang in there, you’ll do just fine!☺️
You can do it! Start small and work your way back up! 😺
2 months post your post. Hope that you are doing well and stuff is coming back. I did not have a stroke but a rather big brain 'shake up" where I lost a lot of my stuff. It's all there I just had to relax & not overthink sh*t. You got this. (Painting/drawing had to come from my shoulder/elbow using a brush for quite a while. Not too large. But you've probably zoomed past that already.)
So happy to find this tutorial!!! Thank you! I have this set and I have found ice blue is a wonderful color for glass, as in replicating a glass vase. Artesia also sells four packs of one color if you go through specific colors a lot. I bought the 96 set and I absolutely love mine.
Fyi.... If you take the paint marker back over a wet surface the paint marker actually absorbs the water and the color leaves the brush nib.
Then you have to wait for the color to return. You can blend colors but it's very difficult to add color to a surface that is too wet.
Thank you for watching! Thanks for letting me know about the four packs! That’s so good to know.
Thank you
I bought a set of watercolour brush pens from Typo..... and there is just no way I can get it to create nice images with water added. It is as if it immediately fixates onto the paper and would not react to water.... Is it just a bad "brand"? Nameless but sold at Typo who is supposed to have reasonably good supplies.....
I have never used that brand before. I’m only familiar with Arteza and Tombow. I’ll try and find that brand to test it out. Thanks for watching
I bought the brush pens on special but didn't know how to use them. Thanks for showing me. Though the video was too slow. Would've been better if shown first 2 petals then fast forward. Though hints were extremely helpful.
Lol, that video was from over a year ago. I’ve learned how to create faster videos since then. Thanks for watching!!! Happy Painting!😊
Thx 4 this lovely tutorial, but i was very supprised, my ohuhu watercolormarkers releas so much more color,to me they almost don't look like blendable watercolor markers.
Ohhhh I have to try those next! Thank you for watching!
Thank you, I love this! Very helpful and perfect for me starting out learning to paint and use water colors ❤️
I’m so glad I could help!!! Have a great time painting!!
Would the process be the same using watercolor pencil? I'm new to this but I have a nice set of pencils and I'm thinking i might be able to do some of these pretty flowers.
Hello! The outcome for Watercolor pencil is a bit different then the brush pens. But the technique is pretty much the same. Lay down your pencil then go over it with water. But you can also dip the pencil in water and get a bolder line. Happy Painting
I just ordered some primrosia (I think that’s the brand name anyways)
Good! Have fun painting!!😊
I think these techniques can also be easily accomplished with watercolour pencils or pan paint. No need to spend more money.
Hi, sure you can. But if you already have the markers or pencils, then have fun using them. But you are correct. Happy Painting
Love your teaching technique, love your clear speaking voice. I already have the pens. Thankyou.
Thank you so much Denise!! I really appreciate your comments. Have fun with the pens!!!! Take care!
Thank you this was fun. My paper is terrible the colors have bled out a lot and the markers didn’t seem to have as much color in them as yours. What is the name of the paper you use?
Hi Michelle! I used Arches Watercolor Paper in this video. Fine Grain 140lb. Thanks for watching!
Hello! Just found your video. Working on the flowers but I’m having lots of issues. What kind of watercolor paper do you recommend? I have two different types, one from Walmart (Grumbacher) and one from Hobby Lobby (Masters Touch). Water color markers are by Crayola. I see you’re using ones by Arteza. Perhaps they’re much better.
Hello, I used Arches Watercolor paper in that video. Fine grain, 140lb. There are many great watercolor papers out there. I love working with the Arteza and Tombow watercolor markers. Those are the only two I’ve used so far. Im planning on trying more brands. Thanks for watching!!!
Do you have any issues with the markers shreddig on watercolor papaer? tombow recomends a smooth paper or mixed media so i have been hesitant to try a real watercolor paper. thank you again!
Can you share which Arches watercolor paper please. There are several to choose from and was not sure which one. Thanks so much. This is a wonderful tutorial.
Hello, I used Arches Cold Press, Fine Grain, 140lb. Thank you so much for watching! Happy Painting
Love yr channel! You make it all look so doable. I had 6 Watercolour Felt Tip Pens in my drawer, so not quite the same but I'll practice some of yr techniques. Thanks alot.
Thank you for watching! Have fun painting!
Wonder about mixing the markers and pencils?
I will try that. Thanks!
Hello, I love this video. I have very recently became fascinated with watercolor. I really want to do this but have 0 talent (maybe undiscovered)in the world of art. Can I do this without any artistic ability? Also I see the brand of paper you use, but is it a 300, 170?
Watercolor is really fun to paint with. The more you practice, the better you will become. The brand of paper I use is arches cold press 300. Thanks for watching!
Hi, it is 300. Thx
For some reason I find I have to work with the pink much quicker.
Hi Pam, thank you so much for watching! Happy painting.
Any chance you could paint a prickly cactus with white flower
That's a great idea! Thanks!
Thank you so much.
Thank you for watching!!
Thank you so much for sharing your talents! It’s makes me feel like I might actually be able to do this! Could you possibly show poppies and daisies sometime?
Hi Sarah! Thank you for watching! I think I have a daisy tutorial from about a year ago. If you go to my channel, you will see it. But I may do another daisy video in the near future.
@@TanyaLeintz found it! Thanks!❤️
sunflowers have pointed petals can you show how to do that?
?
Hello, yes I have two other videos on Sunflowers. You will find them on my channel. Thanks for watching!! Happy Painting
I have had a set of these markers and also a set of Jane Davenport watercolor markers for about 6 years or more. I love doing watercolor lettering. I can tell you these markers are still working and like you said "some better than others." That's impressive for inexpensive markers. Your flowers are great and watching your video is making me want to get out my markers and play. I also prefer using my nicer watercolor brushes to blend them. Thank you for a great video. Have you tried Karin Watercolor Brush markers? I adore them. There's a definite learning curve with them but they are super-juicy! Super pricey, sadly.
Amazing tutorial!!! 🌹Especially for beginners like me who want to dip into watercolor and not sure where to start!! Just subscribed to your channel hoping to see more beginners tutorials 😊
Thank you Margarita! I just added a really cute Pop Art Sheep painting last week. I think you will like that one! Stay well!
Wow!! How beautiful. You make it look so easy. I really want to give this a try. New subscriber here 🌈🥰✌🏼✌🏼
Thank you for watching! I think you will love them!
I'll search your videos to see if you've covered this, but could you please show how to start with a pencil sketch and multiple watercolor pencil colors to make blends and by leaving white space where the light is supposed to hit? For instance, I'm attempting my third painting now of a pumpkin sitting out in a field, in front of mountains, with a stone walkway in front of it and hay under the pumpkin. So, I'm using 4 watercolor pencil colors in the pumpkin, 3 on the hay, 3 in the sky, etc. How do you hide the pencil sketch in the final piece? I find that it's easier for me to have outlines on pieces such as this... Thank you!❤❤❤
Oh yes of course the sunflower is not separate petals they are one whole flower with layers sorry to say tanya
Thanks Kay. This was just meant to be an easy fun tutorial. Nothing to precise. Happy Painting!😊
OK. I’m only 7 minutes into your video and I’m already getting the tickly feeling inside like “ I can do this!” Your pansy is getting me excited because I am a florist but I also come from a very artistic family
Thank you for watching! You are so funny. I love going into flower shops and getting inspired. You are very lucky to be a florist!
@@TanyaLeintz I wanted to do that since I was seven years old when I was with my aunt and she was ordering her wedding flowers. The September after I graduated from high school I went to the American floor arts school in Chicago.
@@janetross1900 I’m jealous!! Lol
Are these Arteza watercolor brush pens or Arteza watercolor markers?
Watercolor brush pens. 😊
@@TanyaLeintz 😊
That was fun! I had gotten some of these markers a while back, and played a little, mostly just making marks to see how they blend, but didn't get much further than that because I thought, "Why not just use watercolor?" So I put them away and went back to my watercolor. So this was a good little demonstration, and I enjoyed painting with you. Thanks! 😃
@@rubyfisch5077 thank you so much Ruby! Have a great time painting!😊
Do you ever use 91% alcohol to spread the color?
I have used 91% Alcohol on Yupo paper, but not regular watercolor paper. I will try that! Thanks for the idea!
Wow just found yoir page I have Autism and was gng to give up on my watercolor markers its so confusing to me but the flowers are so cool and the way you show it gave me confidence! I look forward to more learning with these markers for a newbie like me!! Thank yoi!!!! 💙
Jessie, I’m so glad you found my channel. My nephew is on the spectrum as well, and LOVES to draw. Never give up. It’s more about enjoying the process then the outcome. Just paint for love of painting. Happy holidays!
Great video. Could you also make a video showing how these work on watercolor paper that is not 100% cotton? And could you show the effects when you use the pen/brush that comes with the set? Thanks!
Hi Bonnie! I’m putting together some tutorials using Yupo Paper. It’s a synthetic paper that doesn’t absorb paint, it just needs to evaporate. The look is so lovely!! Thanks for the comment! Stay well!
I will enjoy my brushes much more now that i watched your video,Thank you so much for sharing.
You’re very welcome! I’m so glad I could help.
WOW!
That is so cool!
Keep up the good work!
Thank you for watching!!!
Thank you for such a great tutorial! I’m new to calligraphy and wanted to be able to do creative cards. I worked along with you and even though not nearly as pretty as yours (don’t have as many colors) I’m pretty proud of how it turned out. Was soooo fun! Thank you:-)
I’m so glad to hear that Tom! I’m sure yours is beautiful! Thanks for watching!
Bristol paper is perfect for brush markers! You can really work the color out very easily with water and a brush. In other words, you won’t get the ‘outlined’ effect of the Bristol paper!
Thank you! I will try that! Thanks for watching!
Matbe try red-orange on the rose?
Nice idea!
Thank you for sharing how to use brush markers. Your method works really well with Strathmore Vision watercolor paper and Poetique brush markers. I need to try the same technique with my Fabriano cotton watercolor paper and Kuretake Zig Real Brush markers.
Great! Let me know how it works! I’ve never used that brand.
I have the Staedler 18 set, the colors are awesome, but it behaves exactly as you demonstrated here 2:20. I am coming from watercolor pencils, a pencil mark dissolves brutally easy, this brush paint dissolves very hard you spend half of your life to spread out some faint layer of pigment from them. I have the impression that these are designed to be used as is and use watercolor as an edge smoother nothing more.
I haven’t tried that brand yet. Let me know if you find a brand you like. I’d love to try them! Thx
If you want to blend watercolor brush pens, you need to apply the water on the paper first, then the ink. Putting the ink on dry paper won't give you those nice watercolor blends.
Good to know!
Brand matters. I used canson graduate paper and chromatek 55 ct watercolor pens and they require very little water and no pressure to blend out. it is easy to lose definition and blend everything into 1 solid color. I did the dark centers of the petals and then drew a petal shape with the water brush next to the centers (no touching) and then gently let the pigment flow into the water. I can guide it a little, but if I do too much, it all blends into one color. I can't add details and rewet the paper (i.e. the red purple addition to the purple flower) without ruining the details I already had. Whatever colors I put down have to be right the first time. It's very hard to cover up mistakes because the pigment is strong and stains the paper quickly.
@@user-ys6xl7xy7s love this! I’m going to try! Thank you. 😊
tombows r also good
Hi Sherry! I just discovered those and did a comparison tutorial last week on Tombow and Arteza . Thanks for watching!
Just when I was ready to give up, you showed me what I am doing wrong . I'm inspired to try again. Thank you
Oh yeah, I loved your Black eyed Susan.
Thank you Barbara!!! I’m glad I could inspire you!!
Good info, simply explained and demo'd, I like the one flower didn't turn out so you can show that. Only thing would suggest is to encourage making swatches of the colors. Love this and am going to play!!
Good idea! Thank you for watching!
Tanya this was very helpful! Lie the idea of using the brush to draw the colors out. Thanks!
Thank you for watching!
Wow this video really helped i am new to watercolor markers so u really helped tysm for posting ❤btw u got s new subscriber ty for this amazing video😊
Thank you so much for watching! Happy Painting
I enjoyed watching your video about painting simple watercolor flowers and plan to try some of them. Thanks!
Thank you for watching! Happy Painting
Love your channel. Do you prefer watercolor markers over watercolor pencils? Beautiful flowers.
Yes I do. I feel they are a bit more unpredictable, which I love! Happy Painting
Looks great. You can also rub the marker on a slick surface like a plastic bag and pull the color off and use it like watercolor. Thanks for sharing. You got my morning going.
That is such a great idea Gloria! I love it and can't wait to try that technique! Thanks for watching!
This ☝️is EXACTLY what I needed to see and EXACTLY how I needed to be taught - including the part where you needed to go back and make the two petals a little bigger! I'm always learning by having to fix things! Thank you for sharing and helping!
I’m so glad this video helped you!!! Thank you for watching!!
This was actually REALLY good. I’m SO proud of my art now especially since it’s my first time! Thank you SO much! This was really helpful! ❤❤❤
You are very welcome! I’m glad I could help you! Happy Painting
Seems like you don’t need to work that paper, color or brush that hard.. the paint will do all that work for you…
Totally! You’ll love it! You can even achieve great texture if that’s what you are looking for. Just experiment and have fun! ☺️
I have only just caught up with you and got my brush pens today. So I'm looking at videos for ideas etc. Had to have a laugh when you said pansies aren't your favorite flowers, me too, but when I asked my sister what's her favorite she said "pansies!" Now I know how to paint them! Thank you!
That’s hilarious! Now you can paint them for her!! Check out my newer videos for watercolor brush pen landscapes if you’d like. Thank for watching!!! Stay safe!
I like to use a frixion erasable pen it erases even after the water color has dried…you are so great at freehanding,,,thank you so much.🦋your center on your last tiny flower looks raised..gorgeous…🦋
Thank you for watching! I’m going to look into that erasable pen. Thx!
It always amazing to me how much better things look when they dry! My favorite watercolor markers are the Zig Clean color and I think Chromatic but I also have some Artezas and I find that I revisit the different types and enjoy them all - yes, I’m a bit of a collector… I also like using them for calligraphy
Thank you for watching! I will have to try that brand. Thanks!
Ohuhu has some as well, I love their other products but have not tried their watercolor brush markers, yet, at least tempting though
I use tombow. i am new to this world but am enjoying them. thank you for the ideas and yechniques. really appreciate your simple way if teaching. nice for a beginner
Thanks!
Thank you for watching!!
This is amazing but I already outlined it and when she did to make it more realistic you don’t have to outline it I was like bruh but overall this was so helpful and amazing you are great at this
Thank you so much Maddison! Happy painting!
Oh my goodness this is what I am looking for to get started. Thank you so much!!!
@@lisascountrycreations334 you are very welcome!!!
I just found your channel 2 years later but great techniques! I love my brush markers and I keep learning more ways to use them! Beautiful! I love to use these I have different brands and although they are different from each other, I love them all all.
Which brand do you like best?
I love my duel tip watee colour pens and fine line markers can use them as pens or add water and pzint with them and make beautiful pictures .
Thank you for watching! Have fun painting!!!
Thats not a sunflower they are pointed but it’s pretty and I finally know how to use my new markers thx
Thank you! I’m glad I could help you along! Stay well!
There is so much depth in those petals. So you don't have to dip the colored pens in water? The paint is right in the tip of the marker? I thought we'd have to dip the tip into water to activate the color. So pretty
Hello, thank you for watching. No, don’t dip the markers in water. Just apply the marker to paper and use a brush with water to activate the ink to blend.
So water color markers are just to put the pigment on the paper? You still have to use a brush and water?
Yes, you still need to add water with a brush. But you could always just leave it as marker if you’d like.
Wow your rely good thank you so much ur tips rely helped hun thank you x x x 😀
Thank you for watching!!
I love how you’re teaching there’s not a lot of technical speak, which usually makes me feel like things need to be perfect. It makes it easier for me to understand also can I use my finger? Because I forgot to get a brush 😂 I only have the brush pens
You’re very welcome! I try to make it as easy as possible, so the learning process is not overwhelming. I don’t think your finger will work with the paint. 😂 But you can try. Happy Painting!
@@TanyaLeintz thank you so much 😊 and I’ll give the finger a shot 😂
i have the same pens, when im using my water brush i squeze water out with the cap on so it wets my brush but the water doesnt go all over
Great idea!!!! Thx!!
Good...
Thank you for watching!!
Great tutorial! TFS the inspiration!
Thank you for watching! Happy Painting!
Thank you for this! I’ve been trying regular watercolor painting and not getting far. I love this idea for more control and detail. Definitely getting me a simple starter set!!
Thank you for wAtching!! You’ll love them!😊
That's great 👍🤩
I'm going to try it!!😇🌷
You’ll love them!
Can I ask, do you dab water off your brush after being in the water?
Yes, I do when I feel there is a bit too much water on the brush. Thanks for asking. Happy Painting
So fun and beautiful! I love this 😍
Thank you Gabriella! Happy Painting!!
Learned so much…thanks!
Thank you for watching!!
❤ i love them I have so many materials ill start with these thank u Sweetheart ❤
Thank you for watching! Happy Painting
I love the look and it’s easy. Nice!
Have fun painting!!
This is a very helpful video. The vast majority of videos on brush markers only color-swatch and do "calligraphy", which isnt helpful, so thank you for actually teaching me how to use them. I would really like to see you show us more artwork using brush markers.
Thank you very much! I’m glad it was helpful. Yes, I will work on another video with brush markers. 😊 happy painting
I absolutely appreciate U!! I'm thankful I found Ur channel. Very calm & informative!
Thank you so much! I love teaching art! Glad you liked it.
I've learned a lot, Thank you mam!
Thank you for watching! Happy Painting
Thank you for the video.
You are very welcome! Have fun painting!!
What kind of paper are you using
I believe that tutorial was on Arches Watercolor Paper.
What a amazing work of art !Absolutely loveyBig thumbs up
Thank you!!!!❤️
Such an intriguing painting approach, especially tailored to discovering the magic that happens when the color mingle together. Thank you for generously sharing your creative process and providing a valuable learning opportunity for many artists. Wishing you a truly wonderful day ahead.
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you!! Love this
Thank you Sarah! 😊
Very helpful video! 😃
Thank you!!
You're an amazing teacher and I just got my markers today, so I'm stoked to make people bookmarkers that I'll deliver to the local nursing home with books. I just began dabbling in watercolor and watercolor pencils about a week ago then yesterday I saw someone make fall leaves with these markers. So, I jumped on Amazon and they were here overnight! Anyway, you've taught me more in 5 min so far than I've learned in every watercolor video I've watched in the last week... Thank you for offering your beautiful knowledge for free on TH-cam. I can't afford private lessons and this is a great way to learn such fun mediums ❤❤❤
@@PaigeNicoleKomar thank you so much for the kind words! What a wonderful idea you have to bring them to the nursing home! Happy Painting!😊
I haven't used my watercolor markers in a year or so. I may have to get them out and start practicing more. Honestly, I wasn't using them as watercolor markers at first. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching! Happy Painting!
Very nice , Thanks dear
Thank you!!
I enjoyed this , I do have these arteza markers and I haven’t done anything like this,, thank you for your inspiration,,,,xxxxx 🍂🌻🍁
You are very welcome! Happy painting!
Beautiful blends. Gorgeous results. There are so many versions of Arteza markers. Which one specifically are you using?
Hi, I’m using the Arteza Watercolor Brush pens/ markers. 😊
Really happy I found your channel. I bought the 120 pack., which was a little overwhelming!!! But now I know when to start. Thank you!
Great!!! Thank you so much for watching!! Happy painting!
