I have always felt that art should be mandatory for every grade. It’s fun. It helps with creative thinking in everyday problems. It teaches us to find beauty in just about everything and everyone. Art teaches us that we, and everything around us, is a miracle. Thank you for this watercolor lesson.
Hey pal... I've been layed up w/ my prosthetic and just MOVED to...BALI!!!! BEEN SWITCHING TO WATERCOLORS because it's easier for clean up and I didn't want to pack all my stuff... there are art supplies here of course. .. so that's why I'm diggin' your tutorials on watercolors.. glad to hear your voice again... thanks for all you do for us.. yer the BEST XOX
Hi Susan! I've noticed how much more I pay attention to nature since I've gone back to painting. I go out on a walk early in the morning and I've noticed the pinks and the blues in the clouds and it's so much fun REALLY seeing everything.
Exactly Rhonda! As artists we are students of nature. I think it gives us an interesting perspective to the world and we see things in a way that others don’t.
Hi Susan 🥰 My exam got postponed and is estimated to be held in September. I've a friend in states who's going to send me a palette of 48 Daniel Smith watercolors. I got to know about your mother lately, I'm very saddened. I remember speaking prayers for her, but we know she's in lord's hands now. Awesome video. Keep posting more 🥰 Love from India ❤️ Anish
I'm a beginner - at 68😄 I love the idea of loose watercolor and my books, stationary, wall art are all loose watercoloring... never paid much attention to the medium... just naturally gravitated to it! After watching videos for over a year I decided to give it a go! Love your art! Loved the pastel MONET you just sold and will buy a print! So please continue your journey with all of your viewers with more watercolor tutorials. Thank you so much for this 3 in 1! I am blessed by God's creation every day. Love & prayers, a grateful California gramma 😄🌴🌺💕
Amen Ann! Love your positive and faithful spirit. And it’s never too late to start learning to paint. I’ve really been enjoying watercolor over the past few years and I wish I had more time for it. Now you’ve got me wanting to start a watercolor painting, LOL! Be blessed sweetheart.
Gorgeous. These are the first flowers I painted when I first began watercoloring. I don’t think I’ll ever tire of them. When I have a failed painting (lots of them!), I paint on the back side of the paper so that nothing goes to waste. I also like to go back to a failed painting and try to fix it. Sometimes I succeed. Failed painting sometimes make the best bookmarks. They also can make great miniatures if you work with a tiny mat and search for pretty spots. Watercoloring has given this dog a new lease on life. Thank you again for your beautiful interpretation of poppies. I love it!
These are beautiful! I can’t wait to try them. I’m 68 and painting for the first time. Got a taste in high school and have wanted to try ever since. I’m so thankful for artist like you who are sharing time and talent to teach us. To your comment about looking at the world differently: I’ve been trying to learn how to do skies and I find myself automatically looking at the sky every time I go out, deciding what colors I would use for this sky and what techniques might be most effective. We live in a beautiful world and I didn’t really appreciate it until recently. And painting has made that change for me.
YAY!! Thank you! @anniesavidge2468 Comments like this are part of why I do this. I love insiring others, especially in their art journey! Thank you for your sweet comment! If you haven't already, come join us on my patreon page! www.patreon.com/susanjenkinsage!!!!
YAY!! Thank you! @userathanasia Comments like this are part of why I do this. I love inspiring others, especially in their art journey! Thank you for your sweet comment!
As a beginner I tried this with hesitation. My result was too much watered down color that had me adding more and more, and too many brush strokes. But MY was it fun and informative! And to my surprise, even tho my mistakes are glaring, I am happy with the results. Thank you for your fun, detailed tutorial and your beautiful finished piece!
Gosh, I would love to have a watercolor channel. I’m afraid I’d have to clone myself though. Painting, filming myself and editing and uploading these videos is a full-time job. I love it, but it’s definitely a lot of work.
I’m a total beginner, been collecting supplies, books, vids and colors..the M Graham and Daniel Smith are amazing, all the quinacridone and iridescent ones very neat. The iridescent silver spattered finely makes great stars. There’s a cool spray bottle called Flairosol from Holland, (Amazon) like 14-16 bucks, very fine spray. Your poppies are gorgeous..just saw another poppy tutorial where they dry lifted some curved shapes to gently suggest individual petals, so much to learn! Oh..I’ve been exploring the D Smith Primatek colors made from natural stuff or authentic processes, like Sodalite Genuine and Green Apatite, super interesting colors, you can see Anastasia Mily use the Sodalite in her “Misty Forest Scene” vid..I’m in love w that painting..
Thank You for this tutorial, I´ve been so afraid to start watercolouring, since people seem to tell you it´s so difficult, worked with acrylics which is so different, now watching your teaching I´ll actually gonna try.
Just wow! Such simple commentary/instruction with so many helpful tips in sharing your loose style. I also turned to watercolor bc of a yearning to express my appreciation of nature. You captured my sentiment as a fellow ‘student of nature’. Your talent inspires me to dedicate myself to this new discipline of worship. 🙏 🥰 🎨 Bless you!
Wonderful! I loved reading your comment. By the way, I have another watercolor tutorial I'll be uploading soon. And yes.... Hallelujah! It is a discipline of worship!! Have fun!!
It’s so true, the way we become super aware of nature as artists, taking in every nuance of shape and colour and texture. Your words must’ve been anointed, I was teary and thanking God before you even mentioned him.
Thank you for this easy to follow and encouraging video. These were a joy to paint. I tried not to be too judgemental about it and just enjoy the looseness of this process and I am pleased with the result. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much… I absolutely love watercolor and I’ve got a try to fit more watercolor painting in. I’ve had a few life road bumps lately but things have settled out, so hopefully soon!
@@monetcafe I totally understand bumps. I was just dx with RA. I'm trying to figure it out. Good luck and God's blessings on you. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world. You are amazing for sharing your gifts.
Absolutely scrumptious! The way you held your brush is similar to holding a pastel! Great layering and spattering. Thank you ….it fills my heart to watch and listen to you.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS you give in each video to teach and give detailed information. I am a beginner and I have a confusing question: When do I know that in this stage of painting I have to do wet on wet or wet on dry etc? Thank you in advance for your time and help. Best wishes.
That's a good question, Maha. The wet on wet technique will produce softer results with muted edges. This is often a good way to start backgrounds. Working on a dry surface will give you a more textural look and more intense color. Of course the amount of water you add for either technique will also determine the effect. More water lightens the color and is more translucent, and less water to paint ratio will make the colors more intense with less translucency. I'm actually about to upload a new watercolor tutorial today or tomorrow. Hope that helps.
So glad to find your channel. Thank you for sharing your talent. I tried this and it’s not too bad. Started painting watercolour recently and love it. I’ve painted about thirty or so projects and I can see an improvement.
How wonderful of you to be so generous with your knowledge and how grateful am I. Never have I watched a tutorial that inspires...couldn't wait to hit that subscribe button.
Hi Susan, wow, what an encouraging tutorial - I love it! I tried it and wound up with a piece I liked a lot, and that inspired me to do a little companion piece that I also like! Wish I could show you!
I did look for a Bob Ross while at Jerry's Artarama this week. Sadly they didn't have one, but they had a huge Bob Ross display! I love living in the same area as Jerry's Home Office and in the state where Cheap Joe's does business!
I just subscribed to your channel as I was absolutely blown away with the impressionistic, spontaneous quality of your watercolor painting, the gorgeous way the colors blended creating an ethereal quality to your work, and the great instruction you offered us as well as your encouraging words! ❤ Thank you!😁
I watched your tutorial and it has inspired me to start painting again thank you so much. Wish I could share what I painted, I'm so happy, thanks to people like you that share their amazing talent. Thanks again. 🥰
lovely tutorial, thanks, the perfect inspiration I needed to pick up a brush. If folks want to save, display, or gift their pink paintings they may want to chose “Permanent Alizarin Crimson” which is also available by M.Graham instead of the fugitive alizarin crimson you use. If the plan is to scan and copy the painting to keep or gift then fugitive paints will not be an issue. I don’t use fugitive paints just in case I somehow create a painting worthy of display or gifting. My end product is always a surprise!
@@traekas7228 sure. the paint fades. Some wonderful paintings by the masters no longer have the same colors as when they were painted. Fugitive colors are fine if you plan on scanning the painting with the intent of saving the print and not the original painting. Some fugitive paints fade in sunlight, some just in daylight, but some fade just with age even if stored in a dark location. If you plan on saving or gifting a work of art you would want to be certain the paints you use are not fugitive.That info is available on the label as well as from the company that produces it.
I just found and subscribed to your channel - love the beautiful loose style of these watercolour poppies! Scrolling through your list of videos I see many pastel videos, not so many watercolour ones- does that mean I “need” to explore another art medium? 😉 💕 Looking forward to watching and learning from many more of your videos!
So happy you are enjoying my lessons Lucille. I have mostly pastel tutorials but also love watercolor. I do plan to add more watercolor tutorials soon. So I hope you keep learning and having fun!
I’ve only just found your channel and I’m so pleased I have. This was a beautiful demo and I am definitely going to give it a go as I’m really trying hard to lighten-up. I have subscribed and really look forward to more videos.
Thank you very much Susan for these beautiful poppies in this video .You are an inspiration and I’m about to start one.Going to send it to my sister will take some times to get there. (From Australia to Sweden) Should I varnish the painting?If yes with what? What would be the best way to send a water colour painting in a cylinder ?Thank you again ,going to watch all your videos.❤️
Your colors are so alive, so warm and invites you to dip your head to find the scent of these poppies. Just beautiful! I'd like to see you do one in a mini version. I'm currently building a dollhouse, and I think that one or two of these little mini poppies in the pink palette look beautiful in the bathroom. Do you sell your paintings?
Everyone remember that Poppies are generally red and/or orange. No pink poppies, that I know of. Sorry, Susan. Glad I found your channel ! Edit: Susan. Can you please do a tutorial for painting Nasturtiums? I’ve done an Acrylic painting of some Nasturtiums, which came out okay. But I have a number of sketches of the flowers done from an old friend’s garden, and other places. Sketches are pretty good. I got interested in that particular flower from drawing from a photo by Ansel Adams of one in full bloom.
Thanks for your feedback… I guess I was using my artistic license. And I like your suggestion about painting Nasturtiums! I’m going to have to try that.
@@monetcafe Not a worry. I love ❤️ watching your works in progress! My painting, starring the B&W Ansel Adam’s photograph, I first painted the Nasturtium PINK! 🤣! Once I realized through research & sketching live, that I was mistaken,…I just adjusted the colors from pinks to yellows, oranges, reds, and added to the painting. It’s better, imo. Even artistic mistakes to one Artist, like the one I made, are just plain awesomeness to others. 🤗👍
Yes, I found him on Amazon but they don’t have this exact one available anymore. I just loved his style of teaching and I like to think that I emulate his relaxed style and love of nature.
I have always felt that art should be mandatory for every grade. It’s fun. It helps with creative thinking in everyday problems. It teaches us to find beauty in just about everything and everyone. Art teaches us that we, and everything around us, is a miracle.

Toothpaste and a little elbow grease will clean the pigment from a plastic palette FYI.

Hi Susan
A little tip to clean a plastic palette. Use olive oil....it's magic
Wow... that's awesome! Thank you Keller!
A magic eraser works well to clean a plastic palette. Rinse the palette well after cleaning with the eraser and dry it with a paper towel.
Wish I knew which Princeton brush you are using. A Heritage or Velvetouth! Both have red handles.
