Stunning. I love it. I'm going to try it. Water color is soooo hard for me. But saw you comment about 10 years of practice so I'll keep at it till it "clicks" for me too. Thank you for this vid!!
Thanks Cindy it really is easy. I Tried to break it down the way I would teaching a big painting. Watercolor isn't hard as long as you remember where ever there is water the paint will follow.
After viewing umpteen pointsettia videos, yours is the only one I want to actually try to execute (minus the embossing though). Beautiful work. Thank you!!
Rick, you are absolutely amazing!! I can't think of another painting of a poinsettia that comes close to yours. The Lord blessed you with awesome talent. Thank you so very much for sharing it with us. Be blessed, Rick.
Absolutely stunning! I have the Heartfelt Creations poinsettia stamps and dies that I'm using for my Christmas cards this year. I plan to paint the poinsettias and would love to use your poinsettia as an example to go by. I know there's no way mine will turn out nearly as good as yours, but I'm going to try! I love your channel. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
Rick, just came across this fabulous watercolor poinsettia that you made a few years ago. Wow! This is a gorgeous card!! Have you ever thought of showing some of your beautiful creations to Stampin’Up? Maybe they would ask you to design a stamp set. You certainly have the talent to do so. If they do not take you up on this, I suggest that you begin your own designs and sell them. Don’t waste your talent. If I had not come across this video, I may have never seen what you could do.
Rick, I loved your card! I am very late to the party, but if it still matters, I too really love hearing and watching you at normal speeds rather than thru music or fast speeds. I figure those who need speed can fast forward easily themselves. I like to hear the names of the paint colors as you use them and I like to see the paint strokes. Silence also does not bother me. People who need music in the background can easily put some on in their own space.
Beautiful! I didn't know you could emboss over regular stamping pad ink! I thought you had to use embossing ink pad so that is great news for me. I love learning something new from different artists without copywriting. I have both and I have many different colors of embossing powders also. You definitely got my mojo inspired as poinsettias are my favorite to create on my cards! Thank you for a great video💓
Shirlee Brindle thanks it's all about dry time and the paper. If it's to dry you get the hard lines that don't blend. It's just a matter of putting everything down at just the right time.
This the best poinsettia water color tutorial I have watched...great”sentiment”. Though the choice of music was very good it could have been toned down a tad. Love the painting. I’ll try but probably won’t get it right.
Learned so much watching you!! Beautiful. Could you please tell me what made you choose yellow as a surrounding colour? It looks great but I would never think to do that... Thanks again so much
Kate Lock thanks I went with yellow because I wanted to keep the card with a very warm feel. And based on color theory I knew that by using colors on the same side would create a great warm feel then by throwing in the green (which is the complementary color of red) would balance everything
@@RickAdkins Oooh! Thanks for that fantastic explanation :) I will learn me up some colour theory now - I think I have a colour wheel hanging around here somewhere lol
Kate Lock thanks I’m glad it was helpful. Your color wheel is your best friend and has a great amount of information on it especially for picking colors for cards and paintings
Nicole Faulkner and Rick sometimes Masonite can lift if it gets wet and can come up with the tape if it's not low tack tape, I prefer a smooth plywood about 1/2" or so thick so it gives me a few more options as far as working on a painting like rick did here....stunning Rick!!....or wet into wet that warrants a lot of water and I don't like to worry about lifting and bubbles from the Masonite that happened in the past.
I really enjoyed watching you paint but I was having a really hard time enjoying the video as a whole because of how loud the music was compared to your video. Try messing with the balance so the music is more background, not the focal point. there were times you were talkong and giving instruction and I could not hear you. Beautifully done painting though!
It just takes practice. I have been doing them for ten years. That was when it clicked. I had tried them before then and never could get them to work the way I wanted them too. I read and reread any books I could find on the subject, but never could get the hang of it. One day it just clicked and have never looked back.
This is beautiful! Thanks!
😊
Lovely cards.

Water colors seem to turn into a coloring bookish look. yours are very nice,
Shirlee Brindle thanks it's all about dry time and the paper. If it's to dry you get the hard lines that don't blend. It's just a matter of putting everything down at just the right time.
Stunning!! Done with love!
The actual flower of the plant are the tiny yellow insides, the red and green are leaves. Love your work.
This the best poinsettia water color tutorial I have watched...great”sentiment”.
Though the choice of music was very good it could have been toned down a tad.
Love the painting. I’ll try but probably won’t get it right.
TheJazzysgal you just have to keep trying the more you do the better you get at it.
Learned so much watching you!! Beautiful.

So beautiful. I've watched many times and hope I can paint it like you. You mentioned gllitter. Which one are you using. Thank you.
Thanks Ann such kind words
Hi Rick, What product did you use when you painted gold around the petal edges? You used a paintbrush and you said you were applying glitter.
MyShepherdLeadsMe this is what I used. I made my own gold Watercolors. th-cam.com/video/mGBIuJrAdXw/w-d-xo.html
Thank you that is very pretty paint.
What kind of board is your card taped to?
Nicole Faulkner it's taped to the back of a masonite panel / hard painting board
Nicole Faulkner and Rick sometimes Masonite can lift if it gets wet and can come up with the tape if it's not low tack tape, I prefer a smooth plywood about 1/2" or so thick so it gives me a few more options as far as working on a painting like rick did here....stunning Rick!!....or wet into wet that warrants a lot of water and I don't like to worry about lifting and bubbles from the Masonite that happened in the past.
Beautiful!! Looks so easy, but i know its not 😄 Merry Christmas !!
Karisma Heaven it does take practice but this is the easy way
like, like, like alot...
I really enjoyed watching you paint but I was having a really hard time enjoying the video as a whole because of how loud the music was compared to your video. Try messing with the balance so the music is more background, not the focal point. there were times you were talkong and giving instruction and I could not hear you. Beautifully done painting though!
Thanks Brittany for bringing that to my attention. I will fix that
I have done water colors..but clearly not as well as you. {or as quickly) I must need more practice lol.
It just takes practice. I have been doing them for ten years. That was when it clicked. I had tried them before then and never could get them to work the way I wanted them too. I read and reread any books I could find on the subject, but never could get the hang of it. One day it just clicked and have never looked back.
loved video but music was way to loud
Thanks
Great tutorial but I could have done without the loud music!!!
Liz Renwick Thanks it was the first time I had added music to a video. Back when I started recording in 2015. I’ve learned a few things since then
Beautiful!!!
Thank you!!
Beautiful!
Cathy Haynes thanks
Beautiful
