I love how you teach. You break everything down and explain in detail what we need to do. And…I just love that there is a new video every day for me to do. It’s like going to art school! Thank you for all your hard work Debbie. It means the world to me. ❤️❤️❤️😘
You are so welcome! Thank you Marian, you are always so thankful and I appreciate it. I had no idea what I was getting into with TH-cam, its been a fun adventure for sure. Ive learned so much, and love all of my subscribers like you. Who knew we would be here 5.5 months later? I hope you are getting to do s ome painting my friend. xo
I was finally able to watch the entire video, Sunday stuff always seems to last forever!!. I am now in my quiet space and going to give this a go. It’s so beautiful I can’t put it off. Cross your fingers for me y’all. 🙏🏼♥️

@@Reeflections Thank you, I’m so happy that what I have loved and been obsessed with for years, is helpful for others.. and brings enjoyment:) Happy painting!
This is a beautiful technique! I have been taught a different way to create outlines such as these, but in a much more complicated way. Thank you, Debbie, for always teaching in such a calm, sweet way. I just bet your friends treasure you.
You are so sweet Angie, I am so happy I was able to share a different way of diong this. I somewhat have picked up these techniques over the decades and pretty sure I give them my own terms, language and spin on old techniques :-) Happy painting!
This flower is so beautiful that I had to paint one too. It’s so lovely. PS the music you play with your shorts is the best of the best. Love it every time.
Thanks so much 😊 I am so happy this was helpful for you. Thanks for painting with me! So fun to create all kinds osf different color combinations too. Enjoy xo
Good morning Normul, I love leaving little areas of white space in my paintings as often as I can, it creates such interest doesnt it. Have fun, transparent flowers are unique! Happy painting!
Just came across your video quite by accident but decided to watch it. I am so glad I did! I really enjoyed watching this, and hearing your teachings, step-by-step. I subscribed!!
Wonderful, this is a fun technique, over the years Ive painted lots of fun florals with this technique. I cant wait for you to play with it. Happy creating, have fun!
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy hi Debbie,, I'm doubly sorry now lol, I posted a comment but spelt your name wrong, couldn't edit so sent a quick apology, but now it just looks like I'm mad. 🤦🏼♀️😊 just wanted to say I'm obsessed with your painting styles and tutorials, absolutely amazing - thank you from UK 🇬🇧🥰
@@guyfawkes4518 oh! Well, I never saw my name misspelled, so no worries and I’m so glad you’re having fun with my paintings and they are helpful for you. I will continue to share all I know and help support you and your wonderful, watercolor journey. Happy painting friend.
Thank you very much! Layering and this transparency technique are always fun~ I hope you will give it a try. Happy painting friend. M ost of all have fun
Thank you Gail, this is such a beautiful technique isn't it. Ive been painting for decades and always fun to see how certain techniques stick around for centuries., become new again, refererred to with different labels, and names~. I Hope you give this a try, it a wonderful way to play with the magic that watercolors offer. happy painting friend.
My pleasure 😊 Thank you that means a lot, I teach how I learned best and made sense to me. I Hope you give these little transparent flowers a try, they are so fun~ Happy painting friend.
Thank You! Im glad you are enjoying my videos, and wel done TH-cam for recomending what you like! I never know where people come from, (so MANY brilliant artists on here) I hope to continue to inspire you and share all I know! Happy painting friend.
My pleasure for sure. I bet you are better than you think.:) I LOVE working with beginners and showing them the techniques and seeing you get excited at what you create! Keep oravticing developing that muscle memory and you will amaze yourself! Did you see my beginners playlist? It may help to start there :) happy painting and most of all have funn 🎨🌸🖌️
Terrific, that is what I am always hoping for, that I can not only inspire you but break it down so it easy simpler to understand and "approachable" "doable" not intimidating~ Have fun, this is a beautiful technique that looks advanced . Truly if I can do this, I am confident you can too. Have fun Majcik, cant wait to see you in class the 26th!
Welcome Thank you for your support Im so happy my paintings are inspiring you and sharing the beauty and magic I so love about watercolors. Happy painting!
Wonderful! I love hearing that you have done it a few times. I do many paintings several tim es and its always learning, and I experiment with different colors, values, So fun! Happy painting!
Great tutorial on flowers! Often do several layers and this way (keep the paint thicker) and use the water to blend it out. Still working on the leaves and working faster! Ty!
Terrific! Yes, thats a great technique. Always find what feels natural for you, and works! I typically find most techniques by accident over these decades of painting, and some as this one has just stuck and I use almost in every painting I do. Have fun! happy painting friend
Wodnerful, I always find watching watercolor artists is so peaceful and relaxing too. I Hope you give them a try. They are so fun to paint, and beautiful. Most of all enjoy and have fun.
Your tutorials are wonderful. I only recently found your channel and am thrilled! I also just received my Artisto sketchbook and you are right, they are fabulous!!!! Thanks for sharing your expertise💗
Wonderful! They have the most beautiful trexture dont they. Im so happy you are here, and I hope to continue to share all I know for you~ Happy painting, and welcome
Great! IM so glad to hear that, they are so fun arent they? I think they would be really pretty in Prussian Blue (Winsor Newton) Happy painting friend!
Glad to hear it! I try to do my best to break it down, simplify it in ways that are digestable. Im thrilled my teaching style resonates for you. Happy creating friend!
Thank you so much 😀 I do teach in person although I am in Southern California. I also do a few private Zoom calls if that is something that would interest you. This is such a fun little technique and somewhat sim ple when you get the hang of it. Keep practicing, develope that muscle memory and before you know it you will be painting all kinds of beauty. Here is the beginner playlist I Created it may help too. Happy painting friend! ytube.io/3kWy
You are so welcome! It is a work in progress like all I have started here the last 5.5 months. Tech, writing an ebook, (turning 60!) wow, Thanks for your good words. Been a huge learning curve and coudlnt do it without you all~ Happy painting friend.
Please do! Learning to leve white spaces is a big one. It will take your paintings from a beginner level to mid level. Once you practiceit enough times it will come naturally~ I keep planning to do a tutorial on leaving white space with how I use the technique. Thanks for the reminder. Meanwhile happy painting frend.!
Приятно и поздравляю! Я надеюсь и дальше вдохновлять вас и делиться всем, что знаю~ Приятного рисования, друг, продолжайте тренироваться, развивайте мышечную память и, самое главное, получайте удовольствие!
My pleasure Indeed I’m so glad you’re enjoying these and I think this would also be so beautiful in a pression blue! Happy pay team, friend, and most of all have fun
. Thank you I do recieve 3% I can add up and helps me buy supplies. Thank you. I appreciate you using my link. I think you will love them. I just recently started using the larger sheets 9 x 12 and they are absolutely wonderful as well. ! Happy painting friend
J adoooore vos aquarelles et elles me donnent tellement de dynamisme . J essaie avec plaisir de faire des fleurs en suivant vos vidéos...mais je ne parle pas beaucoup anglais et vos explications me manquent énormément 😢. Si cela pouvait être traduit en français..le bonheur pour moi et quelques aquarellistes avec lesquelles nous faisons de notre mieux pour vous suivre 😮😊 Pouvez vous nous faire quelques vidéos en français ????😉😊 Un grand merci 😊
Je suis tellement contente que vous appréciiez mes vidéos. Mon mari m'aidait avec ça, et quelque chose s'est produit et il n'a pas pu accéder à mes dernières vidéos. ~ Je suis tellement heureux que vous l'ayez mentionné et nous ajouterons à nouveau les traductions françaises et 8 autres langues. Merci pour vos commentaires, je suis tellement heureux d'entendre que les traductions sont utiles. Joyeux ami peintre. On s'en occupe! J'espère pouvoir un jour venir dans votre région et animer un atelier ! Quel rêve ce serait. xo xoxo
I just found your channel, this video was recommended in my feed. I don’t typically comment on the first video I watch of someone. But I just had to tell you how much I enjoyed and appreciate your teaching style!! It was straight forward, easy to follow, not too fast & not too slow, recommendation of products without trying to sell me anything, etc. I’m extremely new to watercolors and honestly only started as something to try out and to use in various ways to incorporate into my Junk Journals I create. Therefore, I have cheap paints, brushes that aren’t quite “watercolor” brushes, and rather cheap paper too. However, I enjoy it far more than I initially expected and find it therapeutic, regardless of the fact I have no idea what I’m doing. 😆 Now I’m wanting to learn & absorb as much as possible and this video was extremely helpful! One question for you, being such a newbie at watercolors and I’m on an extremely fixed low budget, do you recommend I stick with my supplies for now and invest when my skills have progressed? Or should I maybe start with buying few good brushes and stick with my current paints and papers? Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I’m always hearing other Artists say that the supplies are important (especially the paper and brushes) even for beginners and I can definitely see that I need better paints and brushes. Thank you so much for your time and sharing your wonderful gift with us! ❤😘
Im so glad that you found me too! And, my teaching st yle is working for you. I have been obsessed with watercolors for 50+ years its all I know. Love that you are giving them a go! I would definately buy one brush, a good one, a princeton round 8, it is a basic brush not too expensive and will last for years if taken care of (protect that tip) And then a decent paper, I have tried SO MANY over the years for my workshops and students, as you hear me talk about I Love the Artisto pads, they are thick, great texture, and hold up to water pretty well. The apints would be the last thing I invest in. Again, you most likely hear me talk about the MieLiangs, which I personally paint with daily because I cannot afford to paint with WN daily. Do lots of wamr ups, brushstroke practice daily or as much as you have time for. You will begin to develop the msucle memory and moreconfiednce, practice the washes and watercontrol, which comes with familiarity and just an ability to feel it through practice. If you go to my playlists you will see lots of tutorials on these things, I cant say enough how these practices will help you and in no time you will be better and better! Im so happy to have you here. Happy painting friend! Let me know if I can help with anything.
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy THANK YOU SO MUCH for the detailed response and recommendations! I actually just watched another one of your videos and then went to look at your playlists. And saved your “Beginner” series to my “Watch Later” & “Watercolor” playlists to watch when I’m feeling better and more attentive. I also used to the links you provided in your description of the 1st video I watched and saved them to my wishlist &/or added them to my cart. You’ve been incredibly helpful and I just love you already! Lol 😆 🥰 Have a blessed weekend! 😊
I have recently been diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease and decided to take up watercolour painting. I love your tutorials but have a bit of difficulty with the drawings, I'm not very good at drawing anyway. I am going to attempt this later today.
Hi Debra, WELCOME~ what a wonderful treat to take up watercolor painting. We had a good friend diagnosed with Parkinsons Diseas. Im so sorry how hard that must have been hard to hear . I wish you healing, and I Hope my tutorials can offer a place to come to to enjoy, smile and play. YOu can email me dear and I will send you the drawing you can trace with carbon paper if you like. DebbieWalkerArt@gmail.com Happy painting and Im honored to have you here with me
So beautiful! Thanks for this great instruction, Debbie. I'm not real confident in sketching yet as I'm still a beginner. You mentioned we could request a sketch of this drawing. I would very much like to have access to that. Thank you so much❤
Hi Karen, im glad you enjoyed this. YOu might take a peek at my drawing, sketching Playlist too and possible find some helpful hints there. th-cam.com/play/PLGvRyB1lQxymi2WQCfDJjFF3J9oE7KSdS.html&si=ZIx2CC44L-W3928t You can email me DebbieWalkerArt @gmail.com and I am happy to share the drawing with you. I hoe you give it a try! Happy painting friend, most of all have fun xo
Right?! it definitely takes some Mindfulness to remember it doesn’t it? Make yourself a note you’ll get there now I just do it intuitively! have fun and happy painting. 🌸🎨
Me too! I will be relaxing and paint a section then ..... Oh noooo! No no no ! It's a done deal thing! I have to remember, in my senior moment brain of mine , to leave. the. white spaces. Lol!
Just found you last week Debbie! Thanks for everything and also the sweet and helpful document as it is VERY helpful! Can you paint a painsy for me? i am trying to learn and teach my lil sis to. I am very sick and you realy relax me! Blessings and hugs!
Hi Grace, You are so very welcome. Here is my tutorial I did not too long ago on a pansy. They are so cute arent they (they remind me of the animated move "Alice in Wonderland" And the pansies have little faces. Anyway, here you are my friend my pansy tutorial, th-cam.com/video/x3NnbMbWSDk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tqmYoUpgox_MCnNx Your words mean the world to me, as one of the reasons I love teaching and sharing watercolors is for their beautiful soft, flowing and relaxing feel. Happy painting my friend. Blessing to you You made my evening
Wow 😍 this is divine Deb~ and I can look at the petals in a couple different ways too! Like the ones in front are darker which makes sense to me. Then I can look at it again and the pedals somehow look like they are folding in or out ! Am I seeing that right? If not, then yay for me cuz that's what I see ! Awesome! Thank you showing us this technique and how to do this~ I don't have a mop brush yet! I've been looking and researching on a good one that's multi use! I want to be able to do other things with the brush too. I don't even know what a all-around size to get. It's like I've noticed different companies have , for example, a size 8 .... and they don't look the same size. Or even near the same size close to one another! I don't get it lol! Reminds me of clothing sizes from different manufacturers 😂 BTW, I've used so much greenery colors that my Mei Lange palette in the sap and olive green has gotten way down in the pans 😂 So funny how I've used those to death. 😜 🤣🎨 I'd be scraping the bottom pretty soon! Lol Thanks teach ❤️✝️🙏🏻
Hi! First, the greens in your MielLiang palette~ Mine too! and my yellows almost gone. Second, yes brushes are completely different depending on the manufacturer, so strange isnt it. Why can't a round 8 be the same across the board?? The mop brush I really dont use a lot, its a great brush though for washes, backgrounds, water and really wet on wet techniques. I typically will use my Princeton Neptune series, 12 round, its quite large and can soak up and lay down loads of water. (I dont usually use the Netpune because it is so soft and soaks up so much water!) Princeton Neptune 12 round amzn.to/3EcFKVo Lastly, I love that you see different things when you look at the painting. Thats what I love to hear. If you paint somewhat loose, leave interesting white spaces, everyone fills in those areas with their own imagination. Ive paintind pieces before and had them hanging in a studio or boutique, and people will all have their own thought about what I painted, the mood, what I intended. I love it. Happy painting, I hope you give this one a try., these transluscent petals are always fun~
Oh my gosh this was so fun!! Thank you so very much. My flower turned out great. It didnt look like a muddy blob lol When is your hummingbird tutorial?
Wonderful, such a fun technique, isnt it. I have a couple humming bird tutorials, I also had a semiprivate course last month. Here are the tutorials for you :-) Enjoy th-cam.com/video/HJLdMj6L_0A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=E3U7OAPgZxhpY3Io and.. (this one just adding metallics) th-cam.com/video/FfcYm28BiPY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XXE4owr0H1b6HVCt I hope this helps~
I didn’t create a drawing for this one because it was a bit simpler. If you would like, I can sketch it out and send to you. My email is Debbiewalkerart@gmail.com
I use a pearlwing typically because i like the size and eraser for drawing Pearl wing pencil amzn.to/3OVHpDP Kneaded eraser amzn.to/3QXnabn I also use a kneaded eraser to go over my entire pencil I will send you this drawing free, if you email me at debbiewalkerart@gmail.com or the little 5.00 companion kit. bityl.co/Kovz I tend to draw a bit darker for the tutorials so you can see the lines. (although this one was indeed a bit lighter) I hope that helps. Have fun!
Good morning the Meeden paper is 100% cotton the Artisto it’s not but shockingly (and I’ve used so many) Artisto is a wonderful quality student grade paper, very thick and textured and what I using on my workshops now. I love their paper and it’s what I predominantly paint on. I would say the MieLiang is a student grade, although for myself, they are a fabulous creamy vibrant pigment. I love them. It’s what I paint on daily. If I’m doing something professionally, I would use my Winsor newton’s.
I somewhat just painted to play with no real particular flower in mind. Although poppies are everywhere here in Spring early summer, and Inlove painting them. So they were largely inspiring this . Thanks for asking 🎨🌸
I use a few, my favorite is the Blackwing with a replaceable eraser otherwise I end up with lots of pencils and no eraser. amzn.to/3RSMe2Y I also use a kneaded eraser for lightening all of the lines on my drawing a larger area. amzn.to/3RWMwWD Both great and last a long time! I hope that helps, you can also see all of my supplies in my Amazon shop. Happy painting friend, amz.run/7TFF
Hi! This is the Artisto paper, I paint so much daily, I cannot afford to paint with Arches daily. I have tried so many student grade paints and found this one to be the best quality, I also use in my workshops. I hope you give them a try, (Im not affiliated with them) Artisto pads amzn.to/3N6RcaP Artisto 9x12 amzn.to/3Ep3JAY Happy painting!
I have been trying to send you an email but when I go to your website it comes up with something called WIX and says it is not avaliable. How can I send you an email? I'm nor sure what happened. something has changed on your home page. Hugs Ann
oh no :-( I am working on my website, so it is i"In construction" as the refer to it. But, here is a direct email for you Ann :-) DebbieWalkerArt@gmail.com I will keep my eye open hugs
Its not easy, but I hope to always be able to always be able to connect with my subscribers as its really important to me. I do miss responses (like yours here) Im somewhat new here still, and dont see them for some reason, I have to go searching for them. Anyway, OFf to work now for me, and then hopefully make a new video for you all. Thank you for being here~ Happy painting friend.
Wonderful! How lucky you are to have a blick store near you! These would be so pretty in blues, golds, have fun and happy painting friend! You can share on my private fb page for my TH-cam subscribers if you like too! fbook.cc/4fsz
Love the technique and end result for the petals. Only disappointed in the choice of paints… I can’t morally or ethically purchase products from countries which abuse human right when there are so so many alternatives and very affordable alternative. I’m now focusing on Rósa Gallery (Ukraine), Roman Szmal (Poland) and occasionally Daniel Smith (USA) and refuse to purchase Paul Rubens, Meeden, Meiliang, Bauhong, White Night (russian) products etc. Even Windsor & Newton Cotman paints are now manufactured in China apparently but having used quality Rósa Gallery & Roman Szmal professional paints for some time now, I wouldn’t waste my time or money on W&N now regardless of budget or origin. Definitely wouldn’t recommend them for beginners.
Thank you for your thoughts always good for everyone to have all the information so they can make choices that are best for them. Happy painting Friend

Thank you so much 😀 I do teach in person although I am in Southern California. I also do a few private Zoom calls if that is something that would interest you. This is such a fun little technique and somewhat sim ple when you get the hang of it. Keep practicing, develope that muscle memory and before you know it you will be painting all kinds of beauty. Here is the beginner playlist I Created it may help too. Happy painting friend! ytube.io/3kWy
NICE!!! Thank you
I just saw the ebook you have made. Thank you for all that you are thinking of for us.
You are so welcome! It is a work in progress like all I have started here the last 5.5 months. Tech, writing an ebook, (turning 60!) wow, Thanks for your good words. Been a huge learning curve and coudlnt do it without you all~ Happy painting friend.
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy 🎂 Happy Birthday! You are doing a wonderful job in my eyes. 🤩
@@tammyfowler6416 Thank you, it surely is keeping me young!
Love love ❤️
I’m so glad I too love this one and you could do so many of these beautiful little flowers and all different colors
I also forget the white spaces! I have to try this technique…that flower is beautiful.
Please do! Learning to leve white spaces is a big one. It will take your paintings from a beginner level to mid level. Once you practiceit enough times it will come naturally~ I keep planning to do a tutorial on leaving white space with how I use the technique. Thanks for the reminder. Meanwhile happy painting frend.!
Beautiful
Thank you, I hope you give this technique a try, its awfully fun~
Love this thank you!
My pleasure Tina I’m glad you enjoyed it. Such a fun easy little technique.! Happy Painting🌸

I think you will love them. I just recently started using the larger sheets 9 x 12 and they are absolutely wonderful as well. ! Happy painting friend
J adoooore vos aquarelles et elles me donnent tellement de dynamisme . J essaie avec plaisir de faire des fleurs en suivant vos vidéos...mais je ne parle pas beaucoup anglais et vos explications me manquent énormément 😢. Si cela pouvait être traduit en français..le bonheur pour moi et quelques aquarellistes avec lesquelles nous faisons de notre mieux pour vous suivre 😮😊
Pouvez vous nous faire quelques vidéos en français ????😉😊
Un grand merci 😊
Je suis tellement contente que vous appréciiez mes vidéos. Mon mari m'aidait avec ça, et quelque chose s'est produit et il n'a pas pu accéder à mes dernières vidéos.
~ Je suis tellement heureux que vous l'ayez mentionné et nous ajouterons à nouveau les traductions françaises et 8 autres langues. Merci pour vos commentaires, je suis tellement heureux d'entendre que les traductions sont utiles. Joyeux ami peintre. On s'en occupe! J'espère pouvoir un jour venir dans votre région et animer un atelier ! Quel rêve ce serait. xo xoxo

Merci beaucoup !
Et bien sûr ce serait avec plaisir de faire une rencontre
Joyeux ami peintre !
I just found your channel, this video was recommended in my feed. I don’t typically comment on the first video I watch of someone. But I just had to tell you how much I enjoyed and appreciate your teaching style!! It was straight forward, easy to follow, not too fast & not too slow, recommendation of products without trying to sell me anything, etc. I’m extremely new to watercolors and honestly only started as something to try out and to use in various ways to incorporate into my Junk Journals I create. Therefore, I have cheap paints, brushes that aren’t quite “watercolor” brushes, and rather cheap paper too. However, I enjoy it far more than I initially expected and find it therapeutic, regardless of the fact I have no idea what I’m doing. 😆 Now I’m wanting to learn & absorb as much as possible and this video was extremely helpful! One question for you, being such a newbie at watercolors and I’m on an extremely fixed low budget, do you recommend I stick with my supplies for now and invest when my skills have progressed? Or should I maybe start with buying few good brushes and stick with my current paints and papers? Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated! I’m always hearing other Artists say that the supplies are important (especially the paper and brushes) even for beginners and I can definitely see that I need better paints and brushes. Thank you so much for your time and sharing your wonderful gift with us! ❤😘
Im so glad that you found me too! And, my teaching st yle is working for you. I have been obsessed with watercolors for 50+ years its all I know. Love that you are giving them a go! I would definately buy one brush, a good one, a princeton round 8, it is a basic brush not too expensive and will last for years if taken care of (protect that tip) And then a decent paper, I have tried SO MANY over the years for my workshops and students, as you hear me talk about I Love the Artisto pads, they are thick, great texture, and hold up to water pretty well. The apints would be the last thing I invest in. Again, you most likely hear me talk about the MieLiangs, which I personally paint with daily because I cannot afford to paint with WN daily. Do lots of wamr ups, brushstroke practice daily or as much as you have time for. You will begin to develop the msucle memory and moreconfiednce, practice the washes and watercontrol, which comes with familiarity and just an ability to feel it through practice. If you go to my playlists you will see lots of tutorials on these things, I cant say enough how these practices will help you and in no time you will be better and better! Im so happy to have you here. Happy painting friend! Let me know if I can help with anything.
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy THANK YOU SO MUCH for the detailed response and recommendations! I actually just watched another one of your videos and then went to look at your playlists. And saved your “Beginner” series to my “Watch Later” & “Watercolor” playlists to watch when I’m feeling better and more attentive. I also used to the links you provided in your description of the 1st video I watched and saved them to my wishlist &/or added them to my cart. You’ve been incredibly helpful and I just love you already! Lol 😆 🥰 Have a blessed weekend! 😊
YOu made my day Lida, im so happy I Could help. Happy painting friend, first and formemost enjoy that is where the beauty and joy will come from
Brilliant ❤️🦋
Lots of versions of this beautiful affect. This one was the easiest for me. I hope you give it a try it so much fun, happy painting friend.! 🎨🌸🖌️
I have recently been diagnosed with Parkinsons Disease and decided to take up watercolour painting. I love your tutorials but have a bit of difficulty with the drawings, I'm not very good at drawing anyway. I am going to attempt this later today.
Hi Debra, WELCOME~ what a wonderful treat to take up watercolor painting. We had a good friend diagnosed with Parkinsons Diseas. Im so sorry how hard that must have been hard to hear . I wish you healing, and I Hope my tutorials can offer a place to come to to enjoy, smile and play. YOu can email me dear and I will send you the drawing you can trace with carbon paper if you like. DebbieWalkerArt@gmail.com Happy painting and Im honored to have you here with me
So beautiful! Thanks for this great instruction, Debbie. I'm not real confident in sketching yet as I'm still a beginner. You mentioned we could request a sketch of this drawing. I would very much like to have access to that. Thank you so much❤
Hi Karen, im glad you enjoyed this. YOu might take a peek at my drawing, sketching Playlist too and possible find some helpful hints there. th-cam.com/play/PLGvRyB1lQxymi2WQCfDJjFF3J9oE7KSdS.html&si=ZIx2CC44L-W3928t
You can email me DebbieWalkerArt @gmail.com and I am happy to share the drawing with you. I hoe you give it a try! Happy painting friend, most of all have fun xo
I always find myself forgetting about the white spaces! What a struggle!!😊
Right?! it definitely takes some Mindfulness to remember it doesn’t it? Make yourself a note you’ll get there now I just do it intuitively! have fun and happy painting. 🌸🎨
Me too! I will be relaxing and paint a section then ..... Oh noooo! No no no ! It's a done deal thing! I have to remember, in my senior moment brain of mine , to leave. the. white spaces. Lol!
@@Reeflections 😂
@@Reeflections that senior moment brain must be it!😂 Thanks for relating. It's good to know I'm not the only one! 😀
Just found you last week Debbie! Thanks for everything and also the sweet and helpful document as it is VERY helpful! Can you paint a painsy for me? i am trying to learn and teach my lil sis to. I am very sick and you realy relax me! Blessings and hugs!
Hi Grace, You are so very welcome. Here is my tutorial I did not too long ago on a pansy. They are so cute arent they (they remind me of the animated move "Alice in Wonderland" And the pansies have little faces. Anyway, here you are my friend my pansy tutorial, th-cam.com/video/x3NnbMbWSDk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tqmYoUpgox_MCnNx
Your words mean the world to me, as one of the reasons I love teaching and sharing watercolors is for their beautiful soft, flowing and relaxing feel. Happy painting my friend. Blessing to you You made my evening
Wow 😍 this is divine Deb~ and I can look at the petals in a couple different ways too! Like the ones in front are darker which makes sense to me. Then I can look at it again and the pedals somehow look like they are folding in or out ! Am I seeing that right? If not, then yay for me cuz that's what I see ! Awesome! Thank you showing us this technique and how to do this~
I don't have a mop brush yet! I've been looking and researching on a good one that's multi use! I want to be able to do other things with the brush too. I don't even know what a all-around size to get. It's like I've noticed different companies have , for example, a size 8 .... and they don't look the same size. Or even near the same size close to one another! I don't get it lol! Reminds me of clothing sizes from different manufacturers 😂
BTW, I've used so much greenery colors that my Mei Lange palette in the sap and olive green has gotten way down in the pans 😂 So funny how I've used those to death. 😜 🤣🎨 I'd be scraping the bottom pretty soon! Lol
Thanks teach ❤️✝️🙏🏻
Hi! First, the greens in your MielLiang palette~ Mine too! and my yellows almost gone. Second, yes brushes are completely different depending on the manufacturer, so strange isnt it. Why can't a round 8 be the same across the board?? The mop brush I really dont use a lot, its a great brush though for washes, backgrounds, water and really wet on wet techniques. I typically will use my Princeton Neptune series, 12 round, its quite large and can soak up and lay down loads of water. (I dont usually use the Netpune because it is so soft and soaks up so much water!) Princeton Neptune 12 round

Lastly, I love that you see different things when you look at the painting. Thats what I love to hear. If you paint somewhat loose, leave interesting white spaces, everyone fills in those areas with their own imagination. Ive paintind pieces before and had them hanging in a studio or boutique, and people will all have their own thought about what I painted, the mood, what I intended. I love it. Happy painting, I hope you give this one a try., these transluscent petals are always fun~
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy thank you Debbie ~ you are amazing 🖌️🎨
I’m drawn to the colors in view on your palette!! They’re beautiful. Are those granulating colors?
I have Winsor Newton so some of them are granulating such as the reds and blues :-) They are quite beautiful arent they :-) Happy painting friend.
Oh my gosh this was so fun!! Thank you so very much. My flower turned out great. It didnt look like a muddy blob lol
When is your hummingbird tutorial?
Wonderful, such a fun technique, isnt it. I have a couple humming bird tutorials, I also had a semiprivate course last month. Here are the tutorials for you :-) Enjoy th-cam.com/video/HJLdMj6L_0A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=E3U7OAPgZxhpY3Io

Did you mean to link to the drawing you used? I don't see it.
I didn’t create a drawing for this one because it was a bit simpler. If you would like, I can sketch it out and send to you. My email is Debbiewalkerart@gmail.com
Can you send me a copy of that flower that you made for Beginners, Simple ad Qick little flowers? I love your technique!!!!!!
Good morning yes.. please email me at Debbiewalkerart@gmail.com
Happy painting I’m glad you like these 🌸
When you’re sketching your outline when not recording for us do you use a hard or soft pencil or hb , middle of road ?
I use a pearlwing typically because i like the size and eraser for drawing Pearl wing pencil amzn.to/3OVHpDP
Kneaded eraser amzn.to/3QXnabn
I also use a kneaded eraser to go over my entire pencil
I will send you this drawing free, if you email me at debbiewalkerart@gmail.com
or the little 5.00 companion kit. bityl.co/Kovz
I tend to draw a bit darker for the tutorials so you can see the lines. (although this one was indeed a bit lighter) I hope that helps. Have fun!
খুব সুন্দর
ধন্যবাদ!
Are the papers made of cotton? And are the Meilang paints considered student or artist grade?
Good morning the Meeden paper is 100% cotton the Artisto it’s not but shockingly (and I’ve used so many) Artisto is a wonderful quality student grade paper, very thick and textured and what I using on my workshops now. I love their paper and it’s what I predominantly paint on. I would say the MieLiang is a student grade, although for myself, they are a fabulous creamy vibrant pigment. I love them. It’s what I paint on daily. If I’m doing something professionally, I would use my Winsor newton’s.
Thank you for sharing this with us. What is the name of the flower you just painted?
I somewhat just painted to play with no real particular flower in mind. Although poppies are everywhere here in Spring early summer, and Inlove painting them. So they were largely inspiring this . Thanks for asking 🎨🌸
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy Okay thank you that helps a lot.
What pencil and eraser do you use?
I use a few, my favorite is the Blackwing with a replaceable eraser otherwise I end up with lots of pencils and no eraser. amzn.to/3RSMe2Y
I also use a kneaded eraser for lightening all of the lines on my drawing a larger area. amzn.to/3RWMwWD
Both great and last a long time!
I hope that helps, you can also see all of my supplies in my Amazon shop. Happy painting friend,

“Gorgeous” if I do say so myself. You are a good teacher however.
Thank you, I hope you give these a try, they are quite fun! Happy painting friend 🎨🌸🖌️
What was that paper?
You turned the pages so fast I missed it😮
Hi! This is the Artisto paper, I paint so much daily, I cannot afford to paint with Arches daily. I have tried so many student grade paints and found this one to be the best quality, I also use in my workshops. I hope you give them a try, (Im not affiliated with them) Artisto pads amzn.to/3N6RcaP
Artisto 9x12 amzn.to/3Ep3JAY
Happy painting!
Very difficult to see drawling so wait til she paints flower then watch how artist goes about her demo!
I have been trying to send you an email but when I go to your website it comes up with something called WIX and says it is not avaliable. How can I send you an email? I'm nor sure what happened. something has changed on your home page. Hugs Ann
oh no :-( I am working on my website, so it is i"In construction" as the refer to it. But, here is a direct email for you Ann :-) DebbieWalkerArt@gmail.com I will keep my eye open hugs
Are all your responses automatically sent out?😊
None I answer all of them personally.
Why do you ask?
My bad Debbie, I apologize. Love your work where do you find time?
Its not easy, but I hope to always be able to always be able to connect with my subscribers as its really important to me. I do miss responses (like yours here) Im somewhat new here still, and dont see them for some reason, I have to go searching for them. Anyway, OFf to work now for me, and then hopefully make a new video for you all. Thank you for being here~ Happy painting friend.
Wow, i just loved your tutorial. Headed to dick blick to get some supplies!!! I love watercolor!!
Wonderful! How lucky you are to have a blick store near you! These would be so pretty in blues, golds, have fun and happy painting friend! You can share on my private fb page for my TH-cam subscribers if you like too! fbook.cc/4fsz

Love the technique and end result for the petals. Only disappointed in the choice of paints… I can’t morally or ethically purchase products from countries which abuse human right when there are so so many alternatives and very affordable alternative. I’m now focusing on Rósa Gallery (Ukraine), Roman Szmal (Poland) and occasionally Daniel Smith (USA) and refuse to purchase Paul Rubens, Meeden, Meiliang, Bauhong, White Night (russian) products etc. Even Windsor & Newton Cotman paints are now manufactured in China apparently but having used quality Rósa Gallery & Roman Szmal professional paints for some time now, I wouldn’t waste my time or money on W&N now regardless of budget or origin. Definitely wouldn’t recommend them for beginners.
Thank you for your thoughts always good for everyone to have all the information so they can make choices that are best for them. Happy painting Friend
