Join Sarah Cray as she teaches how to paint Monet's "Water Lilies" using watercolor! Claude Monet is known as the founder of the Impressionist style. He strove to imbue the emotion evoked from a landscape scene in his work. Monet used oils to paint his original, using his lily pond in his backyard in Giverny, France, as a reference. In this watercolor painting tutorial, learn how to use watercolor in layers to blend and build a gorgeous water lily landscape.

`Your painting will inform you as you go`. Well said, thank you for teaching with heart.
Perfect timing with this talk about finding your style!
Sarah, you are such a great teacher. I just love your enthusiasm, so contagious. But Keenan's additions are equally wonderful and the interaction between the two of you are priceless. It makes watching your videos incredibly fun while I'm learning so much. Thank you--both of you!
Totally, 100% agree with this comment!!
I always feel so motivated and uplifted after watching tutorials with Sarah ❤️
That is such a compliment, thank you.
I enjoy watching you and your explanations of how to layer, manage blooms, accept what happens, give yourself permission to play!
Thank you!
I love Monet's work.
That’s funny you mention his eye site. I’m painting along blurry eyed from cataract surgery, but still loving the journey. Thank you
Wishing that your healing goes well Kim.
If you have enough Monet, you will never be Baroque.
I love your passion Sarah Cray 💕
Another one to get back to! Love these!
You're like a ray of sunshine. I love you ♥️
Great lesson on watercolor values sited! I struggle with that. I visited the Cleveland Museum of Art a few years ago. They had a few of Monet's paintings. You knew immediately that you were in the presence of great art. I was so overwhelmed that I began to get emotional and even had tears in my eyes as I looked as Monet's Spring Flowers. He's my favorite artist!!
What a cool experience you got to have at the Cleveland Museum of Art!! How fun that you got to recreate your favorite artists masterpiece. Thanks for creating along with us!❤️
I love seeing your butcher tray when you’re finished. It’s also a work of art!
Sarah has a collection of butcher trays at her art desk in the office and they truly are a work of art. So, so beautiful!!
I love, love Monet also. Great work!
wonderful tutorial Sarah! this looks so good. And, I never thought of using a dry wash or mop brush to help blend your watercolors. I know you can use this for acrylics and oils... but, something new now to try with watercolor. Thank you!!
Woohoo!! We're so glad this is helpful, Joanne! Have fun painting.
Thank you !! Been wanting to paint this Monet painting. You explain the layering so simple and true to his work
I'm a history and art nerd so this video was amazing and very easy to follow!
Sarah, thank you for this series🥰
You are so welcome!
Dry brush to blend is a great tip!
Thanks for sharing❤❤
So happy to have this project. I love Monet also. I remember going to the MOMA in NYC and seeing the largest Waterlilies painting I had seen before. There are some smaller ones at the Smithsonian. But I also just feel so happy seeing his pictures!
What an incredible experience you got to have. That sounds so, so cool.
Oui, you said L’Orangerie very well Sarah!👍
Thank you!
Loved this tutorial so much
So happy you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this ! I love it. You made my day!
You are so welcome!
This is so beautiful ! I'm surely gonna try painting this 🥰
We hope you have the best time bringing your rendition of this project to life. Happy painting!
Thank you! I'm on day 6 of attempting Water lilies. Your tutorial was great. I loved all of the Monet information !
You're so welcome. We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed this tutorial video. We are so grateful we get to be part of your creative journey!
I I’ve this rendition of Monet. He’s one of my faves.
We're so glad you enjoyed this rendition.
Great tutorial. I found myself being too precise, so I took off my glasses, which made everything burry. It helped! 😁
Ohhhh that's a good idea. We're glad you enjoyed this tutorial, thanks for creating along with us!
I started learning with you in 2020 when i had an abundance of time being unemployed(the business I worked for shut down)- I even taught my grandkids, 7 and under. Then in 2021 I got a new job, moved to a new place and ended a relationship (all the biggies at once) and I stopped painting. Then I started a TH-cam channel doing mostly Randonautica- at lunchtime with my new new job.
Before I stopped painting, I had even sold a few paintings (for cheap) and did a custom teepee on a postcard. I really got into postcards-I sent you one(to the brick and mortar address) of jelly fish with haiku 😳🤣
Anyway, I remembered how much money I had invested into paint and brushes, and my grandkids were asking me if we could paint-
And now, I have even posted a couple of videos doing some watercolor- people seem to enjoy them, I got a few new subscribers out of my effort. so I think I will keep at it- I always recommend your channel-
So THANK YOU!
I sent another TH-cam channel, The Curio Show (a couple that also does Randonautica videos) a few of my paintings (the pick up truck with flowers and the cowboy boots- they live in TX, and they showed them on their channel--that was so sweet of them and exciting! And the gal is trying watercolor now!
So just a big THANK YOU! And now I crave to paint again. Its a part of me. Its so awesome!
Taking that break did not help me, lol, or my grandkids- we had to relearn, -for them that it is not like finger paint🤣
Trying that Barn Owl has been quite the challenge, 3X…. But I’m not giving up yet- its a bday gift for a coworker- in fact I got the cow and Christmas Buck for 2 other coworkers. Got my work cut out for me!
Thanks for all your hard work and bubbly attitude- sure helps all of us!
We feel truly honored and blessed that we got to be part of our creative journey. Thank you for painting alongside us and supporting our small business.❤️
Poor Keenan! I hope he feels better soon.
Thank you Baileigh! He is feeling much better now.
good
it is the best tape
Sarah, I love your tutorials! How can I subscribe to just getting your tutorials and so I can download outlines, etc.

Is it possible to erase pencil lines after you have finished painting(And it’s dry)? TIA!
Hi Brenda! Great question, unfortunately once you have painted on your lines they do not erase. Sarah advises sketching your lines lightly or using a watercolor pencil.
Which Water Lily Painting is this by Monet?
Maybe this is a dumb question but: Are the lilypads at the top supposed to be bigger than the ones at the bottom? If the bottom ones are closer to the viewer wouldn't they be bigger? Please explain?
If you are working on a forced perspective you would want to make the ones in the back smaller than those in the front. We opted to do a more straight on view.
@@LetsMakeArt Thanks for explaining!
I thought the same thing! But Monet's original is like this, too- larger on top, smaller on the bottom. Messes with my brain! ;)
@@elisabruxvoort2190 Glad I wasn't the only one confused by this. Lol!
great video... i tried but mine looked like a mess... i think i overdo every stroke
No worries at all, it's just paint and paper and if you're not loving the original one you painted you can always take a step back and see if it grows on you. Or, throw it away and start again. Remember practice isn't about perfection it's all about the progression.❤️
You were talking about the tape… my problem is that it rips my paper.
Not the tape you were talking about, now i need to get some- I was using painters tape - and I stuck it to my clothing over and over - and it still rips my paper. It sticks too well😂
So THANK YOU, for mentioning the tape you use.
~ Jalie
Hopefully it can help you Jalie!
What is the name of the tape?
What kind of tape did you say? So tired of getting bleeds!
Holbein Soft tape I think is what she said she uses 😊
Yes, Holbein Soft Tape. I went back and listened to it again. Great question!
Hi Debra! We're all huge fans of Holbein Soft Tape, and you can find both the 1/2" and the 3/4" here: www.letsmakeart.com/search?view=shop&q=holbein Thank you for tuning in!
I think Keenan is a ghost! We never see him! Lol
He makes an appearance in the Watercolor Holiday Card Making tutorials! AND he's dressed all festively!
