For thirty years I’ve been wetting my watercolor pans one drop at a time from a straw. In two seconds you just changed my work process. “Spray them down.” Thank you!
Hi Kristy, I wanted to tell you that I am sitting here with my "line" brush and I am just making lines, getting a feel for how much water and paint I need. I have cheap everything, paint, brushes, and paper, but I just made a beautiful eucalyptus spray, that I am quite proud of, for being a beginner. I love your style and your encouragement. I took an acrylic painting class and drawing class in college, and I loved them both. I have always loved to draw, so it was fun. I wish I had taken painting 2, because it was watercolor. Watercolor is an adventure for me and I am so happy I found your channel. You make it seem simple, and you take the stress off of my perfectionism, if that makes sense. I appreciate that more than you will ever know. I hate that part of me, being a perfectionist, especially, in my artwork. I am my biggest critic. I told my son that I hated being a perfectionist and he asked me why...he then proceeded to tell me all the good things about being a perfectionist. I had never really thought of it as a good thing, it was always negative, to me. Anyway, I want to thank you and tell you how much I appreciate you. I went through many years of depression and I felt good over the last few years, but it started creeping up on me again, and you have given me a little hope, not just through the painting, but through your encouraging words. ❤️🤗❤️ Thank you!!!
I have to say I usually don't see so many talented artists on TH-cam whose art I fully appreciate but yours is seriously amazing. Your pieces are very gorgeous
You are an awesome artist teacher! So glad I found you! Beautiful work! Can't wait to try! Battling a leg Injury 10 stitches, Venous Stasis, etc. And Much more! Caretaking elderly parent but one day when I get time I pray I finally get to paint after many yrs ! Have Everything to paint with also acrylics tons of brushes must learn about types of watercolor paper though cause I never knew you must stretch it! But I do remember it buckles up 🤔
Glad you are here, thank you for all the kind words and I pray you feel better soon!! I’ve never stretched my watercolor paper ever, but the buckling never bothers me. I work mostly on blocks so they helps :)
Can you make a video about how to use these technics in a composition with the roses for example from start to finish? I loved the technics you showed and would like to grasp them better
I never knew what they meant by “Movement” in watercolor, now I do. You use the greenery as arrows to move the eye through the painting. We follow the curlicues of leaves, swirls of petals and other interesting foliage or flowers. It really does give movement and energy to the work. I learned a lot, and I’m an intermediate watercolorist.
Your brushes have made a huge difference in the way I paint leaves! Your use of color is amazing and also what I need to practice. I think I need to become more spontaneous. This video was awesome! Thank you!!!
I received your brush set today and have barely started using it with tips from this video. Can't wait till tomorrow when I can spend more time learning this greenery. I love your energy and joy. You are just right extra!!
You have the best energy and your passion for the craft is just oozing from you! This holds my interest and sparks my desire to try not just watch. I look forward to binging on your knowledge base. 😁
This is so helpful!! I felt like I had flowers down to my liking but the leaves felt like i was stuck in elementary school. This was just what I needed.
I feel like my leaves are always the “same ole , same ole”! I have a hard time getting creative with them. This was so helpful for new ideas! I’m headed back to my art room for practice!
Great video Kristy!! I am so glad you addressed the tendrils!! I love that look, it reminds me of calligraphy. Not that I know how to do it, yet! I think the tendrils just add a pop to your paintings! Thanks as always for your detailed videos!❤
@Paintcrush with Kristy Rice Aww that's so sweet that you asked 🥰 Actually, it would be really cool to see calla lillies and/or orchids 😬 I enjoy watching you paint - you're very confident with your strokes & I feel like I absorb that when I watch you 😆
I love your energy!! I just subscribed️ I loved this video. I love the whimsical cluster. I am going to incorporate this idea into my paintings! Thank you!
This is so true, I always love my flowers but then sometimes my leaves are just meh, they really make the painting look complete! Love the way you paint, glad I found this channel!
I think these leaves would look wonderful paired with your idea about a pencil in wet paint. I did it the other day with a white colored pencil in a big blue lead and it looked soooo fun and sketchy!
I paint with acrylic, not watercolor, but loved watching this! You are the Queen of Green! That second painting didn't even need flowers - the foliage is lovely by itself. Some great tips here that will translate to acrylic. I'll subscribe!
Everyone is commenting on your lesson Kristy (what good students) but I want to comment on your exquisite painting. Stunning colours (bet they dont come cheap🤭) and design. Knock out stuff!!!! Beautiful!!! Im new here tonight but Im now subscribed...🤗 I know I am going to have to watch everything at least 2-3 times because you talk fast and impart so much information but I'll get there..again thankyou for your very useful lessons, making everything look so easy (I have not conquered fine or continuous lines as yet)...cheers from Western Australia 🥰🤗🦘🦘🦘
I gotta use my liner brush a lot more!! Usually only comes out when I'm painting faces. ;) Thank you for sharing your mad skills with The WORLD! Create a Beautiful Day!
Oh my days…..this is just what I need…. you have a new subscriber 😍 so happy I have found you, love how you have set up your pallet ( makes perfect sense ) 💕
Wow! I was struggling with the daggar brush so I switched to the cat tongue brush nd it went much better for me. I love your brushes and they really are making a difference for me. Thank you!
My leaves are always "meh" , but no more! I'm gonna practice, practice, practice. I love your channel, you give off amazing, energetic, happy vibes! Thanks Kristy 😊
Kristy, you are a hoot!! In one of the comments below, you said you worry if you're "just too extra" but I say, keep it coming!!! I love your style! Watching your videos and learning your tips & techniques has been extremely helpful! Thank you!
Im a beginner at 62. The only thing i come close to painting well is leaves. Seriously i cant paint anything else. But im trying. Your video's are fun and inspiring. Thank you.
This is a beautiful video but I wonder if you could explain the movement of your brush a little and which brush you are using. I have a similar brush but can't seem to get those dabbing shapes. I notice you don't specify in the comments which brush you are using. I would love to be able to paint all these leaves and have been practicing but am missing something, Thank you
I am getting your paint brushes on Monday i am so excited to use them. I will try them on these exercises. Still continuing to practice every day with what i have to work with. It is therapeutic for me.😊
Hi Kristy❤️, I came across one of your books at an art supplies store here in Holland where I live. I saw it was a mixture of drawings from all of your four cutting gardens books. The publisher is Deltas. I noticed the paper was so smooth that it made me question whether it's watercolor paper or not. And whether the English books have the same smooth paper. Your Painterly Days books have paper with more tooth. Do you know if this Dutch book is meant for watercolor painting? I would like to purchase it, but it seems to me that it is so much harder to work with smooth paper so I haven't bought it yet. I would like to hear from you🙂. All the best, Gerda
@@KristyRice thank you Kristy for your answer👍. So if I want more textured paper I should choose the English books? There is a difference between the Dutch and the English?
Art beside the point ... you are wonderful. Sub & binge weekend. Painting (ish) for many years but always a tense exercise so "blendy blend' absolutely grabbed me. I'm putty in your voice. Ready for re moulding, dahhhlin'.
Your colors are so vibrant! It seems like you have two or three colors in one stroke. I don’t have that many colors. Your florals are so awesome. I love your style but am overwhelmed at the overall depth and color and movement. I think I need to try a dagger brush.

Oh soooo exciting!!! Every watercolor moment has restorative power!!
Love your channel -has material that nobody else is doing. You are crushing it. No pun. Haha.
That means the world to me! I’m trying hard to bring something new yet complimentary to the table so I appreciate your words!
Im gonna try those tendrils and wisps, first. Love them❤
You are so generous thank you for helping us.
It is truly my pleasure!

Ahhh yes!! The Dutch print is made for watercolor painting, it’s more of a hot press with less texture :)
@@KristyRice thank you Kristy for your answer👍. So if I want more textured paper I should choose the English books? There is a difference between the Dutch and the English?
Art beside the point ... you are wonderful. Sub & binge weekend. Painting (ish) for many years but always a tense exercise so "blendy blend' absolutely grabbed me. I'm putty in your voice. Ready for re moulding, dahhhlin'.
I love this!! Welcome!
I just got your paint brushes and i am in love.🥰🥰🥰
Yay!! So glad!!
Your colors are so vibrant! It seems like you have two or three colors in one stroke. I don’t have that many colors. Your florals are so awesome. I love your style but am overwhelmed at the overall depth and color and movement. I think I need to try a dagger brush.
I’m biased but everyone should try a dagger brush!!
I love your flower paintings. Can you please do more live/real time videos of complete paintings.
I definitely can!!
😱 Gah !!!! So beautiful !!! 😍 🍃☘🍀🌿🍃🍀☘🌿
Goodness, thank you!!
That brush! I neeeeeeeed it!
It’s sooo fun!!
You had me at “ready to rumble” !
LOL!
Gorgeous!
Thank youuuuu!!!
I paint in acrylic and oil and would like to add watercolor to my mediums. Looking forward to trying your tutorials.
Wonderful!
I learned so much!!! Thank you!
Ahhh yay!!
Great tips! My stems always look stiff. The dagger sure makes it look easy. Wish it was sold as a separate, I have most of the others already.
It is! Under studio tools at kristyrice.com
Gonna go 'blendy blend' me some greens! 🤗
Do it do it!
Going to try them all
Well awesome!!!
Love this video ...great tutorial..thanks
The liner brush for sure...but I definitely want to try the larger clusters of greenery.
Yes!!!
Enjoyed your creative retreat segment today. :)
Ohhh thank you!! So glad to hear it!!
