thanks
Hi Lindsay...miss the live sessions on Friday, but very happy to see this one. My paints are out of pocket right now, so have to wait to do this little gem. So happy to have watercolor demos again vs pastels, and other crafts. My passion is for watercolor. Thank you, thank you...
The link is broken to the reference photo. Can you repost?
Hi Lindsay! Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just got done re-watching it and was getting ready to get started, but I got this error when I clicked on the reference link. “404. That’s an error.
The requested URL was not found on this server. That’s all we know.”
I think I am going to try this by just using your painting as my reference. I truly love cosmos. They are one of my favorite wildflowers. This is so pretty!
I swear, I need to stop watching your watercolour videos...every time I watch one, my wish list gets bigger lol
I look forward to the Watercolor Wednesdays very much. You give so much of yourself--your time, your expertise. Just want you to know it is appreciated!
Thank you:)
Thank you so much Lindsay. Yay, beginner Wednesday! My grandchildren, ( vectors of disease and pestilence), brought home the 3 to five day plague. I took care of everyone, now it's my turn. I will definitely try this one when my bones don't feel like they are melting. I figure by the weekend. 😉🤒🤕💙💚💛💜
oh no! haha, I laughed at your description tho! Feel better soon, I had a cold last week, no fun:(
@@thefrugalcrafter 🤣💜thanks.
Gorgeous! I love your loose style! I agree with you, that cover is beautiful and I'm glad you are going to repurpose it! Hope you show us when it's done! TFS
You're correct, bright yellow goldfinch is the male, females and the younger birds are a olive green color. I used to have a bird feeder outside my kitchen window so I got to observe them alot while washing dishes (the old fashioned way). Thanks for these Wednesday tutorials, I really appreciate them. Take care and God bless.
Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas
I can see my feeders from the kitchen sink (and watch the plump grey squirrels stealing the seeds too lol!)
Thank you for being consistently you. I watch and participate in other crafts, journaling, and beading videos. But then I watch yours and feel very grounded. Your goldfinch is fantastic, as well as the tulip tree that is coming up.
(I watched backwards.) 💖
Beautiful!!! I want to try painting this. I love this type of tutorials with flowers and a bird. Thank you for showing how to paint this scene. Thanks for all the videos you create for people to enjoy painting along with you.
Beautiful!! You’re such a talented watercolor artist and teacher! Thank you Lindsay! 🎨
Beautiful, Lindsay! These little yellow finches were my Mother's favorite bird. This made me think of her and made me smile, even though I miss her so much. Thank you for this.
Thank you for sharing that memory:)
You are an awesome teacher in how you explain things as you go along! Your painting looks like it will be fun to paint! One thing though, your loose look is my sloppy look!🤣! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Just watched & commented on your (today's) vid, explaining the YT recommendation process. Chose this to watch immediately after, as a result of what you said & I believe this is the 1st time ever that all recommendations related to things I'd actually watch, rather than the usual big-money tv channels.
Thanks Lindsay, I loved the sketchiness with the mauve at the end. The flowers are so loose... many of us are struggling to paint loose flowers and this looks like a good way to get there. Can’t wait to try this. I have your flower course and I will go back to it and practice.
I love this and am going to try this, had to watch it in a hurry because I wanted to see it but only had a couple minutes.. Love it! I will try this when i get home! Awesome again thanks so much!!
I haven't seen the video yet, but when this picture showed up in my subscription feed, I fell in love with your painting. How darling it is! Love the colors that you used. I can't wait to get a moment to watch this.
Thank you!
Really just love this one, the bird, the colors, the feel. Thank you
Loved this painting! I am all for more beginner watercolor tutorials. Thank you!
I am so excited to try to paint this one. I am happy to see this journal reviewed. I have it in my cart but wanted to wait till someone shared their thoughts about it. Thanks so much.
The paper is great, just keep in mind it is a block not a pad so you will need to remove each sheet after you paint it. That said I will turn mine into a journal when I'm done. Oh and I'm pretty sure I will have the cover stained before I am done so if that worries you you might want a black one:)
I love your tutorials. I can't wait to paint this one. It is a perfect spring picture.
Fabulous Bird Lindsay!!
I actually like your painting more than the reference photo :) Love your tutorials!
Thanks!
Beautiful! Love how the flowers turned out.
Thank you Lindsay!! I learn so much from you videos. Love your energy thank you for sharing
This was a fun video Lindsay. Really enjoy painting birds. So, I will post on your Instagram and facebook when I'm done. Thanks for another wonderful tutorial!
I'm loving watching this video. I would love to learn to watercolor, although I am not artistic at all. It is like magic to me....
Love this watercolor! Nice job!
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
LOVE this one. Thanks for sharing
Oh yes..so pretty
Love your tutorials❤️
Love this! Thank you!
Love this 💜! Very pretty!!
This was gorgeous 😍 I enjoyed the video 🎨
Very beautiful
Just got mine in the mail today. So awesome tutorial! How did you like the paper? Getting ready to use it. Love all your work!
I really like it. Often with not press I feel it grabs the pigment too fast and this was really easy to control.
ty
Very nice! Thank you
I love bird paintings jay. Pitty rubens is quite hard to find in the netherlands. Still am scared to use as much water as you. Alwasys makes me smile tho i know thats my main issue; your finch looks like he's really sad btw,hehe thos beak lines can be a thing i know
I really enjoyed this. The link for the reference photo didn't open. I have the same watercolor block. I enjoy the paper and if you did a tutorial on how you turn that cover into a journal I'd be super excited. Definitely not something I want to throw away.
How about a video on making a swatch. I know that there is probably one done already, but a new one would be great.
Hello my name shista so beautiful painting
I’m new to painting and especially water color so as far as paper I was lost on what you were using but your finished product is amazing! Did you use water on the paper after you sketched it or was that a medium?
I always enjoy your painting, thank you. Question! How did you make your cup of tea? Looked really delicious :)
Hi! I haven't commented in some time but I continue to watch and love your work. I am one state closer to you; I moved back to my family farm in VA. 2 QUESTIONS: Please recommend an artist quality transparent palette, preferably no granulating colors and especially high light-fastness?. #2. QUESTION: I want Derwent Inktense pencils or blocks. I want to paint on silk, restore an antique damask material and paint fantasy and cards for children. I re-watched your review and preference for the pencils but I am too impatient to get watercolor pencil paint onto paper USING A BRUSH TO THE PENCIL-TIP. I liked the way you used the blocks like a pan palette. What were your reasons for your pencil perference and where/when is a good time a year to purchase the 72 set? I get most of my supplies from Jerry's Artarama thanks so much for all the savings I enjoy because of your videos. However, they send me so many sale notices I find I don't read them at all now.
1. Mission gold pure pigment set or 24 half pan set. 2. It's a personal choice, I liked the pencils better but if you think the blocks are better for you get those. They also now have 2 different 12 pan sets you might like. I don't know when the best time to buy is, if day if the go lower than $70 for 72 set go for it.
Hi Lindsay, I love watching you paint and want to try some of your paintings. My problem is I can't draw well enough to paint realistic like the bird. I love birds. Do you ever have printables to download for us amateurs?
Temos um ditado popular que diz: "quando crescer, quero ser igual a você". Easy!!!???? Kkkkkk(lol)🙉🙈🙊. Te admiro muito. Belo trabalho 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💎💐😘🙏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
amazing dear
Lovely :)
Hey Ms. Lidsay, I saw in one of your videos that you were working with an ink stamp block and was wondering where you purchased it? I've looked everywhere. Plz help. Thank you and I love your channel.
Another fun project Lindsay. I'm wondering how do you decide whether to use hot press or cold press? I've mostly used cold press and rough and the one time I tried hot press I didn't have much success. I'd like to try the Paul Rubens paper.
It's prefetence. I like cold press for most, dough for landscapes and hot press for #portrait or botanical subjects but you can use what you want for any;) hot press has a learning curve, give it another try if you have it:)
I wonder if you add a little ox gall to the water, it would increase the flow?! Hm...... Would be interesting for someone who already has the paints could compare both methods.
Hi Lindsay 😊 the water you brushed on before painting, is there a way to tell if you have too much water, not enough, or just the right amount??
And is drawing a must for your watercolor flower class?? I can’t draw😢
Thank you for your help!!
Hi Christina, the wetness of the paper depends on the effect you want. A good rule of thumb for a wet in wet background is an even sheen but if you tip the paper vertically you should not have drips. If it is puddlely just blot the paper with a clean towel or paper towel and brush over it with a dry or damp brush to equalize it. I usually wet my paper then go and mix colors for a wash and by then it is perfectly wet. The more you paint the more you get the hang of it.
As for the flower class the only drawing we do is tracing a circle for a wreath and making a rounded rectangle for a vase. I have one advanced painting but a pattern is provided. Everything else we are building with brushstroke techniques. I am sure you can do it, if you are not happy I have a 30 day refund policy:)
Thank you so much!! That makes sense! I hope to join the flower watercolor class soon!!
I keep forgetting about practicing thinking people can just up and paint. I really need to listen to you and TRY to paint something, anything every day
there is something about sets of color that sparks a "i want this in my life" feeling, and with watercolors coming out in so many different sets and colors it's a struggle :D for some reason i feel like i don't want to buy the W&N cotman, is it a good set to have in the collection? i get suspicious when everyone says a brand is good.. can't really explain it :D
Cotman is a reliable student grade set. If you have other paints you are happy with skip it. I recon it is highly used and reccomened because it is easy to find worldwide and affordable.
💕💕💕
Do you use any art rules when it comes to drawing birds? I have watched John Muir Laws....He gives good information! but can take out the joy of creating! I love birds! I love butterflies and flowers etc ...So is it good to get very in depth? Does this learn you to loosen up while taking on the in depth principles of creating?
I draw what I see, no gimmicks:) If you trust what you see and not what you think you see you can draw anything.
@@thefrugalcrafter Thank you I need to focus on what I see!
@@lily_and_thistle Thank you for your input..appreciated.
Lovely painting.
How is a paint swatch made?
I have a video on how I do it. Search polish watercolor on my channel. I go into how I do it.
no pixaby link?
I lost the darn photo on pixaby and couldn't find it when I searched so I uploaded the one I cropped to drive and it is linked in the description:)
