My dad passed away 7 years ago today after being sick for 3 short weeks with stage 4 cancer. It was a terrible time and hard past 7 years. The reason for me telling you is because we actually used poinsettias to decorate the funeral home, gigantic ones, then smaller ones for the tables at the repast so family members could take one with them to have for the holidays. To me, this painting tutorial was a special gift to help with this day. I am so thankful for you Lindsay 😊
Today I truly needed one of these videos. I absolutely love to grab a coffee and sit back and listen to you talk through as you create. Doesn't matter what all you talk about, I find it so very calming but there is also the plus of learning from you. Thanks Lindsay. From someone overwhelmed with life and decisions at the moment.
So pretty! There is actually a poinsettia out that is opera pink! I love it but then I really love pink. They keep coming out with new poinsettia colors every year. I do enjoy the real time projects.
I absolutely love when you do this type of video. I think I’ve painted almost everyone of your 30 minute easy, paint along videos. I’ll be doing this one as soon as I get my new printer.
I know the library art class will love painting this. I know I have fun when our local library has a class, we do acrylic paintings. I can't wait to try this one. It will be a fun addition to add to your line and wash course I have. Beautiful!
I love this poinsettia painting🎄 I just bought the Hand Painted Holiday course🤯🤯🤯what an amazing bargain Lindsay!!!! There is sooooo much there! I really hope others will hop onto this incredible sale! Wow! Thank you Lindsay thank you! This was my gift to me! I truly have all the supplies I need - and a studio full of , well , hoard… this type of gift is so much fun for me and adds no clutter & helps me use up my stuff!!! Win win😊💕
I LOVE YOUR REAL TIME TUTORIALS!!! So nice to see you “do your thing” and end up with something lovely! Just ink and wash, but filled with ‘Lindsay tips’… Really, really fun!!!
Shout-out to that Bic 0.9 in yellow! (Edit: lol I have the exact same one plus a few other colors, that's why I got excited.) They're not great for extended use if you have a tight grip on thin pencils (like me), but they are perfectly functional and those cheap basic refill erasers work if you cut them down to size. I enjoyed this video; as always the suggestions are much appreciated. I'm not painting along, unfortunately, but I did end up participating kinda! ☺ I wasn't sure what to doodle so I tried free-handing my own poinsettia onto the back of an index card. I tried making the bottom leaves look droopy from gravity but it ended up looking wonky instead. Then I realized it looked like arms with pointy hands so I decided to transform the design into a little poinsettia flower troll critter! I made the true flower on the bottom of the cluster bigger and turned it into a head by adding a cute, simple face and two small leaves on either side as ears, so the Poinsettia "flower" looks like a big, fancy, silly hat or crown! Ok most like a Mardi Gras headdress lol. Then I gave it a little vest with buttons, which the leaf arms stick out of, a long generic flower-petal skirt, and some curled seed pod/elf boots. I also created a little vine tail, ending in another round flower at first but I quickly turned it into another leaf instead. That seemed more troll-tuft like to me. Unfortunately, I drew my poinsettia troll creature so tiny that accidental tangents are hard to avoid with all of the veins lol. It's super cute so I'll probably try some simple rendering a little later. I might draw it some more too but figuring out what it would look like from other angles is going to be a bit of a challenge. And I've described it so much because I'm hoping other artists might want to draw their own version! Anyway, thank you for inspiring me, Lindsay!
Lindsay, if I received a hand made card from you I would think it was the best Christmas gift I received! I am sure that the people to whom you give cards absolutely love them!
Thank you so much for this! I am working my way through the line and wash class now, and it is a blessing! It is truly saving my sanity. I will take a break and work on this tutorial tomorrow.
Thanks Lindsay. Love the real time🎉 I have a relaxing time drawing a floral but have to remind myself to breathe painting one. I was painting a cardinal while I watched you paint the poinsettia 😅
Sure, it's Jerry q amzn.to/3ZG4HEs and I tool out thr paint and pans that came with it and added my paint in the wells. I used poster putty to tack full pans in the center.
I truly enjoyed this tutorial and hope to see more of this real time type. By the way, what do you know about Shinhan brand watercolor paints? Are they bad, good or ugly? lol thanks❤
I think the PWC and SWC lines are a fabulous buy! They sell open stock 15ml tubes for $6 in some stores. I have a review of the colors in the 32 set. th-cam.com/video/09L5bqXbEA8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UJdJf9SZaSEryqAP and I recommend them. They have another lime named "professional" that isn't as good as the pwc/swc but it's not bad. I have a review of that too: th-cam.com/video/6xR-OlsNsOY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2Y0RGIeNI49wd6U1 There's probably more than you want to know in those 2 videos 😆 🤣 😂
Lindsey, is there going to be a cuepon code for you botanical class? I'm definitely interested in purchasing it. Lovely samples you have chosen to teach. I have enjoyed you friendly teaching style from the beginning.
I launched the class at 50% off in October (it pays to snag my classes when I launch them because they are at the lowest price ever, i relaunch the holiday class when i add to it each year, thats why thats on sale) so I don't have plans to put it on sale again for a while. Please subside to my TH-cam channel, blog and newsletter to know when I have a sale or class discount. I aim to pack each class with plenty of content, even at full price:)
@thefrugalcrafter thanks Lindsey, I simply missed it. Still plan on purchasing the class it will just be after the new year. Wanted to let my excitement run away with me! I truly enjoy every class I have taken with you and have revisited them a few times. I learn something I missed each time. I am just pouty that I have to wait for new fun. Happy Holidays!
Can you do a video showing how to use different watercolor mediums with our paint. Specifically granulating Windsor and newton medium and qor aquasol flow medium.
I have some videos on watercolor mediums: Granulation medium: th-cam.com/video/fuac5-reYCU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_46aYy097QQlTXg8 And more mediums th-cam.com/users/live2dsZArLKkAk?si=h-fn8nSAY2Ex7vTo

I’m so sorry for your loss, and I’m glad the tutorial could bring you some peace today. Thank you for sharing this special memory. Hugs:)
I'm in the process of painting your other poinsettia "free and loose".
Just something to do..
Thanks. Love watching you.

I am enjoying working through some of your Handpainted Holiday course projects so this is timely. Thank you for the video Lindsay!
Love these type of tutorials (reminds me of the good old days when I discovered you)! ❤❤❤

Gosh, I wish my local library had art classes like this! Great ink & wash project. ❤️
You should see if they’d be open to hosting a workshop! You could teach it!
@thefrugalcrafter Ha! I am far far from being a teacher. But I will see how to make a request.
I love this poinsettia painting🎄

@thefrugalcrafter haha thanks! I agree. 🥰
Very very pretty Poinsettia and colors. Thank you
I am glad you liked it!
Poinsettia's are so wonderful. Thank you for this tutorial, Lindsay.
I am glad you liked it!
I would enjoy getting one of your cards for Christmas
As always, I really enjoy the real-time tutorials!
Thanks! It's always fun to see the process unfold.
It's a beautiful painting and you totally had me with the words real time and traceable. Thank you so much! I'd love to see more like this.
You’re welcome! I’m glad you liked it and I’m always looking for ways to make my tutorials more helpful!
Lindsay, if I received a hand made card from you I would think it was the best Christmas gift I received! I am sure that the people to whom you give cards absolutely love them!
That’s so sweet of you to say!

Thanks Lindsay. Love the real time🎉 I have a relaxing time drawing a floral but have to remind myself to breathe painting one. I was painting a cardinal while I watched you paint the poinsettia 😅
Wonderful!
🙂
This is gorgeous ☺
Thank you! Cheers!
Lindsay, your poinsettia is lovely and your tutorial is so helpful. Thank you!
You're welcome! I'm so glad you liked it!
Love your palette is so great I’m going to try this painting
Have fun!
@@thefrugalcrafter ty Lindsay I’m trying my Rosa gallerie watercolours beautiful paints
Cool project Lindsay! So how did the class go? Thank you!🎉❤
It's next week.
Beautiful will give this one a try
,
I just bought your class. Now to find the time! Maybe start early for next year.Lol
great idea!
Love your pallet. I've never seen one with that size of pans. Vanbyou share that information, please? Thx for your consideration.

@ Not too much at all. I have an inquiring mind after all. Thank you for taking time out of your day to answer!!

Where is the library class? Love to see if there’s space !
It filled up the day it was announced:(
Love it!
Thanks!
This is a beautiful painting ❤ I went to get the brushes and it says they are out of stock.😢 Do you think they will do another release in the future?
Yes, they had a delay on getting the packaging. They should be back in stock soon.
Would love to know what palette you are using. Full pans in the middle-I may be in love. I found the palette. What you did with it is genius!
it's this one: I took pit the pans that cam with it and filled the wells and added full pans in the center with poster tack.
@@thefrugalcrafter I think AI may have removed some info from your reply
I just love watching you paint! You make it seem soo easy. I
Can you do a video showing how to use different watercolor mediums with our paint. Specifically granulating Windsor and newton medium and qor aquasol flow medium.
I have some videos on watercolor mediums:
Granulation medium: th-cam.com/video/fuac5-reYCU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_46aYy097QQlTXg8
And more mediums th-cam.com/users/live2dsZArLKkAk?si=h-fn8nSAY2Ex7vTo
@ ty. I have tried the search function on TH-cam and nothing would show up.
Brushes where not available
I just heard from them today, they are experiencing a delay in packaging.
So lovely and delicate. Love watching you create! You got me in the Christmas spirit! Marilyn Todd on my husbands page
I’m so glad you liked it!
How does one get the pattern onto watercolor paper?
Or print onto watercolor paper?
I recommend printing it on copy paper and then using a light box or a window to trace it or you can use graphite transfer paper.
