I agree with everything said in the comments. Furnace not as bad as you think. You are great, I love your tutorials and how you teach them. Thanks for spoiling us!
Your furnace is not loud at all..... don't worry about it so much. Love the seashells...will be a Christmas gift.
Love the seashells and the furnace is no big deal :)
thanks!
Really gorgeous shell art, Lindsay! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Lindsay, thanks so much for doing this shell painting so soon after we asked for it. It's a great one to learn on IMHO because each small shell is less intimidating while still being part of a complete piece. And honestly the furnace is not a problem. Much less distracting than the 'elevator music' in most videos; it's kinda comforting like white noise recordings people buy for de-stressing LOL.
thanks:)
Sweet, humble little shells captured magnificently - I love it. (and after 6 years, I still don't mind the furnace, it leads me to feel that behind the scenes the hearth and home is warm for your family.. cosy :)
aww, thank you, it is defiantly a constant noise LOL!
I love to watch your tutorials. You are one of the few artists who work in real time, and you almost always give the reasons for doing what you do. I appreciate this because it gives me an insight into your thought processes and the methodology of creation. Keep it up, furnace noise and all! I don't mind! Lucille
thank you:)
Absolutely beautiful Lindsay! You served up a gourmet banquet for us this week! My goodness! I think we are spoiled now! LOL! Loved every minute! Thank you so very much! Remember to be good to yourself and your family! You certainly are grand toward us! We are truly blessed! See you next time-"Same Frugal Time! Same Frugal Channel!" Quote from "Plicketyplunk"! Anybody like that as much as I do?! :) I like it as much as " Until next time-Happy Crafting!" Quote from Lindsay! Everyone have a great night! Thank you Lindsay! BTW-if you ask us you might as well figure we are going to say " Long version please!" LOL! :)
hahaha:) Thank you, sometimes I can just crank out the videos and it does not feel like work at all, isn't that weird?
Not at all! I think when we get in that FUN place the time flies and we just enjoy our work! We certainly enjoyed yours! Have a great time crafting!
I've been looking for ways of how to paint a shell and came across your tutorial. I've been painting for many years but mainly animals, so something like this is a bit on the new side. Thank you so much for your help ...... shushh ......... I love your channel! :-)
+The Devon Artist aww, thanks!
They came out great. They really look as thought u can pick one off the paper
You are awesome, Lindsey! Luv yer shells! I purchased your Craftsy class a few weeks ago and it's the best gift I've given myself in a long time! Hope you do another class on Craftsy because I'm ready and willing to purchase it!!! STAT!
Adlin Osar I would love to see another craftsy class too.
thanks! I hope they have me back to do another class too!
Hi Lindsay! Me again! (Watching second time-starting second layer you said) Anyway-I don't know if I have ever told you this-I absolutely LOVE the way you teach step by step and why and how! It is so amazing and so helpful! Thank you for teaching this way!
Enjoyed it? Absolutely *loved* it! What beautiful shells. Interesting too as we are seeing the angle from the camera, while you are seeing the shells from lower down. Loved the end result of them all - the green one especially! Oh, & BTW the furnace does *not* bother me!
:-)
thanks!
The cracked snail shell came out awesome!
Ps... The furnace was not loud at all, could hear you fine!
so beautiful, Lindsay
a big thank you for your selection of shells & painting tutorial.
Wonderful tutorial, thankyou Lindsay!!👏🏻
thats beautiful lindsay
Great video Lindsay! 😆 Your not talking to yourself if I am answering you back. 😉 Nope, the furnace doesn't bother me at all. It's just a necessary background noise that isn't loud. Granted, I understand more now as to why you are worried about it, now that I make videos. Noises that I was used to now seem louder when I am trying to film. 😲 You share your time and knowledge, so a little noise isn't gonna hurt anyone. 😆 I have had to turn on my heater and wear a couple of layers for a couple of weeks already. My studio was 48 the other day when I went in.
yikes! I just cleaned out the office and set up my winter workspace this weekend!
lol! 😆 Yep, in fact after I typed the last comment, my studio was 45. Once I turn on the heater, I can start taking layers off about 30 mins later. 53 starts feeling warm surprisingly. Granted my studio (though the room was built inside the garage) is a little bit smaller than yours, it is easier to heat. Funny being in Az, but cooler than maine...lol 😉 We have gotten about 3" of snow in the last couple of hours and we are to get more through the night and into to tomorrow. My watercolors shouldn't have an issue should they? I haven't had a problem in the past and it doesn't drop below freezing in the studio, but do you think I should store them in hubby's studio? I know the cold causes issues with acrylics & oils which is one reason I gave hubby the indoor studio. I'm drawing with fire so cold isn't an issue for my main supplies. 😉
Hi Lindsay! I just love your artwork and especially enjoy your teaching skills. You are so patient, you explain each step so well! You are the best. Thank you. xoxo. Sharon
thanks!
Very pretty. Thank you, Lindsay May.
Lovely. Thanks for selflessly sharing your skills with us.
Loved this tutorial....and the furnace did not bother me a bit! Sorry it's so cold already, lots of sunshine here in AZ...LOL....TFS
I love these shells! They're perfect for cards.
You are great. You demonstrate beautifully and explain in such a professional manner which I like. You give wonderful ideas! Thank you Lindsay!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I really love those mission gold colors and this was a very helpful lesson. Ps the furnace (and water heater or pump when that happens) is not a problem.
thank you:)
You can do so many things! You are talented! thanks for sharing
Thank you for the video! I'm just a beginner and I am learning a lot from you. You explain everything so well that it is easy to follow. Thanks again.
thank you!
Wow! love it!
Just beautiful! You are very good at noticing the small details of the subject. I feel like I learned a lot from this. Thanks.
Thanks for doing this one Lindsay!
Love the shells. So pretty and realistic!
wow Thank you I really love seashells !!
Love this!
Thank you Lindsey I really enjoyed this tutorial. I really appreciate the trouble you go to help us with things like mistakes and how to fix them. By the way the heater is not that bad. I see lots of shells in my future, thanks again!
I could hear you fine with furnace on, just blocked out sound listening to what your saying.Very pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great job as always.
I love real time! Beautiful work. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us in TH-cam land. :)
thanks!
Fantastic video! Living on the East Coast, we have access to a lot of shells. Looks like I'm going to be going thru mine, looking for some interesting shells to paint. Thanks so much for all the watercolor videos...
you are very welcome:)
Thanks Lindsey. I was waiting for this tutorial. I think I will give it a try when my new Daniel Smith watercolors arrive.
Thank you so much Lindsay, awesome tutorial :)
I loved this! I have been wanting to paint sea shells and now I feel equipped to give it a try. Your teaching methods are really helpful. Thank you!
So beautiful! Gosh, I have so much to learn. Watching your process is helping! Thanks!
These are all beautiful you are very talented thank you so much for sharing.
You are so talented! Thank you again for sharing that talent through the longer video. Lots of good tips to try and master. :)
Yay real time shell video! :D This looks so wonderful!
thanks!
I love shells, even for decor in the summer. Getting the sometimes subtle shades of colors in a watercolor painting isn't easy for me; as a newbie there's the danger of over working. I'm still working through the layering and I need to be more patient ( that's a life long goal lol). I really like this lesson, it was easy to follow. Still loving the learning process and your tutorials are an awesome gift for all of us, all year long. Really beautiful shells.
Thank you for this! I always learn so much from your tutorials.
I like the snailhouse you spilled water on after better btw,grin. Thats just me tho: I Go Mental when I lose my white line. Wich is kinda frustrating when the only decent brush I own is an 8 (or 7) round sable,jaiks (I draw bigger so it fits my brushsize, since I don't have much options,lol). So my gelpen is my best friend when it comes to fine white lines. Specially Handy pen to have when you have tremmors in your hands like me, small white lines & I do not mix well unless done with my magic pen :)
yay! so excited for this video ty
You did a great job with these shells. They came out so beautiful. You are so talented. And "No", the furnace did not bother me. You are so funny with the little comments you make that I actually do, Laugh out loud. You're such a fun teacher. I've wanted to water color shells I have collected over the years for awhile now...but never felt brave enough..silly right? so now I am more prepared to do so propertly. Thank you so much. Jeanine PS Did I hear you say that watercolor set was Master Gold?
mission gold
Lovely, and I never hear the furnace. It's probably louder on your end. I also purchased your mixed media class. Thanks for sharing your love of crafts with all of us.
thank you!
Great tutorial!
Great job! Thank you!
You are my favorite watercolor artist
WOW!!! AMAZING!......what furnace??? was so involved watching I didn't hear it....lol
Love this Seashell vid! The furnace is not a problem; it makes your video uniquely Lindsay.;-)
BTW, do you test your combined color mixes off screen on a piece of water color paper to ensure you have the correct colors before applying it to your painting?
not usually, my palette is white so I can tell pretty well
GWENNETH SIMMONS I totally agree about the furnace. Totally fine with me if she kept going!
GideonMightyWarrior: Are you going to attempt it?? ;-)
GWENNETH SIMMONS No. I am actually sitting here watching her lovely work while I knit a cabled hat for a nephew. Lindsay is great company while I work. :)
GWENNETH SIMMONS I do enjoy making art, however. I am just in a knitting stretch for a while.
This is nice smile thank you for sharing
Great as always :)
This is so pretty, would you do them in oil pastel or soft pastel, when you have time to work them in? please!!!!!
Awesome Tutorial! Like how the big brown spiral shell turned out.
In one of your recent videos you mentioned a favorite watercolor book, which one is it and do you have other favorites, or a dvd you like?
Thanks for sharing. I'm learning so much from you.
this is the one: www.amazon.com/Everything-Ever-Wanted-About-Watercolor/dp/082305649X
Hi lindsay, I asked this on your blog but could you do a comparison to the princeton snap line and princetons regular watercolor brushes ps I have been waiting to see this since yesterday
Princeton has lots of different lines of brushes, you can't beat the snap line for price and quality. Sorry I missed your blog comment, I have had 2 giveaways this week and I have not sifted through the comments:( The SNAP brushes are great workhorses and great for beginners. When you feel like you want a thirstier brush try a neptune, a #6-#10 round is a great all around brush, get the biggest in that range you feel comfortable with. I really don't think Princeton makes a bad brush, they make brushes for different media, just make sure you get something suitable for watercolor and yu will be good:)
+thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich, It is ok you didn't see my comment but thank you for the help, I don't know if I would be doing watercolors if you didn't do youtube. The only other person that inspired me to do watercolors was my art teacher Mrs. D
Loved it! Anything ocean, and I'm all in. :)
I got an introductory Qor set, and am looking to add a few more colours. What are your recommendations?
i recommed any of the intro sets as they are so econmical vs buying individual tubes
What kind of brush are you using Lindsay?? I love it!
mimik squirrel (fake fur)
Thank you!
I'm a bit of a nutso crafter.
I figured out more than a decade ago that I could use my ink-jet printer to print on tracing paper and... wait for it... use the wrong side of a brush (AKA the point of the handle) to trace a design from tracing paper (usually a photo I printed onto the thinnest velum possible) and "mar" the watercolor paper on which I planned to paint, thereby creating "invisible" outlines that were immediately "filled in" the moment that water and paint flowed into the indentations I created using this method.
Which is to say that I've got lots and lots of photos of sea shells, I've got even more images I can Photoshop for the purposes of creating outlines to be filled in with "authentic" watercolor paintings and that I hope that someone, somewhere will take these ideas and run with their lack of self-confidence (for goodness sake, I never considered myself to be an "artist" until I was well within my twenties purely on the basis of the fact that I couldn't draw a straight line or a cartoon of a Disney character in Kindergarten and now I know that my humility was an affront to God Himself when he gifted me with a creative mind/soul that makes me truly "his image" of wanting to surround myself with beauty...) -- especially since, by the time I was 10, I had begun to design almost all of the designs that were to become the "core" of my closet by the time I was 12, at which point I was designing/sewing almost all of my own clothes...
IOW, creative people of the world UNITE to form the world's greatest collective of artist that has ever existed in the history of human kind by... sharing really weird tips for how to create a better design for use in creating watercolors etc... because any "creative type" can automatically find other "creative types" on TH-cam, thanks to the invention of teh Innertubes....
:-D
LOL
you have another fan
Love this! And the furnace only bothers you :)
thanks!
Hi Lindsay, I'm watching through this tutorial before painting, just to get a feel for it and I would like to know, if you don't have any pink paint, what colours could you substitute for the first shell. I have Crimson and Brilliant Red in my set. Do I use a very watery Crimson with the yellow ochre?
crimson
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich Thank you.☺
Do you do Prismacolor premier colour pencils and Staedtler fine liner markers?
I use the pencils a lot
omggggg
this was posted on my bdayyy
Hi Lindsey neither the furnace nor the water pump are a problem. I don’t feel you need to worry about pausing the videos when they come on.
Thanks for this lesson, I would like to know what brand watercolor palette you are using.
Mission gold perfect pan set of 24
Hey wait, it's end november & you're still in the basement? Cold not to bad this year? If I recall correct last year this time you were related to an icecube :P Forgive me, I know you'll laugh at me for this. But we had -2 this morning on the soccerfield. With Frost on the trees. I was like "Jeah Winter, Finally" as long as it takes though,lol. We don't get much winter here. It's not that sticky white snow. We allmost allways get mud :)
I just set up my winter space in the office this weekend LOL!
Hi Lindsay, how do you transfer images drawn on scratch paper to either watercolor paper and also to wood? Thank you. :)
scribble pencil on the back of the drawing and trace over it, it will transfer like carbon paper
thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich Thank you. 😁
What kind of paint set are you using? Thank you!
I thought I heard her say Master GOld. I'd like to know also. I love how many colors are in the set AND I love the saturated colors.
MISSION GOLD. That's the name of the set.
I really don't understand what those PR-numbers mean, I know it's something about pigments & numbers designated for colors, reds, yellows, blues, etc, but still confused?
Thanks so much for this great video. Can hardly hear you furnace. Marilyn Todd
The number and frequency of ads in this was so distracting that I finally tuned out . I understand the need for them but this was over the top.
TH-cam has added s breaks in all older videos over 8 minutes in length. You have to go in and remove ad breaks one by one video by video and I have over 3000 video tutorials and cant check them all. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience. Just know this is probably the case if you come upon similar amounts of ads on other old videos, we creators are not aware what videos are affected until we get conplaints:(
Is it me or the painted ones look real and the real ones looks fake 0_0
She doesn't know what the seashells are for! Hahahahaha
