Most women think they can’t paint, so I create simple art tutorials that show them how to play with paint in a carefree way that grows their creative confidence. Watch these videos for ideas about creating a watercolor palette, inspiring watercolor ideas for beginners, playing with abstract watercolor art, exploring sketchbook art journaling ideas, and more.
Hi just found your channel and I loved wht you did. Makes so much sense to me. Im i a n art slump and this simple back and white is just what i needed to see. Subbed to your RU-vid will watch your other videos too.❤
I never thought leaving the pencil marks of it part as history but what a great way to think about it. I like it both ways and sometimes I’ll go over it w ink . I love zinnias and they come in so many colors and fun to paint . Thank you great tutorial
What an inspiring mini tutorial. Thank you so much! It’s my style of ‘arting’ but often I need confidence and you have really helped me with that. Off to grab my inks…
That was reallly cool thankyou Jen. It’s so good just being loose and intuitive in your art just letting go in the moment in the flow. Thanks for the awesome ideas and have a lovely day. Happy painting.👍🙏 Thanks🎨🖌️🤩
Hi from Eastern NC. Thank you for your video ! I can watch calm artists demonstrating different techniques and color mixing all day. It is so very relaxing for me and helpful as I try to polish my skills.
I just found you RU-vid channel and I love these 10 minute paintings! Can you explain how you choose your focal point? Also what was the crayon you used was is a pastel? Thanks for the videos can’t wait to try this!
Hi Jessica! The crayons are called Neocolor II and they’re made by Caran Dache. For focal points, that takes a lot of practice. But, some basic composition tips are to choose an off center point on your page, use a large element surrounded by smaller ones, or use complementary colors (like blue/orange or red/green) or darks and lights next to each other to draw attention to your focal area. Hope that helps without being overwhelming!
Thanks. Just tried it. Gonna go back in with some gesso and white charcoal for extra fun. Got me thinking to paint some black grid squares and use white materials over it on the opposite page.
I have used this potter's pink and buff titanium trick for a while. I could not resist the new Daniel Smith offering of five granulating colors for the price of four. Serpentine, Sodalite, Piemontite, Hematite, and Mars Black. All five are amazing and worth the price. I bought it for the green to use in landscapes but have fallen in love with the hematite for gravel, concrete and other grey-brown surfaces.
Potters Pink has been on my wish list for a while. I really like the results. I'm a Harry Potter fan too! I have read the books a few times and watched the movies many times. I love the books more, but at this point, I like how the stories are handled in each medium. And yes, Goblet of Fire is my favorite. The movie scene with one character crying out "My boy!" gets me every time. Thank you for the video!
Thanks for doing these. I think color mixing is alchemy! (Tying in to your Harry Potter theme) I liked the books best. This was fun! Have a great day. 🌻
This was a fun one! I love that you are using the same chart, so we can see the effects together! The cadmiums, ultramarine and cerulean plus the lunar black (PBk11) are in some of Schmincke's super granulation series. Most of which can be mixed at home. If you really love Viridian, but hate the dried up rock that it tends to be in most brands, get M Graham's version. Very highly tinted, very granulating and soft. It's the best IMHO. Thanks for sharing and happy exploring! 🌻
