Thank you 😊 Kristy for sharing your fun with leaves... I love the dark shade you used... I know it's only one of all the colors you've made before. The individual leaves look different than a cluster... I like them all when they appeared with your flower 🌼 #2, #3, #4, #5, #8... best of all seeing you play your favorite game called Let's Have Fun and Joy... while we paint!!! Beautiful!

Kristy Rice saving lives again! This is exactly what I needed. I've very much still at the beginning of my learning to paint florals and botanicals journey so my leaves are still not quite convincing. Just knowing what stroke variations correspond to what sort of leaves I want to make has lifted a huge obstacle out of my path. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge!

I hesitated to watch this video when it popped up in my RU-vid feed a few weeks back because, well I have watched a ton of how to paint leaves on this so far 2 year journey into learning watercolor. OMGoodness, I'm going to be watching it again! It's like leaves painted in the easiest way I've ever seen!!! My brain is like why didn't I think of doing it that way!! My eyes were like wow light bulb moment when I saw you using the round brush in the end painting!! As a round brush has been my go to brush. I'm just blow away at how easy it could be! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Kristy. Just purchased your brush collection. Love them! Used them to paint the 19 watercolor leaves. Help. Practice, patience- I know, but it would be helpful if you really slowed down video and described which way the dagger brush is facing. Facing out left, out right - straight edge, curved edge. Position of where to hold brush would be helpful. Ty

The V and Dab are my favorites because I was most successful at those 2! Haha. I am extremely right handed. How do you suggest painting the "other" side so it even remotely "matches ?" The short and classic and skinny wiggle felt very awkward. It is a super great chart and exercise! Thank you.

@KristyRice 2 года назад

Well the always strokes will start to feel less so as you do then more! You can also just flip your page around if you want super symmetry without your hand feeling poorly positioned :) let me know if this helps

@teresazade7496 2 года назад

Kristy, you mentioned in one video that metallic/pearlescent paints don't print well. Can giclee prints be overpainted with watercolor in order to add: 1- the individual touch 2- metallic/pearlescent highlights?

Well I’ve never done this but I’m thinking most likely yes to both 1 & 2!

I am so excited! I ordered your brushes. I am just curious if they are back in stock why they are going to take until May 18th to arrive? Totally not a complaint just curious and anxious to use them.

@KristyRice 2 года назад

Good question! When I ship inventory to Amazon there is a time period when they then transfer stock to many different warehouses nationwide. During that time my item is back “in stock” but not prime delivery eligible. Amazon estimates very generously how long it will be for you to receive the item. Their estimates are always very long in my experiences. You will likely have your set much quicker than their estimate :)

@lauried8685 5 месяцев назад

I have three, THREE, 1/4" dagger brushes and not one of them will make the strokes that you do. Do you think it might be user error? 🤣 I think I'll stick with a round brush.

@KristyRice 5 месяцев назад

So likely not user error. My dagger is quite specific and unique compared to others out there at the time of this comment:) 1. Shorter length overall and synthetic, super snappy bristles. So you get that controlled shape easier than say a longer, natural bristled version. 2. Also my handle is a bit shorter than most, also gives greater control, in my opinion. Does any of this sound like the dagger’s you have? Longer bristles, softer bristles that don’t snap back into shape and/or longer handles? PS: Sometimes folks go too fast between the drag and lift portion of “press, drag and lift”. Slow down that transition and see if you get better results!
