This was so calming to watch. We have a house around the corner from ours and the front garden is currently full of Hollyhocks and Sunflowers. You have inspired me - thank you x
So delicate but packs a punch Beautiful, loved seeing Crumble outside, I would love to be a patreon but will settle for what you share with us on here, finances just will not stretch xxxxxxx
Merci Harriet, j adore les roses trémières, votre jardin est magnifique et votre chien aussi. C est toujours un immense plaisir de regarder vos vidéos. Douce soirée à vous 🙀💜
I love this piece. It's simply beautiful. The colors you chose to use are very soft a comforting. I could see myself using this cottage as a country retreat to escape for unwinding from the daily hustle and bustle of things. It would be just me and a couple of my cats there with no phone and no tv but lots of good food and art supplies and maybe something to play music on. 😊
Absolutely charming! I can envision this scene in different seasons as well...like your door series. I painted all four and gave them as a gift to a dear friend.
Wow, so cool, I didn’t think the house would turn out well but I should not have doubted, it’s so lovely! We’ve had hollyhocks the last two years and kept thinking I should paint them, thank you for showing how!
I absolutely love how you frame your work in such a cute and wonky surrounding. I always want to make things with some square or rectangle border so this kind of gets me out of my comfort zone and I think it is worth the end result!
Love the loose, dreamy styling! Definitely a look I want to achieve. Great guidance on how to create the image with a minimum of carefully chosen bits and pieces. Amazing. I see myself painting many variations of this image. Thank you.
I just love this. It is magical. Some months ago I began painting little houses in streets. They are totally whimsical and probably make no sense to anyone but me. What fun I have. Thanks so much, and thanks to your dog (Crumb?) for his appearance!
Omg, this is a darling little cottage! What a beautiful painting this is. I felt like I wanted to walk down the path of hollyhocks and knock on the door.❤
So pretty Harriet, thank you for sharing it with us. This would make a perfect card or present for someone who has just moved house - thanks for the inspiration 😊
Love your garden! What a lovely place you have. Crumble is a charmer. I look forward to painting this cottage soon. I wish I could draw. I have trouble with that even though you make it look so easy. I love Hollyhocks. I love flowers and birds is what I'm wanting to learn. I so glad you teach painting without a drawing. It seems paint by number kits.
Soooo beautiful!!! I am planning on doing this one for my best friend. Thank you for those little watercolor flowers realistically accessible for beginners like me 😊
Beautiful tutorial. Hollyhocks are one of my favorite garden variety flowers. You captured their beauty. The cottage is quaint and charming. Thank you. 👍 💗 👍
Tks so much! So appreciate such a well described tutorial complete with brushes & colors used! I'm a senior & not able to subscribe to paid platforms so I truly appreciate!
It also reminds me of a story called Miss Rumphius, only she grew lupines everywhere. The hollyhocks are one of my favourite flowers! Thanks for sharing Harriet!
Eek, you asked to see our work so here goes nothing (gulp) My first country landscape with your guidance. Hope it does it some semblance of the justice it deserves. Plan to try again soon. Grateful for your tutorial(s). Great learning source!
These are in bloom in my city everywhere -in many colours too. I love that cottage. Perfect for a summer getaway! As always, beautifully painted, Harriet!
I really love this painting, the details on the door and shading around both windows and doors made a big difference. Extra touches on the hollyhocks made the flowers very impressive!! I’m definitely going to give this one a go! Thank you ❤
Ohhhh I want to try this with all different flowers now too…. Don’t have many hollyhocks in steamy parts of Australia…. But I do have cosmos at the moment…. I’m sure you have a tutorial for that….
