Join me in this watercolour lesson painting snowdrops as I show you how to paint a beautiful watercolour snowdrop. Follow along with me in this guide to help expand your knowledge on simple watercolour techniques and be inspired to create something unique of your own.
About Me:
I am an experienced artist and tutor, with a life-long love of painting and drawing and a passion for nurturing those skills in others. I derive immense pleasure from helping others to discover the endless joys (and occasional frustrations) of painting, and to progress, whether they taking their first tentative steps or are seeking to develop their technique and style.
I conduct demonstrations and run workshops (in watercolour) and also tutor painting holidays both abroad and in the UK.

Thanks, Joanne! Not only have you inspired me, I'm quite excited about painting a Snowdrop. I deeply appreciate your generosity for making and sharing these videos (especially at this time). Being creative and picking up my brushes is a great way to get lost in something as wonderful as watercolours!

Thank you again, Joanne! So generous of you to do this and hope you get more w/c paper so you can do more. On my walk this morning, I picked up a cluster of fall leaves (kinda late) that I think I might challenge myself to use as a subject. Something about fall leaves really speak to me.

@cathybrillhart3890 4 года назад

I'm so happy I found you here on RU-vid. You are an inspiration and I'm loving exploring watercolor. Also using a limited palette is always appealing to me. So many people seem to think the more color the better. I find it too confusing to the eye. Besides you can make a myriad of colors from just three primaries. Thanks so much.

@JBOONTOM 4 года назад

A limited palette is the key to successful painting so glad that you are enjoying the tutorials

Hi Cathie thanks for your lovely message its great that you are enjoying the tutorials. You can use a white crayon or a piece of candle wax and the good news is both wont break the bank 😅

@adorawang3559 4 года назад

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much! Joanne, I followed you on Instergram without knowing that I tried out the poppies loose water colour paining featured on another RU-vid channel. I guess I just love your fluid and seemingly casual style! Will you open a series of course/online schools to allow more of your fans from your encouraging teaching style? I have been looking around for 3 years (no joke) for something more systematic but did not succeed. I really want to get better on watercolour and if you open a school I will be the first member for sure!!!

@adorawang3559 4 года назад

Sorry I have to add that I have less interest learning from different styles from various teachers on ArtTutor. I know you are featured there...

@JBOONTOM 4 года назад

Adora its so great you are enjoying these lessons. There are many other tutorials from me via ArtTutor and SAA all free. You can join ArtTutor and receive lots of tutorials from myself and other artists, its a great site. For now I have limited equipment so am posting these free lessons during lock down and hope to continue in the future.

@louisedubois7375 2 года назад

Love all your videos Joanne - thank you for your generosity! One question: when you let your painting dry and then went back in to highlight certain areas around the flower, did you wet the entire paper again and, if not, how to you manage to not get marks where the wet and dry paper meet? Thanks again for your generous spirit!!

@JBOONTOM 2 года назад

Thank you Louise. When I go back in the paper is dry I use my softening off technique to avoid hard edges.

@JVSwailesBoudicca 3 года назад

I have been painting detailed architecture in watercolour for years and suddenly want a change = to looser work ! So I have chosen your vids to study because you explain, and show well, the steps. I would like to ask you if you think masking fluid is as good as wax please ? It is a pleasure to subscribe .

@JBOONTOM 3 года назад

Firstly thank you for subscribing. My personal choice would be wax resist or skillfully leaving the whites, although this is not always easy. I find masking fluid is a good option but not for me as previously I have ruined my brushes and often found it difficult to remove from the paper without damage! I also think that masking can make us lazy I like to keep myself on my toes by thinking ahead and leaving the white paper. Masking fluid in my opinion makes a painting stiff and lacking in that loose fresh appeal that I so love 💘 If you are enjoying my tutorials please do check out my new Patreon channel www.patreon.com/joanneboonthomas

@monicaj3023 2 года назад

I absolutely love watching and following you paint. I have purchased 2 lessons now and plan on doing more. I have a question. You mention Overworking a piece. Could you give an example of a piece that is overworked and one that is not. I need a visual example because I have a feeling that I may overwork some of my pieces and I don't have the trained eye yet. Thank you !

@JBOONTOM 2 года назад

Hi Monica Sorry I cant share an example here but my aim is to keep the painting loose and fresh. When a painting is overworked with too many washes they become dull and loose the transparency that is the essence of watercolour. The painting will turn opaque . Meaning it will not let any light through your paper, making the final product look dull and muddy.

@monicaj3023 2 года назад

@johncowburn4444 4 года назад

Hi Joanne, really lovely painting - you make it look so easy - but it's not, as I find out when I try to recreate your work! One question - despite all the water you applied to the painting, the paper looks as though it has hardly buckled at all, what paper is it? John

@JBOONTOM 4 года назад

Hi John a paper I use most of the time Bockingforx 200lb (425gsm) not surface. No need to stretch and takes bags of water

Fabulous painting Joanne. Just two questions... where can you buy wax resist??? and don’t you have to remove the wax from the painting??

@JBOONTOM 3 года назад

Hi Tricia you don't need to buy wax resist I just use old bits of candle wax or a wax crayon. When applied to the paper it acts as a resist and keeps the paper white, once down it does not come off so use sparingly
