I think they are wonderful especially for the beginner who doesn't wants to practice a lot play a lot and not worry about the cost when starting out~ Happy painting friend, and most of all fun, play and enjoy this beautiful medium! That's what its all about :-)
Yes! Thank you! For some im sure they are sick of my repeating it, but my learning style, I hear it, and until its an engrained pattern for me, It doesnt stick. Its how I learned best decades ago. Have fun! Im glad my teaching style resonates for you :-)

My pleasure 😊 I LOVE painting with complementary colors. You could use all different color combinations too, complentary, monochromatic, analgous! Go wild :-) Most of all enjoy ~
I painted this tutorial today! I am very much a beginner, this turned out beautifully - feeling very pleased with myself! I am so grateful! Thank you Debbie!
Thank you! 😊 I hope it inspired you to give it a try, this drawing is on my website debbiewalkerart.com under free resources you can download as well. Give it a try, these colors are so beautiful together, especially that sky blue from MeiLiang, Cerluean maybe from Winsor Newton. Happy playing friend!
Thank you, These two colors together are so beautiful and vibrant~ I hope you give this a try. It was a lot of fun. I believe the free drawing may be on my website under FREE RESOURCES if not let me know I have the 2.50 tutorial companion kit, or you can email me debbiewalkerart@gmail.com. Happy painting friend.
I totally enjoyed watching you paint this and am eager to play around with one particular technique you used. Letting water softly pull the color up is just a beautiful look. Thanks bunches. 💖
I’m a new subscriber today..🎉 I’ve been watching and trying your tutorials. I love your style so much. Thank you for sharing. One of my favorite things you say ‘oops’ ❤
Welcome!! LOL, yeah I get a lot of "oops" moments, and I hope its elpful for you all that make those oops too, and actualy enjoy them~ Thank you for subscribing, Im so happy my teaching style works for you. Happy painting!
I had so much fun with this one, loved these two colors together, and push n pull is always been my favorite go to technique. I hope you give this a try. Happy painting friend.!
Thank you so much Helene! I hoe you give this beautiful Lotus a go. I loved this vibrant violet with the soft blue (cerulean) Play with your favorite color combinations, happy painting and mostly have fun!
It's so helpful how you actually show and explain how you paint in detail. I've learned so much about technique from you! This may be a silly question, but could you show how you "wash and rinse" your brush on camera? I also appreciate that you offer the drawings of your flowers, that helps me a lot, since I'm not great at drawing. Thank you!
You are so welcome! It is how I learned best as well, so naturally how I teach. Im so happy it works for you too. I will definitely show that for you, I have in some videos, but maybe more often~ I have my little ceramic waterwell, and I thoroughly wash my brush with the water on one side, then rinse it good, scraping it alongside of well till its clear. So important because watercolors are very translucent and if you don't you will carry the water to your next color and can cause a dull muddy result. After rinsing I dab off my brush on a paper towel as well and can see if it is clear and clean before going into my next pigment. I hope that helps~ Happy painting friend. You inspired me to share a short video on the basics like this for beginners xo
You are so welcome! it a fun technique I’ve used it for decades, It made blending so easy for me. Have fun and I hope to continue to give you easy and fun tips and techniques.🎨🌸
Im so glad you enjoyed watching, watercolors is very relaxing for me to also watch and do. I loved the soft blue with the virbant purple. I hope you give this a try and play with you favorite colors. Happy painting!
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy i am a acrylic medium, but your technique made me want to try water colour as a medium. Its very different from acrylic. Im going to give this a try for sure now, thnk you and keep making these amazing videos ❤️😊
Thank you so much! It is truly my pleasure to share with you and im so happy that my teaching style resonates for you. I hope you give this a try Happy painting! You can create your own color combinations too, I loved this vibrant violet with light blue.
I’m so glad you’re here and my tutorials are working for you. What fun to have a subscriber from Finland! You must have beautiful flowers there, sending love from Southern California to you
Thank you Susue~ I hope you give them a try. I loved this vibrant violet with the pastel blue. Such a pretty combination. Happy painting Friend! You can grab the little tutorial kit with worksheets and drawing if is helps too!
I can’t wait for you to give them a try either so much fun and you can really play with the combinations, although I loved this lights sky blue with that vibrant purple! Happy painting, and have fun🎨🖌️
You are so welcome, It is my pleasure. I hope you try this, and use your favorite color combination. I Loved the violet with the lighter sky blue. Happy painting!
Thanks so much 😊 I hope you give it a try, once you get the feel for this technique you will find it easy and use it all the time like I do! Happy painting and mostly have fun .
Thank you! Cheers! And I’m so glad you found me and you’re enjoying my tutorials and what friend to have you here from France I hope to one day visit there happy painting friend🌸🎨
Good morning. I have never been a big fan of purple but I must say you made a fan out of me. I think the blue did it. It's always so nice to have something new to try. It will make me step out of my box with this color.
Good morning Ann. Thats why I went here. I LOVED it in combination with the light blue. and just a tiny touch of Opera Rose/Quin Magenta. What else I love is the complimentary colors purple andgreen which always create a beautiful color palette. Im so happy you are going to try a new color palette, its fun right?
I'm glad I watched this one. I was so close to give up on watercolors today. Everything I tried I failed. But your video gave me hope it is easy to follow and will definitely try it. Thank you so much
Glad I could help! Watercolors is all about techniques unique to this medium. Once you get those, you will find it to be the most beautiful and magical medium there is~ I hope I can continue to in spire you, and Happy painting.
Thank you! Yes! You CAN do it, it is just learning and practicing the brushstrokes, there are just a few basic ones, I use over and over. Practice and warm up a lot, and you will develope that wonderful muscle memory and be painting florals beautifully in no time~ Most of all have fun and enjoy :-) Florals are imperfect and beautiful.
Perfect! I do the same Tina, I watch things a few times, then I go in to paint it. Im so glad you are going to play with this. If you wold like me to draw for you just shoot me an email. I drew this freehand and forgot to scan it :-) Have fun gf
Thank you so much Sue, Im looking forward to see you soon! You will do great with this tutorial. Make sure and grab the drawing (I linked in the description) xo
Thanknyou! I’m somewhat new here (6 months) and learning. I am working on an e book and hope to have beautiful watercolor books one day! Thank you for you support and encouragement . Here is a link to my ebook in progress. tinyl.io/9EtI Happy painting 🎨🖌️
Hi Debbie, I`ve never done "flowers" before but after watching your Tutition videos you`ve now really inspired me to give them a try . I`m going to try them for a few months and see how I get on doing them as your tuition is outstanding and I love the way you name your colours in full, and what brush sizes you intend to use and throughout tell us everything your doing step by step. It all helps us learners immensely . I just love your blending and "translucent "style in another Video of yours I watched recently , so yes its lift of time & all systems go. PS.Out of interest have you done a bunch of Sweet Pea flowers painting Video at all ?
Good morning Tommy, Im glad you enjoyed my tutorial(s) and teaching style, its how I learned best as well. I love the unique characteristics of watercolors from its ability to be translucent to its vibrant, acrylic like qualities. Its pure magic for me :-) I have done sweet peas here is a tutorial for you. I will do them again soon, as I love painting them (even though I Cant seem to get them to grow here in California :/) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xDV5A3CKF2I.htmlsi=Bw5Id_Z0YsQ3zrJ2 Have fun!
yes sweetpeas are very heat sensitive and many varieties struggle in hot weather . Can I assume you have tried Lathyrus vestitus, commonly called the "Wild Sweet Pea " in California I believe . You should have luck growing the "Cupani" sweet peas variety , they are reasonably good in hot weather countries as long as you "tend" them . Soak the peas for 24 hours before planting to help them germinate Make sure they never dry out too much in the soil, so keep the soil moist in a hot country or they will die on you. Happy Gardening , best wishes, Tom. @@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy
I have not tried those, I will definitely look them up. Interesting, You are a wealth of good information, now I am inspired :-) I had given up on sweet peas... Now to search for them on internet and nurseries. I also am ready to paint another style of sweet pea soon! Happy gardening and painting most of all have fun~
Debbie. So glad i found you. You’re an excellent teacher. Im going to try this (again) tomorrow. Your technique of painting and then using a damp brush to pull out the color is excellent ..unfortunately im having trouble with teh consistency of paint…often it’s too dry….or too wet….lol. That’s ok. I’ll try and try again. Thank you!!!!!!
Hi~ Yes, that is something you have to practice and get that feel for it, Here is one of my videos, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UkKxUG-TsCI.htmlsi=Z4HenHmOE-03-AS3 The more you practice, I promise you will get better. The key is applying the paint/water ratio so that it is glistening on the paper, no puddling, or paint moving, it is just shiny. Then you can go in with only a damp brush and pull out the color. I hope that helps, You will GEt it, and it does get easier, once you get that perfect blend you will get so excited!
Sometimes I paint from photos I take. This one I hand sketched because years ago I painted literally dozens of these for commissions, cards and things. If you would like the sketch I can sketch it out and send to you via email. DebbieWalkerArt@gmail.com :-)
Hi! it is great isnt it. Well I use mostly the Meeden palettes, but this one was a wodnerful creator I found on IG. She has created numerous palettes for me. (numerous!) Here is her info. Let her know I sent you , im not affiliated but she doesnt always make these because they are time consuming. Here you go!

I purchased my second set of Mei Liang paints, hoping to get the exact colors you are using here. I don’t seem to have the beautiful red violet and the fresh purple is missing, as is a sap green. Your painting sings.
You’re right about the sap...I’m not concerned by the sap. It is easily matched, but the fresh purple is missing and the red violet is very different from what I see in your piece. I will try to make do with Mungyo and Grabie. Thanks for your help.
Any tips for getting clean lines at the edge of the petals? The edges of my petals are all fuzzy. Even the edges of my leaves are fuzzy and not crisp. 😢
So interesting I thought I answered this... hmmm so. if this is a duplicate pardon.. When painting wet into a wet area, you will get soft edges. If you like those crisper edges paint wet into dry paper or paint. This will give you much crisper lines and good for details. Also Hot pressed paper will give you crisper lines. Here is a playlist I created for some of these techniques as well. Hope it helps! ru-vid.com/group/PLGvRyB1lQxykLi0zaDPArWVOjQ-_Hz3zA&si=VLNz09H9cOcgQgKs
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy Yes, yes I am painting wet onto dry paper. I'm wondering if I just don't have the experience yet of knowing which water-to-paint ratio works best for achieving crisp edges, so the water ends up bleeding, even though the paper is dry. Thank you for replying!
I have a beautiful porcelain two-well water dish and I use the right side to wash my brush and the paint off, and the left to then rinse my brush. This is the wel I use and lvoe it made beautifully. 2 WELL WATER Amazon link amzn.to/3KsHzRMm Meeden Direct Link - (For outside of US) bityl.co/KHILbityl.co/KGgQ Because watercolors are so light and transparent, if your brush is not completely clean of paint, you will carry that paint color into the next, and you can end up with a dirty result. I hope that helps Happy painting!
Hi Lois! I use two different ones, the small journals, which I have a library of past years, labeled, and cataloged for reference. And many times I use the larger 9X12 Artisto pads because its easier for all of you to see what im doing. Watercolor Pads 9x12 amz.run/7Jep And Watercolor Pads 5.5x8.5 amz.run/7Jeo I believe here it was my smaller pads with the spiral rings..
If you email me I will send you either the drawing I offered for this for free, or the link for the 5.00 Tutorial Companion kit with the drawing, color swatch, Original painted image, warm ups and brushstrokes to practice, and go along with the tutorial. Debbiewalkerart@gmail.com Happy painting Im happy you are going to give this a try!
Hi Jean, interesting, yes, normally I would make a shadowy color. I am quite spontaneous, (in case you hadnt noticed lol) and may have just missed that in the particular area your referring to~ Darn, lets see if I can help. Here is the link. Ill look for your request and of course approve you. What is your fb name? Here is the link. facebook.com/groups/781794610217892/
What is your policy on painting your exercises and sharing them with friends? I did this beautiful lotus and two people asked for a print, my daughter and her friend. They would not be for sale. I’ve been doing watercolor for over 20 years and never went mercantile, and I do not want to violate anyone’s copyright or ownership. Thanks.
@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy Yes! It was so fun. I tried to get as close to your colors as possible. Thank you, thank you, thank you for being such a dedicated and generous teacher!
