I just started watercoloring. My dad was a famous artist and sadly, I had no interest in art and he passed away before I discovered that I liked to paint. Thank you so much for this detailed class. I learned more from you than any other tutorial Ive watched. You’re my teacher now, thank you so much!

Hey jenna, I just had the thought " what if there was a watercolor paper workbook to go along with everyday watercolor?" Thought it would be awesome to have basic sketches and practice drills for muscle memory purposes. And also a great marketing idea. LOL I struggle with basic sketching and thought I would be good if I had a practice sheet just to get used to sketching, lines, compound stroke, S curves, & C curves. Just a thought I wanted to share. Thanks for all the great tutorials and tips in your videos that go along with your book, they are a great big help.

Definitely managing the stem is what’s tough for me. I’ll have a nice thin line then bloop it up with a little wonky wiggle wiggle, so it isn’t smooth. Then I have to thicken the entire line which is no bueno. Or I’ll have some nice natural leaf action going and then my arm gives out and creates a nice rectangle leaf that sticks out like a sore thumb. Thank you for this series!! I have your book, I’m just a very visual person, so these videos help tremendously.
@JennaRaineyChannel
@JennaRaineyChannel 5 лет назад
Hahaha, I love "wonky wiggle wiggle," that's great. Sometimes we just need to embrace those wonky wiggles -- nature isn't always so smooth! Keep up that practice and I know you'll only get better! Thanks for watching and the support! xo

@Jenna Rainey these are SUPER videos. Challenge after 10 pages (still) at the end of the leaf, any style, Im endin up with a blob when I take the brush off the page. I dont notice the in other strokes. Too much water? More pigment? the paint is thick-almost opaque (you really used light and dark washes). Any suggestions?
@JennaRaineyChannel
@JennaRaineyChannel 4 года назад
Great question! Sounds like there's too much water. Try less water and make sure to wipe your brush on the lid of your cup before painting. Also, if you have a paper towel, you can lift some of the excess water you didn't want. Or you can try taking your brush, drying it off on your paper towel and lifting the water with your dry brush (and repeat until puddle is gone). Hope that helps!

Which would you consider the closest, if you've had any experience with these? 🌸

Despite hours and hours of practicing leaves - with your same brush, paper, and paint, I cannot get a consistently good leaf!! Now, the water ratio video was a HUGE help on improving this. But still, the area where I push the brush down (to make the fat part of the leaf) always looks MUCH lighter than the tips - and not in a cute way. I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
