Oh yes. Definitely yes. Again yes. As a beginner in watercolours I am loving the journey. Sometimes when I'm done with the painting and don't like it, I turn it over and use the back as test paper. If I don't try, I won't learn. I like the idea so much of not getting so stressed about perfection. As a recovering perfectionist I am allowing myself to explore. You are such an encouragement and a blessing to our community. Thank you

I am 76, a super newbie just starting this wc journey and this couldn't be a better vid for me, anyway, to start with. I've recently watched a lot of your vids....am a fan, and quite a few others here on you tube but this one just made me breathe, relax and even though I'm not a sloppy person in other areas of my life, this sloppy looks awesome!! Thanks so much for sharing your time, talent and wisdom!

Welcome aboard!

@JLB0880 7 месяцев назад

Oh my lord this is just what I need. I’m so uptight and a perfectionist in my career, I feel myself burning out. So I pick up my old art supplies for the first time in about 100 years to give my brain something different to do, and I start obsessing about being precise and perfect in this hobby…so tedious. Not fun. I watched your beginner tutorial yesterday and everything you said in the intro had me in tears. I couldn’t wait to get home today to fill tons of paper just practicing press dragon lift 😂 Catharsis! Thank you!!!

@KristyRice 7 месяцев назад

🐲🐉 and how did it go?

@hibawww 7 месяцев назад

omg yes. I just started picking up watercolor (and your vids have been really helpful!). I am a super beginner. The "rules" have been overwhelming to the point where I cant even start anything. Fear of wasting supplies, fear of getting one color mixed into another, fear of planning things wrong. The whole reason I picked up painting was to have a nice relaxing creative activity to have fun with. All the rules are too much for a beginner like me I look forwarding to just playing with things and learning and exploring along the journey

@KristyRice 7 месяцев назад

Okay did you write the script for this video??? 😘😘😘

@takinastabatit 7 месяцев назад

I just started painting too, and my philosophy is "I'll learn the rules later!" :D Having so much fun just mucking around with paints, and learning as I go. Hot tip: get you some nice cotton paper as soon as feasible, it is literally a game changer.

No planning, allow haphazardly placing paint on loosely, happily & you'll get an idea or see an image in laying down 2 or three colors at a time or glazing over a slightly wet area melts into a new image or form or color, intuitive painting begins then I go with the spark some times the mud is beautiful! Much more fun😂 Thanks Kristy just needed you to say that to release my stress of trying so hard.

This year I'm finally using the supplies I got several years ago. Got an expensive Sennelier set (with honey in it) before I knew anything and, yes, bubbles. 🤬 But...I also got a small ten color Daniel Smith set at the same time so I'm using that. My biggest hurdle is the amount of water I'm using. It's either not enough (I'm soaking my pallet beforehand but still) or it's way too much. And I know, the only remedy...is practice. Oh, your brushes are really nice! I got a set a few weeks ago. That dagger brush makes some really cool vines!

@KristyRice 7 месяцев назад

I just love your personality! You really are joyful and funny and fun. I was just lamenting how messy my pallets are, and now I’m going to go with it. No, you’re painting doesn’t look muddy. It’s muted in some areas and relaxing, while making the colors stand out.

This painting turned out absolutely gorgeous! I think we all need permission to be messy. I recently watched another art video about ditching the pencil and sketch directly with a pen. Embrace your lines and your mistakes and grow confident. This is giving me the same feeling of freedom, of enjoying painting. Thanks Kristy for always being an inspiration to nurture my inner child. ❤

Oh, the insanity! Part of my mind is shrinking from the seemingly chaotic style of messy painting, & then another part totally gets what you're saying. Ironically, yesterday I was painting like a 4 year old, lol. It was fun; I did several pages on the very cheap "watercolor paper" (pulp) I recently bought from Walmart. Surprisingly, I don't hate the paper. It's oddly satisfying & freeing.

@KristyRice 7 месяцев назад

I love your idea of saving your paintings whether you like them or not. To drag one out and look at it with fresh eyes can sometimes be so fun! Drag out some pens or your charcoal pencils after you pick a painting and see what ideas come by just drawing some circles or dots or lines or whatever your imagination can think of. I have been pleasantly surprised at what they turn out to look like. I just love your attitude and you have made this beginner believe it is possible to paint if you don't take yourself too seriously. Thank you sweet girl for being you!

@MAFuller 7 месяцев назад

Love you, Kristy! This gives me so much anxiety, lol. I can’t start a new project until my palette is clean, unfortunately. I find it hard to leave my studio if I haven’t cleaned up everything at the end of the day. Sometimes I’ll even wash out my palette mid-project. I know I’m wasting good paint, but the clean water and white paper give me energy. Funny, because I’m not really a neatnik anywhere else in my house.

@KristyRice 7 месяцев назад

When i started painting (during the pandemic) I was ignorant enough to just, well, start. I bought supplies off Amazon and just played I didn't realize there were so many rules. I would only watch videos that addressed what I was trying to to do, let's say trees. Or palm trees. But I just kept going. Not the best paint, paper or brushes. Now I know there are rules I am supposed to follow and structured layers of learning. So I just didn't share that I use the dirty glass to mix a color, I use maybe the "wrong" brush to get what I want. In the back of my mind I keep thinking all the greats did what comes natural. You reenforced my desire to paint how I want. Talent...not so much. Joy and happiness.... Bingo. Thank you so much. And yes, my pallettes are all a mess. You never know what color I might need. ❤ From not so good at following rules. P.S. I bake the same way. Kind of measure, go by feel. I bake breads every week.

I tried doing my version and it’s definitely not nearly as beautifully muted colors because I don’t have a messy palette YET (although I am using your special beautiful palette and haven’t yet found myself letting it get messy because it’s so beautiful) and it was not as natural or flowing but that’s part of this “start sloppy” process and allowing myself to do it felt good. Even if I’m not particularly thrilled with the end result, it was a huge step for me personally because I struggle so much with beating myself up and not giving myself enough credit

So im very type A in life and very detail oriented, but with watercolor im choosing on purpose to be opposite!! We all need a place to be free of what holds us back or drives our need to be perfect. Thats why I love loose florals!! Although, I am finding, as I have become more proficient at watercolor, my natural tendencies do make an appearance and I allow them as long as it without over thinking as soon as it becomes a stress or a strict perfectionism quest; I put on the breaks. I love everything about what you teach and do Kristy! Do let any self doubt or naysayers get you down!! And I won't either even though I'm my only bad critic! ❤❤❤

Choosing on purpose. I adore the deep power this phrase holds for us all in any creative journey!

Wait, do people really leave comments about lightfastness? lol I’m loving the spirit of this video. I’m taking a watercolor class to relearn the medium I had sadly set aside, and as an art major I currently want to focus on creating first, process second. Here’s to a good year of art!

@KristyRice 5 месяцев назад

Love your attitude. Yes lightfastness seems to be a hot hot topic!

literally girl - you have the most expressive soul & talent that is so beautiful and speaks to me!! I cannot even believe how you prove the beauty, color surprises, and depth that can come from this approach (BTW, I love the painting.) I am just beginning and you make me feel so empowered and so much more free to put the brush to paper and that is how I will learn/discover and grow. And not to mention have joy while doing so [isn't that the whole point of any pursuit?] BOOP, BOOP, BOOP! and TY!

Nope nope....i love my water to be clean (use 3 pots, one reds, one bluegreens and one clean).... I do not clean my palet to much, but all has its place😅 But i love the freedom you have in painting

This is totally opposite to my painting style. I’ve even been known to put porcelain palettes into the dishwasher….i plan with detailed pencil drawings, and have a tendency to use a limited palette with lots of colour mixing. But it’s a great loosening up exercise to look for those happy accidents in colour mixes and how paint reacts when thrown around wet on the paper that allows the more uptight of us to expand techniques. These can be incorporated into our more obsessively tightly controlled wet on dry layered washes! I’m not sure where I can find a dirty palette though…

I also paint much more detailed than this in my finest moments but being able to swing to this is sooo helpful for any process

Fear of using the good paper is my big one. I forgive myself that one since I *am* on a very tight budget and I have no fear of which paints I use. (I do clean up palettes a lot because sometimes joy for me IS color mixing! I never understood it and one day it finally clicked)

@KristyRice 7 месяцев назад

Love that!

@suzykeene9298 7 месяцев назад

Using muddy water as a washes of neutral colour is great to do, and usually helps to link all the other colours in the image, as it should because it's made up of the paints you used!!

@KristyRice 7 месяцев назад

That's a great idea!

Wow so lovely! Will have to try to overcome some sensory issues that give me the icks so I can try this! You are not the first one I’ve heard say that being sloppy w watercolor supplies is good, but you are the first one to convince me! Thank you!💖
