How to paint flowers. Colorful sunflowers in watercolor. In this lesson I demonstrate how to paint a sunflower flower.
I hadn’t practiced gradient washes for awhile Debbie and its been very helpful. Unless I missed it somewhere in the article, I found I cannot get a damp brush by just scraping off the water on the meeden waterwell. I have to dab it on my towel before going to the paper or there’s too much water. I apologize if I missed that between the two articles but it really helped that I noticed you doing it on this article. Thanks for making your set up visible. Blessings my dear teacher. 💗Rita
This is gorgeous Debbie ~ I love this~ adding glases just popped out that sunflower 🌻 It became fluffy kinda! Lol! In a good way! Great idea for texture in the middle of the flower too! Hopefully, I can do this one soon! I also dab off extra water to wear my paper towel is soaking wet! Lol! So, we are not the only ones doing this~ much love ❤️✝️🙏🏻
THANK YOU!!! I learned so very much perusal you and listening to you explanations of what you were doing!! I never took art classes through high school. My art had always been singing and there wasn’t enough time in the school day to add painting. Ive recently (the last few years), have been really wanting to learn watercolor. It’s been a learning process, just on having the right materials to do it with. Thank you for the lessons on technique!!! This will really help me!! I will have to do some playing with my paints now😊
I love perusal you and your valuable advice, you’re a good teacher. Can I ask what paints you are using for this painting, because you wet your watercolour set but the palette you are using look like tube paints. I’m a little confused, I have just bought the Mei Lieng set and thought you would be using those.
This is a beautiful piece. Can’t wait to try it. A suggestion (take or leave) is it possible to zoom in your camera a bit more to make it easier to see your brush strokes? I tend to zoom in myself on these articles (not just yours, but other watercolor artists’ as well), but it would be better for creators to film a bit closer up from the get go.
Thank you for the real time lesson. ..and no music. It gives me the time to see the full process, and how you’re going into right brain thinking. So many of the YouTube lessons are now sped up and they use ‘sleeping pill elevator music’. Both are so distracting. From my experience, no teacher, in a formal classroom, would ever speed up their lessons or use sleeping music. So, thank you. You’re a rare find. Please, don’t speed up your articles.
