Hi there, thank you for your beautiful tutorial. Do you maybe have the original picture to trace for me to download please
@tracymoadwatercolors4750Ай бұрын
I am so sorry for just now responding! I haven't found a way to have a download on KZbin. I'm working on trying to figure this out, so far the only way I know is to send an attachment via email. Otherwise, you could try looking on Pixabay for an image you liked and download and trace from there. They have a ton of royalty free images to choose from! Let me know if you would like me to email the outline 👍

Utterly fascinating technique and video. I almost did not watch the whole thing, but decided to, since I am struggling with a lilac look that I like. I definitely got ideas. I loved that you enjoyed the process too! (I don't dislike the lilacs I've been doing, but they are not have the "heart" that yours do!) Loved it!
@tracymoadwatercolors47504 ай бұрын
Thank you so much, and I hope you have fun trying some new ideas! It really is so important to have fun and keep trying new things. It's too easy to stick to what feels familiar and grow stagnant!

Do you make templates to share for those that can’t sketch an elephant!?
@tracymoadwatercolors47505 ай бұрын
I haven't done that as of yet. What you can do however is find a picture you like, (Pixabay has a ton of loyalty free images), Get some tracing paper, use a bright window as a makeshift light box, tape the image to your window, tracing paper over the top, and trace around the image for an outline. Now to transfer it to the watercolor paper: tape the outline to your window, watercolor paper over the top, and lightly trace the outline onto the watercolor paper! This is a great way to practice painting a subject without the added stress of spending a ton of time trying to get the drawing just right!, hope that makes sense!

Love this!! Do you have a link for the Holbein flat brush?
@tracymoadwatercolors475010 ай бұрын
I wish I did! I've looked for these brushes and I can't find them anywhere in the U.S.( I got mine at a Tom Lynch workshop years ago) I'm sure I could find something comparable if I looked, but I just keep grabbing for these for now...until the thing falls apart anyway! I would look for a flat 3/4" synthetic blend that releases paint and water easily, and that has a nice spring to it! I like Princeton for watercolor brushes and use them most of the time. Im kind of particular about the handles so tend toward the wooden ones when shopping for new brushes...personal preference 😉
