Oh *WOW* thank you so much for this tutorial (and for creating the awesome template)!

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

I’m so happy that you like it! 🥰 (Hopefully the template will be helpful! 🤞) Have a fantastic day! 😊

[@treesapgrl]

@@lieslsartisticstudioI wish I could express *just* *how* *helpful* your template will be; me and drawing... I know if I would consistently do it, I'd get better at it just like with watercolor in general, but I always struggle to even begin because NERVES. Let's just say, my neurodivergence is definitely a mixture of being a blessing and a curse. 💜 Thanks again, Liesl! ~Amber

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Ha ha! 😉 Well I’m glad I could help out then! 😁 Sometimes it’s just nice to just go straight into the fun of painting without the task of drawing it first! Thanks Amber 🥰

[@colleencooke1038]

Hi Liesl, I hope you don’t mind but Jenna Rainey recommends artists on her channel with under 10k subscribers and asked if anyone would like to recommend an artist. I put your channel forward as I think you do such an amazing job .

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Aw! 🥰 Colleen…. you are so sweet for doing that!! She is an amazing watercolorist and I am so flattered that you would even think to mention my little channel. 💕 This truly makes my day to hear that. Thank you. 🥲

[@Larimuss]

Thank you for this great tutorial! Just purchased this sketch as it’s very affordable and glad to contribute something to your great art. This looks like a perfect simple one to get started. It would be great if we had a small part 2 on doing the background though. I’d also love to know how you deal with the sketch lines from the pencil. I find it really hard to make them not visible.

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

I’m so glad you liked this tutorial! I hope you enjoy giving it a try. (And thank you for your support in purchasing an outline! 🥰) As far as pencil lines go, that will probably always be a bit of a problem when it comes to watercolors. 🙄 But sometimes what I like to do, is after drawing the outline on my watercolor paper very lightly, I’ll also take a kneaded or moldable eraser and dab that on the lines. This takes off any loose graphite and actually makes the lines even lighter than what you drew originally. (I show sort of an example of this in this tutorial if you’d like to check it out. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3SvppSZZbmab6csi=SZwWLc79OKH1e9JA Then when I’m done painting and everything is completely dry, sometimes I can go back in and erase the lines a little bit more. But sometimes even with my best efforts pencil lines are still visible. I hope this helps though! Thanks for watching!

[@colleencooke1038]

Thank you Liesl , I finished this painting and I’m so happy with the result.

[@MichelleHaines]

This is so pretty. My sister and I are doing it together. We've had some problems with cauliflowers when we use the clear water following the pink even though we blot our brushes on paper towels first. We are uses Arches. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

What a fun sister activity to do together! I’m not sure if this advice will help or not because I can’t see exactly what’s going on with your painting, but usually when you get that cauliflower effect it’s because the paint is drying at different rates. For example, if you paint the pink on first it will begin to dry a little bit, then when you add the wet water next to it, the water starts to spread into the pink paint, but will eventually be stopped because the pink is getting too dry (creating the cauliflower look). When I add my water to spread and lighten the paint, I also repaint or re-wet the pink paint with the water so the entire area is wet, then everything is wet and will all dry at about the same rate. Something else you can try is the wet on wet technique and paint clean water on the entire petal (BEFORE any paint is applied) THEN add the pink paint and spread it around with a damp brush. This way again, everything will be wet in an even amount. Hope this helps! 🤞 Good luck and happy painting! 😊

[@tonihayashi7484]

Thank you for answering my sister’s question! Your answer makes a lot of sense to me. Thank you for contributing to the joy of our sisterhood!

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Sister bonds are so very important! There’s nothing else quite like it. 🥰 I have two sisters myself, it’s a rare occasion we get to see each other in person, but it’s always SO much fun we we do! Thanks for watching you two! Have a terrific day!

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Thanks for watching! Take care. 🥰

[@carmie2431]

could i do a background? if so what color would you recommend?

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Of course you can! If it were me, I think I’d stick to the color scheme already going on and do a light pink, or maybe even a light yellow or green? I would definitely keep the background lighter in value than the flowers though so it doesn’t over power them. I wish you the best of luck with your painting!

[@carmie2431]

Liesl, Thank you so much for taking time to answer me. I drew it out already and am ready to paint. Maybe wet-on-wet using one of the colors you mentioned. Much appreciated. @@lieslsartisticstudio
