Wonderful, My goodness, that is exactly my goal with my videos to take any intimidation out, simplify things, and just discover, play and have fun! Happy drawing friend!

Hi. Debbie, you are an excellent teacher! You can draw so perfectly and I really enjoyed this tutorial! The way you curled up the petals is beautiful and so interesting. Thank you for sharing your talent! ❤ Helene

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

You are so welcome, This technique helped me over the years and made my brain able to understand the shapes much easier. Im glad it helped you too I.m not naturally a good drawer I now use lots of guidelines and familiar shapes and it makes it a lot easier! Happy pdrawing friend!

[@lynnklein9634]

You make this look easy. I have a peony photo from a friends garden and have struggled drawing it. Now I have the tools to do it. Thank you so much.

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

Wonderful, I have a drawing I would share with you as well if you like Lynn, Just email me [e-mail] Have Fun! These guidelines save me every time in getting those petals right!

[@neelofurkhan7450]

Your lessons are sooooo easy to follow for beginners who might get disheartened otherwise

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

Im so glad you are finding them doable and inspiring. That is my goal that those who might be intimadted by watercolors and give up will find easy tips to make watercolors more friendly! It is such a beautiful medium when you get the hang of a few technes. Happy painting, Im so glad you are here~

[@jillbalsam2507]

I have the same rotating brush holder you have(without the mirrors). I put rice in the bottom of the compartments so my brushes stand up straight instead of flopping around. Made a big difference. 😊

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

WOW Jill! That's a great hack, it is annoying how they flop all about. I'm definitely going to do that today.

[@RockyRoadCreationsbyDiana]

What a great idea!

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

Hi Jill, I filled my brush holder with sand and it works fabulously. Great tip!

[@jillbalsam2507]

@@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy Sand works too. Not too much of that in New York City. I’m thrilled it’s working for you. I could not stand those brushes flopping around. 👍

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

@@jillbalsam2507 yes, it was quite annoying. Sand is perfect !

[@DebbieKaatz]

Wow! I just came across this drawing video of flowers and needed to rewind to the beginning and start drawing myself. The paint value is great to distinguish the petals that are curling. Thank you so very much for this video! 💕

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

Im so glad you rewinded and I was able to share you something that interested you and inspired you. I love these drawings it makes so much sense to me. Values are such a powerful technique in creating depth, interest. Im so glad to have you here painting with me. Happy drawing and painting frend!

OK…your brush collection looks like my coloured pencil collection! 😂Thanks for this. I love drawing flowers and you make it easier.

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

Oh fun! I’d love to hear about your colored pencil collection! Watercolor pencils? What brand? Fun! Inlive drawing, sketching it is so relaxing I doodle on everything. I’m so glad this simplifies drawing flower perspectives . I will do more too. . This taught my brain to see the flower differently . Have fun my artist friend🌸🎨

You are such a great tutor and I am just beginning this artfelt journey. Do you offer zoom classes and if so, how much, I am 84 years young and would like to paint a flower that looks like a flower before I turn 85.

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

Well how wonderful I think it’s so much fun to have these goals isn’t it and welcome to watercolors. Of course I am a little biased but I think they’re just the most magical beautiful medium there is to paint in. Yes, I offer different zoom classes I occasionally have a zoom class that semi private with up to five or eight students and then I also have private zoom classes, those are a little bit more they’re $65 debbiewalkerart.etsy.com/listing/1528554895/watercolor-privates-worksheets-african and you can email me as well.

I have a small set of Lyra watercolour pencils but most of mine are for adult colouring. I have no delusions about my ability but I’ve always loved playing around with pencils essentially and pens and paint. I’m not Sarah Renae Clark who you may have come across. She has thousands of pencils! I have over 400…Prismacolor, Arteza, Crayola, Lyra mainly. I bought most of them while in England as they weren’t available here. We are SLOWLY getting more art supplies here but nothing like what you can get. Most of our supplies come from Europe, England and Germany mostly. As you know from Winsor and Newton, they are pricey. We just don’t get the inexpensive stuff like Mei Liang. Our cheapest supplies are absolute trash…bed enough to turn even kids off painting forever!!!

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

Interesting I have not come across her but will check her out. I’m learning that what’s available here is just not in other areas. So interesting and unfortunate. Your collections sounds fabulous! I believe we all are crazy talented it just looks Different for each of us. I’ve had students that walked in claiming I have zero talent and leave one of my classes smiling and happy about what they created. Makes me so happy Happybpainting friend and thank you for the insight! 🌸🎨

[@marytesta3003]

The only thing is the porcelain palette doesn’t have a lid. I ordered one from Jackson Art for about the same price snd has a cover. Thank you for a wonderful video.

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

Yes, you are correct. I just use it to really mix small amounts of paint. I actually have a regular pallet with a cover I use for storing my paint day day. You are so welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed it. !

Hi Stacy, I picked that up at my local Homegoods. recently though so they may still have them. They had an entire section with these type of materials. I LOVE clear acrylic, so clean, and this had that pop of irredescent. The closest I found on Amazon recently was this... amzn.to/3PdnyBe

Can you rub out pencil lines once watercolour has dried ?

[@lydiavincent7409]

Do you ever erase your pencil lines after things dry?

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

Occasionally, but usually I use a Needed eraser, and my pencil lines are very very faint so they don’t show. I make them much darker for these tutorials so you can see my lines. another little tip is to use watercolor pencils, and it will dissolve into your painting🎨🖌️
