Cute and Easy Watercolour Vase of Flowers

Flowers and Foliage episode 23: Cute and Easy Watercolour Vase of Flowers
You enjoyed the house plant painting so much I decided to put together a range of gorgeous flower vases for you to paint. These cute and easy vases of flowers are a wonderful way to spend an hour.
These are 4 brand new designs featuring a guide on how to paint a clear glass vase and how to make the stems look realistic inside.

I am a sweet pea aged 68 and have learned such a lot. Thank you so much Harriet x

[@deWintonPaperCo]

You are so welcome!

[@sandrapudoff]

Love how simple you made the lillies.

[@jenscloset]

I love mini's too!!

[@carolyncibik8429]

Thanks!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Wow Carolyn thanks so much, your support is really everything to us.

Muito delicado e lindo amei.🇧🇷beijos.

[@oropendolastrada5935]

Me encanta su pintura y la manera tan clara de explicar los pasos, sobre todo porque el inglés no es mi lengua materna. Muchas gracias!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks!

[@dmfitzpatrick7694]

So fabulous! I love your style of teaching.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you so much!

[@rosemarydanson4158]

These are so pretty. I might have a go at making some birthday cards using these flowers

[@deWintonPaperCo]

You should!

[@kimotten9885]

I love these miniatures - I'm looking forward to doing them as a grouping as you've done here, as well as possibly painting a larger version of one vase for additional practice. Also, it's so convenient to have 4 separate "projects" to work on simultaneously and sequentially; nice that the drying time happens without needing to wait for it or come back later!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

That sounds like a great idea. I love to see people interpreting my tutorials and making them their own.

[@kathiecranston1577]

I do very much enjoy your videos Harriet! Just touches my heart. I've gone on to hospice as of last week, as the cancer & COPD are worsening. I'm having a harder time just doing anything. Loving your painting though! GOD BLESS YOU & THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH DEAR❣ ~from Kathie in Lebanon,Tennessee 😇

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you Kathie, I'm glad these tutorials bring some joy xx

[@susanshirley7846]

Prayers to you Kathie. Bless your ❤️. ...Dear Lord please touch Kathie with your healing hands! We praise you and glorify your mighty name in Jesus name "Amen🙏❤️

[@ewigginton1]

I think I may finally be ready to be a patreon! Thank you so much for your videos!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Oh Ellen thank you! Well the first of the month is the best day to do it!

[@erinkilbride1536]

Great instruction. Nice pace and easy to follow. I like that you mention the other tutorials that are available too. Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@paolabickley8822]

You make it look so easy. Gorgeous little plants ❤️

[@deWintonPaperCo]

So nice of you

[@paolabickley8822]

@deWintonPaperCo I had a go of painting some little potted plants today and it definitely wasn't so easy 😁 They were OK, but nothing like your quality

[@rosemarywhitehead9052]

Lovely. Thanks so much for your tutorials

[@deWintonPaperCo]

You’re welcome 😊

[@sunnyflower77]

Beautiful and inspiring 👌

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you, I hope it brought a little bit of joy today

[@lyndeanezjoppp00the93]

Beautiful!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kathrynledward2037]

Love this painting Harriet and your pretty nails also! I’m waiting for my brushes to arrive so I can paint along 😀

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Yay! Thank you!

[@Jules-fl8yq]

I really enjoyed tackling this one. The lily flowers were the biggest challenge for me to get the realistic shapes. The Picasso vase is relatively simple but really striking. Happy Christmas to you all. 🎄

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Yes it’s fun putting that strong black line over the colourful shapes

[@mbtvalli]

Masterful!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks!

[@frances7885]

[@kathrynledward2037]

Hi Harriet have you done a video tutorial on forget me not at all? I really don’t know how you find time to do all these all with your full time job but I love watching and painting along. Thanks to your super teaching and easy listening videos 😀

[@deWintonPaperCo]

I've got a PDF worksheet in my etsy shop

[@marieanderson6311]

Love your paintings!! It would be helpful if you could zoom in while you paint.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

We do now, we were just working out how to do itn

[@gitaraujo01]

Maravilhoso!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks for watching!

[@withrynz962]

Wow, incredibly easy to follow. However, drawing pot shapes is harder than it looks 😂

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Yeah I always need a few goes to get a pot shape i'm happy with. i just think keep it simple with the basic shape and then you can always add extra bits once you're happy with the main shape

[@shider4782]

Very good🌹👍

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@dulanjalithrikawala9241]

Your art works are soo beautiful. I interested.I asking you a fever. Plz when you vedio zoom a little from the up cam.itI'll be more nice to watch the vedio 😊

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Dont worry we get into zooming as you go along.

[@susanpettit8529]

Lovely work! Can you tell me the name of the brushes please, I didn’t catch it. I’m in Australia but I imagine Amazon should have them? 🙂

[@deWintonPaperCo]

They are a brand called Pro Arte

[@susanpettit8529]

@@deWintonPaperCo Thank you so much, I love your painting so I’m subscribing!

[@grahampursey3685]

Name of brush also price

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Hi Graham, I would appreciate a more polite approach but you can find the details in the episode notes

[@suzieblair8089]

Ladies, I don't think Harriet will see my note, because the video is two years old, but was wondering if one of you could tell me what size do you think the vases are. I know she keeps using the term miniature, but I am not sure what that means to her. Thank you for any help. suzie

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Hi Suzie! I still see new messages. These vases are about 3 to 4 cm tall

[@suzieblair8089]

Thank you very much Harriet.

[@marlodelacruz8749]

Its so cute but its kind a hard to see because its not so focus

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks for your comment!
