📜On PAPER, I’ve used Meeden and Artisto for many years, and you’ll see me use one or the other in most of my tutorials. My Meeden paper suggestion is 100% cotton, has a really great texture and is finer grade. My Artisto paper recommendation is student grade, handles lots of water, (still good for wet on wet) and is a bit less expensive.

Awesome . Most beautiful sunflower I’ve ever seen in watercolour . Those white spaces make such a difference to the overall appearance. Love it .

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

Those white spaces do dont they? They are quite powerful in paintings. I hope you will give this a try friend. Its lots of glazing and layers. Tip- allow the layers to dry completely before glazing over them, so you dont mix the under painting as much. Have fun most of all and let your imagination flow!

[@trishmancuso2951]

I would love to see more drawing tutorials with the flower thank you for sharing your gift

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

Hi Trish, I have lots of little tips I use to draw flowers in my Drawing, sketching Playlist, Here are a few I hope they help kzbin.info/aero/PLGvRyB1lQxymi2WQCfDJjFF3J9oE7KSdS&si=15p7yepWzjbsRQqi

[@lorikeen1603]

❤ Debbie, when are you selling your pink paint brushes ? How much will they be and how do you order them and buy them

[@creeksidehomeschoolers]

This is so fun!! I love painting my flowers with brush stokes the best too! It's loose and free. Please continue to make those are well! I absolutely adore the Indian Paintbrush flower tutorial!! Just my style! We have those flowers all over our area in Texas, but as it's getting hot they are dying off along with the purple thistles, bluebonnets, dewberries. The yellow tops are still hanging in there along with others. I can't remember all their names. I love your tutorials thanks so much for sharing!

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

IM so glad you enjoy my style and teaching. Its how I learned best as well. Dewberries hmmm. going to have to google that one! Lets keep playing and having fun!

[@lizadivine3785]

Really lovely yet again!

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

Thank you Liza, I always enjoy painting these beauties every year! they are so grand, and just happy flowers~ I hoe you will give them a try :-)

[@ChantelleArts]

This looks so stunning, I might have to give this a go ☺☺

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

Yes indeed I think you will really enjoy it. It’s really just about glazing layers so make sure you let the layers dry in between and if you want to donate 250 you can pick up the Etsy tutorial kit with drawing and swatches or email me, and of course, I will share the drawing with you. Also on my community page. Most of all have fun make it your own and enjoy.🎨🖌️
