DEMO 3 | Watercolour Flowers

[@Bluebird_Legacy]

Amazing!!! so very Beautiful

[@ChanonryArt]

Best demo Ive ever seen. Thank you for teaching and sharing.

[@robynnewman3188]

Beautiful work, could watch you all day. Love your approach & ideas. Thank you so much for sharing, very generous.

[@wakeupuk3860]

As others have said below, PURE MAGIC, love the noise overs 'Shoom, shoom, woosh' what my father did to me when playing, I did to my children and later in mid-life becoming a Maths and then IT Teacher got to know a lovely and rather eccentric Art Teacher Mrs Draper who played music and encourage pupils to sing as they painted. Now 71 and retired took up Oil and Water Colour paper about six years ago, and feel at home painting neat and quaint countryside landscapes but in me is a "Shoom, shoom" wanting to come out and you very much made me want to do so. I have to say much abstract art painting is just a con but yours I don't feel that, you make it look very easy but what you create is beauty and a sense of joy. Certainly going to watch more of your YTs, will try some and most likely just end up making a mess but certainly going to think of my father, my sons and Mrs Draper when doing so.

[@susangiannantonio]

This was one of the best demos I’ve ever seen and I’ve been painting a very long time. What a delight to watch. Thank you Kevin for your generous spirit and for so openly explaining how and why you made your decisions. The painting is exquisite.

[@CindyWigglesworth]

I agree. It was fabulously fun and instructive. And I love the results! Thanks for letting me know about it. I have to play with some of these techniques!

[@gumanmalchouhan9549]

I'm agree this is suryamukhi flowe8

[@LindaArtinger-uc4nr]

This turned out so well for me I can’t stop looking at it❣️lol

[@judyonody7748]

I agree!

[@judyonody7748]

I am amazed! I love your delivery and techniques! More, please!❤❤❤

[@Desertgirl54]

I feel as if he could have stopped at almost any point along the way and it would still have been beautiful!

[@T3po69]

I so LOVE your free, spontaneous, informal, and fun style. I can just tell you would be fun to hang out with! You make me think I can paint. Really love the remark about cauliflower marks. I can never remember what not to do and you make me think I should just paint rather than try to stay within the lines. Thank you for sharing! You have a new subscriber!

[@tmikeporter]

More please, for this watercolor artist. Your technique and narration is inspiring.

[@robinwright9332]

Wonderful tutorial. Beautiful result. I haven't seen anyone paint like you do. It's making me rethink everything! Thank you.

[@priyanvadagambhir1698]

I liked those sounds while painting, it becomes so lively, one gets the feeling as if the demonstration is going on in front of you, very well explained. It's delightful experience to watch the whole painting. Accidently I saw your video..so happy to watch..I will surely try. Lovely.. Thanks 18:26

[@j.m.1806]

A tickle a wiggle a smoosh a splatter Viola! A Masterpiece! seriously wow. I've watched many times and I'm gonna finally give this dance a go. Amazing teaching style Phenomenal artist. More please!?!

[@leslovesart]

This is one of the best demos I have ever seen. Absolutely mesmerizing and what a beautiful piece. Excellent!

[@vickiemeisinger9632]

I am very grateful for this video. I’ve been an artist for years, but watercolor has never been easy for me like the other mediums are. I’ve been wanting to learn from someone how to be better at it, and this video definitely was well-made and instructive! I hope to see more of your work.♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@marysharp9635]

done beautifully too Kevin…thank you for sharing your wonderful work 😊

[@arleenszeliga8324]

This is a fabulous painting, and you are a fabulous painter. I have always wanted to paint this way and have yet to achieve it. I am definitely going to try to paint this picture your way. I am so glad I’m subscribed to you. Can’t wait to watch more of your paintings. Blessings.

[@elainegroom1989]

A master! I loved watching you paint. I don't watch these videos straight through, but this one I finished to the end. So beautiful. Thank you.

[@ArtistKevinChapman]

Cheers and thanks for comments

[@azianabdaziz9968]

OMG, even your initial "blobs" already looking like some lovely flowers. I can imagine my 'blobs' will be unrecognizable even after I have completed the painting. Its really beautiful and I wonder how close can I do if I try ..... I am a beginner at painting though. Thanks for sharing.

[@barbarahutchins9267]

Thank you for this inspiring painting! I am watching before beginning painting today, hoping that some of the free, playful and yet skillful influence will soak into my midstream, tumble around and re-emerge as improvement in my work.

[@ShirleyL.Maurer]

People tell me I paint in a ‘loose’ fashion. Your work is how I wish to paint someday soon. I will begin to practice and see what happens. You are the teacher that students dream about. Thank you so much for your videos💕

[@riesalipschitz3035]

You’ve opened my mind and eyes! Love the spontaneous approach

[@TinyFreya59]

I felt like you really were standing there talking to me in the studio. I’m transitioning from acrylics and a watercolor and I’ve been looking for some basic instruction. You provided verbal and demonstrative instruction in a beautiful, beautiful mix for the novice. Thank you thank you! I especially enjoyed your painting noises. But I don’t think I’ll be able to paint without sound effects now. It was delightful. 😁🙃

[@KarenHagen-c3z]

Great painting! Patience which I need! Maybe one of these days I will loosen up! Thanks for the tome well spent!

[@pamsims3436]

Just found your channel, love this demo! I absolutely love florals and I have always been intimidated with the loose watercolor arrangements. This will be something I will have a go at. I have been a floral artist more in realism and have wanted to become more abstract.

[@janeallen5969]

Where you started & where you ended was quite a journey. Love your technique. Watching the video again. I think I will continue to watch it. You have an ability to teach & hope I have the ability to learn. Thank you.

[@kathywilson6306]

Thank you Kevin. I painted the white watercolour flowers last year and won a prize at our local fall fair. Just about to start this one. Your descriptions of the "marks" makes perfect sense to me. Please make more videos. Cheers, Kathy from Canada

[@lizcoyle8788]

Thank you for such an inspiring and joyful illustration of the beauty of watercolor. You literally made me smile watching your creative mark making and mastery of this medium.

[@rhondabramlette4831]

Just discovered you here on KZbin today! Love both your painting style and your teaching methods! Hope to see more of your tutorials here soon! You have a beautiful gift. I've learned more about loose watercolor painting today watching this video than I have over the past year since I picked up a brush for the first time! Thanks you and hope to see more!

[@nancydigi2515]

Thanks Kevin for all the unique ways to get beautiful effects with watercolors

[@hollybythesea78]

This is an awesome watercolor video. I could watch you all day long. It’s been 2 years since your last video. I trust all is well with you.

[@paulinemantzikos7699]

I LOVED WATCHING YOU PAINT THIS WATERLOLOUR PAINTING IT HAS GIVEN ME SO MUCH CONFIDENCE TO HAVE A GO MYSELF THANKYOU VERY MUCH PAULINE

[@Liz.Elizabeth-ann-designs]

Wow Kevin! That is a beautiful floral! I love how you painted the rose with a scribble. I use a technique similar to that and I love your result.

[@jademail77]

I love the looseness and confidence you have! And I love your expressions like bits, wiggles and blobs!

[@r.c.miller6161]

Hand/arm movements with the brush are so free. Looks like he’s directing a symphony.

[@iammir8365]

I'm intimidated by flowers because I feel that I have to paint the details. I like that you started with loose drawing, shaped the flowers initially with water, and added colors later. I'll practice your method. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@saraht4973]

Marvelous. Going to try something like. Glad I found your video.

[@hurby6603]

Amazing teacher , I feel inspired..going to follow and try , myself 😊

[@lovearttherapyalways]

Wow! Really beautiful. I will be trying this. Thanks so much! God bless you!

[@chrislee-anneminturn5111]

Just wonderful. The energy, enthusiasm and explanation is very engaging, enjoyable & inspiring.

[@maggieinsc1967]

Ok another JUST WOW!! Those flowers. The colors are delicious.

[@markdonovan1540]

Love this style, I had a go and I must admit it was both quite physical and emotional to paint this way. Thank you Kevin, for such a wonderful gift and introducing me to Yuko Nagayama this way. Subscribed!

[@valariemagnus508]

Just so lovely. You gave me such a great afternoon watching as the flowers came to life. I just love the leaf on the right hand side that curls. The shadow is so wonderful. But tell me. Do you have certain clothes that you wear or are all your clothes paint marked?

[@julie-u2y]

Gorgeous Kevin😊I love how the flowers reflect from the glass vase onto the table. That is my inspiration sees it🌷👍🏻👏🏻👩🏻‍🎨

[@jdschneider5858]

I've been wanting to work more loosely, so your video was the perfect one to watch. Your treasury of techniques was very helpful! Thank you.

[@barbarawickwire9509]

I watched this wonderful video yesterday and got all revved up. You are a truly excellent teacher. I’ve been watching loads of w/c videos for a year now and of hundreds, yours would be in my top ten or so! I switched from acrylic to w/c and as you say, there is a lot to learn. I love how you explain everything as you go. So helpful. Many thanks. You just popped up on my KZbin “feed” a few days ago. Also appreciate your comments about painting and expression and that there’s no one way for any part of it. I so much hope you will continue doing these - flowers is what I do but am interested as well (20% ?) in abstract. My arthritic hands are hurting but I needed you to know how much what you do means to people. THANK YOU!

[@ArtistKevinChapman]

G'day Barbara Thanks for comments. Prior to lockdown I ran classes with120 folks on my list. 8 3 hour classes through the week. Loved it. I had been encouraged by many to do videos. I paint my own works non teaching days, or I used to. Lockdown comes and rears ugly head but, allows me to paint more and do these videos. I don't do editing etc. Editor in last flurry at Uni. Free soon so more videos out shortly. OK

[@barbarawickwire9509]

@@ArtistKevinChapman Thanks, Kevin. I just have to say that I’ve loved every video of yours that I have watched. The latest was the Wyeth inspired landscape. It is awesome seeing how you paint it in real time. The result simply beautiful. Your running commentary is so helpful especially on color combinations and strokes. I hope things get back to normal where you are so you can resume your in-person classes. Lucky students. I’ve taken many classes but you are the most helpful.

[@johnsullivan4413]

Kevin, I am really enjoying your classes here in Virginia. I love your loose fun approach, all of your lessons, and your sound effects. Thank you so much. I am recommending you to my art friends.

[@ArtistKevinChapman]

G'day John Thanks for your comments and thanks for recommending. A lot more videos soon Cheers

[@janeallen5969]

I've been binge watching Bob Ross doing wet on wet oil painting technique. He says all the little sounds help, & if someone hears you just explain you're an artist. Everyone expects odd behavior from artist. It's ok.

[@wmbriggz]

Periodically, I rewatch this series….. thank you!!!

[@doloresmanning9619]

I never thought of using a palette knife in watercolor. Love that idea. Thank you!

[@joanneferguson9297]

Great instruction, thank you

[@lauralaladarling3775]

Marvellous. I love the wet in wet shapes; your entire demonstration and picture were fantastic. Thank you so much for your inspiration and master class in painting with water colour. Xxx ❤

[@ArtistKevinChapman]

Cheers for comments more videos soon

[@Innersmile5]

I agree with @susangiannantonio. Your teaching style is 100% freeing, and I love the language you use, mark-making, shape, etc as most teachers don’t include it in their teaching, and you use other painters work. Good on you. I have gained so much from your confidence which translates through the video to my brush. Thank you. Best video ever. Off to bravely paint flowers!

[@kriskriskris32]

I love the freedom in this style of painting. Very lovely 😊❤

[@anamarie8]

I enjoyed your painting. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful work.

I’m a careful, fussy, judgmental watercolor artist. I know a lot of watercolor “rules” and I’ve painted some mediocre paintings. You just gave me a “Get Out of Jail Free” card. Hallelujah! THANK YOU, Kevin.

I so enjoyed this video, and even attempted this painting myself even though I am beginner! May I ask you about the Asian watercolor brushes you are using? Specifically what are they and where can I purchase them? Thank you so much for your inspiration.
