[@wendyweng3172]

Thx Harriet!! I was just looking for a tutorial like this!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Glad I could help!

[@rmuller366]

I can’t believe it Harriet! I was thinking just yesterday that I’d love to see you paint some water lilies and here they are. Amazing! Before I started on my watercolor journey last year, I worked a lot in colored pencil. The shading technique you used on the pads is a staple in the colored pencil world, but it’s the first time I’ve seen it done in watercolor. I cannot wait to try it. I ordered your New Botanical book today on Amazon. Delivery is tomorrow. I’m so excited and looking forward to pouring over the pages, soaking up the knowledge, and getting out the watercolor supplies. Thanks for all the inspiration. Blessings to you!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Ah thanks so much Rita!

[@BB-nz5sk]

I love how you allowed to paint to mix and mingle ON the paper with the lily pads. It looks so pretty and unique!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks, I liked the result of that technique

[@helengentile9327]

So beautiful and relaxing watching this video❤️

Amazing details, love this...

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@MarianneTrocola]

Monet would be proud! I’m going to give this a try! Perhaps I will start with a smaller version and build from there! Water seems like a good landscape to start with! I like the peaceful quiet of watercolor painting. Monet referred to it as, “Colorful Silence.” I really like the sound of those two words! Thanks, Marianne🎨

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Colorful silence, how beautiful

[@nirmalachacko9385]

It’s so nice following you my dear..... you have made it so student friendly. I am enjoying following your instructions, even though I seem to be using more paints than required and what I reproduce is darker and bolder 💐💐

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you so much. Try using much less paint and relying more on water and see what happens.

[@dhags5]

Thank you - Awesome tutorial!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Glad it was helpful!

[@cyng8497]

Beautiful and very relaxing 🌹

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Glad you think so!

[@Sundies_Art]

absolutely beautiful

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks for watching!

[@cindyettinger9777]

I love this! I’m going to try and do it for my sister. I’m a very beginner so I’m hoping I can achieve something almost as pretty. Thank you💖

[@deWintonPaperCo]

You can do it!

[@rosejordan4245]

Beautiful!!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks!

[@sylviarobinson6250]

Lovely waterlillies.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks Sylvia! I hope you enjoy painting this!

[@danitagoins4574]

Love this video! I am gonna try it tomorrow.🙂 Just wanted to share a little tip with you. If you draw your rough sketch with watercolor pencils, you don’t have to worry about the pencil lines! I usually use a color that is close to whatever I am going to paint. Hope it helps! God bless you!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Yes of course that’s another good option

[@katherineh.6852]

Saving this! I was commissioned to paint a landscape which is a freshwater pond or lake or something surrounded by forest with a doc, two willows and beautiful lilies to the side of the doc. I am a loose painter but wanted to see how to approach the lilies so I came here. Love it!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Brilliant, glad it will be helpful

[@susanweller2121]

I gave it a go. All I can say is I'm glad the blinds are drawn and the neighbors can't see my mess. 🤣 I love your tutorials don't get me wrong, but I am definitely artistically challenged. I shall persevere nonetheless. Thank you for these. 🙂

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Ah it's all about enjoying the process!

[@jenscloset]

Lovely, thank you!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@plasmalifthouseofbeautyhal6723]

Thank you again xx

[@deWintonPaperCo]

You are so welcome

[@JakirAli-jq8xe]

Honestly, these tutorials are amazing! Can you paint some bleeding hearts? I'd love a tutorial on that

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you! I invite my Patrons to pick at least 4 of my KZbin tutorials a month. To find out more about my Patreon online teaching, have a look at this video I made to explain how it all works: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2KveoWPo6echbs

[@BB-nz5sk]

YES!! Great idea!

[@shelinahetherington4661]

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you!

[@rosemorales3135]

Rivers & Oceans are in my dreams. :D

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks!

[@neelimaingle6322]

Love the video n tried

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Great!

[@tiffanie7139]

I’m always wondering what’s going on with the water and paint when it’s zoomed in on the paper. Just an idea maybe you could add a smaller box in the corner that fixed on the mixing and water so we can see that part also. I got sucked into your channel and have been watching it all day. Your work is absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing it.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks Tiffanie!

[@neelimaingle6322]

Awesome

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks for watching!

[@oceanrblx7860]

Yay

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@barbarabrown6002]

I really like the watercolor palettes you use in your videos (separate palettes for cool colors and warm colors) but I can’t find the information on where to buy them. Love your tutorials!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

If you google ‘loxley folding palette’

[@nicoletaillefer5579]

I would like to see you mixing colors on your palette That would make class more complete

[@deWintonPaperCo]

We usually do have that happening too but we decided to have a lot of it zoomed in for the detail.

[@ruthkoster4140]

I also love waterlilies

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Me too!

[@anneke7822]

Lovely! 😍 Can you tell me how you remove the pencil lines? What are you use for it. Thank you so much! 💗😊

[@deWintonPaperCo]

It's about drawing lightly initially and rubbing them out as early as possible while painting the piece

[@drewcounts4238]

I’m a left handed artist to

[@zoemapp]

Asked on an older video But please could you help me with painting badgers Thank you x

What type of pencil do you use for drawing on watercolour paper......that can erase?
