I am one of those people who found you on KZbin shorts. The flower with the five little dots is so fun to do. I used these flowers to swatch all of my watercolour paints. It was a good way to see how your paint moves, different shades, combinations, etc. I am enjoying this video as well. I appreciate how you describe an easier way of making flowers.

Out of all the videos I have watched, yours gives the most laidback approach to it. Others talk so much and about the colors and so many different strokes just for one peddle. I dont know about others, but when i am trying to get to the results that matches what the person is showing me, but their saying to many things and instructions are long, I get lost. I hope that made sense. But yours are simple and to the point. Easy to follow. That makes a big difference in making a person feel at ease, then you can see the motions and the strokes being made cuz your not being made to over think it. Think you so much. Love your video and wanting to see more.

Thank you SO much. I am an artist who has worked mostly in realism but also likes crafts. Recently I have gotten into junk journals and wanted some simple easy flowers I could paint to make pretty stationary etc. for the junk journals but had no idea how to simplify the flowers I have painted in the past. While realism has it's place, it would take WAY too long to do that as stationary or envelopes in a junk journal so I needed flowers that were pretty and quick to do. These are awesome and I am sure will work great for what I need!!

I watched your video the second time in order to copy some of the flowers. Last time I already copied 4 or 5 of them and you are right. I also love the simple peach. That way looks simple but the flower looks awesome. Thanks for your sharing. I cut most of the flowers from your video and paste to a word file in order to make it bigger on my screen to copy. Aha...
