EASY! 4 Color, No Drawing Required Magnolia Watercolor Painting!

[@barbarabass4235]

Lindsay, as usual you have blown my mind. You are so talented. What a beautiful painting. i so want to be you. I just discovered you in the last year and have yet to try one of you beginner paintings. I’m a 76 year old granny and hope it’s not to late to learn. Your tutorials give me such great joy.

[@jennyc5132]

Beautiful Lindsay, well worth sharing this with a friend in Tasmania (Australia), she has a large magnolia growing in her front garden...thank you🙏..now on to the fuchsia!!!! Greetings from Western Australia 🥰🎨🦘🦘🦘🦘

[@KimberlyCrick]

I would love to do something like this! I was intrigued by the "no drawing required" because I struggle with using strict line work (I approach things like a coloring book) and never being free and loose with my watercolor painting. It's hard for me to pull it off as beautifully as you have done here, but I feel like this style of painting is where watercolor as a medium really shines. I love all the texture and colors mingling wet-in-wet on the leaves. Thank you for the inspiration :)

[@beckyb4074]

Thanks Lindsay, you are one of the sweetest teachers I have ever known in my 59 years in this world. Thanks again. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

[@annlee2938]

Lovely painting....great teacher! I especially appreciated being able to see you dipping the brush into the water as most tutorials leave the water outside the frame. Thx!

[@maggiecarter3432]

I keep coming back to this one. I've done it about 5 or 6 times. Some have ended up in the trash. But most just show evolution and trial and error. It's a great tutorial.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

That's awesome!

[@shirleytaylor186]

It was fun to watch you create this. Very pretty. Of course you make it look so very easy, cant wait to be this good. Practice, practice.

[@flychk1229]

Such a treat to watch you work! Always teaching, always positive. And you just seem FEARLESS!

[@melindarincon7571]

Very creative painting! Loved that you didn't sketch first and just dug in. This is one I will try and paint along with you. Usually I watch your tutorial first then paint along with you on the 2nd run. So much fun and you give us a lot of information which I love! Thank you.

[@bellap2570]

I love beginner tutorial because I can follow along and learn so much more! Thank you so much ❤️👩‍🎨🎨

[@barryedgington6812]

I really enjoyed watching you paint those beautiful magnolias. I like your style of painting. Thank you. Helene

[@farahazwin]

I love to see how your brush ‘dance’ through the curves and edges confidently! Certainly learned a lot to improve on my strokes ✨

[@GamerATM]

Love it! As always you don't disappoint - keep painting for us Lindsay! Thanks!

[@fludrbywest3886]

Gorgeous, I love this magnolia, here in SC the mostly call it a tulip magnolia but if I’m not mistaken it’s called a southern magnolia as well.

[@olderendirt]

Very pretty magnolia and thanks for explaining more brush detail, too.

[@irlynda5836]

The blue/gray pull out the blue in the flowers making the mauve more vibrant. Great tutorial. Thank you. 🤗🥰

[@brendacollinsdeeks7268]

Lindsay, this is absolutely gorgeous! I had a long hard winter too and I'm heading into surgery tomorrow so I was looking for something soothing to watch tonight. And there you were- painting a beautiful magnolia! I'm going to hold this painting in my mind's eye tomorrow to stay calm and then try painting it as soon as I'm well enough. You are always a joy to watch. Thanks for sharing your talent with me.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Dear Brenda, I am so sorry to hear you have surgery tomorrow. Hospitals and doctors make me so anxious. I hope you get a good night's sleep and I will be sending you good vibes tomorrow. Be well! Hugs:)

[@gaylegullon3496]

Magnolia,s what not to love. Great painting and we'll explained and executed. Thanks for sharing Lindsay.

[@Linda-qq5mg]

I was so happy to see your tutorial when I went to KZbin tonight! The painting is absolutely beautiful! You sure are good with your brush work! Thanks so much for sharing and explaining everything so well. Hopefully it won’t snow much longer!

[@mwGoosman]

This is the video that convinced me to finally take one of your classes. Thanks for the discount and the amazing floral painting class!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thank you:)

[@junesteuterman2818]

Beautiful, absolutely Beautiful ,!!!

[@galedar1537]

Thanks for another great tutorial. I have learned a lot from your technique and use of colors here, and look forward to painting these flowers! Hot press watercolor paper is my favorite too. Arches is so expensive, so it is good to hear about more reasonably priced, good quality alternatives. I also appreciate hearing about your brushes!

[@watercolorlessons5304]

The loose softness going on at the bottom of the page is so gorgeous. I so appreciate your watercolor videos, thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏😊😉

[@irmareitz701]

Thanks Lindsay! I love your floral tutorials and the way your explain so clearly the consistency of the paint as well as how to wield the brushes. ❤️❤️

[@donnacarraway9182]

I really really like the stylized look of this painting!! It would be an awesome wallpaper!! Beautiful!💕

[@DarkisArt]

Wow I’m absolutely head over heels for this one. That purple combination with the earthy green looks awesome! Such a happy painting! 😁👍💜

[@thefrugalcrafter]

thank you!

[@kaitekiart7666]

Stylish and cute painting😍😍

[@karenstout2232]

A great tutorial! I love magnolias! Love this beginner tutorial. YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER!

[@MsPinkpeppermint]

You are so right, it's been a long winter. We got that nasty white stuff here in N.B. yesterday too. I loved this relaxing painting, especially the separation of blue and brown in the branches, wonderful! I ordered some aqua bee paper today, I was wondering about it and you spoke highly of it in this video, thanks for that. 💚

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

This painting is GORGEOUS!!! Thanks for sharing your time and creativity!!!

[@DS40764]

Thank you. As always you are a great Instructor and we can very much make this kind of painting our own. Everyone wants that!

[@katherinehaught7950]

I absolutely love to watch you paint & all the other watercolor painters. I learn so much from watching a variety of artists. It’s surprising how many techniques there are. Watercolor is my most favorite kind of artwork. I’m learning but it’s going slow. Wish l could take lessons from you.🖌🖌🌸🌺🌼🖌🥰👩🏻‍🎨👰🏼🥾

[@katherinehaught7950]

My wish is to get good enough to actually frame & hang my work. About crazy weather--we have snow predicted late next week ( April 10 th for several days) here on Colorado. It’s not too unusual for us to get snow in May. I love the snow but grow tired of it by March.❄️❄️❄️

[@cazkiwinz4300]

Oooooo.....another one I hadn’t seen.... saving this for my tomorrow’s “NZ Sunday Funday Watercolour Practice/Adventures with Lindsay” day 😂

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Yay!

[@theresesprinkle2103]

I love all of your painting. Keep up the great work. Love this.

Just lovely! I so enjoy your cheerful commentary, as sell.

[@nancywhitmore3497]

Wow! You’re so talented, Lindsay! This painting is GORGEOUS! Thanks for all of the tips on brush types and how to use them! I also appreciate hearing about paper and paint differences! Thanks too, for mentioning your art classes! I’m currently taking one and I’m learning quite a lot! I watch many artists on KZbin, and you’re my favorite! 😀❤️

[@sharaddha2023]

This is a great work. I m a beginner. I dream to paint like this in future.

[@carlaorjohn]

This was so interesting and fun to watch ... the dagger brush was cool! Going to try this. TFS!

[@jackiebrown6577]

Such a talented artist and a wonderful teacher!☺️

[@triciat-b3972]

Very pretty Lindsay. And while you were using the liner brush, doing thick-thin-thick strokes, I thought to myself that is the technique for modern calligraphy/copperplate/brush-lettering. All the rage, at the moment! The liner brush is - or was - called a lettering brush. Those beautiful flowing flourishes !

[@Kitchensurprise]

Speaking of weather..just outside Houston, the weather can’t make up her mind..pollen is so bad and it is warm and dry and then today rainy and cool...yikes...great time for a lovely magnolia painting

[@notsosassymarian]

Thank you so much for your informative videos. I’ve been wanting to dip into the world of watercolor, and have been binge watching all you have on the subject. Now I just need to take the plunge, so to speak. Oh, and, we have the same saying here in the Seattle area: I you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes; it’ll change!

[@rebeccabee6615]

Gorgeous! You make it look so easy! But you are awesome at explaining things as you go. 🤗

I am loving these tutorials for beginners! I'm not able to cough up enough for your teachable classes yet, but now that I have the tools (the brush kit you recommend plus la petite aquarelle by senellier, it's beautiful paint! and the various odds and ends) I'm watching KZbin and saving up for your class!

[@susanpeterson8278]

Lots of fun with this one, I have to fight over-working it and my impatience to wait until the painting is dry. I have a Princeton Neptune #10 Round...but mine has virtually no point! Super frustrating. So i bought a Escoda Versatil #10 rigger which I like; still getting the hang of that brush.

@@thefrugalcrafter okay dokey, I'll let you know. It is a size 6 but looks like other brands size 4 to begin with. It is squirrel. I try not to think about that. Nice point. I'll use it tomorrow. 😁💙

[@richardpienaar7077]

Really enjoyed your method of loose painting techniques you demonstrated and yet it turned out very similar to a botanical art painting. I look forward to trying out the techniques at home. As a retired professor of botany I enjoy nature and in particular trying to do some botanical art. The problem I am having is that I am concentrating too much on detail. Need to loosen up a little. Thanks once again.

[@LesleyTaylor101]

Gorgeous design. You make it look so very achievable. Hope to try this soon!

[@samarberri8648]

I had already decided to work on Magnolias this month, so this will be a good one to start with. The magnolias around here are white.

Lindsay, I am watching this 25 days later and as I drove home today from nearly 2hours south of my home in central Vermont, I noticed the weeping willows are really starting to green up. I would love to paint one, and I wonder if you would do a watercolor tutorial on weeping willows, please.

EXCELLENT! - as ALWAYS!

[@happymv5350]

Loved painting along with you on this project! I am working on my pigment/water ratios as I tend to be too heavy on the pigment resulting in an overworked look. This was a perfect exercise in restraint - exactly what I needed! Also love the subject matter and color palette you used. Do you have any more videos on water/pigment ratio exercises? Thanks Lindsay!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Maybe try some of my landscape tutorials as you will see paint used at different viscosity for different effects.
