A really different technique, Liesl and perfectly explained. It will certainly test your skills. I'll be giving this one a try. Thanks again. 🥰

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Yes, this is different and also so much fun to do when you get the hang of it. It takes a bit of practice, but I think you can do it! I hope you give it a try sometime. 😊 I hope you have a lovely day. Happy painting my friend!

Thanks for going so slow, I love it. I am watching your every move. I like that you have filmed every thing you have painted and not skipped ahead to a finished painting. I love the repitition. This is a beautiful painting and I hope to try it myself. Your music is also very soothing.

I have watched artists do this technique for the past three years, and you explained it so well...I got it.🙂 I intend to practice this style for quite a while. Thank you, Liesl.💜You're one of the best teachers on youtube.🖌

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Oh good! I’m glad I explained it well, it can be difficult to put into words what I’m doing g with my hands! 😅 This is such a fun and beautiful thing that watercolors can do, I really enjoyed creating this piece. 🥰 I hope you’re doing well Penny, it is a bright spot in my Thursdays to hear from you. Take care and happy painting!

[@colleencooke1038]

Hi Liesl, this is truly beautiful. Your new brush looks great, looking forward to seeing the set. ❤

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Thanks so much Colleen. 🥰 I am excited about my brushes too! Can’t wait to share more about them soon. 😁 I hope you’re doing well. Take care, and as always thank you for all you do!

[@128titanic]

Hi, Liesl. Thank you for your video. ❤ Best wishes.

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Thank you my friend. I hope you have a lovely Thursday! Take care. 😊

[@lainareeves3755]

This is so beautifully elegant Liesl! I really appreciate you taking the time to explain the process of how you paint to achieve the transparency of the petals. I so agree with you that this is watercolor displayed in all her glory! I also wanted to thank you for the close up shots of your composition while you’re painting. These 70 year old eyes are so grateful! 😊💕 You make it difficult to decide which process I like the best! They’re both gorgeous! Have a great weekend!

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Yes, watercolors are magical aren’t they!? I just love what they can do! I really enjoyed creating this piece, it was just pure fun. 🥰 I’m glad the “close up” shots are helpful! I think my editing has gotten better over the years, in fact, I find it a little humorous to watch some of my very first tutorials compared to what I put out now! 😅 I guess anything can be improved with a bit of practice! Have a wonderful day Laina, you deserve it!

[@vickidempsey5617]

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Yes, I agree with you! I love doing this technique, it is so fun and I just love the see-through look. Thanks for taking the time to watch today! 😊

[@helenthomas3101]

I actually think this is your best yet! It’s soo intricate. I’m going to try and do this using water colour pencils. Might be able to get a similar effect! ❤️

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Thank you Helen, this means a lot to me. ❤️ I hope it works with the watercolor pencils, you’ll have to let me know how it goes! Happy painting my friend. 😊

[@helenthomas3101]

@@lieslsartisticstudio I will do! Hope you’re well too! Can’t wait to see your next piece. Just love flowers! I’m experimenting with what I can do with watercolour pencils and brush pens. It’s more layering but that’s what I love. I like doing small and detailed😍

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

I’m glad you’ve found a medium that you enjoying experimenting and working with, that is a key point to any artwork! (I also love doing more detailed pieces! 😉) Take care Helen.

[@drizmoreno6742]

Wow!!! This tequnique absolutely is why watercolor is the best!! Can you please paint an anemone flower or a bird of paradise in this style?!?! technique ???

Fantastic tutorial.... what do you think of the brush.....any idea of what sizes you are thinking of???

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Thanks Ralph, and yes, I just finalized all my brushes and hope to do a short video showing them off. 😁 I’m excited to share them!

[@ralphherrick596]

So to make the darker purple did use more pigment?

[@lieslsartisticstudio]

Yes, it’s just more concentrated and not as watered down. 😊
