Favourite flower of mine, beautifully painted with such clear instructions and a very calm voice. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent.

[@feelingnifty]

So Beautiful! I won a set of acrylic paints at a craft retreat, and I just purchased some canvases and brushes. I asked my hubby if he'd want to do a home version of a paint and sip if we could find a tutorial. I love this so much-if he doesn't want to do this one, I'll definitely be doing it myself! Thank you, Jasmine, you are an excellent teacher!

[@feelingnifty]

That’s so exciting about your win and prize!! Congrats 👏🏼 Glad you’re also pumped to make art!! No matter which tutorial you choose to do you’ll do great- half the battle is a great attitude and energy and I can tell you have it! Enjoy the tutorial with your hubby, what a great date night idea 💡🙏❤️

[@PapercraftLady]

@@feelingnifty We did it! My hubby and I had a little paint and sip at our dining room table today. They both came out great, but of course, not as beautiful as yours. But pretty darn good for beginners! Thanks again!

[@kacyoung]

So great. Helpful. I'm going to paint my bathroom door using your tips. Thanks so very much.

Jasmine, can you olease do more tutorials. My biggest struggle with other artists is they dont do the step by step with voice instruction. That's why I love yours. I would be more than happy to become a paid member or patreon.

[@feelingnifty]

Thank you so much for your feedback Nancy! As an instructor I often don’t know which type of tutorial is better, but it’s comments like yours that help guide mommy content. I will be doing a new one, which is very summery and inspired by my son! Stay tuned, let’s just say there’s a beach, an umbrella and an incredible sunset 🏖️🌅🎨 Thabks again for your comment Nancy!!

I have been searching for months for some inspiration for a large piece of art for my home.

This technique has totally inspired me!!🤓 To match my decor, I'm going to try vertical color blocking in navy and terra cotta, then do the flowers in tones of cream (with green stems of course. I'm going to try it first on a piece of poster board to see if the piece actually looks like what I imagined in my head. Thank you so much for such a wonderful video! New subcriber!

[@DonnaHoogstraaten]

thank you for this tutorial. is there a reason why you start with the mid tone?

[@feelingnifty]

Hi Donna, Great question! I liked the look that’s the only reason really. I found the darkest color kind of got lost when keeping it in the background, so having it as the second color just gave a different look. But with that said you can most definitely start with the darkest and work your way up, that would look very nice also. Hope that helps! Cheers, Jasmine

[@ka8040]

It's beautiful! Question, did you add darker purple dots in the final painting? It looks like you added something extra to the painting. :)

[@feelingnifty]

Thank you ☺️ Yes, I had a purple paint marker and added some extra dots over the lavender after the video was done.The same can be done with some purple paint and a small round brush or detailing brush also.

[@VJMGMax]

Should I let the first purple dry before applying the darker purple or work with it a bit wet? Thanks!

[@feelingnifty]

Great question! I would wait until the first purple is mostly dried so that you still get the effect of multiple versions of purple in the final flower. Sometimes when paint is not dried enough both the purples can mix too much and you don’t get the same effect. Hope that helps and enjoy painting to! 💜🌸🙂

How did you get the final result? The last image almost looks like you dabbed black or a dark lavender color on the flowers?

[@feelingnifty]

Good eye!! I have a habit of adding some extra detail once the the painting is done- hard for me to stop sometimes-lol. What I did here was: I took a dark purple paint pen and added tiny dots of dark purple sparingly over the lavender flowers. Hope that helps :)

[@veronicablack3976]

The salt won't melt or liquify?

[@feelingnifty]

Funny I thought the exact same thing before I tried this method!! If you’re using regular consistency acrylics they’ll be too thick to liquify the salt. A case where it might liquify is if you use a super thin (watercolor-like) paint consistency and very fine grain salt. Great question btw 🙌🏼

[@veronicablack3976]

@@feelingnifty Thank you for your response 🙂that totally makes sense 👍

[@shagunshokar2612]

Hi Shagun, yes you can use paper like watercolor paper to do this painting also. Enjoy!

[@heatherlindie1936]

What is there to be done when salt start melting and the painting does not dry

[@feelingnifty]

Hi Heather, I've never witnessed the salt melting personally, but maybe the paints are really thin and liquid perhaps? If so, you can try using heavier bodied acrylic paints (the ones in tubes should work). Also you can speed up drying with a hair dryer. Hope that helps!
