Free self isolation Tulip lesson with Joanne Boon Thomas

In isolation and needing some inspiration? Then I am inviting you to get those brushes out and paint with me.
Even if you don't paint its always fun to watch, remember watercolour challenge? Lots of my non artist friends loved it. Unfortunately there is no Hanna Gordon its only me 😁
Lets take this time and focus on maintaining our mental well-being by being creative because
now, more than ever, is the time for us to be proactive about creating small moments of happiness in our days, so lets paint some uplifting Tulips
This lesson should suit the beginner or those with some experience
So stay positive and stay creative
and feel free to share with others who may benefit
ps. I sound a bit miserable but honestly I am ok 🤗
About Me:
I am an experienced artist and tutor, with a life-long love of painting and drawing and a passion for nurturing those skills in others. I derive immense pleasure from helping others to discover the endless joys (and occasional frustrations) of painting, and to progress, whether they taking their first tentative steps or are seeking to develop their technique and style.
I conduct demonstrations and run workshops (in watercolour) and also tutor painting holidays both abroad and in the UK.

[@ursulabachman8226]

Joanne I love the way you paint! You let the paint move and express itself which I find so lovely and freeing. I also enjoy you talking through your painting which makes me chuckle at times but also gives me an insight as to your thought process as you are painting. You are also so positive when you paint, always looking at a hard edge for example as an opportunity to define something rather than a mistake that has to be fixed. Thank you so much for your tutorials. I'm glad I found you and I'm excited to try my hand at some watercolor painting.

[@JBOONTOM]

Ursula thanks so much for leaving me such a positive message 💛 I am also pleased that I manage to make you chuckle 😄

[@judybreedlove5348]

Thank you, Joanne. I"ve been a fan of yours since early Art Tutor days. I painted along with you when you did your fabulous sunflowers. I had never seen someone use so much water, so I took my painting outside...LOL. I also first learned about Brusho from you.....although I don't do much with it....I'm still too heavy handed with it. I'm trying to sprinkle it with a dry brush .....that technique seems to work for me. This is a very fun exercise. Thank you for sharing. I'm excited that you've set up a KZbin channel. I'll be looking for more. Stay safe.

[@JBOONTOM]

Many thanks 🥰

[@carolrost9245]

I love to watch you paint. I tried out both the poppies and the tulips. They were a lot of fun. Negative space painting was a challenge, showing off the stems here and the poppy edges in that video.

[@JBOONTOM]

Its great to know that you got your brushes out to paint with me Carol. Negative painting can be a challenge but its a skill work practicing

[@teresaoflynn8062]

So excited to see your channel and this delicious tulip tutorial! My parrot tulips are blooming now and I’ve been so stymied trying to paint all their color fused and fringe petals. Going to give a try with your loose style and brave up with more water! Thanks so much for sharing your expertise and lovely commentary style.

[@JBOONTOM]

You are very welcome I do hope you enjoy painting your Parrot tulips ⚘🖌🌈

[@shirleygoss4081]

Thankyou so much Joanne. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video. I am 75 and still class myself as a beginner after many years trying to do watercolour. I am in the process of trying your 'Poppies' painting, but look forward to also trying this one. It seems a bit easier to follow seeing I am able to continuously watch what you are doing. Love your work.

[@gennyhunt4167]

Hi Joanne, I love your tutorials and find your method of teaching easy to follow. I gave the tulips a go and enjoyed it very much. I'm very much at the beginning stage of watercolor and am just getting the hang of knowing just how wet my brush is vs. my paper vs. my paint! Still have a tendency to overwork things but I have a mantra now when I am painting, I hear your voice in my head asking me if I need to put my brush down, lol! Going to head over to FB and join your group. Please be well and stay safe!

[@JBOONTOM]

Oh no my voice in your head!!! Hope you can understand my Northern accent !!!! Keep painting and stay safe 🖌🖌🖌

[@dorisdavidson7849]

Thanks Joanne. One of the best things that has come from our lockdown here in Canada is I’ve stared watercolor painting, a long held desire. Your tutorial is an inspiration! Can’t wait to try it.

Fabulous. Love your loose style Joanne. How do you end up with something so gorgeous?

[@JBOONTOM]

Just practice Lydia 🥲

[@kimberlydaniel9116]

Wow. When you had a close up on the lower right tulip stem it actually looked on camera to have the little fine hairs on the stem. I’m assuming it is because the blue running in the water and the spraying of water? It’s just so crazy how it looks effortless. You get the most beautiful wistful paintings that look so effortless but to replicate it......... in my mind it feels like I would never be able to do it. Watercolour painting and pencils along with drawing gives me the best feeling when I can do it. I have a severe pain syndrome (🧡🔥🌩RSD🌩🔥🧡) and fibromyalgia so it is literally therapy. I stopped for 10 yrs (had children 😃) and just started up again during covid. I strive to be like you but I find I have this gene that doesn’t let me let loose and “just let’s see what happens”. I know watercolours are a hard medium to control, I love when the pigments just flow and crawl across the page but I don’t think I can see what to do with it after. Maybe I don’t have insight? The foresight? I need to keep watching and actually do it while I watch instead of being in my head and saying ... that cannot be replicated. Thankyou for making me think of watercolours differently. I love your accent and your laid back relaxed attitude. I need to take that in and learn from you! Thankyou. Stay safe. From Canada.

[@JBOONTOM]

Hi Kimberly Thank you for your kind words I truly appreciate that you took the time. I feel you answered your own question in that it is so helpful to watch and paint along with me. Please dont feel discouraged and fill your head with negative thoughts. I was once a beginner who loved to draw and yearned to be able to master watercolour techniques with much practice and determination I saw an improvement and here I am today actually teaching Watercolour!!! Remember all mistakes are a learning curve and playing and experimenting teaches us something so don't be afraid to just play and not put pressure on yourself to create a masterpiece. Keep painting and stay safe xxx

I really like this, Joanne. Is there an advantage to using the wax resist instead of masking fluid?

[@JBOONTOM]

Its just my personal preference I have never got on with masking fluid.

how do you avoid blooms when you go back in with so much water?
