How I Learned to Paint With Watercolor in 2 Months - Teach Yourself Anything | Cottagecore Art

How I taught myself to paint with watercolours in 2 months - painting nature while living slowly in the English countryside (cottagecore art).
Nature always fascinated me, and I wanted to capture it, keep it as a memory somewhere close. I was taking photos for the longest time, but that just didn't quite work the way I wanted it to. So I decided to learn how to paint - that way I can capture what I see, how I personally see it.

Something I often says to folks who are following a lot content of Cottagecore folks living seemingly beautiful lives in beautiful places without a care nor worry in the world, "Never compare your behind-the-scenes to someone else highlights reel" as outsiders looking in we *never* see the full picture nor the full journey of how these folks cultivated their life. Comparison doesn't serve us, it is after all, the thief of joy.

This was exactly the video I needed. I’m an artist but I haven’t picked up a paintbrush or pencil in months. I’ve been feeling stressed and overwhelmed with life lately and I couldn’t bring myself to create. This video reminded me of the joy of simply creating art for myself. The magic of making something out of color and imagination. Thank you so much for sharing your creative journey. It inspired me to be gentler with myself and have fun with art again. ❤

I am 64 and now that I have retired and am finding time to see what I love doing as never had time previously, I have just purchased watercolour paints etc and was feeling a little overwhelmed by many artists, not sure what to start painting, I know that every professional artist started in exactly the same way, we just have to start putting something on the paper daily, inspiration will follow.

[@Aliciasrelaxingvlogs]

How happy is the one who has the talent to draw, believe me, this is a great gift from God 💙

[@malikab3258]

Yes, BUT you can learn drawing! From videos by immitating basic drawings or from your own personal experience by trying to copy the shapes and colors and what you see. It's the "contnious practice" that will make you see the difference between your first drawing and your on going ones, you will see your progress through time. Try it! My daughter learnt to draw just by observing me and immitating me! She is drawing frequently (more than me!) And she became already good, better than me when I was her age !! Try it (even talented people when they don't practice regularly, they lose some of their skills and talent!) 😊👍💕

[@julieanntoth5676]

Amen🙏surprisingly I admit doing the same thing 👩🏻‍🎨

[@tonibauerlein5806]

I believe that creating is a drive one feels or desires. There are many ways to create. If the desire is strong enough, then developing the skills is a process that takes time. I wholeheartedly agree that the journey is more important than the result. However, the result can be very rewarding. There was a time when I began selling my paintings and getting commissions. It made me proud to have others value what I did enough to hang it in their home. On the other hand, other than the validation I received, there was more enjoyment in what I did for me. Being a working artist meant pouring my heart out only to give it away. I quit because the fun turned to chore. After retirement, and many years away from drawing and painting, I am rehoning my skills. Hand eye coordination is critical. It is like playing tennis. Repetition is essential to place the ball where you want it to go. Now I am having a lot of fun learning new things. Also, now it is all about learning and creating, just for my pleasure, to hang in my home or for my friends and family, or, to just keep in a drawer or sketchbook. I loved this video. It was full of wisdom, and aesthetic as well.

Just wow! your paintings are so beautiful, it does show the hard work you put in for someone who is a complete beginner. Last May this year I taught myself to draw and color with my left hand, and I loved it so much and improved so quickly, so I know how you feel. Keep up the good work♥

[@afroislandgirl]

But also, what is aesthetic? At the end of the day it's all about our point of view and our mindset. You are encouraging me to continue with my learning journey. Thank you 🌹

[@oldcrowcreations]

You’re painting is coming along beautifully! 💕 Hard work will outshine talent any day. I find with the art tutorials I follow, I always watch first and then paint. There’s nothing wrong with following someone else’s design for your own practice. Start with whatever materials you have. During the pandemic I painted little pieces of paper with coffee and tea 😅 Sometimes it’s fun to try new things without a specific end. You most certainly do not need an esthetically pleasing space to create art. You need a space that you don’t worry about the mess you might make. 😊 Thank you Daria for a lovely video this morning. ☀️🥰

[@IamDaria]

Aah thank you for sharing your experience too! 🥰 Painting with coffee and tea sounds incredibly fun. Did you find it quite difficult? 😊

[@oldcrowcreations]

@@IamDaria honestly, I just made little shapes of color and added little pen designs when they were dry. More doodling than proper technique. But you can get a bit of layering in if you want.

I have a little room upstairs for my art supplies, wanted one for years. Now my husband made it for me! I think i should practice more ........ i have a job and sometimes life gets 'in-the-way'. I know i just have to make time and start and then it's really relaxing. I think water colour gives a beautiful effect and looks so naturally. Thanks for this video and keep on talking to us 🥰

[@JBaxter-pi8oj]

For someone who just started watercolours you've learned very quickly! Your paintings show a great eye for composition and contrast. (I love the fact that I sound like a real expert when I'm not!) Thank you for sharing your journey. It's wonderful to learn from other artists, how they use their materials, how they start a painting and how they finish a painting. It might seem to be self explanatory but when you've not had the benefit of art classes it's far from obvious. I believe that the process is different for every artist but finding your own particular process is a matter of time, patience and practice. Thank you again!

[@gathercreatelivewithleslie8340]

I think one thing that many people overlook is the repetition and constant learning. People that create are always told they have talent. No, they have dedication. A plumber or a doctor isn't told they have "talent", like oh well, it's easy for you. Creativity has to be cultivated and learned just like you said, watching videos and tutorials. I wish peope would just say "I love your style or work". This is the first time watching and can I say, don't let other people tell you that you are doing something wrong in the videos, it's your free channel they get to watch, if they don't like voice overs they can just mute it. Some peope do very slow videos and I just speed them up to my liking. Well done

[@robhead22]

This is great!! I struggle with watercolors. Your advice, and examples, are very inspiring!! Well done!! Thank you!

[@BehindTheEverest]

I absolutely love when you speak to the camera. It looks spontaneous, if i can say. And i had the same problem with talking to people. Always had a playback in my mind later after i’m done talking to them and suprisingly found the perfect phrasing. So i was always saying to myself : « oh i wish i told them that. That’s absolutely perfect. » 😆 So i totally get it.

I have been too fearful to try watercoloring painting, despite having all the lovely supplies I need to do so. After watching this video, I am feeling different about my potential to also create some beautiful little pieces of art that I can call my own.

[@bluetoadflax2486]

I like how you added in a clip of you speaking to us facing the camera! It's quite interesting seeing the gestures and mannerisms of talking, since we've known your voice mostly through narration form. The paintings are wonderful (and the dog border tape very fun!). I struggle with paintings; my brain seems to not like layers and colours and brush strokes; it screeches and runs back to pencil sketches!

[@rachelschappacher1100]

I mean this as the highest compliment... You remind me of Meryl Streep in Bridges of Madison County. Seemingly so unsure, but so strong and beautiful. I liken her as well to mom's feisty mother, a grandmother I wish I had been able to know as a young woman. Your videos are lovely and authentic. People who criticize are so sweet and offer such thoughtful insight into themselves. ❤

[@j.e.migdal]

Your photos and videos show you have an eye for colour and composition. It didn't surprised me you're good in watercolours. And the process! It's totally about following the creative path, not the end result. Being a painter myself I always feel it's the painting process that makes me most connected with creation. Beautiful collection of sketchbooks!

[@Escudera_de_Roble]

😍 Loved your watercolour, Daria! (Yay, sketchbook flip-throughs!🖌😃👍) I totally share your views on being creative and not letting perfectionism spoil our enjoyment of the learning process! 😊 I started using old school supplies and unsuitable paper during the pandemic, and discovered how freeing it was to have an activity where I didn't feel compelled to excel! Now I seek improvement just to be able to express myself better, and for the joy of learning. I am a perfectionist by nature (I still have supplies awaiting till I feel like I deserve them, because I don't want them to be wasted on my poor skills), but I try to overcome this trait! 😅 Speaking about traits, I also keep playing conversations back in my mind afterwards! 😉 (Must be an introvert thing.🤭) I loved your speech, Daria, so please, keep talking to camera! 👌😁 And I definitely recommend everyone to take up art. Being creative makes you feel so much better and happier! 🙏 Thank you so much for this great video!! 🤗👏👏👏🥰😘

[@malikab3258]

Old sewing machine! Lovely memories of my childhood. I learnt sewing in an early age (around 12) on an old sewing machine (Singer) that functions with feet!!😂 that was an enjoybal experience. I could sew some clothes for my doll, pillows, curtains, kitchen items, skirt and some dresses for me, anything to enjoy that moment or repair a piece of clothe. Also, I learnt crochet and knitting at 9 years old, from my big sister and mom. Our home was smelling crafting activities as I grew up in a family of 4 sisters besides having 3 cousins living next to us and playing together! We were very creative kids and re-used or recycled many things around us to play with!! That were our best life moments 🥰😍🌻💕

Thanks for this. I can confirm that the ability to recognize beauty does rarely depend on your surroundings. For instance the 23 envelope Artworks were often derived or using old, scratched or decayed surfaces and they led you into inner realms of sheer beauty. Besides, your English sounds so british to me (I am German) that I was surprised to hear in one of your clips that you are not born in the UK. I do always enjoy listening to people who speak a beautiful English. Don’t listen to the Naysayers 😂

You should totally talk more on the camera, it bring out yet another side of you which is very beautiful to behold. Thank you for sharing your journey of learning on how to paint, it's actually quite important to hear from new aspiring artists. Quite often people who have mastered something cannot really relate to the beginners anymore. We humans tend to forget the difficulties and struggles of learning when we just start out. It's important to share things as it can only encourage others to make something beautiful of their own. Beautiful video and I love how well he music fits into all of this, such a lighthearted but sophisticated feeling 😀 P.S. Stepping over the cat bit was surprisingly very amusing, nice detail! 😂

[@IamDaria]

Thank you! 🥰 It was actually quite hard to decide to share this process, not gonna lie. I’m not an expert, so why should I talk about this? But I thought that from my personal experience, while I love watching skilled painters, it can be overwhelming to learn from them. Hence why I mention that I’m sharing from beginner to beginner. Perhaps someone might find it easier to relate 😊

I would call this process painting, not a focus on product. We begin learning by practicing, learning from our mistakes, or beginning effort: watch a child learn to walk, talk, or even draw.

Wonderful video. I recently purchased nic pro brushes and paints, we it's been so liberating to allow myself to give it a go. I used to buy Window and newton, and prob will again when I have more confidence. The affordable option mean I'm less caught up in the thought, another pan of this colour will be SO expensive and being afraid to make mistakes and waste supplies. The SAA, are good for supplies, cowling and Wilcox have good deals. I'm learning g with Jane Davenport for drawing and watching Matthew Palmer on KZbin. A phrase I write inside the cover of my sketchbooks is; 'I give myself permission to make the worst art imaginable, in this book. It's my safe space and I don't have to show anyone else.'

I really love your video and I'd love to stay on your channel longer. I feel like I've found a kindred spirit in you❤ I am a self-taught artist and I also believe that *the most important thing is the journey, not the destination* It took me some time to realize this but it was worth it. Painting and drawing helped me get through the darkest period in my life. There is something magical about creativity, and every aspect of it can be translated into our daily struggles or intrusive thoughts. For me, art has a language that is more understandable than anything else I can think of. I have certainly learned that: - making mistakes teaches me to look for new solutions -spontaneity does not always mean a lack of control -being a perfectionist is neither possible, healthy nor productive -an open mind and courage to try new things often brings surprising results
