How to Overcome Watercolour Block | Easy Poppy Tutorial

[@apenasumamocalatino-americ5953]

After 55 years old, I decided to recover my stolen childhood and my lost adolescence and decided to color my life ... so i bought pencils, pens, watercolors of all colors and I decided to learn how to draw! on youtube, I looked at these flowers and thought they would be impossible, then they are very light and diaphanous ... I thought I would not have enough lightness in my hands, because I had never drawn anything in my life ... but the softness of his voice and calm in your words guided me ... before I had asked God to open my mind and soften my hands ... so I made the most beautiful flowers of my life! I cried, I cried for joy! Thank you for sharing this so beautiful gift with us! God bless !!!! And besides learning to draw and paint, I still learn English, because its pronunciation is clear and calm! So, again, thank you very much!

Linda Lacerda it’s amazing how art connects people and what emotions it evokes! From my video to your creation, and from your words to me - that precise moment in time. It’s incredible :) God creates this magic. Thank you!

[@annielively7040]

@@mariorossi7225 ah yes I agree.. when the stuff looks terrible it does ruin the mood.. I am scared of painting landscapes and I end up ruining them , so I get what you are saying

My mother in law’s birthday is coming up and thanks to this video I am having a go at painting some poppies for her as they are her favourite... I loved this tutorial, thank you so much!

[@Linda-qq5mg]

Thank you, thank you! I find poppies so difficult to draw, but doing it this way I actually drew a flower that looks like a poppy! Thanks again. I have. subscribed! 😊

[@muhlenstedt]

It is very beautiful and the ready painting looks more complicated as really is.Perfect for a day like this,when I came tired from work and have not too much concentration.I did it with the white nights scarlet red , that I have bought after seing it in your videos.It is a flash of color against the gray winter here in north Germany.Thank you!Havea great weekend!

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

Glad you had fun doing this poppy illustration! I finished school in Hamburg, so North Germany has a special place in my heart. Greetings :)

[@rentedtux1883]

I love that you use a fountain pen! I do too. They are wonderful!

Que hermoso. Que tipo de papel es?

[@maricarbo]

Excellent and simple tutorial.

[@dhanyahegde7802]

I'm really happy that I found your channel... It's certainly of my type.. I love your channel..

[@sarahvenz3654]

I am appreciative of you content. It’s simple enough for me. I have a dumb question. What’s the size of this sketchbook?

[@lyndamitton4496]

Carbon ink…converter??? Is it waterproof?

[@constellations9258]

great video and beautiful painting...........what kind of paper are you using?

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

CONSTELLATIONS thank you! I believe this was Stillman and Birn Beta Series hard cover. If I’m not mistaken it’s 210gsm.

[@constellations9258]

@@AlyonasWatercolourCreations Thank you so much!..........I've been feeling a lot of creative block, and I thought don't expect masterpieces.........go through a journal and/or watercolor paper, and just paint without overthinking too much. I very much appreciate your videos and answer...........please stay safe.

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

CONSTELLATIONS thank you for your kind words, same to you! 🙏🏼

[@BB-nz5sk]

I have no idea what language this comment is written in....but the letters are quite pretty!

[@elizabethkoeman8883]

Loved it. How and what is glazing?

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

Essentially it's layering watercolour, and it has to be wet on dry. So you start with first "layer" let it dry fully, this part is important, and only then apply second "layer" i.e. glaze over. It can be with the same colour or a different mix, depending on the desired effect. Hairdryer or heat tool is highly useful for glazing technique to minimise on waiting time :)

[@totaqatar4978]

like your talking way🤩🌸

[@shiyanti]

I just bought myself the mijello set and ordered a bottle of oxgal with it, heared that mjello like white knights does not flow that wel,but with some oxgal in your water even if a drop or two it should improve so i am looking forward to test it, perhaps it wil help your white knight paints to ?

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

Let me know how it goes. I was considering getting the QOR oxgall as it is synthetic, because the real oxgall apparently has a strong smell to it as it comes from the gallbladder of an ox.

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Oxgall. I think the autocorrect fixes it as oxtails, which is very tasty dish when consumed. Great warm up technique... tfs!

[@shiyanti]

I wil let you know, and some brands also sell synthetic oxgal i believe. I sniffed mine after your comment haha but it doesnt really smell like anything unless you press the bottle under your nose but its still not super strong perhaps and that is pure i am plannng to mi a drop or two ith my water so doubt it smell anything then. I wil let you know what happends i have schedualed some time this evening to play with it.

[@elliestell2696]

Beautiful

[@kiwibird1980]

Thankyou :) I just got my first brand new sketch book and too scared to mess it up (I'm a beginner and not very good at drawing my sketches to start) so this will be a good first page to get over that fear of starting it.

[@vianka624]

Thanks for the video! What kind of pen is that?

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

Carbon Ink fountain pen, loaded with their Carbon Ink, it's waterproof!

[@HeiderosesPhotograph]

VERY LOVELY.....HOW DID YOU MANAGE NOT TO MESS UP THE POPPIES WITH THE BLACK INK OUTLINE.....?

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

Platinum Carbon Ink, it's waterproof :)

[@giovannajardim5292]

Lindo seu trabalho. Acabei se me tornar fã. Mas posso dizer perguntar porque não aproveita o pincel com a tinta diluída p fazer as pétalas de trás já que estas são mais claras nas pontas?

[@01fatina]

Очень нравится Ваши скетчи!

[@2lmdi]

Thank you. I'm doing this today!

[@CattieDe]

Great

[@maricarbo]

Cat De, any waterproof or water resistant marker or ink will work. I did mine with an ultra-fine water resistant marker!

[@CattieDe]

Maria Carbonell - ty for you answer ❣️👍🏻

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

It's the Carbon Ink which is waterproof! :)

[@SuperRoxanne7]

What kind of pen is that? My pens all bleed with water.

[@patnash6692]

Very helpful...thank you

[@valeriemartin3506]

TFS! This is very beautiful! This is an excellent tutorial and I am excited to try (I am an absolute beginner) BTW...If you try Oxgall, can you please do a video and show the comparison between using the White Nights w/ and w/o it?

[@gamcookin213]

What kind of paper I am afraid too much water it gonna ripe off

[@eyemakeuplooks]

What's the pen that you are using for drawing?

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

j1234 I believe it was Platinum Carbon Ink fountain pen :)

[@raggedyroad]

I love quick draw and paint warm ups to get me going. This is fabulous! Thank you! I purchased a set of Russian paints that I thought were White Nights only to discover they were not the same company. They are still lovely paints though. Did you purchase your pans separately in order to create a unique palette or did you purchase a pre selected set?

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

They might be their student grade version. Nevskaya Palitra is the brand, and they have both professional which is White Nights and the other which is the student grade watercolour. I made this set by taking out the more opaque cadmiums etc and replacing with stunning transparent colours they have. If you scroll down to some of the older videos you will see me demonstrate and talk about it. :)

[@raggedyroad]

​@@AlyonasWatercolourCreations I contacted the company and they are adamant that they are a completely different company but also located near St Petersburg. The pans are an odd size that are between full size and half pan. I purchased the 36 set for only $33 US dollars on Amazon so I can't complain too much. They are actually quite nice overall.

[@dadadapna]

I had a lot of trouble drawing/painting these flowers until I found your video. Thank you! :D

[@jessicaengelmann9083]

So lovely! I have one question. What ist the name of the scetchbook you have used? Is it special paper for Aquarell? Greetings from Germany.

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

Thanks! I believe this was the Stillman and Birn Beta Series, 270 gsm paper so watercolour works well. :)

Hi there! I just saw your tutorial and loved it. I painted the poppies and i am so happy about my picture. I posted it on instagram, with the note that i painted it with your youtube tutorial. Do you have instagram? So that i can tag you there? I made it absolutely clear on instagram that it is not my design, but an exercise I did guided by your video!
