I love this painting. So delicate and the impact of the background really brings it all to life - as you say, making it pop! You are a joy to watch and learn from. Thank you again for sharing your incredible talent and giving us all something to aim for. Have a great weekend. 😁🙏

Здравствуйте! Спасибо большое за Ваш труд! Сейчас мало мастер-классов для левшей, а ведь мы имеем свои особенности при работе с красками и карандашами. Моя душа ликует, когда смотрю в экран. Цветок чудо как хорош! Спасибо огромное и привет из Сибири ☺️

Oh Harriet! I love this one so much! Yesterday, I went to order the rigger brush and then decided to get the 4 piece set. So when that arrives I will have a complete set, ready to take on the watercolor world😜! Thanks so much! Can’t wait❤️

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Ah Brenda thank you!

[@s.terris9537]

I love this water lily - I wish you could explain the lily pads a bit more. Mine look like green blobs!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

I’ve got another water Lily tutorial in this playlist which focuses on Lily pads

A wonderful tutorial! How did you get into watercolours? Were you always artistic?

[@deWintonPaperCo]

I’ve always been creative but watercolour was through necessity to start my wedding stationery business

[@rmuller366]

Utterly amazing! Gosh Harriet, this is just beautiful. I love water lilies and using that Payne’s grey for the water just made it pop. Loved this tutorial. Very inspiring! Blessings to you and to the whole world!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks Rita! I hope you enjoy having a go

[@Cyndirella65]

I attempted to paint this in my A-Z flower watercolor painting book. I think next time I start a watercolor journal such as this, I am going to definitely get cold-pressed watercolor paper. Blending became a catastrophe! LOL. I absolutely love following you and your Patreon, You have such talent and are truly one of my biggest inspirations! thank you for all the tutorials you put out there. I have learned so much from you!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you so much for your kind words and I'm so glad you like the videos!

😍😍😍🍀🍀🍀🌹🌹🌹

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks!

[@anneke7822]

Please, can you tell me what kind of paper you use? I use now from Canson 300 g/m - 140 lb watercolor paper. It's for flowers and the leafs.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Check the episode notes

[@deWintonPaperCo]

It’s always got to be 300gsm thickness and cold pressed but I’m easy on brands
