How To Paint Raspberries in Watercolor

[@mommyput]

The other day, my 10yo son and I stumbled upon this video and were mesmerized and impressed. Today, I came home to three paintings he did, one raspberries, one strawberries, and one a bird he had "in his imagination." Thank you very much for your tutelage! I wish I could show you his creations.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

that is so cool!

[@queenterra2]

Just want you to know how much I enjoy your watercolor videos. I'm a potter but started dabbling in watercolor a while back and absolutely love it! Thanks for keeping it fun!

[@Brittlejoints]

Thank you so much -- been a watercolorist for years & still learning so much! The knife & credit card techniques are iconic!

[@tuhinagoswami7606]

Dear Lindsay ... there is a lot I learnt from you today. The way you paint ... the colour sense ... my favourite topic - nature ... and all this further brought to life by your vibrant personality!!! Thank you ...

[@vickiroblin4325]

I love listening to you while you paint. You sound like an old friend.

[@birdleggsfishstyx4433]

Hi Lindsey - I'm a beginner since April 2017. Been painting to your tutorials since then. Some good results some bad. Your tutorials are the best and without them I would not know what to do. I just finished the raspberries. Got carried away with the eraser and added more than the painting could handle. Wanted to try all the different techniques. My husband, who supports my "arting" 100% said thumbs up to my leaves, but thumbs down to the rest (appreciate his honesty). I am never discouraged, frustrated a little, but will keep on going. Thanks for all your help.

[@lalachristopher]

Lindsay, your videos are SO helpful and very well narrated, with great cinematography! Thank you so much!

[@berniceseigel6482]

You know, I never really thought of painting with watercolors. I watch you 'cause of all the information you provide me and how happy you make me feel. But after watching you, I think I'll try it. Need I say how wonderful you are and soooo knowledgable. You are like a breath of sunshine when I see that you have put up a video. Love, Love, love you! B

[@lindadonnelly6443]

Excellent Lindsay....my grand daughter's birthday is tomorrow and I just wanted to make a greeting card .... so my caption will be "to a sweet little grand daughter who is loved berry berry much !!" She is 8. Love your interesting but simple instructions.

[@susananthony2084]

I'm not usually keen on painting food, but this one was really great and so informative. I never would have thought in a million years to use my eraser to paint on berries. It turned out so lovely, Lindsay, thanks! : )

[@cowbellpeaceprize]

You really are the best craft teacher on the net. I am so very thankful because I have learned how to do so many things.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Mario Addis thank you!

[@dianehill4019]

Using an Exacto knife to create highlights...Brilliant tip! I love your loose attitude too!

[@kathiegettinger8374]

Amazing! Thank you for teaching about the different tools to use! I’ve been wanting to paint raspberries- now I know how to do that. 👏👏👏🥰

[@leewagar8579]

This is one of my favorites of yours! Your watercolors are just the type I've been wanting to paint. So many other tutorials are soooo hard for beginners, but yours are simple and easy to do. My friends are amazed at my pictures. Thanks so much for your fun, lively tutorials. No sleepy music, just your silly banter!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Lee Wagar aww, thank you:)

Lindsey, you are such a delight to watch. Thank you so much for sharing your tips. You have helped me so much. ❤️

[@Tentmakerindia]

Excellent teaching and demonstration. Looking forward for more such teaching. Thank you.

[@tanyac9428]

I was just mentally planning how I would paint raspberries and then saw your tutorial. Your way is a lot easier than I was planning. Thanks so much!

[@dianepatterson3324]

Love your tutorials. I am a beginner and learn so much from every video. Thanks.

[@beckysteffens3976]

Lindsay....you are an awesome painter and teacher. You have inspired me to pull out my watercolors, which I am normally a little afraid of!! Thanks for the inspiration and for sharing your talents with us!!!

[@amymabbott8738]

I love the variety of tools and techniques, as well as your laid back, enjoy yourself personality! Thanks, the tutorial was informative and fun.

[@berylrose3213]

A brilliant picture Lindsay I feel like I could eat one right now. God Bless

[@jeannieatkins6357]

What a great idea, Thank you Lindsay. You are so inspiring. Watercolour is new to me. I bought the right paint and paper but it has sat there in my art gear, but you gave me the confidence to get them out and have a go. If I am not too happy with my paintings I cut out the bits i like and use them in my scrapbooking. So I guess I am frugal too lol. Thank you for your encouragement.

[@kristenk1995]

Love it! I really need to get back into my crafting with the Frugalcrafter blog series.

[@MysteryViv]

I think this is your best tutorial yet. You provided great instructions for not only painting these pretty raspberries, but for general watercoloring as well. Gold stars for sure.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

MysteryViv aww, thanks!

[@giovannaalvaro8132]

Really gorgeous painting. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I am super new to watercolour and your enthusiasm and instructions inspire me.

[@lynnkoukal7014]

I really enjoyed both watching you paint and listening to you describe what you did each step. I found it very easy to understand and will try it soon, I like the tips you shared especially for hightlighting with the exacto knife, and using a credit card for your leaves. I plan on watching you more. Thanks and I liked your brush box...you are unique. Lynn

[@nette8342]

Hi Lindsay, I really enjoy your videos and I have learnt few new tips on this one, thank you for showing you craft box too, I have a little box like than and never use it but a great idea with the toilet rolls to keep everything neat !

[@sandrahmiel149]

Lindsay as far as parts of the picture or alot of pictures that are not complete or are fuzzy well i absolutely love an impressionistic look beautiful thank you

[@jelketa]

Hi Lindsay, I just found this video, it was the first one I watched from many, 3 years ago, I decided to go to the art store, bought all the materials and it was my first art project, since then I didn't stop and I have accomplished unbelievable skills, thanks so much, you really encourage people with your nice way of teaching.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

thank you!

[@AndreaFettweis]

Great idea to paint the berries with the eraser of a pencil! I must try it! Thanks a lot for this video! :-)

[@DotJFreel]

I've never heard of using the knife for highlights and I loved it!!! Love your videos. Learning a lot from you. Thank you! I'm a true fan of your work.

[@j.c.7555]

[@brendacollinsdeeks7268]

I love raspberries too! And this is such a fresh and pretty painting, I am putting this on my 'must try next' list!

[@Fg4e]

I loved this! I have just finished a very large watercolor painting of black Raspberries and it was really fun to see someone else's take on berry painting. I love your supply box! I'm always looking for ideas to store my supplies because my small kitchen and art studio are the same room lol. Your joy and enthusiasm inspire me and really make my day! Thanks so much for sharing! :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

thanks!

[@Fg4e]

Ur very welcome!

[@sandyrizzo788]

[@dorispettengill6422]

I love the way you made the raspberries !! They do look natural !! I'm going to try this for a greeting card !! Thanks for showing us the techniques to make this !!!

[@syslychoi9718]

Love your painting. Thanks so much for sharing. I just started painting as hobby and I have learned a lot through your videos!

[@sharonwebb945]

They look so fresh n delicious. I love how the blurry look in background adds depth. So realistic and believable. The technique to add highlights is fabulous!

[@fitri1026]

I love how this looks so pretty and yet so effortless. I'm definitely gonna try this out!

[@TheKlh54]

You make watercoloring look so incredibly easy! I love your "go with the flow" attitude! Love your homemade tools too :)

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Kathy Humphrey thanks!

[@sharondunn8957]

Fun, talented artist!

[@melreally]

[@amara.nthine]

"Don't let me forget to show you that." I love they way you talk to us, Lindsay, as if we're just going to talk right back :p

[@thefrugalcrafter]

The Crafty Cripple and you didn't let me forget did you? :D

[@SherylFZsmom]

omg. I was thinking the same thing. I say to myself, don't forget --whatever--as if I have an alter ego to remind me of it. hahaha.

[@baskaransiva371]

[@jessabrown3902]

Love all your watercolor tutorials but this one in one of my favs! Probably because I love to eat raspberries like they're candy 😃. THANK YOU so much for sharing your talent and your cheerful & encouraging attitude!

[@Shadri00]

A soon as I saw the title it was like 'zing!' Love berries, and this is SO pretty! Thank you for sharing. Love it.

[@ellib2231]

Great tip, I'd never have thought of using a rubber, and they have a great realistic look. Thank you :)

[@preetumishra]

[@suemartel2883]

I enjoyed this tutorial…very good tips.

[@joanngordon7955]

This was so informative - and one ends up with a beautiful picture. I also loved the idea of the paint box! TFS

[@dianemurray8379]

awesome, I can't believe I missed the eraser technique, all this time! This was fun to do, thanks Lindsay.

[@fionamoore9631]

I loved having a try at these raspberries! Thanks for the tute!

[@treenotion9466]

I tried this as my very first watercolor painting. It was fun and I'm happy with it. Thank you for the lesson.

[@berylrose3213]

These raspberries look so Real,

[@josephinetyree1476]

BEAUTIFUL........as always...Love the 'brush' box....just gave me another great idea :)

[@MarieMandolin]

Very interesting. I have enjoyed. Thanks for sharing. Marie Mandolin

[@Momo01851]

Very pretty painting. I do have a request. A Lighthouse.

[@lulugregory3246]

This is so beautiful.. I love it

[@GGGaia]

Beautiful, as always! Tfs xox

[@functionoflight]

Lindsay, This is just beautiful. I know you've tried to make watercolor very approachable, but I've still been intimidated. However, this one really makes me think... yep, I could do that. Thank you so much. Wonderful as always.

[@bejayroles5820]

I think even I can paint raspberries using my pencil eraser :). Thanks for showing the technique...and I love your brush box :)

[@janetford5188]

I have been to the allotment today and picked a bowl of delicious rasberries and while I was doing it I thought what a marvellous painting they would make, and when I get home you are doing one, spooky. I really enjoyed this video, please do a blackberry tutorial, same principle but need help with the colours.

[@deeptiharsha2668]

hi Lindsey, you are superb. I am an amateur painter taking loads of lessons from you over a cup of tea..he he...love your work and love your lively attitude...Well its my hubbys name above. I am Deepti...

[@katewalton6350]

You are so imaginative, I really enjoy watching you. Learning a lot from you. Thankyou.

[@TheKserwin]

Soft and beautiful. I am really enjoying painting with watercolors...it helps to have a great teacher. My biggest problem is with the background. I can't seem to get the hang of it. It always looks either too streaky or too blotchy. I'm using Reeves paint, but I'll go up a step (slowly) if that will help.

[@dianeruckenstein3540]

Loved it Lindsay!

[@b.peterson6541]

Lindsay: I love this! Great idea with the eraser for the raspberries, and I love the leaves, which is something that I (a painting newbie) have struggled with. Thanks for all the videos!!!

[@narcosisfilms]

Don't feel bad about the Granny Smith apples, they really are at their best cooked in pies, propagated in Australia, possibly from a wild European apple, by a little old lady named Maria Anne Granny Smith, back in 1968. Jen

[@debrapowell1803]

I absolutely loved this video! I'm going in now to paint raspberries...thanks!

[@juliebadgley1817]

Lindsay, I just found your channel. I am usually a card maker, but I just got some watercolors and I wanted to try to add them into my work. I will say that you make me feel like I could go try this technique right now an get an amazing result. I would probably end up with a huge mess. You explain everything so clearly though and show what you are doing so well. Now I kind of want to try freehand painting instead of just coloring in stamped images. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Julie

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Julie Badgley go try it now! You can do it!

[@dr.neetugarg1770]
