Such a beautiful combination of botanical, loose painterly and drawing. Wonderful!

[@nancywhite2014]

Your painting has a three dimensional quality that I like. It seems to pop out from the page. Thanks Mr. Steve.

[@eddabrandes7395]

To watch this painting process was good for my soul. Thank you.

[@karenmoss8810]

[@halnewhouser1217]

[@marta1378]

This painting is just mind blowing!!!

[@sundaysunshine2925]

Gorgeous You take the most ordinary and make it extraordinary . That’s a gift - seeing the beauty in God’s creation is a gift.

[@partialartsblackbelt8384]

I love watching you paint botanicals!

[@msgail7232]

Here in the Deep South okra is a must, especially with summer veggies like purple hull peas, Lima beans, corn, fried chicken and cornbread! Fry that okra crunchy and crisp! Okra blooms are beautiful and a great subject to paint.

[@flychk1229]

Okra! I visit farmer’s market every week in the summer so I can fill my freezer and have fried okra all winter. Yum.

[@chrismakrinos6798]

Fantastic demonstration and beautiful outcome. The real-time painting with your thorough descriptions are very useful.

[@pintsizestories196]

So nice. One year I let my broccoli go to flower. I had pretty yellow flowers into the fall and the bees loved them. I agree that beauty is all around.

[@Richard-ou6uw]

Smashing lesson really enjoyed watching

[@colorfulwater5070]

Redefining the drawing with watercolor pencil, I love this! I have been missing this. Thanks!

[@leahcalabro2787]

Really enjoyed learning from your process. Now I'm going to look for more flower videos 😊🌻

[@madelinegrudens]

[@holly-anne680]

[@jefffawver888]

Beautiful

[@dorothyminor7581]

Kent Rollins is married to the daughter of a good friend of mine. It was fun to see him pop up! Those okra blooms are beautiful! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@LeighPogue]

It turned out beautiful Steve. A random little okra bloom…who knew ! Love it

[@cindylouwhobohl6983]

Wow! Very nice garden! I would love to have that much sun. We have a lot of shade and mature trees on our property. My husband and I love okra. It has such a gorgeous flower! I love watching you paint! You are a master! Plus a great teacher!

[@phionella7]

Wow, just wow! I was recommended your channel recently and I'm so glad, you truly do beautiful work.

[@missrebeccadance]

Love the focus on the flower and how it fades into the sketch. Stunning!

[@nancyrolfe3033]

This was great video and delightful subject! Looks like a successful year and the pictures of your produce looks fantastic!!!! We just bought another house with a water well and pretty large area for garden. There’s a section in the town of 8,000 which was built in the 50’s that have these features. I’m not quite sure what we can grow in the sand and heat of West Texas but hopefully okra’s one! We are SO excited to have a place for garden again!!! We love okra anyway it’s fixed but fried is definitely our favorite!! I love it with fried yellow squash and cut fresh tomatoes on side. Yum, yum!! I’m hungry now….lol Great tutorial and beautiful painting 🤩🤩. I enjoy painting items around me too!

[@opabinnier]

Nice!

[@c.f.callier]

I never knew that okra had such beautiful flowers. I love how you captured that beauty in your painting!

[@TullaCreative]

This is such a great lesson in delicacy! The light transparent layers defining the petal veins, the hints of the leaves fading into sketchy lines, the flow of the petals - Beautiful! Thank you so much, Steve!!

[@lindaking9222]

Beautiful composition….interesting how we can find beauty in the most ordinary things than turn out to be beautiful rather than ordinary

[@cherylbrewer1218]

An amazing painting. Thank you 🙂

[@randicommand2453]

Thanks!

[@mindofwatercolor]

And thank YOU!

[@theeclecticnest5343]

Steve, when I was growing okra I was captured by the blooms as well. I noticed how similar they are to the blooms on cotton and how they both resemble the hibiscus. I researched them and found out they are all in the same family. Your painting does them justice! Beautiful!

[@mendyhand3895]

That’s cool! ….Never knew that. 👍🙏🏻🖌

[@jdschneider5858]

Oh, I'm so glad you researched the connection between okra, cotton and hibiscus. Who would have thought they're related! Thanks.

[@sidneybales9062]

That's so funny. We grow cotton and when I saw the thumbnail I thought Steve had painted a cotton blossom.

[@melissaaldosari8024]

This is so beautiful! 💜💜💜 Thank you!

[@johnchapin9270]

Like watching your videos, like to use colic markers. Retired 12/2019. Now have time to work on drawings and after oct31 will give watercolour a shot. Trying color pencils now. You and Paul Clarke & frank Clarke Irish artist. Thank you for the Motivation to try watercolor.

[@renee1292]

Just gorgeous! I've never seen okra blossoms but what a beautiful reference for painting.

[@iryna4969]

Спасибо за урок. Жаль, что не видно Ваш набросок карандашом. Благодарю ещё раз!

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

That's gorgeous. 😊

[@mendyhand3895]

Okra still good down here in Oxford, Ga. awesome painting! That needs to be a fall gift to your wife for sure! 👍🙏🏻🖌

[@margaretmcallister5422]

Lovely picture. I would love to try this on some sweet pea flowers next year. Different colours but same delicate texture and glow. As for the leak/fault you noted, I sometimes worry about such things, until I remember a family saying. "A man on a galloping horse would not notice it, and folks on foot aren't rude enough to comment."" 🙂 And it looked perfect by the time you'd finished. Thank you

[@inkiwell]

Lovely!

[@colleenmcchesney1482]

Simply gorgeous okra blossom!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video!

[@catherinelevison3310]

Extremely beautiful. After learning from you for 3 years I’m finally familiar with all these techniques so I’m going to try this too. Thank you.

[@user-wk1mw9nj3i76]

It’s so interesting to see your control of the details. I enjoyed the visit to your wife’s garden, too. Nicely done all-around!

[@kimfenton4676]

A very beautiful painting!

[@MKB0720]

This is so beautiful and thank you for all the detail information. Love your videos!

[@deborahraenelson]

Thank you for a beautiful, educational video. The okra brings to mind my grandmother making okra and green beans with bacon in huge cast iron pots. So delicious!

[@cynthiastandridge5230]

Very beautiful painting. I love the bloom and the background. I enjoyed seeing how you did the background.

[@terrilikens4975]

Next year, try grilling your okra. I could live off of it!

[@sarajamal799]

Lovely 🥰 As always amazing skills

[@ralphcrosby9622]

Like you we loved fried Okra. The flower is always a treat to see. Love the way you processed this painting. Thank you for sharing. You get extra points in this one. I always get a good chuckle with the Pop references. You killed it Cowboy Kent Rollins. He is Artist of a different style

[@mysticriver9420]

♥️👍

[@patti3d]

How beautiful! 🥰

[@cherylj.harris4967]

This is so beautiful! Thank you for such a precise description of what you are painting and why; it is so helpful.

[@craftergin]

Beautiful. I miss my mom's okra patties.

[@ellencha5975]

My daughter grows okra and I agree the flowers are pretty.

[@NWalker2010]

Hi! I love your instructional videos and have learned so much from the short time I have been watching. I really do appreciate you sharing - I’m a newbie.

[@nancyjohnson7193]

Living in northern Canada, I have never seen how okra grows. I am enchanted!! It's one of my favourite vegetables. Now I love it even more.😊 Thanks for sharing your artist's eye's view of the simple beauties that surround us.

[@susannerauch8237]

I just joined on Patreon and am looking forward to accessing the exclusive materials. I hope you and yours are in no danger from Hurricane Ian!

[@mindofwatercolor]

I appreciate the support Susanne. We should only get some rain and a few winds. It should pass north of us. Thanks for the well wishes.

[@susannerauch8237]

@@mindofwatercolor You're very welcome. I've already benefited immensely from your videos....We're in Virginia Beach and will probably not be hit as hard as you all, but I'll keep you and yours in my thoughts and prayers.

[@StephanieCorralArt]

I didn't know okra was such a pretty blossom. I only know I love to eat them in the air fryer and in gumbo! Thank you for sharing.

[@cathyriach1285]

Beautiful - thank you! PS: try 'Washy Tape" to avoid any paint leaking. Works perfectly for me.

[@melaniefox4492]

I love the detail in the center fading out to the pencil line work! I also want to try this background technique. The colors are very cool. I've also considered growing ochre as a decorative plant! The flowers are so cute!

[@mushiArt]

Absolutely beautiful! I had a friend, years ago, who requested that I do a painting of okra blossoms for her. I had no idea at the time, how pretty they are!

[@paulalister80]

Very pretty delicate painting. Okra blossoms are very pretty, never grown Okra I don’t think I’ve seen it here on the WC of NZ, must look for some seeds. Learnt so much today thank you for sharing your painting skills with us all.

[@JodiSones]

I loved this! Thank you for showing us how you did it.

[@sacrebleu1371]

Beautiful. Love how you gently apply the color and soften by removing, too. It is aiding me to think in watercolors, as I am dry pastel artist... a.t.m.

[@stonewashedskies]

I can’t find a single thing wrong with this painting. I love the high-key detail of the flower juxtaposed with the graphic lineart of the leaves. It’s a look I love, but never would have thought of myself. And that background wash is dreamy! This painting is proof that beautiful art can be made of any subject, no matter how plain or ordinary. Thanks for sharing!

[@Diana-ko5bo]

Beautiful Steve, just beautiful.
