Let's Paint a Citrus Grove 🍊| Easy Watercolor Painting Project by Sarah Cray of Let's Make Art

[@thelmeena9371]

This was truly easy and sooo fun to see the bleeding and different citrus colors

[@alicepiatek7154]

Hi let's Make Art team ! I took up watercolor painting few weeks ago an I would say I'm quite a fool for it now. I'm mad about all types of creative activities and that's why I'm used to trying new things when I start becoming a bit bored of the one I've just tried out. And yet, I can't help keeping on painting with my watercolor palette every evening after work to let off steam ! I randomly discovered your youtube channel few days ago and I've already went for the carrots, the rabbit (yes, It was Easter !!), and the last one : the citrus grove. Thank you so much for sharing all your tips that let me try new stuff. You give me so much delight in this weird period with your joy and your gap-toothed smile Sarah ! You are teaching me how to let it go and appreciate imperfections and that's a big step ! Thank YOU !!!

Loved this, thanks Sarah! And mr. Michael.

I live in Florida. I need to paint these beautiful oranges for my office.

[@amandapence8068]

Thanks Sarah for talking so much about composition! It's really helpful!

[@LetsMakeArt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sarahmalm9684]

I'm so thankful that you like blooms because somehow I learned the "blooms are bad" and thought I was doing something wrong. I kind of like them also. So, thank you for taking the 'shame' away from the blooms for me.

[@LetsMakeArt]

We LOVE a good bloom. We're proud of you for learning to love them as well. Remember, no such thing as a mistake, just happy accidents.❤️

[@zoepetrovskaya1772]

Thank you very much

[@kyokuxchan]

It’s always hard for me to start painting because I’m a perfectionist, and I’m always scared that my painting won’t look as good as in the tutorials. Thank you for teaching me the oath, it helped me to not judge myself too hard.

[@lindahamilton6952]

The ending! I’m cracking up 🤣☠️

[@angd4268]

You guys are so much fun to paint with. Whenever I have a friend who wants to start watercolor I sent them to ya’ll. You make learning fun and possible!!

[@LetsMakeArt]

Thank you so much!!! Hopefully you are able to paint along with your friends for some fun quality time!

[@tabassumansari30]

[@jennifergriffith8505]

Just followed this tutorial and had so much fun! Thank you for helping us get out of our comfort zone and explore more colour and texture. I've put my painting on my phone as a screen saver! Love how cheerful it makes me feel❤

[@LetsMakeArt]

That sounds wonderful!

[@ShahanoorMamun]

Beautiful Watercolor !! This video is very important for practice! And you have described it so beautifully! Love for You ❤️❤️

[@vivienlee2743]

OMG, literally LOL'ing right now. The outtake at the end was so unexpected and just hilarious! Thank you for including that!

[@LetsMakeArt]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@christinahutchison3967]

If you cut a blood orange in half it looks purple. Loved the outtakes

[@gursimranthedesiartistinewyork]

End painting is looking so good

[@kaboart]

I find your channel very relaxing. Thanks.

[@LetsMakeArt]

Oh! We're thrilled to hear that! Thank you for tuning in! :)

[@vickilawhorn8284]

Got her good, Michael! Now I'm all loosened up and ready to paint! LOL

[@nanettehoefly7936]

Y’all are too funny 😂. A must watch till the very end 😂. Nice tutorial, btw.

[@LetsMakeArt]

We're glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for watching, Nanette!

[@perrosyjoyas]

Citrus fun fact : in México, what you call "limes" (small green ones), are called lemons, and lemons (bigger yellow ones) are called limes. Similar to Brazil nuts, called just nuts in Brazil. Or French fries in France.. ;)

[@ruthkoster4140]

I am going to try this

[@LetsMakeArt]

We would love to see how yours turns out!

[@AnthiZafeiri]

I needed this so much! Thank you Sarah!

[@elisabruxvoort2190]

I wasn't as excited about this project, but Sarah's enthusiasm wore off on me. :)

[@bonniefriesen8648]

Great close ups!

[@jamiemcgonagle1477]

I am only 12 minutes in but I had to comment first off. 4:52 says the word Kumquat, 4:53 background laugh from Michael, because it’s a funny word and why not 😂 4:44 look of “let’s not”. I’ve been in a downward spiral with my mental health and the last time I think I even watch a video was when you were pregnant the first time. I decided to get back into painting and decided to pop on and watch some videos. I’m thankful your still making content and know it’s a blessing to me!

[@LetsMakeArt]

So happy our content can bring your a little bit of sunshine!

[@anneslabinski9463]

I'm watching the tulip one from April 2019--Sarah, you should have worn that shirt to make this painting!

[@shareen_shareen]

Love it!!! I'm new to art, and new to your vids but love them :) thank you!

[@LetsMakeArt]

Welcome!!

[@eleanorivins7595]

Cracked me up!😂

[@vickilawhorn8284]

I think I'll add in my favorite citrus, lime.

[@LetsMakeArt]

Ooh limes are beautiful and oh so tasty!

[@baileighreed-grimmett4048]

Hmm I think Imma do Michaels version of "ahhhh" from now on 😂

[@Tauriel_CZ]

When I see this video, I really want to make some planets. Can you make video painting planets next time?? 🥰

[@nrminhkimzad1631]

😍

[@pearlervin]

When you have a dark orange or something and want light highlights, would you do the highlights first and then make the orange darker?🤷🏾‍♀️

[@marthaanderson2656]

yes, with watercolor you cannot paint a lighter color on top. You can lift color off, when wet, by removing paint with the brush, but if you want a whole different light color you need to put it down first or build darker colors around and leave space for the light color later.

[@pearlervin]

@@marthaanderson2656 thank you!🙏🏾

[@aliciamerline4787]

Any advice on using your own paints here? What color is close to rose red? Maybe pyrrol red?

[@lorimathews7068]

omg, the ending. I'm still laughing!

[@perrosyjoyas]

LMAO... That scream.... Hahahah... I did not see that coming

[@LetsMakeArt]

Hahah! That's why you gotta watch the entire tutorial, you never know what the ending will bring! :)

[@perrosyjoyas]

@@LetsMakeArt I always do ;).. I don't skip any part.. Love em

[@mandypittman1154]

Got a commercial in this one. Wanted to give you a heads up:)

[@LetsMakeArt]

Thanks Mandy, we will get that fixed.

[@paigericketts1130]
