Let's Paint a Firefly Forest 💡| Easy Watercolor Lesson by Sarah Cray of Let's Make Art (DIY Art)

[@jennylittlefield3293]

I LOVE u two together! I have missed this so much! PLEASE don’t let people in the comments keep u two from working together! Some people are going to complain no matter what u do. Don’t get me wrong. I loved Michael. I think it’s just I had gotten so used to Keenan that it was just different when he was gone. Just happy u two are working together again. Sarah, love this painting. I have learned so much from u. Best teacher on U Tube!

[@LetsMakeArt]

You are so sweet Jenny!

[@ferociousmop6642]

I need someone in my life who makes me laugh while I paint like Keenan does for Sarah 😂 it makes me so happy to watch. Just so wholesome and so much joy.

[@FoxRogers]

That was fun even just to watch! I always watch through before painting, thanks Sarah and Keegan! 🥰

[@aaajjjjaaaj]

You guys are the best! ~*YOPO!!!!*~ I seriously could watch you guys all day long. Please don’t ever change and just keep on keepin’ on. Learning and painting are second to you all. I wish we were friends.

[@LetsMakeArt]

Thank you so much for your support! We would love to meet you one day!

[@jeankennedy-hubler2484]

I really miss fireflies and crickets. But Seattle has owls hooting at night. That is cool.

[@xkini07]

I love how Keenan lifted you out of your blues today. Extra points for knowing “barely there” which is a nude pantyhose color. He’s a riot. Stay well Sarah.😎

[@staceymayes5643]

YOPO!!!!!! LOL!!!

[@mikesackmary]

Keenan and Sarah. Y'all are a GREAT team

[@goldpig1964]

Sarah and Keenan have such great energy. I love her laughter. Makes me happy. Even if I don't do the paintings I always, always, always watch the tutorials.

[@LetsMakeArt]

Awe thank you! That is quite the compliment.

[@laurashuster2442]

I agree! Sometimes I just want to second-hand make art. LOL. And they are fun together and it is relaxing to watch!

[@mostlyvoid.partiallystars]

Omg the Reese’s confessions hahahaha. I think every project that has a “wait for it to dry” needs a “true confessions from Sarah” segment 😂😂😂

[@christinedrake1645]

this is the best masking material ever....so glad to have it in a pen form.thank you

[@perrosyjoyas]

Ding ding ding.. Bringing the happy.. I need a bell too..

[@sarahanney7658]

Omg yopo 😂😂😂 you two are the best!!!!!

[@LetsMakeArt]

Sarah and Keenan truly are one of our favorite duos, don't you agree?!

[@pw4075]

Beautiful painting ... love the atmosphere that was created! When I worked in a graphic arts department (many moons ago), we referred to that eraser as a rubber cement pick-up eraser. If you run your hand lightly over the painting, you can generally feel any masking fluid that remains on the piece.

[@LetsMakeArt]

That is a good note about how to check for any masking fluid left behind.

[@janetlavin101]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorials I’ve learned so much about painting and drawing and atmospheric perspective! 😂 You’re so much fun to watch every week, even if your low energy.

[@LetsMakeArt]

Thank you Janet, that was so kind of you to say.

[@christinahutchison3967]

Beautiful great project

[@karahartten203]

Loved the YOPO

[@kimberlyjennery]

OMG I almost pulled something laughing at YOPO ... Love you guys! Sarah, I hope your low energy passed and you are doing things that feed your soul! Keenan, keep being you! YOPO ... hahahaha!

[@laughsdaily]

YOPO 😂 I am excited to try this and have more laughs again… thank you for another great project …

[@LetsMakeArt]

Have fun!

[@saritaschwedes8393]

the eraser is called an adhesive eraser among other things! 😳I’ve always said that I can’t draw because I can’t draw a straight line with a ruler… but… you’ve convinced me that nature has no real straight lines!!! thank YOU for all you do🌸 maybe show us how to paint lightening? ✌🏼🌸

[@LetsMakeArt]

Lightening would be an interesting project! We will add that to our request list.

[@jessicahavens-ziebarth9409]

I think you meant “Lightning” (electricity on nature), “Lightening” is a process of becoming lighter (in visuals or weight, or mood...”lighten up!”). Anyway, I love your idea. I’d like to make a realistic landscape with dark clouds and lightning.

[@perrosyjoyas]

Came back for seconds and to request a tutorial of a guitar in closeup even with splatters or abstract background.. While Keenan does his thing.. And Michael as a guest playing guitar on the background.. Everyone in favor say aye.. Aye!!

[@LetsMakeArt]

That would be fun! We can add this to the request list.

[@paulinesmit8364]

You guys are like Bonnie & Clyde… so hilarious 😂 Keep the comedy 🎭 & confessions coming 😂

[@soapysalads]

I was thinking the hot pocket theme instead of the Red Robin theme. Now my mind is blown that they are the same!!

[@LetsMakeArt]

Trust us to come up with a fun food fact.

[@FoxRogers]

Dude. They are 🤣

[@mikesackmary]

First layer done.......fingers crossed

[@shelleysteffens9255]

Question re MP: I used it on the Landscape. It was late and my piece was still wet so I waited til the next day to remove; however, the next day I decided to make some area more dynamic in color so added paint. Once it all dried, I noticed the masking fluid had sort of let the paint seep in the lines AND I couldn't feel to much masking fluid (wasn't able to rub it off much to reveal white underneath). Where may I have gone wrong in my assumption that the masking fluid could stay overnight or...?

[@dragonplus7354]

I had the same problem with mine and I rubbed off the masking fluid on the same day. :(

[@bharatartbox7457]

Very nice work keep it up god bless you dear

[@LetsMakeArt]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@maryegidio5377]

I'm not mad about it takes on new meaning! 😂😂

[@cynthiaholbrook6353]

Does that make sense? It would if I could trust you.

[@shelleysteffens9255]

BTW: The MP I used was the one received in the kit. The other time I used the pen it worked as expected. It was the second time I used it, after waiting a day then adding more paint that it acted as indicated below (my post 35 minutes ago). Any clue as to what might have happened?

[@LetsMakeArt]

Thank you for reaching out Shelley, I have taken you question to the team. We have never seen it sitting overnight becoming a problem. Did you shake your pen before using? If the fluid is not fully opaque it has not been shaken enough.

[@shelleysteffens9255]

@@LetsMakeArt Yes, I did shake the pen. I also double checked to make sure I used the same side of the paper. I did use the same side on both. BTW, which did you mean as the proper side to use: I used what feels like a looser weave...correct?

[@TalaiRain]

The dandilion trees that Keenan was describing was probably Cottonwood. it is beautiful, but horrible for the allergies.

[@LetsMakeArt]

Cottonwood trees are the bane of those with allergies!

[@ivoril5448]

My biggest hurdle doing watercolor is waiting for the layers to dry. I am always to impatient 🙃

[@LetsMakeArt]

Love waiting for paint to dry.😉 Have you tried a Heat It Craft tool before? If not, we totally recommend trying it one out to help cut down the drying time with your projects. www.letsmakeart.com/products/heat-craft-tool?Social&

[@melodycrites3145]

Are these watercolours liquid?

[@LetsMakeArt]

Hi Melody! Yes, Sarah is using Dandelion Paint Co. liquid watercolors. She prefers to use liquid paints for their vibrant colors.

Waiting for YOPO merch

[@LetsMakeArt]

One day.

[@gailebsworth3453]

What is the dandelion tree called please? Hope Keenan gets some chocolate!

[@michelleb4697]

I would bet it's a Cottonwood.

[@cheapscaitcreates7362]

When are we getting YOPO merch???

[@LetsMakeArt]

Keep your eyes open there may be something new coming soon!

[@paulinesmit8364]

YOPO 🤣😂😆😁

[@annastaziacamarena9615]
