Let's Paint a Reflected Marsh| Watercolor Landscape Painting by Sarah Cray of Let's Make Art

[@helanna9843]

As a member of our county library board and someone who started a book club at our local library - thanks for the plug. It makes me love Let's Make Art all the more. (The written word is also art.)

[@sherylbrankley5847]

So excited this project finally dropped. More paintings with herons, please! ❤

[@deannamunro8148]

Great Blue Herons thrive in the area where I live - I love their prehistoric look, their patince and their incredible grace when they fly. and Yes - I too would love more heron paintings!

[@juliejackson7507]

Sarah, you are such a great instructor. I thank you for inspiring me.

[@taramarie1808]

Can't wait to paint this-- it's so beautiful!!! And even more meaningful because I also love that book.

[@kmorrow2291]

This is probably my favorite tutorial you’ve done, please do more tutorials in your style! Your passion for it is contagious! ❤

[@vikkibyington3066]

❤❤love this landscape!! I struggle with landscapes!

[@rubyfehribach63]

Good morning watercolorists! Love the project, Sarah!

[@jennifervolkert8203]

I loved this one. When I received my box this is what I did, now, after watching you paint it, I am going to paint it again. Thank you Sarah, your enthusiasm reinvigorates me every time.

[@marlene7991]

Hi Sarah! This is my favorite tutorial of yours! Along with the Birch trees and Monet Lillies. Thank you!!

[@deannamunro8148]

Sarah - yes, more herons - love them - they are my "totem, spirit" animal....and this is a beautifully captured sillouette.

[@stephaniezimmerman9351]

It was so strange to find this tutorial. I have read the book, watched the movie and re-read the book in the past 3 months. SO GOOD! Now I can't wait to paint this! Thanks for making these tutorials for newbies to watercolor.

[@gailh4978]

I love this project! I am learning landscapes and I live near marshes. So this is perfect. Thank you.

[@patriciamcpherson4667]

I love this

[@martibriner2305]

Sarah, you are a delight and a great teacher. Thank you!

[@deannamunro8148]

PS: well done - the whole picture is gorgeous!

[@juliebrocklehurst-woods5247]

I made this, turned out well, thank you! It was a challenge for me, I’m happy with the result.

[@maryfogleman8883]

This is wonderful, thank you! If you are ever passing through the St. Louis / Illinois area, make a stop in Edwardsville, Illinois. It has a beautiful preserved marshland with walking trails. It is a treasure in summer in the early mornings or at sunset. 😊

[@jacquelinehewelt7143]

I think this is my favorite so far. Thank you!

[@grammapom3756]

Thank you for this tutorial and it definitely helps me see the marsh in the book. It’s my new favorite book. I also, reread the book with the movie. ❤

[@SimplyOrganizedLLCMadison]

Thanks Sarah, it's a beautiful book. I agree with your statement on your sweatshirt.

[@patriciamcpherson4667]

Sarah absolutely love this. I am from Louisiana and this reminds me so much of home. I live in Florida now and I'm sure there are places that look like that here. Please do more painting's with Roseate spoonbill, pelicans, and heron's. I would love to paint like this just keep them coming.

[@susanrscott7910]

Love love this. It fits the book just perfectly. Would love more herons too.

[@Wenzkle]

Crazy!! Just finished reading the book for the second time since Christmas. Loved the movie too...beautiful painting 🥰

[@mistys7170]

Loves the book and movie. Go to the coast of SC. So much marsh. 😊. Also, The Bookwoman of Troublesome Creek is a similar read to Where the Crawdads sing.

[@dianedavis1833]

Loved following you along! Unfortunately, I totally destroyed my painting with the shadows. I did so well up to that point but there was no saving it. I'll keep practicing....love your painting style and thanks for sharing!

[@cynthiastandridge5230]

I love this project!

[@marieke.80]

So beautiful!! Can't wait to try this one🤗

[@moniquej3186]

wow, thank you!

[@susandenney9904]

I am doing this project for a second time. this time with arches paper. I am having trouble because my paper stays wet too long! I think your paper worked sooo much better! so much said for expensive paper!!

[@lschimes6844]

I’m so excited to see this and can’t wait to try it afterwards. I HAVE A QUESTION: I live in a humid climate … What can I do in order to protect and display my watercolor paintings without the paper molding and colors becoming moist and running? Thanking you in advance.

[@maryannegunter115]

If the book is as good as the movie, it's most likely, terrific. "Where the Crawdads Sing."

[@mikesackmary]

We're putting in a SHRUBBERY !

[@mikesackmary]

Oh man, I made a smudge in the sky. Then that became a bird, then I had to add more birds. It's birdification time!

[@mariannekeller7504]

I loved the book and the movie too! This is beautiful!! Is the outline available on its own? Thank you so much.

[@LetsMakeArt]

If you go to letsmakeart.com you'll want to use the search bar, type in Outline Library and then scroll down to the "R" section and you'll find the Reflected Marsh outline. Happy creating.

[@ennelle2024]

Dont water reflections start at the waters edge in nature? There is no break in space (white line)

[@mostlyvoid.partiallystars]

Hey @letsmakeart - your video description needs updating, it says this is Dune but it is not ;) also your time tags mention windows, so I think maybe those need to be updated. Thanks for all y’all do!

[@mikesackmary]

Wait! Are we Llmas or are we Marsh-ians ?

[@jacquicrombie7950]
