How to Paint Avocados 🥑| Watercolor Painting for Beginners by Sarah Cray of Let's Make Art

[@marthaanderson2656]

love this project as a follow on to last weeks daffodil; building layers light to dark to create form and depth.

[@annehebert6959]

I love your tutorials. I always learn so much - not just in painting - but also from Michael and Keenan when they give us fun facts. Thanks for brightening my day!!!

[@LetsMakeArt]

You are so welcome!

[@kocobee]

Thank you so much! Bought my first box and I just painted my first watercolor picture following this tutorial. I learned a lot and had fun also. Happy Painting everyone!

[@LetsMakeArt]

[@LetsMakeArt]

Glad you like them!

[@samibuck]

I loved this! 🥑❤️

[@nguyenthehung237]

the most beautiful avocado watercolor, awesome teacher Sarah, could you make similar video like that about other fruits, animals, flowers, leaves

[@ShahanoorMamun]

Beautiful!! It's a really very good tutorial for beginners! 😍

[@LetsMakeArt]

Glad you think so!

[@tinaysfoodlab]

thank you again sarah

[@mrdameacham]

Just painted this for a thank you card. Used acrylic watered down since I don't have watercolor and it still turned out fine. Thank you for your tutorials!

[@LetsMakeArt]

That is a great idea! Thank you for painting along.

[@pyromancyglassart8975]

Thanks for making great videos. Someone takes time doing them... Thanks.

[@LetsMakeArt]

We are happy to hear you are enjoying them! Thank you for watching.

[@jessicaneff5928]

This looks like a lot of fun and I feel like a lot that we learned from the gouache papaya can be used here, too. Thanks, guys! Excited to try this 😊

[@LetsMakeArt]

Our pleasure!

[@reginamalm]

This was so fun!! I messed mine when i tried to make it bleed but still fun. I always do each project two times. Im also heavy handed w salt. Thank you !! I have been painting with you for a year and still enjoy it like it new.

[@LetsMakeArt]

Salt can be fun to be heavy handed with. The textures are so exciting.

[@jenscloset]

Nice!! Thank you!

[@pearlervin]

I’ve been waiting on this video!!!

[@LetsMakeArt]

Yay, so happy you were excited for it.

[@pearlervin]

@@LetsMakeArt I’ve tried avocados so many times. Hopefully I can learn something new and try again!

[@mariafoster5331]

Super behind on my subscription but I’m dying over tree egg!!! 😂😂😂

[@LetsMakeArt]

There is no such thing as behind!

[@marthapreston2929]

Feels like you and Michael weren't really vibing tonight. The avocados didn't suffer though.

[@barefacedquestions]

Does Sarah prefer a butcher tray to a palette with wells? Because there's no division in a tray, how to avoid accidental color mix-up

[@LetsMakeArt]

Sarah drops in small amount along the edges. If you don't love the mix up that can happen with the butcher tray, another option to check out would be to pick up a circular plastic tray to store your paints in while you're painting, and then use the butcher tray for mixing only. www.letsmakeart.com/products/water-paint-tray?Social&

[@emilykoch3104]

Michael needs to get the kitchen tool specifically for avocados I have it and love it because my husband gets nervous around me handling sharp knifes for that same reason

[@LetsMakeArt]

Great idea!! Fathers day IS coming....

[@michelleb4697]

NPR had a story reporting that "avocado injuries" are on the rise as consumption increases 😲

[@boredkidshavefun6703]

38:52 do you have to keep adding green

[@melbillmc]

Try avocado and pineapple as a salad with cilantro

[@LetsMakeArt]

Oh that sounds so good!

[@debbielavender2756]

Michael is really messing with my head 🤣 A banana is a berry, but a strawberry isn't!!!

[@LetsMakeArt]

Right?

[@pyromancyglassart8975]

I was confused but fig I would get the tutorials right away with getting a box . But I was wrong you have to be subscribed to get them.. Anyway. Tonight my daughter told me she subscribed. What a great thing she subscribed for me and just let me know... So it was my fault for not understanding ( sorry for all the Texs) I Am So happy and that I understand know. Love the post card, the tape works great.. Is there a place I could show my finished work for ur viewers to see? I am so enjoying my May box.. Thank you again Pyromancey Glass Art. Kathy

[@michelleb4697]

I love this project, the colors really appeal. (Though I am one of the minority of people who think avocados are yucky tasting!)

[@LetsMakeArt]

It's okay, everyone is due their own taste....and it means more avocados for the rest of us.

[@elliomoon]

just a question Sarah are you saying Pit or Pip lol sorry not sure if it's because of your accent or my hearing

[@treehuggingbuddhist]

Is it Wednesday because I’m really confused? 🎨 👩🏼‍🎨

[@LetsMakeArt]

It is Wednesday now! We were so excited to share this tutorial with you that we may have turned it loose a little early! ;) Hope you enjoy it!

[@treehuggingbuddhist]

@@LetsMakeArt I always do! plus I got a head start 😂

[@melbillmc]

Oath?

[@elisabruxvoort2190]

oh it's there- at 2:30.

[@jenscloset]

So funny that you don't remember Michael's avocado injury!

[@LetsMakeArt]

We tend to block things like that.

[@perrosyjoyas]

Lol.. And here I was like "noooooo, not the good knife... It'll dull it".. Lol... I do get mini heart attacks when wrong knife is used for something else.. It's like fabric scissors.. You just don't use my knives..

[@LetsMakeArt]

This makes sense, just like using watercolor brushes with acrylic paint and then letting them sit and soak in the water.

[@perrosyjoyas]

Yesssss.. :p

[@Plantsandmusicandyarn]

Seriously! 😂 I’d never let my good Japanese knife near an avocado pit. I actually just squeeze the pit out.
