One Stroke Fast and Simple Tulip

[@lyndarutherford2863]

I love how you explain what you are doing very slowly as you do it. It give me time to actually understand what’s happening. Thank you so much!

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

Thank you so much for watching. Happy holidays!

[@robinmazariegos1]

Excellent!! Finally someone who goes slow enough so we can really see how its done!!! Wonderful videography too! You are great!!! Thank you!

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

+Robin Mazariegos Thank you Robin.

[@sailaja5877]

Wonderful! The leaf that curved,, you showed it clearly.

[@loisdye4966]

I've watched a ton of one-stroke painting videos, but YOU are the best...so calm & relaxed & excellent easy to understand instructions....you're a born teacher

[@dawnhyde4769]

wonderful instruction, thank you so much! I am 74 yrs old and have painted all my life but now I see what to do. It is very exciting! I will recommend you to my daughter in law who is just starting to take an interest in decoration.

[@tanyaknipe7174]

thank you for sharing your simple way of painting a tulip. it's certainly one of the better ones that I've seen. :)

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

+Tanya Knipe Thank you for watching.

[@rogergoodrich2527]

I have watched a lot of people painting flowers and you are the best teaching to paint and explaining how thank you, from Roger Australia 🇦🇺 I’m 83 years old 👴🏻🌸

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

Wow! A fan from Australia. You're never too old to give painting a try. My oldest student is about to turn 90 years young. Thank you for watching. from April California, USA

[@lisavineyard348]

Yes I love the way it looks with a little of the flower color in the leaves.

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

Thanks for watching.

[@pathayes4173]

this is the best way of painting tulips I have ever seen thank you

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

+Pat Hayes Thank you for that comment and thanks for watching.

[@johannesen525]

The best painted tulip, that i have seen in a long time. As an artist myself, I am hoping to learn this technique so that I can paint tulips on my kitchen cabinets.

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

+JoAnna Johannesen Good luck to you. Thank you for watching.

[@annageil1616]

You are the best demonstrated of One Stroke. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us.

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

+Anna Geil Thank you for watching. You can also watching Donna Dewberry the creator of the technique

[@alainfrancois4064]

Thank you for that ..,your instructions were so easy to follow …one love

[@hena5756]

OMG I’m so glad to watch your beautiful artwork tutorials Thank YOU so much GOD BLESS YOU

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

Thank YOU for watching. Hope you give it a try.

[@kathleenstewart409]

Thank you for doing this! I am new to painting and have been struggling with simple brush strokes. I've watched alot of videos and yours is the one that gives the reason, the how to and the confidence to try again. Thank you so much.

[@McRaydaD00kmonster]

Your videos are like therapy. So calm and relaxing. I dont even paint, I just like watching your videos. lol

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

Thank you. Most of my students do say my classes are very therapeutic. Like painting, I find it very therapeutic. Cheaper than seeing a psychologist. Maybe you'll give painting a try. Thanks for watching.

[@Msclarity]

You are such a sweet teacher! ! Very nice tulip! Now I'm gonna practice. Thank's a lot!

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

+Lena Loren Thanks for watching.

[@mitchteacher3183]

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

Thank you Nancy. You're FANTASTIC. Hope you give it a try. Thanks for watching.

[@billiebaer4043]

Wow!! Your such a great teacher and your work is beautiful!!

[@karunagautam5920]

Beautiful art as well as teaching method

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

Thank you for watching.

[@DebbieDeeable]

This is the best one stroke tulip I've seen! I have dozens of Donna Dewberry books, wipe off teaching guides & videos. I've watched hundreds of KZbin videos. I even took a one stroke class at Michael's. You are by far the best at teaching this style of painting! You take your time and explain it so every beginning can understand it! THANK YOU! (watched your one stroke daisy first, I've tried for years to do the petals with a flat brush, I think I can do it now!) Your work is beautiful too! ;)

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

Debbie Durham Thank you Debbie. You just made my heart very happy. Thank you for your kind words.

[@deepowers3117]

April Numamoto I agree with Debbie. Often, maybe because of time constraints, I watch Donna do some paintings on her DVDs that at best aren't impressive and are at times down right sloppy. As I said before, I really like your calm voice and detailed explanations. If I had a choice between having you or Donna for my teacher and the author of my painting tutorials, I would pick you every time. Thanks for being there for us.

[@johannakohn6397]

Hi April, I really want to thank you for all of your wonderful videos. They have helped me so much and I really appreciate it!! You are a wonderful teacher and you are so patient and kind with your instructions. Thank you, again.

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

+Johanna Kohn Thank you for watching and your kind message. Give it a try and let me know how you do.

[@johannakohn6397]

I do have one question, April. I tried to follow your Plumeria video today. What I have the most problem, believe it or not, is loading my brush. No matter how I try I always "muddy" my colors. I will load white in one corner and burgundy in the other but no matter what I do, I never can keep the white from blending in with the other color. It truly is driving me nuts...lol..! What am I doing wrong....?

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

+Johanna Kohn There are couple of reasons why your colors are mudding. Check and make sure it's not any of these reasons. If it isn't, letm. 1. when picking up the paint on the corners of your brush, make sure the colors are not running into each other. 2. when blending your colors make sure you go right on top of the same colors as you blend. 3. Make sure you're not picking up too much of the medium. Too much of the medium with cause the colors to mix together. 4. There's not water in the brush when loading the brush. Most likely it's one of these reasons. Hope that helps. Thanks!

[@johannakohn6397]

+April Numamoto Thank you, so much, April!!! I so appreciate the time that you take on your videos and to answer our questions!!! I will check everything that I am doing against your list of suggestions. Thank you, again!! Blessings...

[@teririchards2590]

You made this so simple April. I've been painting all twelve of the Tulip varieties since watching your U Tube lesson on the Simple Tulip. You inspired me. Flip leaves and all.

[@abhagupta9321]

Very good🎉Best🎉

[@JoleneMarie777]

Your detail and being mindful of beginners is beyond appreciated! I really like how you explain clearly, slowly, point out everything each detail, just AMAZING your patience in teaching. Thank you kindly, you are SO MUCH APPRECIATED God Bless

[@janjones4772]

[@annwerline8717]

You are a very good teacher! Easy to follow and anyone can do it! Thank you!

[@lmautz1]

Thanks. Great instructions for a “want to be” artist. You make it look easy.

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

[@honey562012]

Your instructions are pretty clear. I think if I have my bottle or paper as I'm watching and make the moves as you make yours, I can pull this off. Thanks for sharing your tips

[@tseoiling]

You are the best teacher.

[@cathinmiko]

Nicely done dear... I really want to try this ! Thanks for the good video!

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

[@pamelabagdonas4474]

Loved the way you taught this. You showed simply how to mix the paint and slowly how to make the strokes and change up. I am just starting to paint on wine glasses and ect. and doing what I can do but this was really a great teaching tool. Thank you for sharing. ;

[@StrawberryBronc]

This woman has taught me more about painting techniques in 13 minutes than all of my art classes from elementary school to college.

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

You're very kind. Thank you for watching.

[@onthefarmwithbeth3775]

I can't even tell you how much I appreciate your calm voice, calm style, and calm teaching. When someone shows me too fast, I can rewind, but THE VOICE, THE EXPLANATION, makes all the difference. Its been a while since you have uploaded a video. I hope you are well and return to posting videos.

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

Thank you so much for your kind message. It's been a while since I uploaded a video. Just busy teaching classes. Hope to do more soon. Thank you again for watching.

Hi April, it's so good to see you are still painting! You probably don't remember me but I used to came to your house to learn to paint. I still have the first project you helped me with-flowers in a garden with a white picket fence. Thanks for your expertise! It was really fun!

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

Of course I remember! So good to hear from you! I hope you're still doing some painting. Come back and take a class. Thanks for watching. Take care.

[@mrsd712]

Very good tutorial.. I have an angled sword striper brush I call my "cheater" brush that makes great leaves, but going to try my flat one on some.. love your calm, slow instructions

[@aprilnumamoto8056]

I would stick to the brush you have. But using the flat brush will give you wider leaves where you can add several colors at one time. Thank you for watching.
