Third grade art class Mrs. A taught me to paint a landscape ❤ never looked back

[@brendastanton1924]

I didn’t know I could draw until I took a drawing class at college when I was 45! She was amazing and taught me how to see. Then 3 years ago I started a watercolor journal to get out of a dark time in my life. Nothing negative was allowed in my journal and my mood changed rapidly!

[@RegBehrends]

Very nice, thanks I'm going to give it a try.

[@Bittagrit]

Earliest memory of loving art was elementary school. I would draw designs on my lesson pages. My mom was a hobby artist, she taught me basics and bought me a couple cheap books on drawing horses and animals. Still paint those. Spent years painting landscapes and animals. Now at 62 yrs old I started learning watercolors and am taking a class in botanical illustration. I still have fun with animals and some fantasy art.

[@JackiePeacock]

Oooh how’s your botanical illustration coming along?! I love that you’ve taken on watercolor. It’s such a wonderful art form and so portable.

I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t involved in art . My Mom and her 3 sister were all into art but more so after all us kids grew up . I took every art class that our JR. High and High School had to offer . I started painting as a preteen and still am involved in art at 69 yrs old . I recently started taking pottery classes and am having a ball . I enjoyed this tutorial !

[@JackiePeacock]

I love that! What was the art you did most as a child? I’ve always wanted to try out pottery! I hope it’s going well. Seems like messy good fun.

[@s.maskell7134]

I am the 3rd of 4 kids. I can't remember a time when our Mum didn't have us around a table making, drawing and generally being busy. For years each Christmas each kid got a 'box' in which we got our own scissors, tape, rulers, coloured paper, and things to colour with.

[@JackiePeacock]

I love that! What a fun creative thing to look forward too. Art supplies were always so much fun to get as a kid. I loved opening my stocking, because there was always a new set of markers in there. Thank you for sharing a fun memory with us.

[@nanditachoudhury9745]

I was into crafting from childhood, but fell in love with painting was around 5 years ago.

[@JackiePeacock]

Ooh what kind of crafts? I've been making these fun little yarn beanies. That's about as crafty as I am haha

[@sallybaxter4374]

I fell in love with art at an early age. When I was 13, my mother took me to Chouinard Art School for a summer life drawing class. She was a student there. I formally studied art for my BA earned in 1975. Then did none until I retired in May of 2022. Now I am compelled to create art. I do realistic pastel painting of animals and am trying to get good at loose watercolor landscapes. So glad that I stumbled across your videos on KZbin!

[@JackiePeacock]

Ooh I love that! I have zero experience in pastels, but can appreciate it, especially a take on animals. Sounds fun and hard haha I hope my videos are adding value to your own experience and journey into landscapes. 🤍🌲

[@j_fenrir]

Gosh I can't remember when I fell in love with art; I've always done it! My love of art was passed onto me by a family member and that helped kickstart my development, but I've always been looking to improve since I was a wee kid. My love of history also heavily tied in with art. I got a lot of inspiration from museums as a child and I still do today. The techniques of the old masters have always fascinated me, so I tend to work in very archaic styles. In fact, I recently completed an A1 portrait using the chiaroscuro method of Caravaggio!

[@JackiePeacock]

I love that! Museums are a great way to get inspired and to learn. Something I’d like to do more. My museums are my local trees 😂 Thank you for sharing that with us. Inspiring and what a great way to be introduced to art.

[@pennywheeler2598]

That's amazing. I love it. Now I'm going to try it and make a mess.😕🖌🎨

[@JackiePeacock]

Thank you, Penny! Woohoo! I hope you have fun with it, and it’s not too much of a mess. 😂

[@svamberiv7999]

I fell in love with art when I was 7. I watched a traditional Chinese brush painting demonstration and was hooked.❤

[@JackiePeacock]

7! Wow that's early and amazing! Ooh the Chinese brush painting is wonderful. So much talent out there.

[@tea8984]

I've always liked art. My grandma used to buy me an art set for my birthday when I was a child. I really got into art when I tried out calligraphy for the first time and wanted to try more different projects and how I could make it look nice and pretty. Then I got into water color painting and just enjoyed it as a relaxing hobby.

[@JackiePeacock]

Aww I love that. That’s wonderful that it encouraged you to grow your interest in other art forms. And Calligraphy always fascinated me! I hope these videos can inspire you and create a calming aesthetic while you’re painting. Thank you for leaving me a comment and sharing. 🤍🌲

You are so very talented!! Magnificent!

Beautiful work Jackie!!!! Perfect misty landscape indeed!!! Liked and subscribed Greetings from Italy

[@JackiePeacock]

Thank you so much for watching! I don't have too many viewers from Italy, so I'm glad you came across my foresty channel!

[@rabiadaud1382]

Beautiful ❤

[@CastleMc]

I don't use that much paint in a month and I paint daily! Very useful technique, thanks.

[@JackiePeacock]

haha. I let the paint I added to those dishes dry over night. Definitely not tossing it. Thank you for watching, CastleMc!

[@SandraMiller-qb6dy]

You just amaze me

[@JackiePeacock]

Haha thank you Sandra 🌲🤍

[@susanfontaine5214]

Jr. High school. Won 2 honorable mentions in scholastic art show!❤😊

[@JackiePeacock]

That's awesome, Susan! What was your main art practice during that time? I didn't even have art on my mind in those grades lol. I got an award in physical education if that tells you anything.

[@ЕкатеринаМакарцова-ж3з]

hello, your tree drawing technique has helped me a lot to advance my work. Thank you!

[@JackiePeacock]

Glad to hear that! Thank you for leaving me a comment. :)

[@scchawla2507]

Ummm... I can say I started drawing before I wrote... When I grew I drew in the time gaps that I found between writing, scribbling on paper... And now it's the most cherished part of me... I am all over the place in terms of mediums too...i relish hyper realism..But I love water color due to the layers that it gives... A sort of abstract exactness if that makes any sense... It allows me to be free... And dwell in nature or structures... Being there and not being there.. I tried this today, added couple of more warmer and cooler hues... Turned out great... Would love to go in more detail or forms of this. Thanks for sharing

[@sahilak4351]

❤❤❤

[@Patekdesigns]

I loved the dimension you had before you covered your sponge stippling with the brush strokes. I would have trusted your first instinct. I have the same problem where I changed midstream and probably should not have.

[@sabinegrams6271]

So beautiful 😊...thanks for sharing

[@JackiePeacock]

Thank you for watching! 🥰

[@loribrewer4822]

Hi Jackie ,. I cannot get over how beautiful your tree technique is. I re watch your tutorials ,. however ,..ughhh I struggle so much with trees and water/paint ratio but I appreciate your work and techniques

[@JackiePeacock]

Aww thank you for appreciating my work. I wish there was more I could do to help because I know even with my videos people are struggling. All I can say is keep practicing. I’m also going to include simpler trees in future videos.

[@loribrewer4822]

Thank you for the reply ,.. I look forward to view all your upcoming tutorials ,.. and I am obsessed with your moody misty tutorials ,.@@JackiePeacock

[@jenniferrue7929]

My earliest memory of art was when I was 4. I had created a picture I was so incredibly proud of. My younger cousin came over later that day and scribbled all over my “masterpiece” with permanent marker. I was inconsolable! When I finally fell asleep, my dad somehow rescued my art and removed her scribbles. To this day, I don’t know how he did it.

[@JackiePeacock]

Aww that’s relatable. We all grew up with a younger cousin or sibling like that lol. I’m glad he rescued it and changed your memory of that experience. 🌲🤍

I can't remember when I started drawing, horses were my first passion, now it's cats.

[@JackiePeacock]

Ooh I love that, Jill! Cats are my favorite!

[@Merzui-kg8ds]

I cannot find the Princeton LONG round brushes on Amazon. Ideas?

[@JackiePeacock]

@@Merzui-kg8ds what size are you after?

[@weescone001]

Can I ask, when you start putting the first set of trunks in, is the initial sponged stage totally dry?

[@JackiePeacock]

That’s a great question. The paper is still slightly wet. More so damp. The trunk can feather out depending on how wet the paper is, so I’d let it sit a minute before adding your trunks if you want to avoid that.

[@MegUSN52]

I actually wish artists would show us the full techniques in these tutorials, including the actual misting. I fell in love with art as a kid, though I would consider myself artistic in the least. I am obsessed with trees because of storms in the South as a kid and now I live in WA State with several National Parks. I got my first camera while on active duty Navy on Diego Garcia (an atoll in the Indian Ocean). Then I really got into photography when I married my husband here in WA State who was also into photography. But I would say I'm really more into photo editing and computer graphics type art, probably because I can't draw.

[@JackiePeacock]

Yes absolutely! I didn’t really include showing the mist here, but I think I’m getting better at filming and remembering to include everything. So many thing lol. But I do agree. 🤍 I hear you on the trees. Nothing like the west coast trees and forests. Just magical. I love that you’re into photography! That was my first love. 🌲 photo editing is a beautiful art form. It’s a really great tool for understanding color too.

[@markcruz359]

I got so conscious why you squeezed so much paint out right after saying you often waste paint when using squeeze tubes.

[@JackiePeacock]

😂 don’t worry it wasn’t wasted! I let it dry so I could use it later.

[@markcruz359]

@@JackiePeacock thank god water colours can be used when dry with water reactivation

[@Debnfl]

Love your style. Btw….my mother’s maiden name was Peacock, all from the Alma Georgia area.

[@sandymarr8861]

Like your technique but you are wasting a lot of paint.

[@JackiePeacock]

I've let the paint dry and I reactivate it with water when I want to use it again. Thank you for leaving me a comment and watching.

[@KathyPorter-j5b]

Don't use so much paint if you don't want to. Problem solved.
