Paint a quick hummingbird in watercolors {quick & easy!}

[@RockyFloral]

I don't just like this video, I LOVE it. Seriously, I want to watch it over and over again. I have always been a major perfectionist and my art teacher in high school would bust my chops over it because I was so hard on myself (and still am). My favorite art medium was always watercolor but I become flustered too easily and my teacher said it just didn't work with my personality and how I can't accept mistakes or not have control over everything. Since graduating high school I've been determined to one day get back into watercolor to help me personally overcome that control problem I've always had. Watching this video I would squeeze my hands and get panicked at times over a mistake possibly about to happen and what I loved was that you are completely okay with it and you carry along. It made me so happy and hopeful to one day work with paint and be that relaxed!

What a lovely hummingbird and it looks so simple to do but not for shaky hands. Thanks for sharing!

[@aerowise1321]

You're all hyped up on the coffee, buzzing like a hummingbird! It really adds to the loose energy of the painting! I like this loose style, gonna go get me some Joe and buzz a while, paint me some bumble bees>>>>> >>.> loose and buzzY! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@Petramalia]

Hi Lindsay, a few years ago I bought a cheap watercolor set on a whim and was searching KZbin for tutorials to get me started. This was the first one I came across that I really enjoyed watching and painting along with, and this hummingbird was my second-ever watercolor painting. In the 3 years since, I've grown so much as an artist and I really have you to thank for that. Your positivity and joy for painting inspired me and got me through some of my early hurdles and self-doubt about whether I was "good" at painting or not. Now I watercolor cards and paintings for my family and friends and I have the confidence to put my work out into the world and you're the person I have to thank the most for that. Painting has brought me so much happiness and creating is so wonderful, and I don't think I would have discovered this passion without you, and this tutorial. I still follow along on your more recent tutorials because you are so inspiring and fun to watch. Thank you for everything :)

[@jaspermartin7444]

lol I love listening to you ramble Lindsay no matter how much coffee you've had to drink or really, anything you do! Your attitude is always so upbeat and positive, always a pleasure dear! 💖💖💖

[@lulugregory3246]

I love watching your videos, you seem to be having so much fun and if you make a mistake you totally go with it rather than stressing over it. I need to be more like you.. and if I can paint half as well I will be winning! Thank you for just being you!

[@wichardkemp7139]

my new youtube craze, watching people create amazing watercolour art.

[@willobird]

Just started using watercolors and am happily painting different kinds of birds. I learned something from your video. "Mix your darks from the colors you are using." Great advice!

[@joys4524]

OMG, Lindsay, lol, no more coffee for you! This was fun, thank you. I think this is the third time I have watched this tutorial and have yet to paint this. You really brighten my day. I did paint the door today that you taught last week though. It isn’t great but, hey, it was loose and I haven’t painted in 2.5 months. It is hard to get back in the groove after not painting for so long so I am happy that I could actually paint again! Time to get back in the habit of doing something every day (I hope, lol). Thanks again. Remember, take all the time you need on a tutorial, it can always be fast forwarded for those who find it too long. It really helps me when I see the whole process. 🤗❤️🙏🎨🇨🇦👩🏻‍🎨

[@pamelaanderson7708]

Really love how you show ALL of what you're doing...mistakes and all! And how to correct those mistakes. Thanks for your very upbeat and informative videos!

[@rubberartist]

Yarka! I love your older videos, and usually have the supplies. What a pretty hummingbird. Thank you.

[@julieklein2929]

great little video on painting a hummingbird....it is truly amazing what a few well planned brush strokes will do!

[@luwei1120]

Dear Frugal Crafter, I really love your video tutorial, your teaching/exploring style, and your humor! After two years you are still the best!

[@tfayegriffin]

Lindsey, You are a beginner's best friend. Thank you for sharing the joy of watercolors. I'm learning so much from your tutorials. No pretense. Just paint. Love it! Keep up the great work!

[@yessanime6058]

I love how relaxed you are about everything, it really motivates me to come out of my own comfort zone and not get stressed over the little mistakes. Thank you so much!

[@janedoe8225]

This is the best tutorial. Because I will be doing a painting for my mother for her mother's day gift. I know passed the day, but she lives out of state and I will be seeing her next week. So this is perfect. Thank you

[@rosycheek6709]

So beautiful. I love that you don't overthink it because that's why it's so gorgeous.

[@carmenhays7997]

Lovely hummer, and the coffee-d up chatty Lindsay is my fave version!

[@crazycatlady2162]

Holy cow! This is the very first time I have ever watched any kind of painting videos (with the exception of "the happy tree guy" when I was a kid) and I have just fallen in love! You, my Lady, have got yourself a new subscriber!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+B_ Beecroft 619 aww, thanks!

[@linda19783]

Linsey, you are truly a talented artist thank you for always sharing your gift and awesome knowledge of all you do. Your the most inspirational artist I've ever had the privilege to watch and learn from.

[@carolsiegle2857]

You are such a joy to watch. ALWAYS love seeing what new painting will come next

[@reynaldomartinez7861]

It's So Amazing how she makes it look So easy the way she draws the hummbird So fast just like that and the flowers look just right to .then when she paint the hummbird So real like it's going to fly off of the page.i guess it's takes time to get it right just keep it up never gave up on your painting just do the best you can .

[@reynaldomartinez7861]

I have used this water Color drawings in my pottery Vases .

[@tyresetwala2043]

i was a grade 8 art student who was scared of painting but know since i have seen ur tutorials i have changed .!!!i might even do it as a career!!! THNX A LOT

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Tyrese Twala Good for you! Make sure you get a secondary career like business to help you along as artists are usually self employed and will need those skills and a business degree will always return your investment.Happy painting!

[@bluecurlygirl]

So funny watching this again. You were on a real caffeine buzz that day. Caffeine + day at beach = superfast eager to get away Lindsay!!! Love this tutorial. Great that it's so much fun to watch over again too!!

[@Faerysong1]

I have always shied away from iridescent colors or metallic colors. I usually get to serious with my paintings, but you really have inspired me to get some to try. I do Love sparkly things! Like nail polish, fine glitter, I can see now that the this could be Wonderful!! TYFS...Alice

[@cloverrabbit5622]

I just finished tackling the hummingbird tutorial, I've been wanting to do this one for quite some time. I have lots of hummingbirds that come to the feeder everyday this time of year. I didn't have any metallic paints so I used stickles instead! Thanks for all the great videos you have made, I enjoy them very much. I just need to practice practice practice more!

[@MelindaTodd]

How fun and I love the way you teach. I can hear your smile. I can't wait to try this!

[@berolinastrassmann]

Yt decided to showme this today. What a gem from the past. Like this hummingbird a lot! Maybe there is a 2023 version sometime soon? ❤❤

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Maybe, this the season!

[@rosegal8499]

watching u I can tell ur a true artist because they are never happy with their work, lazy artist or not ur painting is beautiful

[@yvy0503]

LOVE your honesty and LOVE your painting!!!! 2 thumbs up for U!!!

[@Bluelotuslily9]

Yes to the feathers at the end, little dots. I so enjoyed watching your video! thank you so much.

[@delila351]

I love the way you teach.............happy and you make me laugh while I learn. thanks.

[@dianajones8598]

Thank you Lindsey! I listen to you at night sometimes to fall asleep. Your voice is very soothing. I enjoy all your tutorials and I am learning a lot. Blessings:0)

[@sac1303]

As always, beautiful art, beautiful commentary/energy, beautiful spirit. Thank you.

[@seanmaclellan1920]

I have a hard time with stick people, so I'm always in awe of people with this much talent.

[@maryholt359]

Liked seeing the metallic paint used. I have used pearl before but not the metallic. I have a problem with wanting things just so. Nice to watch someone work who gets wonderful results without being so demanding on ones self.

[@meadowdancerwow]

Thank you, Lindsay. You make it enjoyable to learn.

[@lorianzaldo1041]

You are the Grand Master of crafts, the go to person. I am a scrapbooker by heart and work with stamps. With that said I am starting to watch a lot of your video's. They are wonderful and your personality just exudes with delight. You made me brake out of my comfort zone. I did try to draw the humming bird with flowers. It came out alright but I have not colored it in yet. I am going to scrapbook about braking out! Thank You Lindsay for all that you give to us on KZbin. L~

[@thefrugalcrafter]

L Anzaldo Thanks so much! I'll share a tip with you, I often draw a picture on tracing paper and then transfer it to my good paper or canvas to paint, that way if I mess it up or decide I want to paint it in another medium I can. Especially if I am working on a complicated piece that takes a lot of time to draw:)

[@lorianzaldo1041]

thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich Thank You for your tip it makes a lot of sense. I will pick some tracing paper up.L~

[@beloved4evr]

I love it! You are so spontaneous and light hearted! THanks for making these videos!

[@julvwildcat190]

I love listening to you talk during your lessons. Maybe that's weird lol. I haven't figured out why yet. Love the hummingbird.

[@AudreyGranWeinberg]

Thanks for this! I liked the techniques and also the fact that you admit to being imperfect! Aren't we all? But really, don't be so modest! It's a beautiful little hummingbird and nice instructions too!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Audrey Gran Weinberg thank you:)

[@Multicrafter1]

Awesome! I'm just starting to do water color painting after watching you. I have identified why I like your teaching methods above all, you allow us to participate in your own creative process vs doing a presentation, & it's wonderful. Thank you....

[@samanthaleane9283]

You are totally and utterly awesome and have saved my 3rd wedding anniversary present problem. I live in a small rural town and not many shops. Got not much in way of presents here, go to newsagents and could only find a business card holder. Welll this has turned out the most awesomeness present ever (zipped up on coffee and ever so humble lol). Cut card to business size and made about twentyish cards to fit in holder. Your hummingbird, pink rose and "loose bird" were quick (not as good as yours) but pretty good. Thank you for sharing and keep up your awesomeness xo

[@nadanumber1]

I love the energy you bring to your videos! I see other painting videos and the maker is really quiet or boring and doesn't bring any energy to make the video fun to watch.

[@AndreaMN]

What a generous soul you have, thanks so much for sharing this, helped my teenage daughter immensely

[@thefrugalcrafter]

glad to hear it:)

[@kushlatadevi5670]

Very nice

[@cyndiegran]

I love the short videos! My goal is to do one a day for practice, relaxation, and praising my Creator!

[@serenity2288]

I tried this drawing but I colored it with chalk pastels instead of watercolors, since I don't feel comfortable with those yet, and I love the effect! Thank you for all these inspiring videos!

[@yoopinoque911]

You are incredibly talented, your works are full of joy! Thanks.

[@susanweekley6152]

Hummingbird avariey near Tucson in the 90's had a amazing collection. You refreshed the memory...inspiring.

[@graciellaloprete6996]

Wow baby! For me you are the greatest artist here! I love all your projects! What a wonderfull and lovely tableau! I love it! Many greetings from switzerland send you Graciella

[@hemaramoutar3654]

love your carefree approach. Makes me want to give this a try for sure!

[@donnaeturner]

Lindsay, you always cheer me up and give me inspiration to paint! Thanks.

[@BeverlyBaxley]

I am really enjoying your painting. You make it look easy, your chatter is entertaining and informative. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@elainelawson9494]

Lindsay, I thank you so very much! I've never had lessons in painting. I'm a stamper and a painter of images already drawn, but you've started me on getting out of my safety zone. I've done the berry and the hummingbird pieces, and they almost look like I want them to! You are very generous with your talents and time. I especially celebrate the great, kooky laugh you aim at yourself! Elaine Lawson

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Elaine Lawson thanks Elaine!

[@_keara]

That is the best drawing I have ever seen and I'm not even kidding!

[@bucky341]

I enjoyed your video, this is beautiful! I am new at watercolors and after doing the five that I did you just made me feel like I was trying to hard! It was okay t/y lol... I will have less tension now! I also like how you let it dry a few minutes before doing the smaller areas! I try to associate something beautiful from nature with people I love who had passed away and the Humming Bird reminde me of my youngest Aunt...Thank You Kate

[@aether180]

In high school I was in an art class, I won some competitions etc.. but because of a serious joint-illness i gave it up. I started to take photographys, and BAMM- we are ten years later. My mom died, I graduated for university and photos was not enough already. So I start to draw again. Not easy to re-start. not used skills for a while = almost have no skills. Pencil drawing goes almost such as before the gap, but painting stresses me every time when I take a brush. I stressed = work sucks....aaand, then, I found your channel . You give my hope back! Just finished your (my!) hummingbird some minutes, and not so bad! :) ( I have a high maximalism level :D ) So, thank you again Lindsay :) I think, I will try your other tutorials too! ( Sorry for grammar mistakes, English is my third language and in my country it is late night :D )

[@lynnhansen5709]

You and the birdie are adorable!

[@MsJDurrant]

i really enjoyed your non stress attitude you let things flow. Beautiful talent you have. please share more.

[@lilyatiti6786]

This painting is so awesome and the colors are so beautiful

[@thefrugalcrafter]

+Lilya Titi thanks!

[@janedoe1174]

You are fun to watch and I enjoyed your video. I agree that artists should just wing it from time to time and not be to serious. 👍🏻😊

[@RockPaintingMomma]

I love your teaching style!! As a beginner, I'm not so intimidated, so thank you!

[@karenedgar8614]

Very nice. You inspire me to just go with it! Love the added metallic colors.

[@heathersmith8532]

I've just started watercolour painting and found your tutorials so helpful! Love this little hummingbird....Thank you for sharing x

[@hikingwithcooper6065]

Omg. You are hilarious. I enjoy your high energy and humor, and of course your art work. Thank you for making entertaining and education videos.

[@lilycessna3077]

I LOVE your style. I tend to be a lazy/ abstract artist myself. going to use your idea for my wall located at my stairway landing!

[@KWHCoaster]

Great result! And good idea for the iridescent paints. I had an idea for a painting for Mother's Day, but I think I'll also have to give this a go as my parents have a hummingbird feeder at their kitchen window.

[@loriwisneski-wenger8741]

Absolutely love your continuous banter in your videos. You are always so positive and pleasant! Keeps things real and personal. I feel like I'm watching an old friend. Keep doing the good work, Lindsay! God Bless!

[@annbrockman9557]

you make it look so easy.....lol.....love the hummingbird!

[@JohnScottFore]

Ha ha! You are a nut! I really enjoy watching you paint and listening to you ramble.

[@AdventuresInHaiti]

Holy cow! What a difference artist grade watercolor paper makes. It's hard to find identifiable labels in English here (Japan), but I found some Cotman paper yesterday. I've been using stuff from the dollar store...I did this painting on the Contman paper and the colors come out amazing!

[@duelliiace]

You should buy some Holbein (ホルベイン) watercolors there! They're one of the cheapest artist grade WC, and they're very awesome to use. And their colors are printed also in English! :)

Your name reminded me of my old art teacher's name, Lizzie Winrich. I love this! Hummingbirds are beautiful, and I adore them. Two hummingbird feeders decorate my patio, along with an Indian style painting of hummingbirds in my room! Keep up the good work!

[@ksoesbee2006]

This works really good. So easy! I didn't have a purple watercolor paint so I used an indigo paint. It looked great! If you get a tissue and dab the whole thing it mixes all the colors and looks awesome!

[@luisdelarocha]

I enjoy a lot you videos. You make me laugh and relax. You are a great inspiration and awesome teacher. Than you for your videos.

[@viviannabueno4599]

all I know is when I grow up I want to be a painter and it turned out to be really good for this watercolor project and I just wanted to tell you that comes up I'll subscribe and you are really awesome to be painting the stress and you are special for before too actually actually gold to the videos and I guess video tape all of this
