Painting Tutorial - Sandy Duncan

[@gailgassen8670]

So very pretty! She was always one of my favorite actresses.& you a marvelous job. Thank you for showing & sharing your talent!

[@lyndsaylou09]

Beautiful portrait! I love the purple tones.

[@DRmakeupgirl]

I can't put into words how comforting it is to watch you paint. Your voice is perfect for narrating your videos. I'm forever in awe of your water color talent. I remember watching Sandy Duncan on TV growing up and you've done an excellent job painting her. I'd love to see more of this kind of painting with one color.

[@bayoufever]

I hope she did indeed get to see this. How honoring to be rendered so flawlessly.

[@sanjibroychowdhury2873]

Watching you paint is such a lovely experience. And your calm, soothing voice! Oh, I definitely love your voice.

[@Rinoula13]

Amazing work! Will try to make a portrait using your techniques. Thank you for sharing! :)

[@jagger8]

I'm thrilled every time you put a new video up. You're so good.

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

Yay, thanks a lot!

[@lindseyelza1222]

You have an amazing gift! Thank you for sharing it! I am also very appreciative of how you took the time to add side notes like the size of the brush and the exact colors. Thank you!

[@artat777]

Wow that is incredibly beautiful painting of Sandy Duncan such a wonderful lady and such a wonderful painting

[@yessyo7405]

love your paintings!

[@OakwildeDesigns]

Love it! You really captured her natural beauty and how I think of her. Wonderful woman!

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

Aww, great!

[@Chinderliter18]

You have a wonderful and rare teaching style. I feel lucky to have found your channel!

[@nataliepierce2926]

Thanks for this amazing tutorial - I'm going to be trying my first watercolor portrait this weekend (thought monochromatic would make it a bit less stressful) and this is exactly what I was looking for! I can't wait to try it out!

[@kimesch9698]

I saw her on Broadway as Peter Pan for my 16th birthday. She flew right over my head! What a wonderful performer.

[@GAPeachCooksandCreates]

That was a beautiful rendition. It just goes to show, you can do as much with one color as you can do with an assortment.

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

Thank you! I still love doing paintings like these. :)

[@juliewhiteley2211]

That is fantastic xx watching that paper come to life was great xx thankyou for sharing

[@slee5812]

I love monochromatic watercolors. Thank you!

[@nhuhohl]

Amazing. I wish that you have more tutorial videos of such incredible watercolor painting

[@pumkin54]

That is really fantastic. I started out painting monochromatic, but soon got caught up in the color frenzy (and my paint drawer shamefully hides this evidence). Having been away from painting for awhile, I've been struggling to get back to my old level. Seems going back to the basics might be an answer. I hadn't even thought about it! Thanks for this video. Very inspiring.

[@gloschurman8775]

another great video - so inspiring - I've been practicing will now try monochromatic, great idea

[@MintCryptidArtist]

I am new to watercolor and loving it. It is helping with my anxiety. :) I love how you describe seeing them come out "slowly rising out of a vat of milk." This helped me see what is going on better. I am starting my first monochromatic piece!

[@andinickelnoland]

i googled this image and it looks EXACTLY like Sandy Duncan!!! You are truly amazing at your art.. i think the hand looks great!!!!

[@NotThatBob]

Being new to drawing and painting, I find the idea just great! Beautiful painting btw.

[@fonsecalida1]

Amazing i feel so inspired to do a monochromatic painting! :)

[@barbr100]

wow, you really captured the essence of Sandy Duncan!

[@ItsRoseForYou]

Thanks so much for making this video! I wanted to try watercolour for quite some time, but I was always "scared" for mixing all those different colours. And then I found this video :) I made my first painting yesterday and it looks really nice :D Thanks for all the tips!

[@reberuth2335]

This was PERFECT!!!! I love it!!! Blessings, Becky!!!

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

Thank you!

[@glamourgeisha24]

Just one word. WOW♥

[@qamranjan2400]

So so much beautiful painting n teaching way n guidance 4 beginners.thank u.

[@CrombieAberFitch]

Thanks for more close ups on this video!! And taking about consistency with your paint.

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

You bet! I have a new video program, and that makes zooming easier because I can do it after recording. I lose a little on the resolution when I do that, but I think it makes for a more interesting video.

[@CrombieAberFitch]

It does it help a lot more in knowing what details to focus on. THANKS!

[@brendawillems792]

Stunning, 😍 give me a feeling of Art in the 60ties!

[@tracybower7301]

love your drawings Kelly!!!!!

[@SCRAPBOOKINGWITHMECRAFTS]

Wow you are so good. And no the fingers did not look like sausages. Thank you for sharing. Can you show use how you sketch for a painting.

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

The problem is it's just so light, and all I do are outlines. I'm going to put a few drawing videos together, though, with shading, so you can kind of get the idea.

[@mrsasmithy]

This blows my mind. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@eugeniabotezatu2423]

Mahhhh! !!!! Che bell dipinto! !!!!bellissimo ooooohhh ❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍

[@ndoorack]

I'm new to watercolor painting, and absolutely love your videos. Having watched several, I can see the importance of having a fuzzy brush for hair. Do you have any tips on how to recreate your beloved "old ruined round brush" when all you have are newer brushes?

[@valuerhubli]

Thank you Kelly, it was a wonderful tutorial ..

[@kristingehm]

Absolutely amazing!! :) Em and I sat and watched this together!! I'm hanging in Southern IL! :) You are an amazing talent!! :) xoxo Kristin

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

Hey thanks, Kristin! Glad you liked it. :) Have fun with the Poof!

[@brettevans3222]

I love Sandy Duncan, I wish we saw her more

[@My123Cents]

Great painting. You truly are talented.

[@taraannegarcia]

Just amazing!

[@andinickelnoland]

what a wonderful gift to give to someone..

[@jessicavandermade8985]

Y love your work.makes my wanne paint.good en handy tips.thank you

[@leilaleiloulililala2639]

it's a great idea :D i'll make a lot of portraits like that with just one color, it's a good way to exercise ^^

[@MitchelleNgo]

I love all your videos, but I'm wondering if you'll be making a tutorial for landscapes?

[@MadgeKC]

When you do a painting do you always complete it in one day or do you work in stages? Whenever I watch your videos I'm in awe of your amazing talent!

[@letyreyna8473]

Beautiful you are so good and teach so well

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@1mki1ian]

This is such a beautiful painting, Kelly! I took art all four years of High School, but never got to learn watercolor painting and plan to try this with one color. I do have a few watercolor paint sets and need to buy paper is the watercolor paper at Walmart ok to start with? Also I have brush sets, but I just went and got ones that I like the look of and was never told what I need to watercolor with. One set I have is made of Raccoon hair. When I get all my items out I plan to take photos of what I have and post to Instagram if you would not mind taking a look and telling me if what I have is good to use as I start out painting again:) I did most of my art in black ink. I will post a picture I did on Instagram for you to see. Thanks!

[@jcb0818]

Beautiful.

[@KYUBI4]

This is absolutely gorgeous!!!!

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

Thanks!

[@KYUBI4]

You're Welcome!!! :)

[@gc-134orlando3]

Increible. tus videos me han ayudado mucho. apreciaria si pudieras hacer un video sobre las manos. ya que me cuesta mucho dibujarlas

[@angelinatran4930]

wow use black and it will look like a comic kinda. lol i have problems doing hands too. they are a pain to me. i often avoid drawing them now. I have a question too. what kind of brush do u use for lashes? i want to know they right kind so i can get it.

[@kvetter001]

wonderful!!

[@mattrn58]

I really loved this video-I mostly work in pen and ink and I watch your videos trying to get up the courage to paint. Would there be any differences to how you would work if you were using ink wash instead of watercolor?

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

Thanks Matthew! Honestly: not really. They're about the same. The paper I use (Arches 140 lb cold press) is more forgiving than anything I've used with ink, and lifting is easier. It's been a while since I've done ink wash drawings, but it always seemed like once ink was on the paper, there wasn't much you could do to change it. So if you ask me, watercolor's a little easier, at least monochrome. :)

[@Tamarashadow]

Wow this is amazing and it looks so real, it seems like the painting would start talking haha :)

[@itsmine2193]

You may have been asked this but I'll ask anyway, have got a book out of your technics? Or one just showing your sublime Art?

[@dwaineleeart]

Amazing! feeling very inspired now :-)

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

Go Dwaine!

[@EllisseDxxx]

Sorry if this is a silly question but do you dampen the paper before you paint?

[@restezlameme]

Definitely NOT sausage fingers! :) Immaculately done!

[@Shel4everBeauty]

PERFECT and agree w/DRmakeup girl!

[@sarahdianajenninfer]

Kelly, are you not updating your blog anymore?

[@HAPPYartQC]

Beautiful painting! Your details are amazing.. Love it :D

[@DebbieBuckland]

Awesome

[@CrombieAberFitch]

Where do you start when doing portraits I feel they are overwhelming to start once you softly outline. Figuring out what steps and parts to do in what order seem overwhelming.

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

You need a good drawing first--at least enough so that you can see where you're at once you start. I usually go in the order you see in the video. I think you really have to get the eyes right first--if you don't, what's the use of painting anything else? Keep practicing, and be brave!

[@directionerLRN77]

loved! wowww

[@tracybower7301]

Oh my GOD!!!!

[@betsyselstad1537]

Amazing!

[@CrombieAberFitch]

What do you use to tape to the board in all your videos?

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

Kraft paper tape--really inexpensive, lasts forever.

[@ggggrrrrraaaacccceeee]

Did you trace the picture with pencil or did you hand draw it?

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

I drew the outlines by hand super lightly. Took a while!

[@ggggrrrrraaaacccceeee]

Art Food Kitty - Kelly Eddington oh cool, good job :)

[@ashmint9350]

I LOOOOOVVVEEEE IT!!! >,

[@catreadsbooks]

Do you paint in other mediums?

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

I like acrylics, but I've never devoted much time to oils.

[@blablablall656]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@nessygemini85]

One of my teachers said watercolor wasn't "real art" lol it always stuck with me but your videos are making me question that lol

[@oanagabriela1087]

One of my teachers said that only coloured drawings and paintings mean ''real art'' and that black and white or monochromatic drawings and paintings are just practicing... Until I got her to see my finished black and white drawings and my monochromatic ones. Then she changed her opinion.

[@tanithlambi]

Your teacher has no idea what they are talking about, or perhaps they themselves have a block with/against water-colour. It is INDEED an art!! Teachers like that have no business being teachers!! Grrrrrrr!!!

[@magical571]

Tanith Lambi it's common in the art "circle" to look down upon watercolor. mostly because of how many people you have out there doing pretty much the same, no very much thought put into it. i mean, have you seen for example how many videos are there of those splashy, extra colorful portraits? they are all the same. and show no real knowledge of the medium (just a very basic undersanding of it) and a piece of art should be somehing unique, not something done in the same manner again and again no thought put into it. But then again, that isn't the fault of the technique iself, but of a certain type of people overusing it.

[@yesungkpopper4ever]

Now it makes me want to stop using watercolor +_+ hhh... What about using colored pencil... I bet that isn't art either .... Oh well... I use mostly colored pencil and watercolor ... But have also done acrylic, graphite, and charcoal... I also want to try oil painting

[@MrsTitina]

Noooooo words!!

[@UConceptPublishing]

just beautiful

[@msturi2002]

I would definitely buy an Eiffel Tower/ Parisian painting print from you.

[@KellyEddingtonWatercolors]

Hmm, maybe one day! The first acrylic painting I ever did was the Eiffel Tower, back when I was 14!

[@handmade1057]

very interesting ;.-)

[@tracybower7301]

you are a true artist cat loving woman

[@jellyfishpancakes5]

She looks like Twiggy :)

[@myzell89]

wow ;)

[@aminkone]

You need a pop screen for your microphone, it's almost unbearable to listen, but I want to hear what you say!!

[@EllisseDxxx]

Sorry if this is a silly question but do you dampen the paper before you paint?
