I'm so glad you liked my video, Lorraine

[@kathryndenson9346]

Thank you so much for sharing your talent. It truly takes a trained eye to be able to see the negative shapes! I am practicing every day in hopes that I will be as quick to see the shapes and paint as beautifully as you do. Thanks again!

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

You are so welcome! I've been negative painting for many years therefore I 'see' the shapes quickly. You got this! Please share your art, I'd love to see it. Lorraine

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

Hi, 😊

[@pamboone4458]

This is so beautiful! I was able to do the leaf painting while watching your video. I enjoyed it very much! This one is so hard to get my brain around until the end. Then I SEE!💕

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

Wow! Seeing it is the start of understanding this process. You got this! I'm so glad you enjoyed & found value in my video. Thanks, Lorraine

[@pat11july]

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

😁 thanks

[@sarahgardner4362]

How in the world did you come up with this technique?? It's absolutely stunning!!

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

Hi Sarah, I'm so happy you enjoyed this video. Like most new ideas this started out as an experiment in making interesting marks with watercolor. Once I started blowing the paint with a straw I immediately saw the flower shapes appear. Because negative painting is ingrained in my brain it intrigued me more and more so I kept pushing this idea until I achieved the results I wanted. Thanks, I hope you try it and let me know how you did 😊 Lorraine

[@greenartichoke4967]

Thank you so much for sharing 🙏 Beautiful 👍

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

[@Ms222Donna]

[@vanessacarlson2055]

Well, I’ve never had a more productive morning, woke up at 3:30 and having watched this yesterday, I had to get up and try! I’m waiting for my second layer to dry now. Not as beautiful as yours, but then it’s my first time. 😅 thanks for the video!

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

I know the feeling of having to get my brushes wet & moving on a painting that's calling to me..... glad you're trying this technique. Happy painting!

[@jjoy2866]

ThankYou for your generosity in sharing I really love what you’ve done and I’m going to have a go at it. It’ll be a real test for my eyes making out all the different pedals. I really am so grateful to you thank you very much and have a lovely day happy painting and creating

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

[@Shilo2020]

Had better results with your leaf negative painting. Its me! 😊 This is so pretty. I made notes for myself on where I felt I could do better. Very fun to do!

[@chrisames9792]

That is a wonderful technique which I will definitely try! I have one question; what color is your darkest value? Thank you for sharing your expertise!

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

Hi, For the darkest value I am using Undersea Green by Daniel Smith. Thanks 😊

[@burneyec8154]

Very pretty .Have a question what type of watercolours paints have you used in this painting? It looks like you are using maybe inks pens . Thank you Deb.

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

Hi Deb. I use Holbein and Daniel Smith tube watercolor paints. No ink pens. I rarely add any other medium to my watercolor paintings. Happy painting 😊

[@janetsilver3746]

I live in super dry climate so the sprinkling on and straw bit has to be so fast!

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

True! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@daniellefung6554]

Beautiful but I don’t think I can do that

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

Hi Danielle I'm glad you like the flower painting AND I bet you could paint a simpler version of this. Try blowing the paint and finding the flower shapes & negative paint around them. Don't try painting any other layers. Practice this until you feel like you can see the flower shapes. Then you might want to try adding a 2nd layer. You can do this! Please let me know if you try this, Lorraine

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

Hi Danielle, I posted a video on blowing paint to make flowers but It's only one layer. I thought about how you felt you couldn't do this and I'm sure you are not alone in those thoughts. This video is step by step and easy to follow. I hope it helps you, here's the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5zPn2edhJmVhrM
