This is actually a 'preview' of Carrie's full length video tutorial. I purchased the full-length DVD and it is the best watercolor tutorial I have ever seen! I wish she would do more. She covers all the steps in detail in the full-length video. You will not miss a thing, and you will be happy that you purchased it.

[@sherifahalsayegh5648]

Shirley Malar can you tell me where you purchased the dvd from? It’s not on amazon!

[@romypie3725]

It's a shame that most and important parts of the process of painting were not shown.

[@luvthisscrap]

+Romy Pie I completely agree :(

[@mimminiminiim565]

The secrets were not shown...

[@PatriciaPageMosaicArtsCrafts]

Agree very disappointing 🙄

[@nettiemoss324]

@@mimminiminiim565 it's a taster - to whet the appetite to join up and pay for whole tutorial - artists need to earn

[@stampinturtles]

When I paint I make sound effects too. Lol. Lovely painting!

[@arlenemurphy804]

You are a wonderful artist.wish we could have seen the entire process. Thank you.

[@Dragonpetal]

I love how fun you are! Paint like you are petting the puppy. "Oh cute puppy!". Zombie dog.. Very fun watching. Thanks so much!

[@artistsnetwork]

Hi @nita j. Sorry to hear you were disappointed. We couldn't post the whole video here, it is a full-length and this is just a preview. I hope some of the tips have helped.

[@MsPandora93]

I love this painting! Thanks for sharing your techniques.

[@rainbowfox1934]

That is lovely. I like the soft colors that make the puppy feel like you could pet it.

[@biene2605]

fantastic! I am so enthusiastic about the picture. Well done!

[@biene2605]

Фантастика! Несколько движений кистью, как взмах крыла, и появилось чудо на бумаге! БРАВО !!!

[@marykatemoran8968]

I actually found the tips for painting the eyes extremely helpful. Thank you for demonstrating your painting -- I learned a great deal. It was short but very insightful and informative.

[@maryleneauffret-todorov2389]

[@CHloE748]

All that water on the paper scared me!! Lol

[@tatianabrown7559]

Could you share the photo she uses in this video?Thanks.

[@jessicagallo7657]

What is the white "highlighting" paint you used at the end for details?

[@ellendayton8005]

what kind of brush are you using with the gouache?

[@victoriasculpturable]

I tried to order the dvd from your site. I think the link is broken. it would mean so much to me to have this.

[@artistsnetwork]

Carrie uses 140-lb. cold press paper. Enjoy!

[@assaf_story]

can you repeat why you brushed the paper with only water at the beginning? i was like "what is she doing?!" great tips by the way :)

[@lalaithan]

+Assaf Drori It's a technique called wet-in-wet. There are plenty of resources on KZbin or if you Google it.

[@mimip5180]

[@mrsjohnhughes]

[@llaaddyss2834]

[@TheMschan330]

? i wanna know what you said but I only speak english

[@Gatacorp]

you are really good, too bad you skipped the important steps that i needed

[@kuikai100]

sweet

[@brendalopez768]

Cant follow the steps most of this is missing

[@j2cool2]

I am a little disappointed, a lot was skipped. I really wanted to know n see how the painting was done for the nose and eyes. I kinda consider those areas detail too. I once owned a similar looking dog; a Chow Chow and wanted to paint her for my son's birthday. He was very attached to her. I got her as pup while pregnant n on bed rest with him. Their bond stayed strong after he was born like a connection. Do u have any other vids showing how to do these areas or create some, please. Thank you

[@sisuhall222]

She's a wonderful artist but you should have presented this video as clips and not an actual instructional video. Very disjointed product, marketing isn't everything people, sometimes you have to give a bone.

[@joangagne1903]

Too bad it skips over the details.

[@gwenaubineau2040]

Not a good tutorial. No indication on what color of paints she was using and no indication on how she achieved the wispy fur look.

[@carriestuartparks9023]

This is just a sample. I did share in the full.
