Love the loose style, and with all the technicque!!! Wonderful!!! Thanks!! Well deserved the million views!

[@maryannshidaker2596]

What I like about her tutorials is she tells you how to use the brush, which part of the brush, what to do with the water, the paint, etc. What's great too is she doesn't go on and on about things that a newbie to watercolor isn't interested in . . . yet. Certainly plan to try this one!

[@helenduplessis9820]

After six years this remains one of my all time favorites!, watched this many times! 🥰🥰🥰

[@patrickscaia9335]

I watched this months ago and just saw it again, as it was the best example of loose on loose I've seen.

[@andreaj6524]

Thank you.. you are a great teacher.

[@rolandegirona5797]

la vidéo la plus extraordinaire que je n'ai jamais vue pour une aquarelle tellement vivante, j'adore le "loose" je l'utilise mais là je vais le peaufiner, un grand merci et un grand bravo

[@mimiq1962pty]

Thank you Thank you Thank you! It is so important to be reminded that the goal is not perfection, not to stay within the lines... As an aspiring artist I have to constantly slap myself on the hand, to remember to have fun while learning... Your tutorial class is a peaceful heaven, and off course, those two factors light and negative space are a fantastic way of creating a (hopefully) masterpiece!

[@ritabook5335]

Love your technique, Joanne! Beautiful! You define the term "loose painting". This is certainly the time for letting go with the paint to experience FREEDOM!!! Freedom for everyone on Earth!!!

[@masayoART]

Wow...great watercolor technique

[@paulettepaulette1613]

Lovely session. Helped me enormously. Did Sweet Peas. So the fold if the flower was tricky. Thank you

[@beckyguinn8749]

Thank you Joanne for helping me stay loose through your vibrantly exciting paintings!

[@victorcasanueva3542]

thank you one of the best tutorials

[@dorisdavidson7849]

I love your tutorials, your use of colour, the looseness of your paintings and your enthusiasm. You are an inspiration. I've tried your sunflower, tulips and now the poppies. Awesome!!!

[@abinrajgooglegoogleaccount9391]

Very beautiful colors, very beautiful work of art 🤝👌🌺🌺🌺🌸💮🌺

[@lynbarenbrugge6312]

Reading the other comments, I see that I'm not the only one afraid to put that first bit of paint on paper. It is so intimidating. You are so relaxed about it and seem to have so much fun with it, I may try it again. I hope to see more of your videos. :)

[@lynnemartin2291]

This is as one of the first watercolor videos I watched and it’s still one I love for Joanne’s instruction. She makes it fun and playful. 🤗🤗🤗💁🏻‍♀️

[@maryaltabev5275]

I’m not sure how many times I’ve watched this video in the last 6-8years. Obviously I still enjoy it but more importantly whenever I feel that I my painting is getting tight it always puts me in the right path. Many thanks Joanne!

[@r0b_b0t88]

Thanks for this enjoyable paint-along!

[@kennysmith8358]

Amazing demo . Thank you.

[@janetmissenden4839]

Omgosh, this watercolour is sooooooo gorgeous... thank you for sharing Joanne

[@susanwingfield2647]

I loved this and love the result of your “unfinished” painting. It’s just gorgeous and so free!

[@pennywalker8879]

Joanne, you are awesome. I could listen to you all day. I love that you share your talents and make it less scary to jump in and try your techniques. Thank you.

[@bessiesegal5885]

Emm, I'm a wee bit late to the party but wanted to say that your poppy painting is beautiful and the techniques are a great help to those of us struggling with loose. Thank you!

[@killeraps70]

This is one of the most helpful videos I have seen. Joanne you are an excellent teacher. I wish we could have more of your tutorials.

[@lovewillwinnn]

I LOVE your style!!! And personality. 🎨🖌😍😍😍😍

[@nualaking4516]

What a happy accident to come across this loose watercolour video. I absolutely love it. Thank you.

[@janvimyadventures1310]

KZbin algorithm really does its wonder

[@Kandicookheller]

This is one of my very favorite paintings I have ever seen, and it was my extreme honor to have watched it be painted. I would kill to have that hanging framed in my home. You inspire me. Thank you, Kandi Heller

[@mollypbfitz]

Joanne you are one of the wonderful painters I watch and learn from. You always make me feel that what I am doing is not hard but possible if I just "let go". While I am a less "loose" painter because of my personality(!), I always learn from you to let go and have fun. We don't need to be one or the other "kind" of painter. Thank you for all your encouragement!

[@malinamorin4296]

oh, my gosh! I can't believe you turned it upside down and then shook it! Freaking out! Thank you for rocking my world. I love your bravery and courage.

[@sherryseiden8408]

I love your brave, bold, exciting style!!!

[@bevgrosse631]

I’ve probably watched this a dozen times in the past year. And every time I learn something more. Thank you for sharing your daring and yet caring techniques.

[@sandijones4269]

I love watching you paint - you make it look easy, and more than that, you make it look fun! Thank you!!!

[@brendagiffen498]

I could watch this over, and over again it's so relaxing and reassuring. Great teacher, lovely lesson.

[@gwenharrison6752]

Just luv, luv, luv this Joanne. I think I actually liked my own attempt at last. You teaching is so encouraging.

[@ShinyColors]

Wow 👌 wonderful 👌 enjoyed it 😊 my best wishes to you 💐 💐 Stay safe stay connected my friend 😊

[@lefthandstory1280]

[@zenaidamateos9376]

Thank you. So beautiful, creative and funny!!!

[@PoisonIvy771]

Loose painting really helps to overcome thinking that everything has to be perfect with tonnes of details. Fantastic video and a very gorgeous painting!

[@judyvla]

What a lovely demonstration! As a new and easily intimidated watercolorist, I can’t wait to try these beautiful poppies! BTW, I laughed out loud at “ happy and unhappy accidents”. So true in life, and even more so in watercolor! Thank you so much! Judy Nelson

[@floraparry1579]

Fantastic l really enjoyed it, thank you very much 😊

[@naglasherif6619]

Wow beautiful ❤

[@shirleycovey7309]

I have watched this numerous times and enjoy it more each time. Lovely and loose,,,,that's the beauty of watercolor!

[@soniamehra6177]

Absolutely lovely! Love the way you have shown the white space and balanced the entire painting

[@favorablyimpressed]

I've watched this video three times. I'm so envious of Joanne's style, but I'm inspired, too.

[@jessamine1008]

That's a LOVELY painting. Thank you for the demonstration

[@suziewilkin]

Joanne you have the gift of being a great teacher, very rare, and very enjoyable, learnt soooo much so easily....you go girl !!!!

[@windseafrogs]

Inspiring! Loosey-goosey! Just lovely and you're a very effective teacher. Thank you Joanne

[@ClariceAust]

The best video tuition on loose water colour that I've seen so far! You're a marvelous talent, Joanne.

[@KeepingUpWithTheCatrens]

After many watercolor tutorials I've watched, THIS is by far my favorite! I am so glad I stumbled upon you, Joanne! That painting is gorgeous!!! xxx

[@beatricemacpherson264]

Love this way of working- no fussing, just having creative fun!

[@juliawalsh7934]

This is the first real loose expression of flowers that I've seen on video. I really enjoyed following along with you and getting the feel of painting loosely. Thank you!

[@margaretmusacchio2708]

Fabulous! You make me feel a little braver too! Love your tutorial!

[@franceskasper8716]

I like the way you presented this watercolour painting. My kind of painting. Enjoy the moment of painting always.

[@maricarbo]

I love your loose style! A true artist!

[@alexaelliott2598]

A fabulous tutorial on loose watercolour. I tried the technique. The first effort was OK. Learning just how much water to spray was the key. The second attempt produced a beautiful colourful loose painting that many of my friends have admired. Thanks so much.

[@tatianaovcharova9388]

Joanne was the first watercolour painter I discover on KZbin, and I still love so her works. Many thanks)

[@laowaistudieschina7470]

This was probably the most useful watercolor tutorial I have found to date. Much obliged!

[@lillianmercado878]

Love the loose watercolor poppies and you do them so well. Hope to try them loose.

[@annepozzi]

I love this, Joanne! I am wanting to paint more loosely and even though your technique of turning your painting upside down scares me, it's another hurdle to overcome and am looking forward to trying this. Thank you so much!

[@idecantwellbarnes6707]

Greetings and thank you for this fabulous work. I love it.

[@tatianasamoylova1122]

Super!!!👍👍👍

[@madimoskala6150]

Love it. So much Freedom with watercolor. Thank you for sharing.

[@lolobady2023]

She is a real artist ✨

[@susanburtchell2000]

So beautiful!! Thanks for sharing Joanne!!

[@nutcracker5094]

Just awesome, at times I am so nervous with water colour

[@lindawilcott1689]

What a great tutorial. Each time I watch it, I observe something new like leave more white space and start with light colours. Thank you for sharing your great talent with us.

[@audreybronson2710]

I feel the same way.

[@lioutsiagilles987]

Thank you very much for this wandeful demonstration !!!!

[@doraevatt8320]

I really like this poppies, never get tired of watching. I will give them a try

[@dianavr3291]

wow i've never seen such beautiful watercolour poppies. You make it look so easy as well :)

[@lanalowman7647]

I love your video! I have watched sooo many of these to try learn techniques and they're either alot of talking or in speed motion and that dont help a little bit. You are a great teacher and i love how your straight to the point yet very thorough. Thank you so much for sharing your talent!

[@nataliezotesh3711]

Lana Setzer ,La Mer colours are in fashion.

[@grandma.p]

Cad. yellow and Prussian blue makes a wonderful color. I never thought of it before. Thanks. And I love these flowers, too.

[@TonyWhiteWatercolour]

I love Joanne's work. Fresh as a daisy. SAA channel is great too. :)

[@angelawalker9793]

This video is so old, do you even see comments anymore? I love your loose style, and the way you explain things, and your accent!

[@sachetfm]

I recently found a photo that spoke "paint me loose" to me. The only problem is that I really have no idea how to do that. So, I turned to youtube. While I found some nice videos, none really showed how to paint a loose flower painting. Until I found yours. Extremely helpful. Thanks so much!

[@janemartinmixedmediaartist453]

It’s not the first time I’ve watched this, Joanne! Each time is a colorful pleasure!💕

[@jessicagreene2322]

Yes, yes, yes! Finally. This is the sort of watercolor painting I want to try next! You have explained this so well! Beautiful painting, beautiful talent!!!

[@jgeyer1047]

I am thrilled to find you again. I bought your "sunflower" tutorial 2 years ago when I started painting watercolors and pen and ink,-all your videos I could find til now! Thank You

[@jullanerich3083]

Jan Lee, oh to be able to paint loose... I just can not help my self and go right back into details.. this was wonderful to see how you paint, thanks Jullane

[@angelaviolet]

Love your style of painting Joanne.x

[@franpaszkowski-hood1565]

You are one of the artists that has inspired me so much in my short time painting -- love your pics and tips!!!

[@marypoppins6460]

That was so helpful Joanne and what a great presentation. But I have to say you were the loveliest of all the flowers. Thank you so much. I spent a whole day painting and rewinding this clip. I did 3 great pics with it and my third using these techniques was sent to America which was such a thrill for me. Thank you again Lovely Lady!x

[@JMAubrey]

Very beautiful, what a joy to watch.

[@poke_n_around]

Just loved it. Be brave, I’ll remember to be brave and loose. Thank you 😃😃

[@imp822]

It helps SO much to actually see how others paint....how much water to use, how to turn the brush, etc. love the looseness!! thanks so much for sharing your talent!

[@marygallery5707]

Love this video and can't wait to try it. You make it look so easy! I love look of loose watercolor flowers.

[@StarryDreamsArt]

I really love this tutorial and Joanne's watercolor. It's so fresh and loose. I hope there are more of Joanne's tutorials out there!

[@katedanis9075]

Joanne thank you soo much for this easy tutorial! I've got my courage and paint it, still in the process, but love it already so much! The process is not very controllable, but there is a beauty in it and that child feeling when you hold you breath to see what happens next. Thank you for this wonderful feeling! All the best to you, hugs & love 🌸🌸🌸

[@dm4859]

Love it. Those colors will always make me smile.

[@juliakeats7242]

What a pleasure to look and listen to you! You made it look so easy ....and enjoyable...I've learned a lot!

[@herbalistics9261]

Wow, Joanne your work is so pleasing....I .... just two weeks ago decided to switch to watercolour. You have a knack for waterclour but I especially like the way you play with water...this helps me see a lot of what watercolour really is and what I can do..Great video, well done and you are well spoken which helps. This video and a lesson... I thank you. I will check out more videos but tonight I want to try painting some daisies using your method. Thank you for your time. I truly enjoyed this and this 'negative' painting really does pop up the whole piece. LOVE IT. !

[@sunholee1191]

Love your carefree go with the flow relaxed tutorial.

[@lorisamson7623]

I'm actually a face painter but I'm having some medical issues so I can't get out to do any face painting so I want to try my hand at water colors. I tried acrylics, oil and pastels but I think I'm going to stick with water colors. After watching your video...I'm totally convinced that water color is more my style. I love your video! Thank you! Thank You!!

[@thokchomjayshree8089]

Too good.

[@suecollins876]
