Beautiful 🎉

[@melindaelliott6680]

Very beautiful❣️ I love the colors. Just curious... Why didn't you use your bloom brush? Many thanks 💜

[@ashleyoakley8268]

Just speculation, but this is supposed to be an introduction to watercolor kind of tutorial, so maybe she went with a round since that would be a brush pretty much every early watercolor artist would have? The bloom brush is a little more specialized, so not everyone may have it if they are just starting out.

[@brandywendellrowan-pd6cx]

I think it's probably because she's recreating the art on her book cover and her blooms brush hadn’t been thought about then 🤔

[@rosebleue5503]

Beautiful

I've seen a lot of watercolor artists using large sheets, as you do here, I'm wondering, do you find it easier to paint larger paintings? Would it be something you suggest for newbies? I've stuck to smaller pieces so far because I feel it is easier to hide mistakes. Thanks! Your work is beautiful and I love your tutorials!

[@tarashannon2042]

Based on watching a lot of other floral artists tutorials I’d say for sure the answer to your question is absolutely yes! IF you are attracted to the loose style it’s virtually impossible as a newbie to achieve on small paper - l have learned the hard & expensive way …. Lots of 9x6 & 6x4 bundles of paper collecting dust in my stash 🤦🏼‍♀️ probably good for one flower at a time study & trying my hand at abstract art for collage but for loose floral compositions I’d say 9x12 is the smallest possible for successful results 😊

​@tarashannon2042 This is interesting information! I started out as a nail tech and then stayed home with all my babies, and got into watercolor about 3 years ago as I wasn't able to paint my own nails due to health problems. I had to get my art out in some way and was lead to watercolor. I started out just making my diy standard TN planner look pretty. That feel like a big jump from such a small canvas, but the last few months I have been playing around with 9x12 and 10x15. I find that whatever size paper I give myself I use it all even when my intentions were to have a big white boarder. I hadn't thought about starting out using big paper, wish I had known that in the beginning! But I'm getting there. Thanks for the tip! My biggest struggle now and always has been speed. I'm slow and everything dries so fast maybe that's why I didn't move up to biggest paper sooner. 🙃 Happy Painting!

Lovely painting, not sure I see roses.

[@CayGjertson]

I tried to watch this on Patreon and the video quit part way through and wouldn’t continue so I played this on KZbin.. Hopefully you can figure out a fix for the Patreon version.

[@brandywendellrowan-pd6cx]

Is there a different tutorial on there?

[@brandywendellrowan-pd6cx]

Never been on there

[@terylfranks6467]

I can't get on the seashore tutorial

[@MC-tg1xk]

That large white spot in the middle of your first flower bothers me. I can't see the Rose in that one. Otherwise it looks like a great painting.

[@MusicalMarzy]

I agree, not sure if I'd paint it that way

[@Joan4me]

Don’t think that one is supposed to be a rose.

[@amandaterrio4823]

I too prefer the more closed center. I think she was trying to be more loose with the first

[@katherineh.6852]

I love it, I think it looks kind of magical and expressive...like it refuses definition and increases the looseness but also showcases the harsh center parts which I love

[@creeksidehomeschoolers]

I'm still learning only been painting in watercolor for 3 years and was a nail tech prior to staying home with babies. Maybe it's just me and how I'm seeing the art, but does anyone else see how the roses are face different directions? I can't seem to tell what direction the 2 open flowers are facing. I personally like the book cover art better than the updated version, but art is subjective and we all like what we like. Painting the direction of a loose rose has been something I've struggled with for a few years. I finally found a system for myself but they still don't look as loose as I'd like. Prospective is hard for me but I'm working on it.
