Great clarity in explaining this difficult technique! I agree, having no music keeps the viewer focussed, and not distracted. I also love your color swatches before you dive in. Thank you for some great teaching!

Awesome, thank you! Glad it was helpful.

Thank you for making an easy demo on negative painting, I am really trying to learn this, and it is confusing to me. Your demo gave me hope. Now, I am going to try to pain from a photo I took of many trees swaying in the breeze. God bless you.

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

You can do it! Please check out my 'circle' negative painting video. It helps you see the layering process in it's simplest form. Let me know how you made out painting tree your image. Lorraine

[@LauraCourtneyette]

Great tutorial - clear, concise and easy to follow - the kind of tutorial that makes me think that I can do it too! Love the tip re drawing with a watercolor pencil then simply lifting it off with a wet brush 👍🏼

Thank you! 😊 I'm so glad you enjoyed it.

[@catherinebrader2225]

I did this painting a few years ago as my first watercolour painting. It was done with just one colour to make it simpler and see the values growing in depth. I'll have to give it another try with lots of colour now that I see your beautiful painting. Thanks.

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

Thats great! Please let me know how it came out, I'd love to see your colors. Thanks, Lorraine

I love you're videos and the way you work your colors! I'm super new to watercolors so this is a little out of my depth. But I am finding that practicing the negative painting technique is really helping me with value control. Your videos are helpful beyond words. Thank you!

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

You are so welcome! Learning the importance of value is so helpful for a beginner. Keep practicing and explore color mixing as you do. Each exercise you do will allow you to expand your skills. Have fun & keep painting, Lorraine

Hi! I just found you! This popped up on my you tube feed… and am I ever glad it did!! I downloaded this negative tree tutorial- I love it, I love your teaching style cuz you actually teach! You tell the why and how. I love your bright cheerful color choices! I think I will learn a lot from you! It seems a lot of the water color videos the artist is practicing emotional therapy- which is great I guess but I’m not sure it’s good for watercolor- I love your site! Thank you for sharing. I’m going to try this. Also, I’m not sure if I missed some of the audio or if you purposely turned sound on and off. This was a GREAT way to start 2023! Thanks again- Karen

[@lorrainerimmelinwatercolor]

I'm so glad you found me and that you find my videos useful & easy to understand. Creating videos has been a huge learning experience for me. When I speed up the video I turn the sound off because any words become gibberish at a faster speed. I'm sure there is a better way to do this but I'm not sure how to get it done. I hope that clarifies the sound issue & thanks for your feedback, Lorraine
