Your description and demonstration of how to paint the pedals has made such a difference for me! Great tutorial

[@gwenharrison6752]

I cant believe I liked what I did after watching and learning from this video!

[@Jesus-lives-inside-me]

You have beautiful hands!! Lovely to watch!

[@lauriebowen25]

This is fabulous! I struggle with sunflowers for some reason

[@judyhodnett8633]

Yes I agree that your approach is different but I really like your instructions and the finished sunflower - I like the way you painted the center as this is always the most difficult part for me TFS

[@dalyte62]

Love your sunflowers

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

Thanks. Glad you like them 🤗🌸🌺🌼

[@FannaTurano]

Your sunflowers are a new approach I've not seen before, Clarice. Again, I love your slower method for newbies like me! You inspired me with your pansies, & while I didn't make those yet (this weekend!), I brought out my Silver Brushes & made a pretty good mountains & great sky painting, so thank you! I've vowed to make one 10 min painting every day, in addition to my larger pieces. So happy to have found your channel. Thank you for your generosity in all you share. Fanna Turano Denver, CO

[@ljsquare1]

Beautiful. You have beautiful hands too.

[@melindarincon7571]

Beautiful and great explanation of the steps. Would love to see you do a sunflower from the side, a bud and leaves. Maybe a bouquet! This loose sunflower is the best.

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

Great idea! Maybe I will continue these for Sunday's Live painting... :)

[@marleneturco317]

Thank you Clarice for the beautiful Sunflower tutorial. You are giving me the confidence and inspiration to paint these lovely flowers, etc. You are a gifted artist! Thank you again!

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

Thanks Marlene, for such kind words

[@bradleyheath7277]

i realize I am quite off topic but does anyone know of a good place to stream newly released movies online ?

[@raggedyroad]

Loved this one. Can't wait to paint along tomorrow.

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

Yes, Kim, please do!

[@Wishesfeb29]

I just watched your sunflowers in mason jar and I'm so excited. I'm going to practice sunflowers with this video and try the gorgeous bouquet again. You are such a great teacher for us beginners. Many other tutorials skip steps that may seem obvious to some painters, but to true beginners those steps are vital. You do not skip steps and I'm improving and having success with your tutelage. Thanks, Erin in Tulsa, Oklahoma

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

Thanks Erin! I try my best to encompass as much detail so you guys can get my thought process.

[@sheilaavery2902]

[@momof4greatkids]

Love your ring also!

[@Geri412]

I love watching you your so precise and neat making it look simple. When I try to copy it I am not always successful maybe because I have a brown thumb even to grow flowers. Thx

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

Thanks so much, Geraldine

[@snookers8687]

I LOVE sunflowers! You are such a talented artist and your confidence and your ability to make painting effortless, makes me think “ I can do that!” Um. Nope, I cannot. I’m having a hard time getting past the ugly part of a painting. I have an box of half completed paintings that I could not finish because they look ghastly. Any tips for the very unconfident wannabe-watercolorist that NEVER FINISHES A THING?

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

So this is why I like loose style, as it allows me to get away with 'mistakes' and also...I paint without looking at something. Why? Because if I try to mimic something I get hooked on why it doesn't look like the image...if I paint with a plan, I appreciate the turn out much better. I can also stop whenever I feel like it and call it complete. Happy to talk more on thing if you want 🤗🌼🌺🌸

[@jsscreation9696]

Nice

[@jenniferglenesk4195]

The one additional helpful aspect would be to show what you are doing that was off camera range. How much water and paint and are you using, are you drying your brush on a towel, etc. A wider camera range would be helpful for my beginning skills. Thank you so much!

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

Thanks Jennifer. This is great feedback as I am still trying to figure out a better way to show the detail as I paint and also the mixing and such off screen. Hence I try to explain with as much detail as possible as I paint, to make up for this bit. Appreciate your feedback💕

[@youtubefavs8606]

Anita. Winchester U.K. Hi Clarice, Lovely Sunflower, thought You would also have done the leaf too, maybe a bud as well???? Love all your Dems, they are so beautiful, and are helping me so much. thank you. x

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

Thanks Anita! You caught them during the live stream 🤗🌸🌺🌼. Thanks for tuning in.

[@karinayuwono]

Hi Clarice! I tried your sunflowers like 4 times but I keep getting hard edges around all of my petals, they don't look like a smooth wash like yours :/ how can I fix this?

[@pedinurse1]

Clarice my centers turned out chalky ugggg, why

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

Emily, what kind of paint and paper are you using?

[@wenangelsfly2105]

lower your paper please lot of arm and can't see your beautiful painting

[@ClariceGomesdesigns]

Yes, I missed it was that high in the beginning. It gets better though :)
