Have You Tried This? Let's Watercolor a Landscape on Round Paper! Relaxing step-by-step tutorial

[@sheilaosebold9899]

I wanted to point out how much I appreciate how you do your tutorials, and how I wish other KZbin channels would learn from your example. It's so nice to watch/follow along with you, and not have music constantly in the background. I love hearing your thought process, and it feels like we're in the room together. Thank you Lindsay for always being out there with us!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks!

[@Kyomiibrown]

So pretty. You could seal it with Dorland’s wax, mount it and get a clock mechanism and turn it into a clock Lindsay!

[@marytesta3003]

Great idea. That would be beautiful as a clock face. I signed up to get a notice when your brushes come out. I'll be so glad to get a reliable inexpensive set.

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

Gorgeous round painting, Lindsay! I was expecting the flowers’ reflections in the stream, but you surprised me with the reeds in the foreground… spectacular and I realized my favorite hobby is not only purchasing watercolor paints/ craft supplies, but watching you paint and swatch!! TFS!! 🥰🤩👍🏾💜🤣😃😂

[@geriprior751]

Really glad you decided to share the video. Very pretty landscape and it sounds like you are having a lot of fun with the paints. Your joy always comes through for a great viewing experience. Thanks for sharing Lindsay.

[@FaithandFun-w6q]

Oh this is really good. Love it 😍 Thank you for sharing dear.

[@carrollwilson5169]

A lovely painting. Really glad you filmed and then uploaded this. Sitting watching, saying to myself, I don’t need any more watercolours, I don’t need more, definitely no….. I wonder how much they are? They really are pretty, like Lindsay is saying. Hmmmm, might just go check them out. Thanks Lindsay 💖💖💖💖

[@staceydailey6394]

I love watching you paint and I love paul rubans! These are two of my favorite things! 😍

[@penniecormier8770]

That was fun! Glad you mentioned the brand of paints near the end! 💗

[@sac1303]

Yes, it was relaxing to watch. Another successful piece of art. Good teaching and suggestions.

[@winternight8813]

It is so cool and soothing to watch the painting unfold and the vision of a spring afternoon appear from the paint!

[@sparker-sparkle]

i really love watching people paint things like this i used to do a bit less sketching sometimes and paint/draw more like this i haven’t done it in awhile i might have to try doing that again once i’m finished with what i’m working on now

[@Papiercutz]

Beautiful! I would hang that in my home! I wish I could paint. What I see is never what my hand paints.

[@taylorjudi]

I am so happy you published this tutorial!

[@Nena108]

Oh loved it! So gorgeous. I will try this myself soon. Thank you, Lindsay ❤

[@annettefournier9655]

Thanks Lindsay. I love using sea sponge for foliage on trees. I just did some plein air this past weekend. Love that technique. 🥰

Your Art Seriously Rocks Girl ......... LOVE IT ....................

[@willemijnkamerling4011]

I always enjoy watching you paint. Probably say that every video 😊 I have a round canvasbord of some sort. Might give this a try. On a different note, I bought the set of 12 derwent drawing pencils, then I got two other colours openstock. Today the rest came in I also bought openstock. I'm such a happy camper to have all of them now. Such beautiful colours!

[@donnabirney817]

Just loved this one!!! You are so creative! freedom love it!!! more of these Thanks so much!!

what a nice landscape

[@bethbellthethriftycrafter5233]

Love this. I finally realized that I could use all my Ohuhu alcohol ink markers if I outlined each area with acrylic markers first. So happy, I can now use all my markers on fabric without bleeding. Woo Hoo. I was going to donate all of them. Next I'll see if it works with my inktense too.

[@kimmcdaniel5708]

Love this and really enjoy all your videos. Thank you for sharing your gift 💕

[@impish22]

loved this one..!!

[@jimflack9462]

Lovely. I was thinking stream rather than pond, so wasn't expecting the grasses in the foreground. Funny how each person visualizes differently. Also, how just adding that detail completely changes the painting. Excellent as usual. Just watching you paint is a treat. Thank you!

[@Linda-qq5mg]

Your painting is delightful! It has a calming effect to it! Thank you Lindsay. I always enjoy your videos!

[@tommiesmith8925]

That is a beautiful picture. Starting from blank to a masterpiece of watercolor. Could you do the same thing with colored pencils or gelatos, that would be something to see. Thanks 🙏🏽 for sharing your talent with us.💞💞🙏🏽🥰😇👍👍

[@starshinesoldier]

Looks very fun and beautiful!

[@Off-gridchic]

I bought some round canvas and it was not expensive. Compare to some traditional canvas. I'm looking forward to painting on it. Nice painting.

Hi Lindsay, What a nice painting. So relaxing to watch you paint the beautiful scenery.

[@smitachengappa]

Very pretty! I've really enjoyed using round watercolour paper (like with the apples I did for critique club). I think it got me out of a rut, funny how a slightly different material can do that.

[@racheldunbar3311]

Beautiful!

[@nadeaner.cowley513]

Great video! Thanks so much for sharing:)

The Paul Rubens remind me off the shinhan pass wc I own. Thinned down as well as opaque wise. Realy liking this one would be fun on a slimline card ... only would add cattails

[@cindylouwhobohl6983]

Very pretty! Love watching you paint! I had to order some of the round paper prime day! Thanks for the tip!

i saw your artwork in the review section how cool is that

[@lindagunter7811]

Love it!

[@Craftaartissaurus]

Very pretty, gosh I forgot about using sponges, must remember love the effect you made with them. The big Magnolia tree has just started flowering (yep hope the flowers stay out for a bit longer we have snow coming) it looks amazing, I’m sure I could use this technique on a painting of the tree. Have a great week. Thanks for a great video.

[@stanky6261973]

Gorgeous landscape painting, Lindsay!! I love the rock, too! The trees are perfect. Tfs.

[@sambabird7]

So tranquil and beautiful! Love the color mixes.

[@robot7759]

I use second hand lp's for this, you know the 12'? Plug the hole in the center with a bit of tissue and PVA, give it at least one serious coat of gesso and your good to go. Pretty cheap 'canvas'.

[@marytesta3003]

Wow!! Now I am impressed with that creativity. Not in a million years would that idea ever cross my mind. Our goodwill has hundreds of LP's. I'm going to try it!!

[@AafkeVultink]

Im still trying to find a use for round paintings though... maybe one of them trifold cards with interactive turning circle?

[@berolinastrassmann]

This is beautiful. I am curious, why do you think these particular paints male you feel free(er) to experiment than traditional paints? I admire your skill to create this landscape with just a few brush strokes at the beginning. It was the perfect "scaffolding" to support the rest of the piece. Loved watching you do this. I have some round papers that I haven't used yet. Will give them a try. Thanks a lot for this!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Im not sure really

[@beckyb4074]

Beautiful painting Lindsay. I have a question unrelated to this video, but in the Grumbacher Academy watercolor tube paints there is a Cadmium red deep hue, Cadmium red medium hue, and a Cadmium red light hue - the same in the Cadmium yellow's as well. (?) If I wanted to pick one red or one yellow for part of my primary colors, how do I know if I need the deep hue, medium hue or light hue? I hope my question makes sense. Anyway, in case anyone is interested, this week at Hobby Lobby the Grumbacher Academy watercolor tube paints are on sale for $2.99 per tube, that are regularly priced at $4.99 per tube. This sale ends Saturday and I don't think they go on sale again for two weeks, or maybe it's once a month. I haven't gotten to track the sale ads that much yet. Anyway Lindsay, thanks for sharing your time, knowledge and inspirations. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

[@thefrugalcrafter]

The reasoning is hard to explain in a comment but I recommend a split primary palette. I have a video about it on my channel.

[@TheLord_MyShepherd]

HI Becky, Usually your deep reds are cooler and light reds are warmer (so use one of each for a split primary palette which employs 6 colours) and medium reds are more neutral so use them for a primary trio (limited to 3 colours). For yellows, darker yellows are warmer (closer to red) and lighter yellows are cooler (closer to green) so choose one of each for a split primary, and medium yellows are more neutral so use them for a primary trio. Hope that's helpful.

[@TheLord_MyShepherd]

P.S in case you're also wondering about blues, colors like cerulean blue are cool (closer to green) ultramarine is a warmer blue (closer to red) so choose both for a split primary, and pthalo is a great neutral mixing blue for a primary trio.

[@beckyb4074]

@@TheLord_MyShepherd thank you very much. Yes this is very helpful. Thank you again. Take care and God bless. Sincerely Becky B

[@penniecormier8770]

What paints are you so inspired with? Love the round paper too.

[@JanetBuol]

Love this round one. Your brush skills are so crazy good. Spent more time watching and noting your grip on the brush. Question on the Gauci paints? Maybe I missed it, and apologies but what makes it different from watercolor? The pros and cons? Can tell you really used that palette.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

They are a traditional Chinese paint so they are designed for rice paper. They are just a bit different. A little thicker.

[@JanetBuol]

@@thefrugalcrafter Gotcha, thank you. For your list of tutorial ideas, how about just brush skills? Over time, I have picked out some of your tips on brush maneuvers, but maybe all in one place would let us compare and go back to reference. You might already have one that I haven't seen.

[@beckyb4074]

Hello Lindsay, I'm sure I've watched that video. And I understand what you've said about the split primary colors, but what I don't know - is how to choose from the deep, medium or light hues of the reds or the yellows? I have the list of split primary colors plus a few nice to have colors you've given me. And I surely don't want to be a bother. Sometimes it's hard to put a question into understandable written words. If anyone else would like to chime in, I'd be okay with that too. Thanks for everything. Take care and God bless you and yours. Sincerely Becky B from Arkansas

any suggestions on framing or presentation of round watercolors

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I'd mount it on colored board and mat with a contrasting color leaving the colored mounting board visible and frame it in a square record albim fram as they are affordable.

[@cheryl6716]

How does the Paul Rubens round watercolor block compare to the other brand of round watercolor blocks that you've used? Which one is best in your opinion? I thought that you used Arteza before, but I looked on Amazon for the Arteza round WC blocks this morning and nothing came up for the search. Am I mistaken on the brand that you previously used?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Arteza has been sold out for months so I recommended the PR because a good online friend of mine likes is and has created beautiful work on it and when I asked her about it she highly recommended it. Also I like the other Paul Rubens papers I've tried so I thought it was rather to recommend that one over the other no-name brands Amazon sells. I don't know why Arteza comes out with stuff they never restock. Especailly when they ask me to review it but by the time I've used it enough to do a review its gone! Anyway, that's why I linked to Paul rubens paper. Feel free to trace a plate and make your own paper:)

[@maritaranda7782]

🤩❤️😍🌺🌸😊

[@karenhoward303]

I like it but doesn't it cost a fortune to frame?

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Depends. I'd mount it on a board that looks nice and cut a square mat to go around that, then I'd frame it in a 12x12 album frame. It's a standard size so it's cheap and I can have 2 accent colors with the mat and mount. I do my own framing so my cost is low.
